Descriptions of Files on "¯Weeds'¯ Home Page" ================================================ http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/RFNagel Email at: 72672.1450@compuserve.com ================================================ Everything is ¯CardWare¯ (send me a postcard). You will need PKZIP version 2.04g or higher to unzip the files. After unzipping read the txt, readme, or doc file. acnccar.zip This is my custom car for the NASCAR carset. balls30.zip Finally you can choose how many balls that YOU want in EPIC Pinball, even UNLIMITED balls! This new version of BALLS prevents the updating of your high scores (after all, BALLS is just for practice, right ?). bestlap1.zip This program will list and generate a text file with all of your best lap speeds, your fastest opponent's lap speeds and the track records for each of the tracks EXCLUDING the new "Track Pack" currently available for NasCar Racing by Papyrus. bestlap2.zip This program will list and generate a text file with all of your best lap speeds, your fastest opponent's lap speeds and the track records for each of the tracks INCLUDING the new "Track Pack" currently available for NasCar Racing by Papyrus. com321.zip This utility remaps Com3 to Com1 for those pain in the neck games that only support Com1 and Com2 and when you have a zillion things installed in your computer (like me). doom2fps.zip This program uses the excellent game by id Software, Doom II, to do a video benchmark on your system. The results can be used to "tweak" your system for maximum "frames per second". The faster the video speed, the more fluid the game. dumbterm.zip A dumb terminal program for DOS to test a modem or just hold a carrier. Type in AT commands directly to the modem. eballs.zip Finally you can choose how many balls that YOU want in EPIC's Extreme Pinball! You can select 1 to 255 balls (if you need more than that... well you must be worse than I am ). This version of E X T R E M E BALLS prevents the updating of your high scores (after all, E X T R E M E BALLS is just for practice, right ?). f-keys.zip Keyboard Templates for IndyCar and NASCAR Racing by Papyrus. It should work on any Epson compatable printer but may work on others (I have a Panasonic KXP-2123). joymouse.zip This file explains how to use your mouse AND your joystick BOTH at the same time while playing Doom or Doom II. This will give you ultra precise control and quick manuevering when you need it the most! I hold the joystick in my left hand and the mouse in my right, but you can switch hands depending on your preference. joytest.zip A simple joystick testing program. Will work with two joysticks and all four buttons. ncnit12.zip This program changes the palette for NasCar so that it looks like night time or there is snow on the track. This is just for appearance as it does nothing to driving conditions. If you want to you can change the traction settings in each of the track.TXT files in all of the TRACKS subdirectories to simulate snow (the sections are TIRES and TIRE2). No traction hmmm... isn't this just the opposite of what we are all trying to gain ?! For NASCAR version 1.2 ONLY! ncnit121.zip This program changes the palette for NasCar so that it looks like night time or there is snow on the track. This is just for appearance as it does nothing to driving conditions. If you want to you can change the traction settings in each of the track.TXT files in all of the TRACKS subdirectories to simulate snow (the sections are TIRES and TIRE2). No traction hmmm... isn't this just the opposite of what we are all trying to gain ?! For NASCAR version 1.21 ONLY! ncr-opt.zip Opponents too slow? Opponents too fast? Not hot or cold enough for ya? How 'bout a little wind? Maybe you just want to race yourself. This program allows you in NasCar to: Set number of opponents between 0-38. Set opponent strength between 0-255 percent. Set temperature between 0-1000 degrees. Set wind speed between 0-3276 MPH. What fun! Imagine opponents that race at 5 MPH . Set the temperature to 250 degrees and gone are those tire warm-up laps! Or melt the tires in Hell at 1000 degrees. Set the wind to 500 MPH and talk about "goin' with the flow"! ncrintro.zip This file explains how to change the intro replay in NASCAR. You can change the intro replay in NASCAR to any previously saved replay from the Martinsville Speedway track. You will need a hex editor such as Diskedit from the Norton Utilities. ncrsound.zip As you probably have found out in the CD-ROM version of NASCAR the intro music is a little "scratchy". If you have a WaveBlaster or any MIDI setup the intro music will sound better through it than the digital music (my WaveBlaster sounds killer ). In order to change the music you will need a hex editor such as Diskedit from the Norton Utilities. ncrtempl.zip Blank car and palette templates for painting your custom car in NASCAR using a paint program other than the supplied PaintKit. omf-fix.zip These four files fix that annoying little problem when in One Must Fall you go to the "Ordering Info" screen from the main menu and it crashes on "Page 4". Epic left out pages 4, 5, and 6! The three PCX files are simply screen shots of OMF that the program will find in place of those missing pages. Also when you exit One Must Fall have you notice that the ending ANSI still reflects the shareware version of the game even though you have bought it?! OMF_END.BIN will correct this. omfutils.zip These utilities make it a heck of a lot easier to record and play back demos in the game One Must Fall. These little dittys save a lot of command line typing. You must have One Must Fall version 2.0 or higher (this is when demo recording and playback was added to the game). *NOTE* CD version (if there is such an animal) *MUST* be fully installed to the hard drive. pb-cheat.zip ALL of the Cheats for ALL of Epic's Pinball games. Epic PinBall (ALL Paks), SilverBall, and Extreme Pinball. sballs20.zip Finally you can have UNLIMITED balls for EPIC SilverBall! This new version of SILVERBALLS prevents the updating of your high scores (after all, SILVERBALLS is just for practice, right ?). scpaint.zip These two PCX files are replacement background screens for the "Paint Shop" menu in the PaintKit that comes with NasCar by Papyrus. With SCPAINT1.PCX you can change the colors for the numbers that identify each of the body panels. With SCPAINT2.PCX not only can you change the colors of the numbers, but the body panels are outlined with a color changeable grid. If you've ever had a heck of a time trying to see the different body panels when painting them then you'll love this! sdt.zip This program will calculate speed, distance, and time for all of the tracks (including the new "Track Pack") for NasCar by Papyrus using formulas and track distances from my SDT.TXT file. The SDT.TXT file shows the ACTUAL length of the tracks in the game. sdt-text.zip This file lists all of the track distances for ALL of the tracks for NASCAR and IndyCar racing by Papyrus. If you are having problems calculating speed, distance, or time in NASCAR it is because the track distances in NASCAR are actually LONGER than the real track distance! This chart reflects those differences, hence the strange numbers for NASCAR. setup.zip These two files (ICRSETUP.WRI and NCRSETUP.WRI) are setup sheets in Windows Write format for NASCAR and IndyCar by Papyrus. trecord.zip Isn't it great in NasCar that the game keeps track of your best lap for all of the tracks? If you've ever "poked around" in the RECORDS.TXT files for each of the tracks you'll notice that the game also keeps track of your opponents best speeds (my program "BestLaps" will display them). The only problem is that the "Track Record" never gets updated! This program will update each of the "Track Records" for each of the tracks EXCLUDING the new "Track Pack" currently available for NasCar Racing by Papyrus to the best lap time for that track. If you or an opponent (AI or multiplayer) break a track record it will be reflected in the game. If there is a tie between you AND an opponent, YOUR record will be posted. If there is a tie between you OR an opponent AND the existing record, the EXISTING record will stand. trecords.zip Isn't it great in NasCar that the game keeps track of your best lap for all of the tracks?

If there is a tie between you OR an opponent AND the existing record, the EXISTING record will stand. tv-cheat.zip A L L of the Cheats, Debug Keys, Secret Keys, and Command Line Parameters for Terminal Velocity. tyrutils.zip These utilities make it a heck of a lot easier to record and play back demos in the game Tyrian. Also LOOT.COM will give you mucho $$$. These little dittys save a lot of command line typing. *NOTE* CD version (if there is such an animal) *MUST* be fully installed to the hard drive.
