-
- What is CataGod?
- ----------------
-
- CataGod is a utility program for players of "The Catacomb Abyss 3-D" (TM)
- by Gamer's Edge. It allows you to edit a saved-game file to give yourself
- more curing portions, zappers, and xterminators, and also all keys, scrolls
- and magic gems.
-
-
- Installing CataGod
- ------------------
-
- Copy CATAGOD.EXE to the subdirectory where you installed the rest of the
- files for "The Catacomb Abyss". If you want a fast way to make an all-
- powerful character, also copy MAKEGOD.BAT, too.
-
-
- Using CataGod
- -------------
-
- To use CataGod, you first play "The Catacomb Abyss" and save a game before
- exiting back to DOS. Remember the name you called this game because you
- need it to run CataGod. Once you have saved a game, type:
-
- catagod
-
- at the DOS prompt to see a list of all the options that are available to you.
- Follow the instructions and you should have no trouble editing your saved
- game.
-
-
- CataGod Examples
- ----------------
-
- A good place to start is to give your character full health and more curing
- potions. Let's say you saved a game with the name "john". To give yourself
- full health and, say, 50 curing potions, type:
-
- catagod john /h100 /c50
-
- To give yourself 85 Zappers, 90 Xterminators and the Purple Gem, type:
-
- catagod john /z85 /x90 /gp
-
- That's all there is to it! Type "catagod" by itself to get a list of all
- the available options and experiment for yourself! Remember to make a
- backup of a .SAV saved game before running CataGod so you can go back to
- it later if you want to.
-
-
- MakeGod.BAT
- -----------
-
- I have also included a small batch file called MAKEGOD.BAT that will easily
- set all values to their MAXIMUM settings. Following the examples above,
- simply type:
-
- makegod john
-
- and you will be very difficult to defeat!
-
-
- Notes
- -----
-
- I have only tried this on the first of the three-part series of Catacomb 3-D
- adventures, but please try it on "The Catacomb Armageddon" and "The Catacomb
- Apocolypse" as well. It will probably work on these saved game files as well,
- but backup your files first before testing just in case.

- Registering CataGod
- -------------------
-
- Print out the file ORDER.FRM to get a quick order form for registering CataGod.
- If you register, you will receive the latest version of CataGod and the
- Borland C++ source code used to make it. The cost of the diskette and the
- mailing charges are all included in the $5 registration fee. If you find
- CataGod useful, upload it to other bulletin boards so other players can
- have an easier time exploring the Catacombs!
