- Thank you for using EditCON Version 1.0 by Charlie Wiederhold.
-
- This program is the first in a future line of .CON editors for Duke Nukem 3D.
- In later versions, more options will be included, and better overall quality
- will be implemented. This version is to be used ONLY with the Duke Nukem
- 3D Shareware Version 1.1 (Note: This file edits ONLY the USER.CON file.)
-
- First of all, the thing that makes this program unique, is you really don't
- have to store backups of your .CON files to use it. A default reset option
- is implemented into the program. Therefore, if anyting goes wrong, just run
- this program, and select the Reset Defaults option. But, I guarantee that
- nothing will go wrong when using selections within this program. If you
- attempt to edit your USER.CON file on your own, and something goes wrong,
- use this program to correct it. (Note: As stated before, this program will NOT
- correct problems with the other two .CON files. In later versions this will
- be included, but it is not in this version.)
-
- Files needed to run this program:
- EDITCON.EXE
- CURRENT.VAL
-
- To use this program, simply copy these two files into the same directory as
- your Duke Nukem 3D Shareware Version 1.1 files. That is all! Then type
- EDITCON to run. The menus *should* be self explanitory, but to help you out
- in case of any confusion, a listing of all the options is listed below.
-
- 1) Player Info
- A) Max Player Health *The players maximum REGULAR health limit
- B) Max Atomic Health *The MAXIMUM health limit
- C) Start Armor Health *How much armor the player starts with
-
- 2) Weapon Info
- A) Max Ammo *Sets the maximum ammor for each weapon
- B) Weapon Strength *Sets the strength of each weapon
- C) Blast Radius *Sets the blast radius for the RPG and pipe bomb
-
- 3) Edit Boss *Changes the strength of the end Boss
- (Too hard? Turn it down. Too easy? Turn it up!)
-
- 4) Reset Defaults *Resets all the values back to the standard amounts
- from 3D Realms. Especially valuable if you mess up
- your USER.CON file.
-
- As I stated before, it is not necessary to back up your USER.CON file when
- using this program, as long as you are using DN3D Shareware Version 1.1 and
- this program only. If you choose to edit the .CON files on your own... ALWAYS
- make backups in another directory, or rename them.
-
- If you are going to play Duke Nukem 3D over the modem or a serial cable, both
- sides MUST have the EXACT same .CON files for the game to work. Other wise the
- game will become out of synch, or some other wierd things might happen.
- EditCON makes it rather easy to guarantee that both sides will have the same
- .CON files if you both use it, and make the same changes.
-
- Again, thanks for using EditCON Version 1.0. Please, if you find any bugs,
- (there are none that I know of), contact me and tell me. If you like this
- program, that great!! Tell me about it, and give it to your friends who have
- Duke Nukem 3D. This software is free. I do not want any money for it, and
- distribute it with the hope that it will be left in it's original condition.
- If you are interested in how I wrote it, contact me, and I will give you a
- little bit of info. THANKS!
