If there are few bug reports for this version, then they will be fixed for release with the full release, v1.10! As it -looks- like all of the major (and minor for that matter) bugs have been fixed. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 New web site! 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 -Noel Software- is now on the web! Visit our home page at, http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Heights/2233 Credit card orders can also be taken at this site to receive your key within 48 hours! 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 v1.09 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Added ability to adjust amount of "looks" needed to be successful when flirting with an "inn mate." G5 reads the LOOKS.DAT file for these 7 amounts. � Added option to have G5 "shell" out to Xports, or completely exit (as it normally did). For those having trouble with Xports, they can now try the "shell out" option and see if it works now. This option is set under "Setup Galaxy 5 | Misc. Options." It also -seems- that the "swap" option runs Xports faster... � Fixed problem with INBATTLE.# & GO.# files being left on disk in the TEMP subdirectory. These are temporary files used when two players battle in node-to-node combat. � Fixed cosmetic glitch in the random Mudshark event. A blank line was being drawn in the text field. � Fixed problem with HIT_INFO.DAT file being 0 bytes sometimes, and therefore causing an error. � Fixed problem with some user names not being converted to uppercase causing users to have to start the game over due to not being recognized by the game. � Fixed what may have caused minor problems when getting food or drink at the inn. Variable was set at Byte and tried to generate numbers higher than 255 (the byte limit) when players would buy food or drink, and amounts would therefore come out as negative amounts. � Fixed problem with interest rates. G5 was calculating interest rates incorrectly during maintenance. � Fixed "Registered To" and "Thanx To..." fields shown on the "pre-entry" menu so they are now centered like they were supposed to be in the first place! ;) � Rewrote the "List Players" routine. It is now 100% faster when listing players. This also applies to writing the player rankings files when G5 terminates. Its -much- faster now! ;) � Added error checking for every routine that reads from external files. If there is an error, the game will not halt, and the player will be informed of the error, as well as the SysOp via the ERROR.LOG file. � Added ability for players to stay at an Xport if the Xport supports this. 3rd party programmers, refer to the G5_STRUC.ZIP file for information on how to do this, and how it works. � Added (optional) ability for players to steal the weapon and/or armour from another player that they kill, if the opponent has a better weapon and/or armour than their own. This is turned on by the SysOp in G5 Setup under "Setup Galaxy 5|Misc Options" � Added a VERSION.DAT file for 3rd party programmers (and for me in fact). This is a normal text file containing only the version number of Galaxy 5 running. It is located in the DATA subdirectory. � Fixed problem with maintenance not correctly deleting players that it was supposed to despite the maintenance routine showing them deleted. � Fixed problem with players committing suicide and their macros not also being deleted (if they had any recorded). � Added a prompt when trying to escape from an enemy, and you cannot escape. � Added support for MegaHost BBS's MEGAHST#.DEF drop file. � Added support for WWIV's CHAIN.TXT drop file. � Added option to abort paging another online user into battle by pressing the ESC key during the page. � Added ability to change the delay factor of the hovering disc that the guy gives you the opportunity to shoot in the warfields (random event). This is for those systems where the disc flew either too fast or too slow. The default value is 40. To change the value, create a file named DELAY.DAT with only the value you wish to use as the very first line, very first column, and place it in your DATA subdirectory. This value can be anywhere between 1 and 255. Increasing the value will slow down the disc, decreasing it will speed it up. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Changes in G5 Editor v1.09 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Added the "flirt amounts" editor for editing the amounts in the LOOKS.DAT file. � Fixed cosmetic glitch in the "Pick Files Editor." When pressing F3 to pick a new file to edit, the name of the file picked would not be shown at the top of the box, it would read the same as the last file being edited. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Changes in G5 Setup v1.09 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Added the option to set the "swap out for xports" option to YES or NO. Located under "Setup Galaxy 5|Misc. Options" � Added the option to set the "Allow Stealing of Weapons/Armour option to YES or NO. Located under "Setup Galaxy 5|Misc. Options" � Added MegaHost drop file selections in node setup. � Added WWIV drop file selections in node setup (CHAIN.TXT). 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Changes in INSTALL.EXE v1.09 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Fixed problem with "Runtime Error 002" when installing (or upgrading) the game to the same directory running INSTALL from. � When INSTALL searches for a copy of GALAXY5.EXE on the chosen drive letter, if it finds more than one, it will give you a pick list of which directory to choose. You can still change the target directory afterwards by manually typing it in. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 v1.08 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Fixed problem with Boko helping you out during a warrior droid fight (if you have met Boko the same day), and thus not being progressed to the next level. � Fixed a problem that I -thought- I fixed a long time ago! Lock ups when changing your name with the bartender and using an invalid G5 code. This is fixed for sure now! ;> � Fixed problem with players being allowed to continue to play after getting killed by the "Biker Dude" at the biker bar. � Fixed problem with players being erased from the game when days before deleting inactive players was set to 0. � Fixed it so that players cannot ask about the "Titanium Long Sword" more than once when they are level 15. This never hurt anything, but nonetheless, it has been corrected. � Fixed problem with players buying weapons, armour and/or space crafts above number 10. Ya big cheaters! ;) � Fixed a problem in the NODE*.DAT file. The COMPORT line wasn't reading COMPORT before the com port number in some cases. Not sure if this has caused any problems yet, but it has been fixed nonetheless. � Fixed problem with MuDsHaRK sometimes visiting when players flew to the 6th planet. He wasn't supposed to pop up at all here! ;) � Got a new RAVEN.ANS ansi from the MuDsHaRK. Also added a new RAVEN2.ANS, shown just before the Raven Morpheous speaks. � Fixed problem with players being married to "DELETED." This happened when the player another player was married to, got deleted from the game from either suicide, or lack of play as set by the SysOp. � Fixed problem with mail scrolling up the screen (blankly). This happened when mail was written to a players mail file improperly. G5 now checks for the problem and will not lock-up. � Fixed a few mispelled words here and there. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Changes in G5 Editor v1.08 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Fixed problem with lockups during reading some players mail files. This was due to improper G5 ~ codes being used in the mail. The editor now checks for them just like the game does. � Fixed problem with screen not restoring properly when pressing F1 for help in the "skills editor" area. After pressing "Ok" when finished reading the help, the screen did not restore. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Changes in INSTALL.EXE v1.08 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Added a drive letter pick list for choosing the drive to install the game to. � Added error checking for proper extraction of the game files from within the G5.ZIP archive. Install would not unpack the game files on some systems, but would continue with installation. � Now searches the chosen drive for an existing copy of Galaxy 5. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 v1.07 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Ok, I do believe I -finally- fixed the problem with EMS not being released after the game exits (yay)! At least it works on my system. My total available EMS is the same after I'm done playing as it was before I start the game. � A not so important "bug" was fixed. When falling in the pit, and choosing to consume a drink, the purple liquid was spelled liquit. A minor oversight on my part. ;> � When viewing todays news, and selecting to view yesterdays news, if there is no news for yesterday, it will tell you so, then continue reading todays news instead of leaving the news. � Fixed problem with lockups at the "Bartender." � Fixed problem with G5_TMP_$.### files -STILL- being left on disk when they should have been getting erased (again). � Added a new random event when going to another planet. � Fixed runtime error 106 during player fights. Added error checking for this error, and if it occurs, the player is told "Error reading from temporary player fight file!" � Fixed it so that when players select to go to another planet, if they choose the number of the same planet they are currently on, it will not show them going to the planet. It tells them that is the planet they are on and lets them decide again. � Added a TEXT subdirectory to hold all of those *.TXT files (except for REGISTER.TXT). This keeps the home G5 directory from getting too cluttered. � Fixed problem with pressing "?" at the biker bar to redisplay the menu taking you back to the warfields. � Added an ANSI file (and ASCII version) displayed to the caller when the game is starting up (BEAMING.ANS & BEAMING.ASC), instead of just writing "Transporting To Galaxy 5..." to the upper left corner (if you wish to keep using the "Transporting" message, just delete the BEAMING.* files). � Added the ability to run a PRELOG.BAT file. This works in the same manner as the LOGON.BAT file except that it runs right after initializing the program, BEFORE the player is taken into the game (even before the player reaches the "pre-play menu." This one CANNOT be used to run Xports, or any other utilities that require reading of the G5 drop files! � Also added the ability to run a LOGOFF.BAT file. This one works in the exact same manner as the PRELOG.BAT file, except that it is ran right before G5 actually exits back to the BBS. � Fixed problem when an "Inn Mate" agrees to go upstairs with a player, and the game showing the players krills on hand as the one going upstairs with them, instead of the Inn Mates name! � Added support for Xports that can kill players. G5 will not allow them to continue if they have been killed in an Xport. � Fixed problem with players in Xports being marked as "Not on now" and their info being taken from the G5_ON.DAT file (the temp file located in the TEMP subdirectory that shows who is online at the moment). � Made it so that when a player gets a divorce, his/her looks go back down to 10 (if their looks were higher than 10). � Fixed problem with mail being sent to the last player in the data file when a player divorces an "Inn Mate." It no longer writes mail since there is no actual person to receive it. � Fixed problem with runtime error 209 coming up sometimes when the game is exiting. � Changed a few of the ANSI's to reflect a more, "spacey" theme. � Added new INN#.ANS ANSI's. � Fixed it so that players who have been killed who can not play again until tomorrow can still view the news and receive any new mail if they try to go back into the game. � Updated some of the structure files in G5_STRUC.ZIP. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Changes in G5 Setup v1.07 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Fixed problem in the "Register Galaxy 5" option. When saving a file to disk, run-time error 160 occured when saving the file. � Added an option for deleting players with only 100 skill during daily maintenance. 98% of the time, players with only 100 (or 200 in the case of an assasin) skill, usually never play again after entering the game once. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Changes in G5 Editor v1.07 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Fixed problem with the mate editor showing the guys name as a number. This only happened if the player editor has been loaded prior to loading the mate editor. � Same as above for the Enemy Editor! :> The enemy's weapon was being shown as a number after loading the player editor. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 v1.06 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Fixed a few problems with the dropfiles that G5 creates for Xport support. When 0 was used for IRQ number in NODE*.CFG (for use fossil driver), the COM port number wasn't being written to the NODE*.DAT drop file, and the DORINFO*.DEF file that G5 creates read incorrect COM port info. It wuz writing just the comport number, when it should have read COM4 (4 being replaced with the proper COM port number). � Added a "-=�Continue? [Yes/no]" prompt to the routine that displays a text file to the user. This prompt comes up every 23 lines if the file is longer than 23 lines, and allows the user to stop reading the file, or continue reading it. It used to be a prompt, and did not allow you to stop reading. � Added an option for the player to view the MAC_HELP.DAT file in case they need help with recording macros. This file is located in your DATA subdirectory, and can be edited to your likings. Callers can read this file from the "Record Macros" menu. � In the new ANSI's of v1.05, I forgot to add the (T)ransfer Krills option to the BANK.ANS screen. This has been corrected. The BANK.ANS & BANK.ASC screens are also new anyhow! ;> � Added a random event when fighting in the warfields (and getting your butt kicked). This event can only happen if you had an encounter with Boko earlier in the day! ;> � Shareware version can now go up to level 8 instead of 6. There are 15 levels total. � Fixed problem with number of power moves not being reduced by one when players used one during an enemy fight. � Added the "B" option to the menu prompt at the bank (Buy Energy Coins). The option was always available, just wasn't being shown at the prompt like it should have been. � Made the fight against the Raven just a little bit easier. It seemed nearly impossible to beat him sometimes! ;> � When using a power move against an enemy in the warfields, it will no longer automatically kill the enemy, but will almost (if not) double the amount of damage in your hit. What happens after that depends on the enemy's current health and other factors. � Fixed a little typo with gender...the Raven always stated, "I know why you are here little man.." for both male and female players. This has been fixed to reflect the proper gender. � Quit using Pklite to compress the .EXE files. It was causing lockups on some systems running under Qemm. � Fixed problem with cost to hire a player to hire another player to kill another player not being allowed over 32,768. It can now be as high as 2,147,483,647. � Fixed problem with marrying more than one other person being allowed. � Fixed problem with hit men hired by more than one player not getting paid for all of the hits if they were made. � Made the enemy fights just a _little_ bit harder. � Fixed a problem with a cheat code that wasn't giving what it said it gave. � Fixed the (D)ive into pool option to totally revitalize your health like it was supposed to. � Updated (or replaced) a few more of the ANSI's thanx to da MudShaRk! ;> � -Finally- fixed the problem with G5_TMP_$.### files being left on disk in the TEMP subdirectory! Where ### is a random number. These were files containing quoted text when replying to messages. � When reading todays news, and selecting to view yesterdays news, if there was no news for yesterday, it would tell you so and quit showing the news. This has been changed so that it goes back to continue showing todays news instead of exiting from reading the news. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Changes in INSTALL.EXE v1.06 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Will not overwrite your XPORTS.DAT file anymore with a blank one if upgrading from a previous version. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Changes in G5 Setup v1.06 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Fixed help screens for the options, "Register Galaxy 5" and "Quit Setup." Register option was showing the help screen for the Quit setup option when F1 was pressed, and the Quit option had no help screen. � Added an "UNREGISTERED!" reminder after exiting. ;> � Redone the "Register Galaxy 5" option to match the new format of the REGISTER.TXT form. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Changes in G5 Editor v1.06 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Added a "Skill Amounts" editor. This will allow you to set the required amount of skill points needed for each warrior on each level to advance to the next level. This allows you to make the game last longer, or shorten it. Only registered versions will save any changes made via the G5 Editor, however unregistered users can still change the skill amounts by editing the SKILLS.DAT text file in the DATA subdirectory. � Added the option to delete a players mail when viewing their mail (with the [F7] Mail option). You can now press the DEL key to erase all of the players mail which you are currently viewing. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 v1.05 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Increased the possible amount of looks you can get in a random event that awards look points. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Changes in G5 Editor v1.05 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Fixed a BIG time mistake on my part. G5 Editor wouldn't even start up in v1.04, gave a run-time error 103. This has been fixed. Sorry people! :( 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 v1.04 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Fixed problem with invalid G5 codes being used locking up the game. � Got some ANSI's from da MudShark! More coming soon! ;> � Fixed glitch where if you flirted with someone at an inn, asking them up to your room and they rejected you, the game telling the player his/her skill was increased by 1,000, and it wasn't (and still isn't). � Fixed it so that players cannot ask a mate at the inns up to a room if the game is being run clean. � Added a "Searching For Dupes..." message when a new player enters the game, and it searches for duplicate handles. This is just so the caller doesn't think it locked up or something while it is searching. � "Pre-Play Menu" now shows who to give credit to for registering Galaxy 5 for you (if anyone). This is an optional feature to registered users. The name to be shown is set up in G5 Setup. � Fixed bug with taking "Inn Mate" up to a room, and it displaying your amount of money in pocket instead of the name of the inn mate. � Added support for 3rd party authors who do not use Turbo Pascal to write Xports for the game. Refer to the text files located inside the G5_STRUC.ZIP archive for full information. � Fixed problem with level 15 warriors being confronted by a warrior droid without a name, and being progressed to level 16 (which isn't even supposed to exist BTW). � Prices of rooms at the inns are now configurable by the SysOp via a new file located in the DATA subdirectory, INNCOSTS.DAT. There are 15 prices in this file, one for each player rank. � There is a random feature that can happen to players at the bank once in a while, but there was something in the code that stopped it from ever coming up. I fixed that little problem... � Added feature where if a player who does not have a hyper bike kills another player who does, he/she can take the bike from the player he/she killed (if they choose to do so). � Fixed problem with when getting married to someone at on of the inns, it showing that you walked up the stairs with him/her. � Added a new random event in the warfields. Its a deep, dark, black hole in the ground...you'll see! ;> � Made "Warrior Droid" fights a little more challenging. � Added a routine when maintenance is ran that checks the MAIL subdirectory for any mail that exists to a deleted account. Even though when deleting a player via the game, or the G5 Editor, this is done automatically, this was added as an added precaution. ;> � Still working on a problem with EMS memory not being released after Galaxy 5 exits. I got the amount not being released reduced some, but it will still sometimes not give it all back. � Added error checking for proper path names of output scores bulletins. � Added a timer that shows on local screen when/if an output scores bulletin is locked by Galaxy 5 on another node. It will wait 10 seconds, then "unlock" the output file if it doesn't unlock after the countdown and write it (the output file). � Added a percentage status when the game runs maintenence. Shows all the way up to 100% how much it has finished for each maintenence routine. � Added macro support. Its not very fancy, but it works! ;> Refer to GALAXY5.DOC for info on how to use them. � If a player used a power move against a warrior droid, it wasn't decreasing their amount of power moves left. This has been fixed. � Replaced all internal "Light Black (or dark gray)" colors with light blue. The light black color doesn't show up on some comm. terminals. The light black color was color code ~08~. � Galaxy 5 used to write one blank line after displaying any display file. This has been changed. If you are upgrading, and if you choose NOT to install the new ANSI & ASCII screens, then you will more than likely have to edit your own to add one blank line at the end of each file if you want a blank line to be written between the display and the menu prompt. � Fixed problem with "Local Node 1" logons not being able to use Xports. G5 was passing the com port of your node 1 config file to the Xport when being run in local mode, when it should have been passing 0 when the game is being played locally. � Added the ? option at the bank to redisplay the menu. It should have been there from day one, however it wasn't. ;> � Fixed problem with the game not increasing your lays by one if an inn mate agreed to sleep with you. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Changes In G5 Setup v1.04 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � "Reset Game" option now writes new INNTALK*.DAT files, and erases any files that may exist in the TEMP subdirectory. � "Setup Galaxy 5" option is broken up into 4 different categories for easier setup. � Fixed bug under "Node Setup" with setting DORINFO*.DEF systems to DORINFO.DEF and not letting you enter DORINFO1.DEF, DORINFO2.DEF, etc. The program was always setting it to DORINFO.DEF. This has been fixed. � Added new field in "Miscellaneous" under "Setup Galaxy 5" for entering the name of whoever registered the game for you if anyone, or you can put your own name here, or leave it blank. Whatever name is entered here is the name that will be shown at the pre-play menu as "Thanks to John Doe for registering Galaxy 5!" (registered versions only). � SysOps welcome message text file no longer has to reside in your home Galaxy 5 directory. G5 Setup now accepts a full path and file name for your welcome message text file. � Added a field that allows you to turn off loading the overlay file into EMS. � Added options to allow or disallow selling and/or buying of energy coins at the bank, and an option to set the cost of the coins. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Changes In G5 Editor v1.04 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Added "Room Prices" editor under "Prices" on the main menu. This allows you to change the prices of what a room costs at the inns for each player ranking. � Fixed the prices editors so that they only accept numbers (since that is all that is allowed anyhow). � Added a "Saved" box that pops up when F10 is pressed after editing something to let you know your info was saved (registered versions only). 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Changes In INSTALL.EXE v1.04 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Now does a more thorough search for an existing Galaxy 5 directory before asking you what directory you want to install it to (does NOT scan your hard drive, just looks for a few possible directories). � INSTALL will automatically convert your configuration data file for you (if you are upgrading), if it is missing the fields that were added in v1.04 Wide Beta. � Implemented better upgrade options. Now lets you choose which parts you want to upgrade. � Added an internal check for the G5.ZIP file. If it doesn't exist, then INSTALL can not (and will not) continue. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 v1.03 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Fixed problem with a lockup when trying to use one of the cheat codes (I'm not saying where ;> ). � Corrected typo in the 5th planet name. The "raw" name was correct, but the fancy name read the same as the 3rd planet (Bantini). This has been corrected. � Fixed it so that players can not flirt with same person (other player) more than once a day. � Raised skill points needed to advance to next rank for all ranks. Players were advancing much too quickly! � Tweaked the warfield fights a little so that it moves a little faster (and still working on speeding things up). � Changed default colors of the fourth planet (Gorn) from dark and light blue to brown and yellow. The dark blue was just too dark! � Fixed problem with the game not decreasing the amount of medicines a player had on hand after drinking one in a player fight. � Fixed problem with sentences that were too long in the news files not wrapping correctly. � When players enter their own string of text to say in the news after killing another player, or getting killed, changed it so that if they choose no to the "Is This Ok?" prompt, it takes them back to entering their text again, instead of just asking for their feeling again. � Because of the above fix, the amount of text a player can enter when saying something themselves, has been increased to 70 characters instead of 45. � Added a few more feelings to the pick list when asked how you feel after a kill or getting killed. � Added an option when fighting enemies in the warfields that lets you fight your enemy to the death. Choosing this option will automatically keep attacking the enemy until you or the enemy is dead, so use it with caution! ;> � Fixed problem with ~K#~ (highest number of player kills by the person holding this record), displaying a number other than 0 when no one holds the record for highest number of player kills. � Fixed problem in the Help Menu when selecting to download a help file, if RIPTERM.DAT did not exist (text file containing full path and file name of archived RIPterm), it would say downloads were not allowed. The RIPTERM.DAT file is completely unrelated to downloading help files, and only applies to downloading RIPterm. The game was treating it otherwise. This has been fixed. � Included a HELP.TXT file that explains the setup of doors, fossil drivers, locked baud rates, etc. It is primarily for beginning SysOps, who are still unfamiliar with door setup. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Changes In G5 Editor v1.03 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Added the price editor. It allows you to set the prices of weapons, armour, and space crafts (registered versions only). Unregistered users can still evaluate this feature, but it will not save changes. � Fixed problem when editing a "pick file," and it would ask you if you want to save your changes, if you chose yes, it would not save the changes. This has been fixed. � Fixed problem with adding a new player, and the record number not getting set to the proper number. � Fixed cosmetic glitch in the planet editor.

And the dark color code fields help line read that it was the light color code for this planet. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Changes In G5 Setup v1.03 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Added an option that will allow you to enter all of the required registration info, and either print it to your printer, or save it to a file on disk. � Changed the "Create Fresh Data Files" option so that you can now choose which file you want to recreate, or you can choose all. The command line parameter for this option has also changed in order to support this new feature (type G5SETUP /? on the command line for info). � Fixed a cosmetic glitch with the "F2 Pick" & "SPACEBAR Toggle" options not being highlighted when editing the "COM Port #" field under "Node Setup."

By default, these codes are used in the P_KILL.* display files. These display files are shown at the "Kill Other Players" menu. On the line that says, "Player is the meanest murderer in the galaxy with 23 kills!." Sometimes the wrong player would be displayed here as having the highest number of player kills. � Fixed problem with users with only a first name (as read from the BBS drop file) not being able to use Xports. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 v1.01 Wide Beta 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � Made enemy fights a little more smoother. Galaxy 5 now makes a copy of the ENEMIES.DAT file in the TEMP subdirectory dedicating this copy to the current node. This way, the ENEMIES.DAT file does not have to be accessed every time a player looks for something to kill in the warfields. The dedicated copy can remain open until the player leaves the warfields. This copy is also erased after the player leaves the game. � Corrected an error on my part in the G5_STRUC.PAS file (structures to data files used in the game). I changed something in the structure of the G5_MATES.DAT file after I created the G5_STRUC.PAS file, and forgot to make the change in the G5_STRUC.PAS file. To see what it should look like, refer to the G5_STRUC.PAS file. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴
