|
|

|
|

|
|
improved key press feedback via speaker.
|
|
|
|
|
|
TRAINER CONTROLS :
|
|
|
|
F4 - Toggle ON/OFF Credit/Spice Max to 10000
|
|
F5 - Toggle ON/OFF Instant Construction
|
|
+ - Instant Finish Mission successfully
|
|
- - Instant Fuckup Mission Horribly
|
|
|
|
DETAILS :
|
|
|
|
F4 - By pressing F4 ONCE you will lock the credits and spice at 10000...no
|
|
matter what the game may say.Nothing in the game will decrease or for
|
|
that matter increase that number.Please not that Spice=Credits BUT the
|
|
game handles the two seperatly.
|
|
For example you will have 10000 Spice/Credits in the appropriate
|
|
memory locations BUT if you check you're spice storage it will only
|
|
be equal to the number of silos.Ex. 3 Silos=3000 spice.You can't have or
|
|
be credited for more than you can STORE.So when you finish a mission
|
|
EVEN THOUGH it says you have 10000.The game only adds up and credits
|
|
you with the amount you have in your silos.
|
|
Building 10 silos to hold it all is impractible but I gave you 10000
|
|
just for the hell of it.Also note that when this is LOCKED in the game
|
|
will keep saying insufficient storage...spice is lost...Well it's still
|
|
there but cannot be creited until it is stored.10000 Credits will allow
|
|
you alot of freedom in repairs,updates and construction.
|
|
NOTE that when you activate this the game will begin to scroll/add to
|
|
your current total credits whatever that may be until it reaches 10000.
|
|
It won't happen instantly but kicks in pretty quickI could have done it
|
|
the other way but this is more fun....
|
|
|
|
Press F4 a second time and it will restore the above changes but the
|
|
10000 Spice/Credits WILL still exist as long as you have the storage.
|
|
In other words if you press F4 once...you get 10000.But say you only
|
|
had 4 silos.Well if you hit F4 again the credits will scroll back to
|
|
4000 until you have more silos.Build more at that time and it will
|
|
increase as your storage does.
|
|
When you have pressed F4 the game operates normally with the above
|
|
exception and your credits will decrease and increase under normal
|
|
game functions like always (i.e. when you build something its costs
|
|
gets subtracted...repairs cost etc etc....).
|
|
As above the credits will scroll back to whatever value corresponds
|
|
to your Silo/Spice ratio.
|
|
|
|
Basically you can use F4 just ONCE and be set for the whole game.The
|
|
amount of spice you get CREDITED for is up to you as to how many silos
|
|
you build to store that 10000.Nothing will change that 10000 credits
|
|
unless you revert back to normal game mode but then the above changes
|
|
apply....
|
|
|
|
F5 - Instant Construction.Even at the Fastest speed construction always took
|
|
too long for me.So now by pressing F5 you are in INSTANT construction
|
|
mode.Anything you build or create now does so instantly.No more waiting
|
|
for the 100%.This works for anything in the game.Troops,Tanks,Buildings
|
|
etc etc etc....
|
|
Note it does not effect the arrival of items through the StarPort nor
|
|
does it speed up repairs or Upgrades.These don't happen often and are
|
|
fast enough.
|
|
|
|
+ - This is the GREY PLUS on the NUMBER PAD.Pressing this will automatically
|
|
complete your current mission as if you have done all that is needed
|
|
with great success.It advances you to the next mission as if you
|
|
met all your goals in other words.Note the Strategy Map will be updated
|
|
accordingly....
|
|
|
|
- - This is the GREY MINUS on the NUMBER PAD.Tap this during a mission and
|
|
you will get to see what failure is like.It will end the mission and
|
|
update the game as if you didn't meet your objectives.
|
|
|
|
|
|
BONUS CRACK :
|
|
|
|
I included the crack I did the night the game was released....I saw Hal 9000's
|
|
a short time after I had mine done so I didn't bother to release it.A while
|
|
later Hal's Crack had a TDT NFO file on it so go figure.I still don't know
|
|
what anyone is talking about the TDT crack NOT working.Unless there was a
|
|
crack before HAL's that I never saw.
|
|
Anyway it is a simple patch.Just run it once and it will patch DUNE2.EXE
|
|
so that the Doc Check after Mission 2 never appears.There are no more checks
|
|
anywhere in the game and this works fine for me.
|
|
A note to FLT...why the hell did you release the WHOLE DUNE2.EXE file????
|
|
It was NOT ENCRYPTED nor COMPRESSED so what's the deal?Oh well the scenes
|
|
a mess anyway so what else is new.......
|
|
It is included SEPERATLY and called DUN2-PAT.COM
|
|
|
|
NOTES :
|
|
|
|
I seldom enjoy or even play most of the stuff out today but this game really
|
|
grabbed my attention.Also the fact that we got hammered up this way by the
|
|
bastard of a Storm and I got stuck home for the weekend (can't Rave in NYC
|
|
when half the city is under water now can I?Peace out to the organizers of
|
|
STORM Rave...I hope things work out.Man can you stand the fucking IRONY!?
|
|
Storm Rave gets cancelled by a fucking Storm??????) gave me the free time I
|
|
NEVER have on weekends to do something different for a change (stay home and
|
|
be a computer GEEK!)
|
|
|
|
Okay Quickly the game has a few bugs,none of which are caused by my trainer.
|
|
|
|
A: Sometimes the screen gets fucked up and drops to a lesser resolution after
|
|
you go in and out of menu choices.To fix it go to the OPTIONS and then
|
|
continue back to the game.The original resolution will be restored.
|
|
|
|
B: At times the Right-Most Icon/Message Box will go blank for no reason.Just
|
|
click or select any object in the game and it will restore itself.
|
|
|
|
C: For some reason aside from memory and calcualtion restraints the game only
|
|
allows you to build so much STUFF.It seems to be a TOTAL amount of STUFF
|
|
that is allowable.I've surpassed that but the game SLOWS WAY done and for
|
|
that reason I must guess (without docs) that the reason is that the game
|
|
just can't handle it.You will run up against an UNABLE TO CREATE MORE
|
|
message and thats that.Perhaps becuase of my boost to construction this
|
|
is a limit that NORMALLY wouldn't be reached.Anyway for that reason I
|
|
EXCLUDE that portion of my original trainer that let you build to you went
|
|
blind.Sorry.You can't make anything else till something you already have
|
|
is destroyed or used up.
|
|
|
|
D: It is a typical strategy game in that the computer CHEATS like a mother
|
|
fuck.I found when I use my level advance function at the start of a
|
|
mission.The bastard already has tons of spice 'somehow' produced and
|
|
stored.Also he can always build more STUFF than you.Most battles seem to
|
|
be status quo because the computer matches your ass.Maybe its ment to be
|
|
that way.If so play till you get bored and use the trainer to go to the
|
|
next mission.
|
|
|
|
E: I haven't seen if its in there but the game doesn't appear to have any
|
|
function that lets you remove something or destroy it and build again.
|
|
This would be an INVALUABLE feature.(I.e. just like SimCity...don't like
|
|
it...then start over).This would ease the unable to create more problems
|
|
becuase you could remove shit you didn't want and build what you need
|
|
at THAT time.
|
|
|
|
On a note that DOES have to do with my trainer....
|
|
|
|
TRAINER PATCH :
|
|
|
|
There were no handy INT's to grab for my input to the trainer and as a rule
|
|
I generally abstain from revectoring INT8h and INT9h although they are
|
|
available.The trainer,on loading,PATCHES a user INT into the main code loop
|
|
of the game.This is good enough for my own input routines as the main loop
|
|
gets called several time/sec.
|
|
|
|
Just a warning that the input basically is designed to work on the MAIN
|
|
GAME screen and NOT in any of the submenus.You don't need to train anything
|
|
in there but just note that you probably won't get any keypress feedback
|
|
unless you are on the main game screen.
|
|
|
|
So that PATCH is to the file DUNE2.EXE which means if you run the game
|
|
WITHOUT my trainer it will crash when it hits that INT.No sweat....that's
|
|
what the UNINSTALL Patch is for at the main trainer menu.Use this to restore
|
|
the game to 100% (or at least back to whatever cracked version you use).
|
|
|
|
Alas I already had the crack done an was too lazy to link the code from that
|
|
to this.In the future I while add a CRACK/PATCH and crack loader function
|
|
into the developing Main Menu.....
|
|
|
|
|
|
WRAP UP :
|
|
|
|
Well another one for ya to enjoy.The limits for the creation of more STUFF
|
|
can be passed but the game is fine without it and I warn that if it is done
|
|
you are inviting some system crashes along the way.
|
|
|
|
As for damage and repair control...well it wouldn't be impossible as I know
|
|
where the routines are but since you can keep making more of what you lose
|
|
your troops and buildings are sort-of disposable so fuck it I say....
|
|
|
|
Also I just got a call saying that Razor and one of those new trainer
|
|
groups have already just released trainers.Well its up to you to judge.I was
|
|
that the one from either Excess or Unlimited doesnt work for shit.The
|
|
Razor I hear is a hard patch...?.I wish people would stop doing little
|
|
,many times incomplete and non-QUALITY trainers....No offense to anyone but
|
|
take a GOOD look at whats coming out these days....Well as I said before I
|
|
suppose the WHOLE scene is fucked for a LONG time to come.I say we disband
|
|
all this group shit and go back underground.....
