Fantasy Land Player Reviver v1.0
StarGate Seven Software
Programmer: Timothy Wilson
May, 1992
INTRODUCTION:
=============
FLREVIVE.EXE is a substitute for the standard Player
Character Reviver in Fantasy Land v1.2 and operates about 50-
60% times faster. FLREVIVE is only slightly larger than REVIVE
(4741 bytes as opposed to 4511 compressed), but performs the
revival substantially faster.
WHAT IT DOES:
=============
The author of Fantasy Land included the file
structures enabling other programmers to access the data
files. When a player character is aroused the STATUS field in
FANTASY.DAT is set to 2 (RECOVERING) and arousal cannot be
attempted until the field is set to 1 (READY).
FLREVIVE quickly reads FANTASY.DAT, sets the STATUS
field to 1 for every player, then rewrites the file.
OPERATION:
==========
Place FLREVIVE.EXE in the same subdirectory with the
FANTASY.DAT file. Type FLREVIVE to invoke. The utility may be
run from the command line or from your batch file (every time
Fantasy Land is played or as a BBS nightly event).
NOTE:
=====
The author of Fantasy Land comments that future
versions may include changes to the file structures. If the
FANTASY.DAT file is modified, FLREVIVE.EXE will also require
modifications.
If you acquire a different version of Fantasy Land,
please let me know so that: 1) if I already know about it I
can send you the update of FLREVIVE or 2) I can update
FLREVIVE.
FINAL NOTE:
===========
FLREVIVE is FreeWare. Although the research and
testing were somewhat time-consuming, actual coding was quick
and required only about 75 lines of Turbo Pascal. However,
please let me know if you find FLREIVE useful. I've enclosed a
simple registration form.
