Jason Jupiter II Screen Editor (1990).
Author: Neil A. Drage.
If you are having trouble completing Jason Jupiter II or simply
don't like the screens as they are (which is MOST UNLIKELY!),
then you may like to use the Jason Jupiter II Screen Editor. This
allows you to adjust any of the twelve screens supplied with the
game or you could completely change all of the screens thus
creating a new game. The screens file can then be distributed to
all of your friends etc.
To use the editor first you have to place the editor program file
and the Jason Jupiter screen data file (JASONED.EXE and
SCREENS2.DAT) in the same directory on a hard disc or on the same
floppy disc. Make sure you have a backup copy of the SCREENS2.DAT
file. Now type:
JASONED
and press the return key. You will now be greeted with a two
option menu, 1 to edit a screen and 2 to exit the program. Press 1
and you are asked for a screen number (1 to 12). When you have
picked one, the screen is displayed as characters instead of the
graphics that you see in the game (ie a rock is represented as
an 'X', and a heart as a '.').
The cursor you use to change the screen is a yellow blob (or grey
if you are watching in black and white!). To move this about use
the arrow (cursor) keys on the numeric keypad. To change an item
on the screen use one of the following keys:
Key Item
* Wall
# Soft Stuff
. Borxidium Hear
/ Sprog
X Rock
= Teleport
<space> Space
When you have finished editing the screen press E. You will now
be asked weather you wish to change the number of hearts you want
the player to have to collect to be able to get off the screen. A
suitable number should be several below the number of hearts on
the screen, this is because some of the hearts may get buried
under rocks which cannot be got at during the course of play.
While you are editing the screen several pieces of information
are displayed including the screen number, x and y co-ordinate of
the cursor, the available keys and the number of hearts that
previously needed to be collected by the user for that screen.
