- Enclosed files:
- README.COM This file
- SETBALLS.EXE The actual program
- PIN4.BAS The source code
-
- Purpose:
- This program will enable you to set the number of balls in the first eight
- table of Epic Pinball.
-
- Instructions:
- Put SETBALLS.EXE to the same subdirectory your Epic Pinball files are
- located at.
-
- As you run the program (SETBALLS.EXE), it will display each table by name
- and the number of balls currently set. If you press ENTER, there will be no
- change. Type in the number to change the setting. The change will not take
- place until all eight tables are set (or left alone) and you will have an
- opportunity to abandon the setting, save it or run the program again.
-
- The numbers can be set between 1 and 254. If you enter a 0, the number of
- balls will be set to 255. Inside the program, any number above 9 will be
- displayed by a single ASCII character (not a number). Ignore it, it will
- work fine. Also, during play no ball over 9 will be displayed. The number
- will stay 9.
-
- This program will NOT change the pinball game code! It will change bytes
- 12,16,20,24,28,32,36 and 40 of CONFIG.PIN. In case of the unlikely event
- that this program would mess up CONFIG.PIN, just delete it and run SETUP,
- it will re-create CONFIG.PIN
- (In order to reassure you that this is not a virus, I enclosed the source
- code:PIN4.BAS. You may check it, compile it with QBASIC 4.5 and use the EXE
- file you generate.)
-
- Have fun,
- Gabor G. Laufer, M.D.
-
- Ps: I never could make the android come "alive" in Android, despite an
- astronomical score after playing almost 2 hours, using up over 50 balls.
- I did follow the instructions, yet there was no cigar. If you know how to,
- please call EF BBS (I am the Sysop), 703 765-4539 and leave a message to
- the Sysop or to Gabor Laufer
