How to Submit an Entry for the ACL DH2005 Tourney
To
Export and Save a Trophy
While in the game, go to the
trophy room and find the trophy you want to submit. While viewing the
trophy, click on the export button. On the next screen, you can name the
file what you want to. If you don’t want to change the name, it will be the
type of animal-hunters name-date and time you bagged the animal, e.g.
WTNT_DHRifleman_10_14_2005_23_07, which would be a Whitetail, Non-Typical
deer that was bagged by DHRifleman on 10/14/05 at 11:07 p.m. Remember the
date and the time that shows will be your local time, and not necessarily Eastern
Time, which is what ACL goes by. Just because the trophy says it was bagged
before the date and time the entry is due by, the entry still needs to be in
by the deadline.
How to Take a Screen
Shot and
Find it in DH2005
You can take a screenshot in DH2005 while hunting on a
map or in the trophy room. All you need to do is hit the F10 key on the
keyboard, and it will take a screen shot of whatever you see on the screen.
The screen shots will be saved in the C:\Program
Files\Atari\Deer Hunter 2005\Game\Screen shots folder. They will be in JPG
format so when emailing them they don’t need to be zipped because they are
already compressed.
To Send in an Entry
You will
find the saved exported file in C:\Program Files\Atari\Deer Hunter
2005\Game\Trophies folder, if you installed the game to the default
location. To send in an entry, write an email to
honeywest,
put “Your
Hunter Name DH2005 Entry” in the subject box and attach the saved
exported file, and the saved screen shot from the trophy room.
How to Download and Install Custom Maps
in DH2005
First, download the maps to a location
you can find later (desktop is always good). If the maps have an SPK
file extension, then they are in the correct format to be put right into
the game. If they are zipped, then you need to unzip* them first before
putting them into the game. The maps go into the C:\Program
files\Atari\Deer Hunter 2005\ Game\Customlevels folder. *Go to
www.winzip.com to get the
free WinZip download.
How to Change the Name of a Newly
Created Weapon
First, click on New in the weapons
creation screen. Next, select the way you want your weapon set up (type
of weapon, scope, bullet, etc.). Then, double click on the name of the
weapon (New Weapon 1, New Weapon 2, etc.). You will get a flashing
cursor at the front of the name. Use the delete key to clear the name
and then type in the name you want. Then, hit the enter key. If you
don’t hit the enter key, the name will revert back to "New Weapon" when
you go to the selection screen.
How Do I Get the Office Web Components to View the Spreadsheets at ACL?
Print this page so you can look at it as
you do the downloads. Please read through this whole thing once before
proceeding.
This is the link to the first file you need:
http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2002/owc10.aspx
On the page you come to, scroll down to
where you see “Download MDAC 2.5 SP1 (2.51.5303.5).” Click on that and
download it to where you can find it, the desktop is a good place. Once it
is downloaded, click on it and it will install the first file you need. (If
you are using Windows ME you may already have MDAC 2.5). After you download
and install the first file “mdac.exe”, look at this page again and click on this
link:
http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2002/owc10.aspx
Near the top you will see “download”,
click on that and it will download the Office Web Components. Again,
download to where you can find it, and once the download is complete, click
on the file “owc10.exe”, that will install the Office Web Components.
Set Up a Router and a Firewall for Online Hunting in
DH2005
To
Host
If you
have a router, you will need to put the PC that you are using to host your
hunt into the DMZ of the router. Depending on the router, you have to
view the help files for the router to know how to do this. Putting your
PC into the DMZ will make your computer exposed to the internet as if the
router wasn’t there. You will have no hardware firewall protecting you
at this time. If you also run a software firewall like Norton, you will
need to put the IP’s of those that will be joining your hunt into safe zones. You will also have to configure the firewall to permit all for DH2005.exe
and Aphex.exe (Gamespy). After doing the above, you should be able to
host an MP game.
To
Join
To join a
Gamespy hunt, you will need to configure your software firewall as above to permit
all for DH2005.exe and Aphex.exe (Gamespy), but you should not need the IP of
the game you are joining. If you are running through a router, you can
forward the ports to the PC you will be joining with that the Gamespy and
DH2005 servers use. You should not need to put the PC into the DMZ of
the router for this. The ports used are:
