Schwertz: The special case is HeXen: Death King of the Dark Citadel. It has hexen.exe in the game's directory too. But addon should be run via the dedicated launcher hexendk.exe to load properly. And
ravmouse will NOT automatically detect this fact!
So, in this case we leave both dosbox_hexenDK_single.conf and DM.DAT intact. And just fix the config of the hexendk launcher. It is a plain text file named LOCATION.STR. We replace HEXEN.EXE with RAVMOUSE.EXE . The fixed file contents will look like this:
That will fix both single and multiplayer games.
honx: i'm trying to use ravmouse on real 486 (no dosbox). how can i enable mouselook for deathkings of the dark citadel ts(hexendk)?
as mentioned, i'm trying to get it working on real 486 computer, there is no dosbox with its config files involved.
: You do
NOT plan to use DeathManager to run the game
1. As before, put
ravmouse to the directory where
hexendk.exe resides.
2. Create a file named
hexendk.bat with the following contents:
ravmouse -vs 2 -hs 10 -exe hexendk %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
3. Run HexenDK strictly with that file.
Note 1: You don't need separate installation of the unmodded game in this case.
Just create appropriate
hexen.bat as well:
ravmouse -vs 2 -hs 10 -exe hexen %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
Note 2: Do
NOT run neither game nor addon from
setup.exe. Mouselook will not work this way!
Case B: You plan to use DeathManager
1. As before, put
ravmouse to the directory where
hexendk.exe resides.
2. Edit
location.str as descibed earlier to be able run the adddon correctly.
3. Create a file named
hexendk.bat with the following contents:
hexendk.exe -vs 2 -hs 10 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
This will allow you to still run the addon with ravmouse but without DeathManager.
4. Create a file named
dm.bat with the following contents:
dm.exe -vs 2 -hs 10 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
5. Run DeathManager strictly with
dm.bat Note 3: In this case you have to make separate installation for the unmodded game.
Note 4: Do
NOT run addon from
setup.exe. Mouselook will not work this way and addon will not load it's custom resurces as well.
