-==== Linux ====+===== Emulator Settings =====
  
-== Installing mednafen ==+By default, the game will be shown at a 3x scale, or about a 960 by 720 pixel window. You can easily change the window size, and a few other settings like emulator sound volume, by double clicking ''​Game Settings''​ file.
  
-Our netplay pack uses a custom mednafen build, for additional Quality of Life additions and changes to the netplay experience, so you will have to build from source yourself. If you are on Ubuntu, you can compile our custom mednafen build with this script, as well as download the pack and unpack everything into ''​~/​.diginetplay''​ automatically,​ and give you ''​.sh''​ scripts to open the game and anything else offered in the netplay pack (Ex: Watching Replays) at ''​~/​Desktop/​Digimon Tamers - Netplay Evolution''​.+===== Controller Setup =====
  
-<file sh batevo_netplay_install.sh> +You can play using a controller, or your keyboardIf you use a controller, be sure to plug in your controller before opening ​the game!

-</​file>​+
  
-For other distros, check with the [[https://​mednafen.github.io/​releases/​|mednafen releases page]] for which dependencies you need installed, and change the script as needed to get the right packages with your system'​s package manager. Once you have built mednafen, you should be able to run ''​~/​.diginetplay/​batevomednafen/​src/​mednafen''​ (or ''​~/​.diginetplay/​mednafen''​ if the file has been moved already), and get the output ''​Starting Mednafen BatEvoNetplayV3.0''​ on the first line of output. The script does not install mednafen to ''/​usr/​bin''​ or anywhere else your system would usually check for executables,​ in case you already have vanilla mednafen installed, but you can install it there if you'd like. You'll just need to modify the ''​.sh''​ files on your Desktop accordingly. Likewiseyour mednafen base directory doesn't need to be ''​~/​.diginetplay'', ​nor do you need to store your game files in there. ​+Open the game by double clicking on ''​Play Digimon Rumble Arena (US)''​ or ''​Play Digimon Tamers Battle Evolution (US Proto)''​. ​Nowpress ''​Alt + Shift + 1'',​ to map your buttons ​
  
-===== Binding Controls (One Time Setup) =====+{{ batevo:​netplay_map_controller.mp4}}
  
-Make sure you have your controller plugged in (if you are going to use one) before opening the game, then open the game up. Once mednafen opens, press T. A chat box should appear.  +Here is a list of buttons and their actions:

-Now, press Alt + Shift + 1 to configure your controls. A prompt will show up at the bottom saying ''​Digital Gamepad 1 UP ↑ (1)''​. Press which button on your keyboard or controller you want to map up on the dpad to, and it should change to ''​Digital Gamepad 1 UP ↑ (2)''​. Press that button again to confirm. Rinse and repeat for all of the button on the PS1 controller. When prompted about turbo buttons, you can map them all to a single button or keyboard key that is out of your way. Here is a list of buttons and their actions ​to know when mapping your buttons:+

-You can use VS CPU to test your controls and see if you like them. +===== Playing Netplay =====
  
-Next, press T and type the command ''/​connect ny.yuribacon.com''​. You should connect to the netplay server. If you are able to connect, you can now run ''/​nick //​name//''​ to change the name you appear as while in netplay, and the server should tell you that ''​You are now know as <//​name//>​.''​ You can then press T and run ''/​quit''​ to disconnect from the server.  +{{ batevo:​mednafen_netplay.mp4}}
- +
-===== Playing Netplay =====+
  
 Playing netplay is simple: Playing netplay is simple:
 +  - Enter a gamekey/​lobby code with ''/​gamekey //​password//''​ or just ''/​gamekey''​ to clear the password that was set
 +  - Join a netplay Server with ''/​connect //server name//''​
 +  - Leave the server with ''/​quit''​ or press ''​esc''​ to close the emulator completely ​
  
-First, you can set a password so that you only can connect with other people using the same password as you, allowing you to make a "​private lobby" on the server you join. Before you join netplay, just press T and enter ''/​password //​password//''​ and press enter. Replace //​password//​ with whatever you want (Ex: __stream__, __password01__,​ __gamekey__,​ __coolname__,​ __tacos__). For an easy suggestion, use your name and the name of the person your playing with. For example: ''/​password yuritoto''​. If you use just ''/​password'',​ you will clear your password and join netplay without one, and play in the "​public lobby" of that server. Note: Passwords used to be known as "​gamekey"​s,​ so you might hear some people still use that term instead of password. +You'll need to run a few commands in the netplay ​chat barwhich you can bring up by pressing ​''​T''​ on your keyboard.
- +
-Once you have a password set (or cleared), ​run ''/​connect //​server//''​. Replace //server// with the URL of any netplay server. You can find list of public netplay server further down this page. If one or both of you have a bad connection to a server, try a different one. +
- +
-===== Replays ===== +
- +
-As of Stable 3.0, the netplay ​pack now automatically starts recording a replay every time you join netplayand saves the replay when you leave netplay or close the emulator (just don't close your Command Prompt/​terminal window directly! Close the mednafen window). These replays are automatically moved to the ''​replays'' folder, for easy access to archive and share them online. If you want to watch them however, you can double click on either ''​Watch Replay.bat''​ or ''​Watch Replay.sh''​. A Command Prompt/​terminal window will appear asking you for what version you want to watch a replay from (US or JP), then from what day & time you'd like to watch a replay from. Those replays will then be moved back into the emulator folder, and the game will be opened for you. To watch a replay, press Shift + #, where # is 0-9 at the top of your keyboard ​(not the number pad) to pick a replay slotThe first time you joined netplay will be in slot 0, and every time after you joined netplay without closing an emulator will be in slot 1, then 2, and so on. If you joined netplay more than 10 times without closing the game, your replay *did* get saved, but mednafen only can select up to the first 10, so you will sadly have to rename some files yourself to access them. Once you have selected a slot, you can then press Shift + F7 to start watching. Sadly, you cannot skip past anything or rewind, and the replay will include time spent on the Character Select, but you can press the ` key to speed up your emulator past these sections.  +
- +
-===== Gameshark Cheats ===== +
- +
-{{ batevo:​cheats_reference.png?​500}} +
- +
-As of Stable 2.0, the netplay pack now includes support for gameshark codes for added quality of life features and gameplay enhancements. Here is a list of the currently included codes (for a complete list of gameshark codes for this game, and how to use them, see [[batevo:​cheats|Quality of Life and Gameplay Altering Cheat Codes]]):+

-== North Asia ==+This setting affects stage hazards, such as the crane on Recycling that drops off boxes, or the boulders that roll out of the cave on Wilderness. **No** is the default.
  
-| Server | Location | Administrator | +  * **Yes**: All stages remain completely unchanged
-^ gs.emu-land.net | Moscow, Russia | Host Unknown | +  * **No**: Stages are modified to disable hazards.
-^ emu-russia.net | ?, Russia | Host Unknown |+
  
-== Oceania ==+When hazards are disabled, the following changes are made 
 +  * Garbage Recycling Center 
 +    * The claw that grabs and drops off boxes has been frozen in place, preventing boxes from spawning, and the stage from opening up. 
 +    * The moving platforms have been made stationary, for consistency in respawn combos. 
 +    * Teleporter has been permanently turned off. 
 +  * Wilderness 
 +    * Boulders, big and small, no longer spawn. 
 +  * Revolution 
 +    * The stage no longer rotates at random intervals. 
 +  * Sanctuary 
 +    * The "​storm"​ hazard no longer occurs. 
 +    * The lighting boxes still move around the stage as normal, however. 
 +    * At the start of every round, there is a 10% chance that the sky will be dark. 
 +  * Glacier 
 +    * The side platforms that break off have been made invincible, so they do not break off. 
 +    * The falling icicles no longer spawn. 
 +    * Falling speed has been greatly increased after hitting the icy water, so respawn combos require more strict movement and/or positioning to perform. 
 +  * Volcano 
 +    * Lava no longer erupts from the lower parts of the stage. 
 +    * The "​drowning"​ in lava effect has been removed, greatly reducing damage taken for falling off stage, as well as speeding up respawns.
  
-| Server | Location | Administrator | +==== Items ====
-^ aus.yuribacon.com | Sydney, Australia | Yuri Bacon |+
  
-== South America ==+This setting affects item spawning during gameplay. **No** is the default.
  
-| Server | Location | Administrator | +  * **Yes**: Items spawning is unaffected. 
-^ repog.ddns.net | São Paulo, Brazil | Host Unknown |+  * **No**: Items no longer spawn.
  
-===== Misc. =====+==== Menu Music ====
  
-== Ping Tests ==+Hidden away under "​controller setup" is this setting, which changes if the game plays music when in various menus. **Yes** is the default.
  
-You can find premade script files for ping testing mednafen netplay servers [[https://​yuribacon.com/​digidownloads/​pingtest/​|here]]. To run a ping test, just download a script for your OS and region, and then run it. The lower your ping is to a netplay server, the less input delay you will have and the better the game will feel to play for youBut watch out! You may not want to always play on the server you have the lowest ping to, because your opponent could have a very high ping to that server! You want to play on a server you both have as close to equal ping on as possible, while still picking a server you both have as low of a ping to as possible. Averaging both of your pings to each server and picking the lowest is the best way to pick a server, usually, but picking one half way between each of you geographically generally works fine.+  * **Yes**Menus have music. 
 +  * **No**: Menus don'​t ​have music.
  
-== Basic Training ​==+==== Menu Commands ====
  
-If you want to do some basic trainingbut either ​can't or don't want to set up [[batevo:training_mode|the training mode lua script]], then here are a few pointers:+  * **Random Character**:​ On the character select screen, ​you can press Start to get a random character. 
 +  * **Random Stage**: On the stage select screenyou can press Start to get a random stage. 
 +  * **Alternate Skin**: At the map selection screen, press select to get your Digimon's alternate colors. You'll hear a sound effect and see your tamer brighten ​up. You can return to normal colors by pressing select again. 
 +  * **Play Mirror Matches**To pick the same character as your opponent after they have already selected their character, just hold Select, then choose the same character. This was always part of the game actually, and isn't exclusive to the netplay pack. They just couldn'​t be bothered to put it in the manual, I guess. 
 +  * **Alternate Tamer**Some, but not all, characters have alternate tamers that can be selected by holding L1 or R1 while selecting your Digimon. You can see your alternate tamer on the stage select, and in game when you digivolve. This is also part of the original game, and not exclusive to the netplay pack.
  
-  * You can remap functions like saving and loading states, emulator speedup, frame step, and other stuff to where ever you would like them, including on the controller. Just press F2, then the default button for what you'd like to remap. You can them remap it like you would for your controller bindings. Pro tip: You can actually press one button, then press another to bind anything to 2 or more buttons! Just repeat the last key you press to finish mapping. +===== Old Versions =====
-  * By default, you can use 0-9 keys at the top of the keyboard to select save state slots, and use F5 to save state, and F7 to load state.  +
-  * By default, you can use Alt + A to pause the emulator, and then advance the game one "​frame"​ at a time. "​Frame"​ is in quotes, as mednafen will advance 1/60th of a second (60Hz), when the game runs at a frame rate of 30fps (30Hz), so you will have to press Alt + A twice to advance one frame in the game.  +
-  * You can use Alt + Shift + 2 to map the P2 controls to test opponent actions. Mapping to the keyboard is always a good choice if you don't have a second controller (or find that awkward). ​+
  
-== Editing Mednafen'​s Config File ==+Looking for an older version? You can get them here, but they are no longer supported. They are kept around, mostly for the sake of viewing old replays, or if you want to toy with old features that have since been removed.
  
-A handful of mednafen'​s most essential settings can now be configured with an included tool. Just run ''​Game Settings.bat''​ or ''​Game Settings.sh''​ and you will be able to change window size, game volume, scanlines, and some other things. For other settings, you can check out the [[https://mednafen.github.io/documentation/#​Section_config_files|mednafen documentation page]] for more information.+[[https://yuribacon.com/digidownloads/DRA%20NP%20S3.1%20Win.zip|Stable 3.1 (includes Stable 3.0)]]
