                              The Trainer

INTRO :

  Welcome to the Trainer.What is a trainer exactly?Well the way I see it most
 cheats are basically save game editors that make permenant changes to your
 program.Usually the save games.A trainer is a TSR program that loads up the
 main program and hides in the background.It is activated by specific hotkeys
 selected by the user while the game is running.All the changes are made
 to memory as selected by the user.Some changes will stay when you save the game
 because stats in memory have been modified.Other changes are to code itself to
 produce a desired trainer effect.I.E. Unlimited lives,time,magic etc.No more
 going back to the editor program to boost up your stats.Do it all while the
 game is running.

  This Is a Trainer for Ultima Underworld II.With it you can get through the
 game a little easier or ALOT easier all Depending on what functions you select.
 You can train all of you player stats and give your self unlimited Mana and
 Vitality.Much of the game is still in your hands but this makes progress in the
 game more hassle free.

  I made this for me and some pals after I bought the game a while ago but have
 since decide (and been convinced) to release it as Sharware for more people to
 enjoy.It is also my hope that I can obtain user support to do future projects
 and to make time for them through user donations.

  This package contains the following files:

  UW2TRNS.COM - The Trainer TSR/Loader
  UW2TRNS.NFO - This Information File

The TRAINER :

  Real simple....run the trainer (UW2TRN.COM) and it loads the game.All trainer
 functions are activated in run-time via the number keys on the NUMBER PAD.For
 this reason they are labeled N1 through N9 here in this NFO file and in the
 loader intro.When you press a key you will get audible feedback from the PC
 Speaker letting you know the function has been selected and activated.Also
 the arrow keys activate the corresponding functions on the number pad (Left
 Arrow - 4,Right Arrow - 6,Up Arrow - 8 and Down Arrow 2.)This is becuase the
 Hex values returned when these keys are pressed are identical.All nine Number
 Keys on the Number Pads are utilized (see below).

  Okay here' a quick lowdown on the controls,what they do and any quirks they
 may cause....

 N1 - Sets STR,INT and DEX to 255.What could be simpler?

 N2 - Max's your skills to 255 with the exception of swimming.I originally had
      them all set to 255 but for some reason if your swimming ability is over
      60 you will drown.For this reason it is left at 60.Also the number 255
      is the maximum it will display.It doesn't seem to be the actual maximum
      the game considers.It's more like 60.I have not found it to hurt anything
      except as mentioned above for swimming.

 N3 - This sets the player's Level to 255.Again this isn't really something
      you would get in the nomal course of playing the game but it looks real
      nice and you don't have to worry about it again.

 N4 - This function will train your Mana and Vitality to 255.(Maximum and
      Minimum).After this is selected the trainer constantly refreshes these
      values so they never decrease.Basically this makes you invunerable (you
      ARE damaged but the trainer keeps refreshing it to 255 so it makes no
      difference.) and gives you unlimited MANA (again Mana is subtracted but
      the trainer updates it so quickly it almost never registers.).NOTE * From
      timt to time the game reset some variables and the NUMERICAL value for
      Current Mana will drop to 1 or 0.Do not worry.It's only displayed.Click
      on the flask and you will see it is 255. *

 N5 - Anybody hungry?Well if your character is just hit this and he will be
      STUFFED.No need to worry bout hitting the supermarket before adventuring
      anymore.(well you still need to get the new TV GUIDE right?)

 N6 - Can't keep your eyes open during those long hauls in the deep dungeons.
      This will make your character Wide Awake again.Of ourse this is just to
      eliminate the annoyance of sleeping.Be sure to catnap from time to time
      so you can experience the various dream sequences in the game that may
      help you in your adventure.

 N7 - This function will train the player's encumberance and load factors.What
      it does is it makes the total weight of what you are carrying and makes it
      Zero.It also boosts the Maximum Encumberance factor up to 3265 or so.That
      is the Maximum allowable by the game.There are a few quirks to this so use
      this with caution.
       First off it may be the trainer itself or this specific function but when
      you are swimming you will progress forward quickly in the water then come
      to a stop as if you have hit a wall.You cannot go forward unless you back
      up a little then surge forward again.You can still travel left,right and
      back.This is a bug I have learned to live with.There is little water in
      the game and you can get around with practice by surging or just traveling
      sideways and backwards.Not too difficult to master and not a bad trade off
      for the increased carrying capacity.
       Second from time to time when you either save a game and return to action
      or when traveling from one level to another the game slows your speed
      WAY down.It acts as if you have a HUGE load.Try activating this function
      again to zero out your load.
       For this reason the Encumberance trainer,once activated,constantly
      refreshes the values in memory to cut down on this problem.If it still
      you can go inhto your options and turn EVERYTHING OFF.Return to the game
      and if it is normal set them back ON.This works for me.If all fails simply
      quit and start again.That ALWAYS works but is a pain.
       I am trying to fix these bugs but have a feeling they may be associated
      with internal game quirks.It is a minor annoyance that I will try to
      fix if it happens to enough people.Try the above remedies.

 N8 - This will give you 255 skill points.Simple....

 N9 - This trains the player experience to 10,066,329.(who said round numbers
      were nice?).Obviously again this figure is HUGELY inflated but you won't
      ever have to worry about it in the course of the game.When used in with
      the Level,Skill Point,Stats trainers you won't have to go see anyone for
      training or improvements ever again.


NOTES :

  Almost all of the trainer functions will appear to have done nothing when
 activated on the Character or Encumberance display screens.Don't panic.The
 changes HAVE been made but you need to refresh the screen display for them to
 be visually updated.Just exit that screen and return to it to view the changes.
 The best way is to select the Options menu and then Return to the game.The
 changes will be visually updated.

  This Trainer has been Beta tested under various system configurations and game
 /system options.I can't possible test every possible combination so if anything
 does not work please notify me.Include what happened as exact as you can be and
 your complete system hardware/software configuration.I'll be happy to fix what
 I can.I can be reached on Prodigy ID BGRB28C David Jury and on Compuserve
 under Neil J Jury 17052,1742.

SHARWARE NOTE :

  I've been writing these for some time but up till now have only given them
 out to some friends.I'd like to have many more people enjoy this and this is
 why I am spreading these.I also need support to continue being able to work on
 these products.Software isn't cheap these days and with support I can obtain
 a broader range of titles to release products for.Also time spent figuring out
 the game and how to code the trainer properly(not to mention Beta Testing) are
 precious quantities I have little of.

  With support from users I can make more time and put more effort into these
 projects.I'll be more able to answer questions from users,take suggestions,
 add new features,and fix/trouble-shoot bugs.Along with releasing more and more
 quality Trainers for your favorite titles.

  I am accepting $5-$10 donations to assist in my work.Send donations,questions,
 comments etc to :

                       (this is a shared account)
(also with your support I will be available and distributing on other Networks)

  In addition to this I have written trainers for the following titles:

 Magic Pockets                           Ancient Art of War in the Skies
 DinoBalls                               Might and Magic IV : Clouds of XEEN

 Blades of Destiny                       Castles II
 Terminator 2029                         Waxworks

  I am currently converting these to the newer Trainer Engine that is run here
 on the Ultima Underworlds II Trainer.They will be made available ASAP.I intend
 to release them the same way : Shareware.All this is in hopes that I can obtain
 support to continue convertions and update the old ones,purchase the newest
 titles to work on for you the user and do the best possible job I can.Without
 the help of users I may not be able to support these products release into the
 general public nor be able to keep up support of existing products.

   Again I ENCOURAGE the distribution of this product.Feel free to send it out
  as long as the original format has not been altered in ANY way.I want as many
  people as possible to enjoy this and give them help as they need it.

  Thank you for using this product and with support it will not be the LAST!
