- DOCUMENTATION FILE FOR SWEASY VER 1.0
-
- SWEASY is a utility for SUBWAR 2050 which lets you load LARGE amounts of weapons
- onto your fighter sub. It does this by altering the primary game executable,
- SW.EXE. BACKUP YOUR COPY OF SW.EXE PRIOR TO RUNNING SWEASY! All SWEASY changes
- are irreversible, so use the backup to restore the game to its original setup.
-
- SWEASY lets you load larger-than-normal weapon amounts by altering the SUBWAR
- 2050 internal weapon description structures. SUBWAR 2050 limits your weapon
- loads based on the WEIGHT of the weapon. For example, a torpedo weighs about
- 620 pounds. For the Tornado sub, you are limited to a gross weight of 9800
- pounds. Obviously, it doesn't take a lot of torpedoes to reach the 9800 pound
- weight limit! SWEASY ALTERS THE INTERNAL WEAPON STRUCTURES BY MAKING ALL OF
- THE WEAPONS WEIGH ABOUT 1 POUND EACH. You won't have an unlimited supply of
- weapons, but you can sure load a lot! In the game, load your weapons in the
- usual manner -- go to the "Configure Sub" area and select the weapon loadout.
- Notice that as you choose more torpedoes, rockets, etc. that your vehicle weight
- goes up by 1 pound with each new weapon.
-
- To install, put SWEASY.EXE into the same hard drive area where SUBWAR 2050 is
- installed. This version of SWEASY supports both the ENGLISH and GERMAN versions
- of SUBWAR 2050 (thanks to Hans from Germany who provided me with a German
- version of SW.EXE). You MUST tell SWEASY which language version you want by
- specifying "ENGLISH" or "GERMAN" on the command line. To run SWEASY for the
- ENGLISH version of SUBWAR 2050, enter "sweasy ENGLISH". For German, enter
- "sweasy GERMAN". BE SURE TO ENTER THE LANGUAGE STRING IN UPPER CASE LETTERS
- ONLY! Enter "sweasy ?" for a help screen.
-
- Once running, SWEASY will do a quick validity check on your SW.EXE file to make
- sure it will be altering an ORIGINAL, UNALTERED version of SW.EXE. If it detects
- any alterations, it will ABORT. I don't like to take chances by altering
- unexpected or invalidated data! SWEASY will tell you the results of its
- alterations.
-
- I wrote SWEASY due to the large amount of e-mail and CompuServe mail I received
- from users of my other programs (SCEASY, RAEASY, PREASY, PREDIT, etc.) who were
- desperately stuck on SUBWAR 2050. This version of SWEASY is my first SUBWAR
- 2050 routine and I still consider it a BETA version, therefore, if you have
- any problems that you believe are caused by SWEASY, please call, write, or
- whatever -- just let me know what your SUBWAR 2050 problem is -- PLEASE!
-
- If you have any ideas for a "new, improved SWEASY", let me know and I'll
- work on it!
