Subject: Pathways Into Darkness "Howto" cheat file v.310


Here is the newest version of the hack file for PID (Pathways Into
Darkness), this file shows how to edit your character and its items,
it also includes (this is new) Pou Lee's survival guide and some other
minor changes... If ya got the last one, ya gotta get this one.

            Pathways Into Darkness
            item cheat file v.3.10

Disclaimer:

I and anyone else involved in this file  are not in the least
bit responsible for any damage brought apon by careless modification.
I wrote this file, it is your responsibility if you decide to use it,
NOT ours. For all I know you could attempt to modify your character
and screwup your entire hardrive. Backup your character (not saying that
that would save your hardrive) and realize what you do is what YOU do,
and not us. So there.

Credits:

With pretty much all of the credit going to Pou Lee  ([e-mail]) who
put together this list and many of the discriptions... I just cleaned
the thing up and added on and sent it out to you.

Also thanks to Gabriele Callari ([e-mail]) for the time
discovery.

Introduction:

This file describes how to edit your game, be it giving your character
255 shots in your Walther-P4, changing your hitpoints to be 4000 or
even changing your location within the dungeon. It is a quite simple
process, although it CAN be dangerous so I recommend you make a copy of
your Saved Games file and keep it in a spare place (yea, yea, you've
heard it before... but it REALLY sucks to lose your file when you've
gotten all the way to the suffocation chamber or something.)

Whatsnu?

*How to change the time in your game.
*Pou Lee's Survival Guide (1.1)

Watcha need:

You have to have some sort of sector editor, I've been using Norton
Utilites (you can get to it by loading up Norton and then in the
Utilities menu its the item which says, Norton Disk Editor.) You need
your Pathways Into Darkness Saved Games file, and you need a backup of
this file.

Editing Items:

Open up your Saved Games file, or the copy of the same thing.
Go to sector 6 (within the file, NOT 6 absolute sectors - that would
probably take you into your boot block or something nasty), this is
where all the inventory items are kept (for the FIRST game in your
list, I haven't figured out where the others are located yet, I
haven't the need for it yet. If you figure it out, let me know)

Each item in your inventory is 8 bytes long. A byte consists of a hex
"number" so FF is a byte, so is 33 and 2A, etc. You can see (at least
within Norton) that there are two sets of 8 on each line. It may be a
little confusing as there are four sections on each line. Each one of
those sections has 8 single digits in it, in other words four bytes.
So you take the left half of the line and there are two sections of
four bytes, those left two sections consist of one inventory item. It
may take a second for this to sink in, but look at it for a little
while, it'll make sense.

The second byte is the item hex code number (the list is below as to
which each hex code corresponds to). It is benifical to change a
couple copies of Mien Kampf into a clip of ammo, or a potion or
something. To do this, just change this byte to the hex number in the
list below.

The fourth byte is the condition of the item (either worn or wielded,
or just held) hex number. I believe that 00 means you are holding the
item (just in your inventory), 01 and 02 either mean word/wielded or
held (as in a crystal sense). I haven't botherd to figure out what
these actually are as it is just as easy to do that garbage within the
game. Modifying this byte is just worthless and is increasing your
chance of screwing something up.

The sixth byte is the quantity in hex. This is a handy one if you seem to
be running out of ammo (yea, like that would EVER happen in this
game... I would often just give myself a couple clips of 255 shots for
my Walther, that way I wouldnt think I was cheating - not like giving
yourself a violet potion and a ceder box right away, you have to find
those!). Compute the hex value with a calculator (I would recommend
PCalc) and put it in here... the max is FF (which in decimal is 255).
Clips that normally come in x8 (Walther) or x32 (P-41) can be set to
x255 without any problems.... Its handy to have a large clip, as
reloading takes time.

The Eight byte is the inventory catalog hex number. This is where in
your list of items this item lies. I wouldn't recommend modifying this
one either, just change it in the game.

Exceptions: When an item is stored in a container (like ammo in a gun
or the pearl in a sack...) some bytes are turned into FFFF; the last
inventory item does not seem to have a hex catalog number but FFFF in
the last two bytes.

To sum up: the safest way of editing in items is simply to change a
useless item like Nazi propaganda to the item you desire. To add items
to the inventory is possible, but extra care and precaution must be
used. It may seem confusing and items may not conform to the
descriptions above, but generally I have found that you can easily
identify a clip of ammo or a piece of Nazi junk and just change that
into what you desire, most everything else just falls into place.

Misc:

As far as your location, your health points, time and the weapon proficiency
ratings (together with killed monster points) these are stored in the
4th sector of the file (remember all the items were in the 6th sector).

The X,Y coordinates are stored in the 1868 and 1872 offsets respectivly.
Setting these can be dangerous (it would not be good to set yourself in
the middle of a wall, or somewhere unescapable)

The level of the dungeon is stored in offset 1875. Remember the modification
of the position of the character can potentially send one's character to
Virtual Nirvanna (in the middle of nowhere) which could inflict Bad Craziness.
It might be worth your while, however, if you have only a minute left in
the game and you are on the bottom level of the dungeon to set your level
to the top one in order to escape (assuming the top level is where you escape!)

Your character's hitpoints (current hit points, not max) are stored
in offset 1877, and the maximum hitpoints are stored in offset 1879. Hitpoints
have a limit, 4000. Setting this too high will put you at negitive (first
hit you die). Or if you set it too high and get something that would increase
your max hitpoints it will go negitive.

Time can be found in offset 1786-1789; these bytes are the hexidecimal
number which represents the time passed from the beginning (=00000000) in
60ths of a second. So if you want to go back (or forth) one minute,
subtract (or add) to this number E10 (3600 in decimal), for an hour use
34BC0 (21600 decimal), and so on.

Weapon proficiency rating (0-3...0 meaning none, 1 being novice...3 expert)
for the six weapon categories are in offsets: 1863, 1895, 1901, 1907 1913, and
1919. Your proficiency goes up when the monsters killed with that weapon
reaches a certain point, the amount of monsters that have been killed with
each weapon is stored in: 1879, 11891, 1897, 1903, 1909, 1915.

This file is a cursory survival guide for PID, intending to offer basic
information for completion of the game. Please send me
([e-mail]) any correction or better tips/solutions.

This file is version 1.1, dated September 22, 1993.

What's New:
More playing tips for players with normal characters and several error
corrections concerning saving zones.
*************************************************************
General Playing Tips

Save constantly. This is especially true is the lower (physically)
levels where heavy-damage-inflicting monsters roam. IMHO, this game is
most enjoyable if one plays it mission-oriented style: before playing,
set up an objective like the killing of ten monsters or the procurement
of a certain object, before saving again. Use the saving zones as
mission bases. Whenever heavy damage has been sustained, revert. Each
resting will cost 7 minutes of time. In other words, every hit sustained
is time lost.

This game IMHO is very heavy on resource management. Most important
resources are time and ammunitions. Ammunition will cease to be of
extreme concern once the Ammo Duplication Cedar Box is obtained. Time
will always be of extreme concern. Each resting takes 7 minutes and will
allow one to recover about 1/7 of total health points. Ammo is
duplicated in a minutely base.

Incremental resting is recommended once the Ammo Cedar Box is obtained:
might as well produce ammo in resting, even though it is inefficient
since ammo can be produced every minute while one meaningful resting
period is 7 minutes.

Command key sideward dodging is essential in minimizing hits in the
easier levels.

Recommended tactics for normal characters at easier level is Tango style
movement with ambush style firing: run forward several steps before
retreating all those steps back and be ready to side step behind walls
to induce bad guys advancing into ambushes.

Recommended tactics for normal characters at harder level is Waltz style
movement with assasin style firing: run forward several steps before
retreating necessary number of steps back around a defensable corner,
turn body around until the gun is pointing at most 45 degree from the
anticipated advancing path of the approaching monsters. Commence firing
once any part of the monsters is seen.

If a monster (particulary those like Skitters (& Ghast) that can shoot
straight and fast travelling ammo) is known to be approaching, hide
around the corner at most 45 degree to its approach. Commence firing
upon sighting any part of it in the gun sight. Once hit, it will stop
and try to return fire but can not do so because it can not shoot at an
angle.

Weapons should be fired at point blank range whenever possible to ensure
maximum damage while conserving ammunition until one procures the Cedar
Box for ammo duplication. The only exception is with fragmentation
grenades in the case when they are plenty: fire them as far as possible
to allow for reloading, thus a second shot.

Weapon accuracy is included in consideration for performance evaluation
at the end of the game.

Number 1 priority is to obtain the Cedar box for ammo duplication.

Usage of crystals and potions should be extremely judicious or else one
may have a hard, if not impossible, time overcoming certain situations
in the game.

Learn to aim and shoot straight first. Then learn to shoot at an angle
hidding around the corner, ambushing incoming monsters at or nearly at
point-blank range.

Never slug it out with monsters face to face. Always try to draw them
into ambushes in which they can not shoot back. Be efficiently patient
whenever possible: saving 1 minute of waiting by going out rushing
around looking for monsters is definitely not worth the while if one has
to spend 5 minute recuperating from the wounds thus sustained.

Try to recover as many artifacts as possible since this process improves
one's health points.

Try to visit every square of any level to recover ammo clips in the
early game. Later on, like after the level Lasciate Ogne Speranza, Voi
Ch'Intrate, one may not wish or in fact, recommended not to do so if one
has the Cedar Box and knows where all the goodies like potions and
artifacts are.

The program takes around 4 to 5 second to reload the Grenade Launcher.
To reload the M-79 in less than 2 seconds, allow it to break open right
after firing before immediately command-2 to shift to inventory window.
Double-click on the M-79 to unwield it before double-click it to wield
it again. It will be reloaded and ready to be fired again. Command-1 to
shift back to game window to continue firing.

Before quaking down the Sentinels' shields, wait a little standing a
little to the right of the center of the path to attract Skitters to
apprach on the other side of the shields. Their rolling web spindles
will be stopped by the shields if the Sentinels sit in the way. Blast
the Skitters with Fragmentation grenades. HE or Projectile grenades will
be stopped by the shields but not Fragmentation ones.

Remember to set the bomb before leaving Who Else Wants Some?

Amyst Ring, Bubbling Red Potion, Thick Brown Potion, Clear Blue Healing
Potion: the end of the SW corner room/corridor

Problem(s): Flamethrower Monster
Solution(s): Violet crystal(?); expenditure of much ammo (with usage of
crystals, not strongly recommended). One approach is once one has
entered the room, salvage all usable equipment's from dead soldiers
ASAP, run toward the end. The Flamethrower monster starts walking from
the end. Try to beat it to the first corner nearest to the end of the
corridor. Position oneself halfway on the corner facing it as it walks
up. Freeze or burn it motionless when there is room besides the monster
so that one may squeeze through as it stops. Run toward the end of the
corridor past the door to pick up all the goodies at the end as the
monster starts to rumble back. By the time it almost reaches the end,
other monsters should have come in behind it and start shooting at it in
trying to shoot at one's character. Pump all but one Projectile grenades
into it. Pump MP-41/ Walther ammo into it. Use blue/orange crystals with
good timing to prevent it from throwing flames while one pumps ammo into
it. Eventually (60 to 100 rounds of AK-47 SABOT ammo) it will
disintegrate. Use a fragmentation grenade if more than one is available
to take out the other small monsters if one has run out of resources.
