Hi, I have a question about the entries on the n3.ini file. The readme documents very well the settings but, miine have a couple that are not documented: CPU and SOUND. Do someone knows what they mean? Thanks, Brain

I think those settings are put in the ini file when N3 is installing and it checks your CPU and sound card. On my P2-450 with Sound Blaster Live, it reads: RAST 1 SND 1 CPU 2 I don't know what the RAST is... -Paul My reply address is false. Please post replies to this news group.

On my P2-450 with Sound Blaster Live, it reads: RAST 1 SND 1 CPU 2 I don't know what the RAST is... 3D rasterizer. Rik Anthrax - - "trust the government?? what are you, some kind of moron?"

The following three lines are written to the N3.INI based on the selections you make during the game's installation: RAST X SND X CPU X Where: RAST 0 = Software RAST 1 = Glide RAST 2 = Direct3D SND 0 = 8-bit sound SND 1 = 16-bit sound CPU 0 = P200 or lower CPU 1 = P200 to P2-400 CPU 2 = P2-400 or better The CPU option is used the set the default graphic details and intro movie quality. The others should be self explanatory. Eric

Those values are only used the first time the game is loaded, afterwards the values written out by the game to the options.cfg take priority.

According to the readme: Some users with an add-on 3D card (such as a Voodoo1 or Voodoo2) may prefer to use their primary display adapter for Direct3D. By adding a raster_device variable to the N3.INI, you may select between primary (0) and secondary (1) D3D devices: RASTER_DEVICE n /petern
