# OPTIONS.TXT Roger Wilco Mark Ia # July 26th 1999 # # This file used to contain some infrequently-used parameters # which modified the behavior of Roger Wilco. As of Mark Ia, it # is no longer used by Roger Wilco. For reference, the Mark Ia # installer backed up your OPTIONS.TXT file (if you were a Mark I user) # in the Backup folder directly beneath the Roger Wilco installation folder # # In the rare case someone would have to modify these # control settings, we have placed them in the registry where they # can be manipulated using the regedit.exe program that is part of Windows. # # All these registry keys should be placed in # HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Resounding\Roger Wilco # if any do not exist there, Roger Wilco will apply the default values outlined below. # Registry Value: mikeclickvolume # default : 100 # # Roger Wilco's Mike Click noise is adjustable by this. 100 is the default reading # and one we feel works fine for most users. Some users, however, may find that this is # too loud or too soft. They can choose other multipliers here (50 is half as loud, # 200 is twice as loud, etc) to achieve the best balance between voice and mike clicks. # Registry Value: gamedata_subscribe # default : 1 # # If you set this to 0, you can disable Roger Wilco's automatic updates of games.txt # By default, your local games.txt file will receive periodic automatic additions # for games we discover need entries in this file to work correctly. # Registry Value: recorddelaymsecs # default : 0 # this specifies a debouncing interval (in milliseconds) after a "key up" event # before Roger Wilco's transmitter actually ends the transmission. If the key # is pressed again before this interval elapses, the transmission will continue. # It can be set to values of 100 or so if your joystick emulates keystrokes poorly # (some generate momentary keyup/keydown pairs) so that everyone does not hear # clicking. It is also helpful to set it to values as high as 300 if you use # Voice Activated mode and you commonly see transmissions stop and restart while # you are speaking. # Registry Value: maxplayvolume # default : 6 # # YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MODIFY THIS -- adjust the Speaker Volume slider on the # Roger Wilco Adjust Tab before trying to adjust this. # # This is a multiplier that sets the range of Roger Wilco's speaker volume slider. # 6 is a good value for this, but players of Fighter Ace may want to increase it # to 8. That would make Roger Wilco's loudest volume that much louder, and help # offset the bug that causes Fighter Ace's game volume slider to actually drive # the system volume, negating its value in turning down the engine noises. # # Roger Wilco Mark Ia adjusted the Speaker Volume slider to increase its # effectiveness at the highest setting, so please try adjusting that control # before changing this value # Registry Value: voicedetectrange # default : 12 # This is a multiplier that sets the range of Roger Wilco's voice activation # sensitivity slider. # 12 is a good value for this. If you use Voice-Activated mode and your mike seems # to trigger too easily even with the slider at the extreme left, try a larger # value (up to 24). # Registry Value: recordCPUboost # default : 1 # # YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MODIFY THIS # # this allows you to specify an incremental processing priority boost # for the portion of Roger Wilco that records and compresses audio. # you might have to increase this to 2 or even 4 if others hear your transmissions # with frequent gaps when you are playing a CPU-intensive game. # To be sure that the problem is not on your partner's playthread, however, # it is best to test with your friend at the desktop with you running the game # while transmitting. That would ensure that your partner's CPU is concentrating # on decompressing and playing your transmission. # Registry Value: playCPUboost # default : 2 # # YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MODIFY THIS # # this allows you to specify an incremental processing priority boost # for the portion of Roger Wilco that decompresses and plays audio. # You might have to increase this to 3 or even 5 if Roger Wilco cannot # play incoming radio traffic when you are in a CPU-intensive game. # To be sure that the problem is not on your partner's recordthread, however, # it is best to test with your friend at the desktop before guessing that # your Roger Wilco is having trouble keeping its playback up to speed.
