Short: V95.Dec.12 - 2 player game Modem/NullModem/Ami-TCP Author: dhomas@youngmonkey.ca Uploader: dhomas@youngmonkey.ca Type: game/2play GridLock is a 2 player game, with an original concept. Support for Modem, Null-Modem and Ami-TCP connections. Mouse, joystick and keyboard supported. Kickstart 1.3+ This is an update to 94-Dec-10. New In This Version =================== REGISTERED VERSION ------------------ - Added the possibility of Teleport generation failures. This can cause random destruction/generation of Energy Beams in a stream starting from the failed teleport. - Increased the speed of the Health buildup at beginning of game. - Implemented Health Rejuvenation Overload which occurs if you do not move for too long. - Added Rejuvination Overload sound. UNREGISTERED VERSION -------------------- - Changed device open/close routines so that GridLock now works under 1.3 again. - Updated email and mail address. - Changed Kill-GridLockPort script to use 'localhost' instead of '$HOSTNAME' and 'gridlock' instead of 'GridLock'. - Changed TCP service entry to all lowercase. Change your db/services entry to 'gridlock' instead of 'GridLock'. It seems to be standard and most people were doing that way anyway (which would not work before). - Added 'Service NOT found' as a detectable error message for TCP. - Realized that the open/close routines were not the only thing wrong under 1.3. For some unknown reason 1.3 does not like certain characters to go across the serial line. Changed them so they are no longer transferred. - Moved Control preferences to menus so you can change the control device during game play. - Added Keyboard control. - Added error #205 to 'Port NOT found' error message for TCP. - When prompted to 'Press ANY key' at the end of a game, you many now press the left mouse button instead. - 'Press ESC to QUIT' message directive added for lockups that occur when the opponents computer has crashed when ending game. - Changed the game won 'GridLock' indication to a timed display rather than ended by a key press. - Slowed down the speed of the Health buildup at beginning of game to encourage registration. :) - Fixed a bug in the Health routine that caused parts of the screen to be erased if Health went below 0. - Fixed a few errors in the documentation files. - Added Rejuvination Warning sound. dhomas trenn ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 852 285 66.5% 21-Mar-95 16:17:28 GridLock.info 129 99 23.2% 10-Dec-94 13:18:26 +Deutsche 834 309 62.9% 10-Dec-94 11:43:08 +Deutsche.info 48560 14389 70.3% 12-Dec-95 18:21:44 +GridLock.ansi 46958 14170 69.8% 12-Dec-95 18:22:16 +GridLock.txt 1622 836 48.4% 10-Dec-95 20:17:32 +GridLock.txt 90740 38271 57.8% 12-Dec-95 18:32:38 +GridLock 40992 10320 74.8% 12-Dec-95 15:46:12 +GridLock.doc.pic 43687 14511 66.7% 12-Dec-95 18:06:52 +GridLock.guide 851 315 62.9% 16-Jun-94 13:47:50 +GridLock.guide.info 2921 569 80.5% 10-Dec-94 13:14:48 +GridLock.info 17400 3216 81.5% 25-Nov-95 13:38:06 +GridLock.pic 32216 2812 91.2% 20-Nov-94 19:12:56 +GridLock.pic2 8364 3689 55.8% 05-Nov-90 13:45:54 +GridLock.RAW 1441 767 46.7% 10-Dec-95 20:16:58 +GridLock.txt 10724 4783 55.3% 10-Dec-93 20:39:02 +Soound1.RAW 14760 10465 29.0% 10-Dec-93 21:09:30 +Soound2.RAW 1022 477 53.3% 10-Dec-93 14:38:48 +Soound4.RAW 8594 6654 22.5% 10-Dec-93 13:59:30 +Soound7.RAW 19456 13618 30.0% 10-Dec-93 14:32:54 +Teleport.RAW 37 37 0.0% 25-Nov-95 13:57:56 +Kill-GridLockPort 834 299 64.1% 10-Dec-94 13:32:18 +Kill-GridLockPort.info 3160 2261 28.4% 17-Sep-93 22:34:40 +IFF.library 171 127 25.7% 10-Dec-94 14:24:58 +ImportantNote.txt 2688 1969 26.7% 04-Jun-91 09:24:06 +IFF.library 1203 726 39.6% 10-Dec-94 13:33:52 +GridLock.guide.info 4161 2114 49.1% 10-Dec-94 12:55:48 +GridLock.info 1190 733 38.4% 21-Mar-95 15:51:26 +Kill-GridLockPort.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 405567 148821 63.3% 13-Dec-95 01:10:28 28 files
