---AirBall Cheat by >>Joe User----------------------------------------------- ---Call the InfoManiac: (813)-584-4447----------------------------------------- Note from the Author ==================== Ok, the reason I didn't make one of my regular cheats is that AirBall required modifications which couldn't practically be applied on a relocatable (S16) file. The AirBall cheat is therefore a CDA. This in itself poses a problem, as the program must be searched for in memory (after all, it IS relocatable). The advantages of having extra code space for the cheat in memory, however, outweigh the AirBall-relocation-searcher problems. Because of the CDA, I was able to actually install an extra key-command into AirBall, as documented in the use of the cheat below. How to Use the Cheat ==================== First of all, put the CDA into either your /AIRBALL/SYSTEM/DESK.ACCS/ sub- directory, or in the corresponding subdirectory on your hard drive, if you like to launch AirBall from the Finder or whatever. Reboot your system to get GS/OS to load the CDA. Next, launch either AirBall.Dragons or AirBall.NoDrag. The cheat does not completely work with the dragons version; this is because I like the no-dragons version better. Therefore, you're better off running the no-dragons version. Get to the point where the AirBall is being inflated on those air-blower gizmos, and press Control-Open Apple-ESC. Select "AirBall Cheat by >>Joe User". If the cheat installs fine, it will make a low-pitch to high-pitch chirp and then put you on Quit in the Control Panel. If you haven't loaded AirBall and you try to run the cheat (or AirBall has been damaged), the cheat will wait some time then give you a high-pitch to low-pitch chirp. (The reverse of the other one!) The first thing you'll notice upon returning to AirBall is that you have infinite men. (This works on either the dragons or the no-dragons version.) When you press Control-C, the cheat will give you a low-high chirp, telling you it's on. Your AirBall will no longer leak air, nor will it explode when you stay too long on the blower gizmos, and it is now INVUNERABLE to those various pointy objects lying around the castle. Press Control-C to turn the cheat off again, giving you the high-low chirp. (Control-C crashes in the dragons version.) Hints ===== Having an invunerability cheat can get you into T-R-O-U-B-L-E. The original author of the game (Jason Harper) didn't intend for that little AirBall to be in some of the places you can get it to with the cheat. Therefore, if you find yourself hopelessly stuck somewhere (happens all the time), press Control- C to turn off the cheat. You'll die, but you DO have infinite men, and you'll be returned to the last air-blower gizmo you touched. This is a good reason to land on evey air-blower gizmo you see, even though with the cheat you don't need to use them. Have fun! >>Joe User
