After you've paid your start-up fee of $20, your status will be Normal.
Any time any users enter DWANGO, leave DWANGO, start a team, play a game,
or anything that could change a user's status, that change will be reflected
in the userlist at the top of the screen.
As soon as you login for the first time, the DWANGO Server will look at the
information you entered for the New User Account you requested. The Server
will inform you if you have been accepted or rejected. For more information,
you can call 1-800-2DWANGO, or 1-800-239-2646. If you are rejected, the
New User panel will come up again for you to re-enter your information. One
reason you could be rejected is by typing a handle or password with a space
character in it.
If you've been accepted, then you're in! You will begin to see text start
scrolling up the screen from the other users online. They are talking to
each other -- feel free to join in. Go ahead and type, "I'm new here!" and
press the ENTER key. Someone will strike up a conversation with you and
maybe ask you to play. Everything you type on the message line will be sent
to the server when you press ENTER. This area is called the Lobby.
If you want to type a message that only one person can read, type their
name, a space, then your message. If you wanted to tell "shadow" that he
really needs a beating, you would type "shadow you really need a beating!".
What shadow would see is,"<your name> TELLs you: you really need a beating!".
If you log onto the server and you're the only one there, but there's a
team already playing and you want to join in, you can send a message to a
person on the team, or to all the people on the team. Just type the name
of a person on the team, or the team name, a space, then your message. An
example would be,"level7 i want to join in!". If the team name is "level7",
everyone on the team would get the message. If they decide to let you in,
then you would see them stop playing their game and start talking to you
in the Lobby.
If someone creates a team, you will see a message stating the team
information. If you want to play on that team, press F3 to Join. This will
bring up a Join Team panel -- use the arrow keys to choose the team you
want to join.
If you want to create a team, press F2 and the Create Team panel will come
up. The most common default options are listed. You can choose whether
this will be a DeathMatch or Cooperative (yeah, right) game, which skill
level to use, if you want monsters on the level (no monsters is the norm),
which map/level and episode you want to play, and the team name. You can
edit any of these options by using the cursor keys to navigate the panel
and press ENTER to change a field. If you want to play a PWAD file, press
the F1 key and choose which PWAD from the list of PWADs that you have. You
must have a WADS subdirectory off the current directory you're in to choose
PWADs.
To create the team, press the F10 key. Soon you will see people joining the
team you created! When you have enough people on your team, press the F10
key to leave the Lobby and launch the game you're going to play (DOOM, DOOM2
or HERETIC).
When you come back from your game, DWANGO will reload the userlist for you,
since some people may have left or joined the server while you were playing.
If you want to change your status from newbie to Normal, you need to enter
Billing. Since this is your first time, select "Set or Change billing
preferences" from the menu. This is where you enter your VISA or Mastercard
credit card number and expiration date. You also need to enter your name
as it appears on the credit card. If you don't have a credit card to buy
time or pay your start-up fee, you need to call 1-800-2DWANGO so they can
work something out with you.
Press the F10 key to process your credit card information. If the server
comes back with Credit Accepted, then you'll see your status change from
newbie to Normal. You are now an offical DWANGO member. Welcome!
Now, you need to buy time so you can play. Prices may change during holidays
so check the Buy Time on your Credit Card option and you will get the latest
prices. You buy time in blocks, from 2 hours of play time up to 25 hours.
Whichever you can afford, use the cursor keys to choose which one you want.
Press the ESC key if you're just browsing. IMPORTANT: your time is used up
ONLY WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING A GAME. Just sitting in the lobby chatting with
others doesn't take away from your time.
