Note from the Author
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Ok, the reason I didn't make one of my regular cheats is that AirBall required
|
|
modifications which couldn't practically be applied on a relocatable (S16)
|
|
file. The AirBall cheat is therefore a CDA. This in itself poses a problem,
|
|
as the program must be searched for in memory (after all, it IS relocatable).
|
|
The advantages of having extra code space for the cheat in memory, however,
|
|
outweigh the AirBall-relocation-searcher problems. Because of the CDA, I was
|
|
able to actually install an extra key-command into AirBall, as documented in
|
|
the use of the cheat below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
How to Use the Cheat
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
First of all, put the CDA into either your /AIRBALL/SYSTEM/DESK.ACCS/ sub-
|
|
directory, or in the corresponding subdirectory on your hard drive, if you like
|
|
to launch AirBall from the Finder or whatever. Reboot your system to get GS/OS
|
|
to load the CDA.
|
|
|
|
Next, launch either AirBall.Dragons or AirBall.NoDrag. The cheat does not
|
|
completely work with the dragons version; this is because I like the no-dragons
|
|
version better. Therefore, you're better off running the no-dragons version.
|
|
|
|
Get to the point where the AirBall is being inflated on those air-blower
|
|
gizmos, and press Control-Open Apple-ESC. Select "AirBall Cheat by >>Joe
|
|
User".
|
|
|
|
If the cheat installs fine, it will make a low-pitch to high-pitch chirp and
|
|
then put you on Quit in the Control Panel. If you haven't loaded AirBall and
|
|
you try to run the cheat (or AirBall has been damaged), the cheat will wait
|
|
some time then give you a high-pitch to low-pitch chirp. (The reverse of the
|
|
other one!)
|
|
|
|
The first thing you'll notice upon returning to AirBall is that you have
|
|
infinite men. (This works on either the dragons or the no-dragons version.)
|
|
|
|
When you press Control-C, the cheat will give you a low-high chirp, telling
|
|
you it's on. Your AirBall will no longer leak air, nor will it explode when
|
|
you stay too long on the blower gizmos, and it is now INVUNERABLE to those
|
|
various pointy objects lying around the castle. Press Control-C to turn the
|
|
cheat off again, giving you the high-low chirp. (Control-C crashes in the
|
|
dragons version.)
|
|
|
|

|
Hints
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Having an invunerability cheat can get you into T-R-O-U-B-L-E. The original
|
|
author of the game (Jason Harper) didn't intend for that little AirBall to be
|
|
in some of the places you can get it to with the cheat. Therefore, if you
|
|
find yourself hopelessly stuck somewhere (happens all the time), press Control-
|
|
C to turn off the cheat. You'll die, but you DO have infinite men, and you'll
|
|
be returned to the last air-blower gizmo you touched. This is a good reason
|
|
to land on evey air-blower gizmo you see, even though with the cheat you don't
|
|
need to use them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Have fun!
