CataGod 1.00 - READ.ME
----------------------
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!
