- Hello all you hackers out there. This is Maxwell your friendly neighborhood
- editor writer. If you have any requests please let me know about them I love
- writing these things. Also if you have any problems with my programs please
- let me know as well. About the only people that use these programs until now
- was a handful of my friends. I think it is great that people from all over the
- country will be downloading these programs. Anyway the reason that i am writing
- this little letter is because the latest program that i would like to upload
- is not as user friendly as i would like it to be. It is also a little flaky.
- Anyway lets get to it. I have written a couple of programs that assist you
- in doing well in the game rogue.
-
- 1. ROGUEFIX.TTP - this program will boost your mace to +255 +255 and give you
- 9 food, but there are a couple things you have to do first.
- The first thing to do is start the game as normal. Then as
- soon as the game starts go over to your pack and single
- click your mace. A box will open and allow you to type a
- desc. of your mace. Type "mace" in lower case just as i
- have here and hit return. Then go over to your food and
- single click it as well. This time type in "food" in lower
- case and hit return. Thats it. Now save the game. After
- your back to desktop insert the disk with this program and
- double click this program. When the box opens up,cause this
- is a ttp file, type in the name of your save game. Make
- sure you include the device type and the .sav at the end.
- You should type something like this,"a:maxwell.sav".
- The program will load and ask you to insert the disk
- with the save game. Insert the disk in the proper drive
- and hit a key. The program will tell you what its doing.
- If the program tells you it cannot find your food or mace
- you may have to repeat the above steps. This program is
- very flaky and sometimes does not work, but if it does you
- are going to have one fun game. Oh yea, here are a few hints
- to increase the programs chances of working. After you make
- the mod to your save game. Go back to rogue and load
- the save game as normal. BEFORE you do anything go over
- to your pack and just click it open. I have had problems
- when i dont do this. And if it does not work you will know
- it. You will get about 3 bombs, the screen will turn blue
- and it will shoot you back to desktop. If this happens
- dont worry just try again. Also if you are going to
- try this on a game in progress i suggest that you make
- a backup copy of the same game before you run this program.
- Well please dont get mad at me if this thing does not work
- right, is has nine times out of ten for me, so i think you
- should not have any problems.
-
- 2. REDIT3.TTP - Wow, I did not realize that there was that much to say on
- the program previous to this one. Hopefully i can get away
- with fewer words in explaining this one. This program is
- not as bad as the one above. But there are a few things that
- you have to be careful of. This program allows you to edit
- your existing inventory. But before you run out and jump
- for joy you have to be very carful not to blow your inventory.
- Hmmmm...i dont even know where to start...ok insert the
- disk with this program on it and double click the file.
- When the box opens this time you just type in your characters
- name. The program will add the A: and the .sav.
- For example in this case i would just type "maxwell"
- instead of "a:maxwell.sav". When the
- program loads insert the disk with the save game on it and
- hit a key. A menu will appear with the various items that you
- can edit. Ok the rest it straight forward just follow the menu.
- Ok now for the things to watch out for. The program will show
- you what you accually have in your inventory. If you have a lot
- of things in your inventory that you have not identified you
- might have a hard time of it. The program will not list the
- potions as a blue one or a red one or whatever. It will list
- them as a potion of healing or whatever. So if you have not
- identified any of your potions you will know that you have
- potion of healing but you will not know which one it is.
- Ok, next thing, the program will allow you to change things
- that are already in your inventory not add things to it.
- For example if you have a ring of monster aggrevation
- you can turn it into a ring of regeneration. and so on.
- Next on the watch out list and probably the most important
- thing. When changing an item the program will also ask you
- how many of that item you want. DO NOT get carried away
- and type in something like 255. You inventory will probably
- explode. The best thing to do is just type in the number
- of the item you changed. For example if the program
- tells you that you have 2 potions of poison and you change
- it to a potion of healing, when the computer asks you how many
- you want you should type in 2. Now to explain the bug that
- i cannot get rid of no matter how hard i try. When the computer
- lists the items in your inventory you may notice some items
- that you dont have. Now in the case of the wands, rings, and
- scrolls you may not have it. But that scroll or whatever
- is somewhere on that level. For example if the program tells
- you that you have a ring of searching and you sit back and
- scratch your head and say "I don't have a ring of searching."
- Your right you dont BUT that ring is there somewhere on that
- level. Same goes with the scrolls and wands. The potions
- are a different story for some reason the stupid thing lists
- stuff like 24 potions of poison. and you know you dont have
- that many and there is no way there are that many in one pile.
- So be very very very very careful when editing potions. If you
- know there is no way that there can be that many leave it
- alone. The problem shows up more and more the farther you get
- in the game. The first couple of times you run the program
- it probably will not show up. As i said with the program above
- you should BACKUP your save game BEFORE you run this program.
- Also as i said above as soon as you reload the save game that
- you have modified go over to your pack and make that window
- the active window. Well that is all i can think of. i hope
- i have covered everything. These programs where not done with
- the average user in mind so please forgive me i am working
- on makeing my programs more user friendly. Oh yea, and when
- you edit the wands the program will raise every wand you change
- to 99 charges.
-
- Wow my arm is hurting from all this typing. Anyway if you have any problems
- with these programs or any others i have written please let me know. Shoot
- me some email to T.CILLO or write me a letter i would love to here from you
