--- Setting it up ---

The prefs.ini file is a simple 3 line text file which is the same as the one used in the RPG minapp.

It's syntax is as follows:

<driver to use>
<x resolution>
<y resolution>

Driver settings can be as follows...
G (for glide)

S (for software)

( (for Direct3D).

Tested Resolutions are...	Try #1	Try #2
X Resolution	640	800
Y Resolution	480	600

Resolutions will work with whatever Genesis can handle, those are the only settings I've tried however, and I do not know what else Genesis can handle.

Directory structure should be as follows

C:\ProjectX

- Everything from the .zip

- D3DDrv.dll GBSPLib.dll Genesis.dll GlideDrv.dll SoftDrv.dll Softdrv2.dll should be copied over from C:\Genesis3D\.

C:\ProjectX\lib

- genesis.lib genesisd.lib genesisi.lib should be copied over from the C:\Genesis3D\lib directory.

C:\ProjectX\levels

- genvs.3dt and genvs.bsp should be copied over from the C:\Genesis3D\levels directory.

C:\ProjectX\include

- All the files in the C:\Genesis3D\include directory should be copied over.

C:\ProjectX\actors

- dema.act should be copied over from the C:\Genesis3D\Actors directory.

And finally, use the provided ProjectX.dsw when loading the source code!!! It contains workspace settings and compiler directives otherwise not set. If you don't use it, the code will NOT compile, well actually it'll compile, but it will not LINK! I forgot to mention this the first time but after hoards of e-mail it becomes apparent that I need to mention it now. Thanks guys, have fun with it!
