- Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games Utilities
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The History:
-
- I originally wrote a small utility for the first Jagged Alliance a year or so
- ago, called Qheal, for quick heal. It healed all the mercs in the quick save
- file. While using did it sorta unbalance game play, it did have it's uses,
- and was very very popular, bringing me email from all over the world.
-
- Anyway, as soon as DG came out, I was deluged by requests to write a new one.
- Well, not exactly deluged, but a couple people sent me requests. One, the
- guy at AOL that verified it when i uploaded the first qheal. I also ran into
- Henry Chang, who was looking for someone to write an editor, and gave me most
- the info I needed to update qheal.
-
- And thanks to Mr. Chang, here is qheal2, along with another program, jagmax,
- which maxs out the merc's stats to 100, and medic!, a program that just
- treats your mercs wounds , but doesn't heal damage.
-
-
- The programs:
-
- There are three programs. Qheal2.exe, Jagmax.exe, and Medic!.exe
-
- Just put them into the same directory where Jagged Alliance Deadly Games is.
- Usually it's just \Deadly
-
-
-
- Qheal2.exe
- ----------------
-
- This programs heals your mercenaries wounds. Very handy. If only it were as
- easy in real life.
-
- To run, save your game in the first slot, and then goto dos (either exit the
- program or flip to a dos prompt under Win 95 or OS/2 or Linux or whatever)
- and type qheal2. Your mercs in save game slot number zero (the first one)
- have now been healed
-
-
- Jagmax.exe
- -----------------
-
- It works the same exact way qheal2.exe does. Only, it maxes our your mercs
- stats to 100
-
- Medic!.exe
- -----------------
-
- Basically it's like qheal2, only it doesn't heal damage your mercs suffer.
- It's aimed towards people that find qheal2 too much of a cheat. It
- essentially just bandages your mercs, and stops them from suffering any more
- damage from blood loss or whatever.
-
-
- Problems and Frequently Asked Questions
- ----------------------------------------
-
- Q. When I type qheal2 inside JA:DG, nothing happens to my mercs?
-
- A. Not being a program that stays resident in memory (ie, it's not a TSR),
- qheal2 works on save game files, and must be run from a dos prompt. Exit to
- dos and run it.
-
-
- Q. How come it only works on slot zero?
-
- A. Mostly because I'm lazy. I was going to add a command line switch which
- would let you pick which save game file to use, but it would have taken a
- lot of my time (I'm not that much of an expert at C), and I can't find the
- book for my compiler, so I'd be searching the depths of my memory as how to
- do it.
-
- But if enough people nag me about it, or ask politely, and I find my book,
- I might add it in a future version.
-
-
- Q. My Mercs seem to get fatigued quickly when using qheal2
-
- A. Actually, they just lose energy when they get shot. Because qheal2 only
- fixes the damage, not restore the stamina (I did that on purpose), your mercs
- will be exhausted if they get shot several times in a scenario.
-
-
- Finally
- -----------------
-
- These three programs are freeware. Which means, I don't expect anything for
- them. However, if you find it useful, and can spare it, send me a dollar or
- a postcard.
-
- And if you have any problems/comments, etc, let me know, and especially if
- you find any bugs or if they don't seem to work 100% as advertised.

-
- Thanks:
-
- I'd really really like to thank Henry Chang for the basic info on the offsets
- (I was too lazy to look for them myself). Once he provided me with the
- location for the merc's current health, I was off and running.
-
- I'd also like to thank Sir Tech and Ian Currie for a great game.
