Digital Deadwood - In-Game Help

Q: Okay, I'm logged in and I can see three doorways and my avatar. Now what?
A: Click on the platform to walk around. When you move your mouse over the signs above the doorways, they will highlight yellow. Click on it to get a box with historic information, then click the blue link at the top to go to either Mount Moriah, Main Street or the Gem Theatre Shootout. Once you get to the street, click on one of the four colour bars on the edges of the screen (each labeled with a direction) to move around town. North and south move you up and down Main Street, while east and west will take you down a side street or into a building (if available). You can also use the MAP button (on the compass icon at the bottom of your screen) to warp to any location in Digital Deadwood.

Q: How do I get to the other side of the street? Is that what the FLIP button is for?
A: Yes! The compass icon in the lower-middle part of the screen has two parts. The top part is the MAP button, which will bring up the map window and allow you to warp anywhere in Digital Deadwood - including the other side of the street. However, the lower part of the compass is the FLIP button, which will flip your angle and make the other side of the street visible. Just click it to see the buildings across from you.

Q: How do I chat?
A: You can only chat if you are a registered user. Click your mouse in the text box at the bottom of the screen marked "Type here and press ENTER." The whole line will highlight. Now type in whatever you want to say (some HTML code will work). When you're done, hit the 'enter' key. If you want to repeat what you just said, simply hit the 'enter' key again. If you want to say something else, just start typing! If you don't want to see what everyone else is saying, turn off the chat feature by un-ticking the box marked "CHAT."

Q: Where is everyone?
A: There are more than 1900 registered Digital Deadwood users to chat with. Right now, you're most likely to see them in the Silverado Casino (where the only slot machine and blackjack games are), and probably after 3 PM Mountain Daylight Time. If you don't see anyone around when you log on, just wait a few minutes - someone is bound to show up! In the meantime, you can interact with some of the NPCs (non-player characters) scattered throughout town. Try talking to Potato Creek Johnny, Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Silver A. Doe or the Bartender.

Q: How do I get inside the buildings?
A: For the moment, you can only enter the Silverado Gaming Establishment, the Old Style Saloon #10 and an abandoned building on lower Main Street; simply click the yellow box that appears when you move the mouse over the doorway or walk over the "Go Inside" icon in front of the door. Other Deadwood establishments are coming soon, including the Broken Boot Gold Mine and the First Gold! We'll be sure to post new Digital Deadwood partners on our news page to keep you up-to-date.

Q: My computer keeps freezing up. Is this a problem with your site or my computer?
A: We've been testing Digital Deadwood on upwards of a dozen different platform/browser configurations, and none of them consistently lock up. If Digital Deadwood isn't the only site or program that crashes your computer, it could be that your system is cluttered with startup programs (virus scanners, system utilities, file-sharing programs and the like) that hog memory. A hard drive too full of music, image, and video files can also cause your system to become unstable. If this doesn't apply to you and you're still having problems, contact us at info@digitaldeadwood.com and let us know what platform, processor, operating system, Internet connection and browser you are using.
