-
- This program modifies a Descent save game (registered version only). The
- number of lives, energy, shield strength, and weaponry are modified. I
- found that after defeating the Bigboss on level 7, I usually had only one
- life left and minimal weapons. Even with the new save feature
- under the registered Descent, it meant a frustrating toe hold on level 8.
-
- Usage:
-
- editsave input-file output-file
-
- Example:
-
- editsave robert.sg0 robert.upd
-
-
- The save games are named "players.sg0" Where "players" is your
- pilot's name. The ".sg0" is the save game number. The modified file will
- need to be named using this format. For example, if your input file
- is "ROBERT.SG2" and the output file is "ROBERT.UPD", the output file will
- need to be renamed to something like "ROBERT.SG3".
-
- Descent supports up to 10 different save games in this format (.SG0 through
- .SG9).
-
- You can change the default values for several fields by modifying a local
- options file named "editsave.ini" An example file is included. All fields
- are optional. If the editsave.ini file is not found, then defaults are
- used - the option file is a way for someone to affect the default values
- I chose.
-
- For example, I had fun creating and using a homing-missile only platform.
-
- This text file must accompany the executable file. Otherwise, these files
- may be freely distributed.
-
- Happy hunting!
