(new game levels)
(C) 1998 DIV & MAX
------------------------------------------
It was in the evening,
There was nothing to do.
Our hands are not for boredom...
Few people remained indifferent to the new game.
re Vyacheslav Mednonogov"Black Raven".
Here is our group under the provocative name
Compu-Studio Ltd got sick of this funny
and an exciting game. I'm probably more
hit harder than the others - published a magazine with
clearly plagiarized title. But
My case was not the most severe. Zhur-
cash in a magazine - I would have released it anyway. And not
it is important what name - even "Red Hen"
or "Blue Santa Claus". But there is among us
one guy who went further than usual
playing. First I made a couple of my own
levels in the form of shipments from the TR-DOS disk.Naturally, I first disassembled
tiles structure of the playing field, classic
identification and numbering of players, buildings and equipment
plantings, performed titanic work on
studying the intricacies of the game algorithm. Pseudo-
This guy's name is DIV.
The next stage is the creation of a full-fledged
level editor for the first version "Crow"
for use with wide layers of Spectrum-
Russian population of the former Union. Against the background of pa-
The trend of interest in the Spectrum is quite strange -
no desire, but aren’t we all eccentrics,
that we are all still sitting on this platform
meh? Therefore, I strongly welcome and support
I support his endeavors, DIV`that is. If
some of you reading these lines have
desire to help or join
to the fruitful work of my friend - mi-
We ask for your kindness to our hut. Accepted
any help!
And now more specifically about what
we need to release new levels to
game: graphics first!!! We don't have enough
makes a great artist, so he sends
send your masterpieces to the editorial office of the journal
nala. The themes of the drawings are the same as in
copyrightversions of the game - swords, shields, horses -
di, peasants... In short - ancient Rus' or
something like that.
The second tense moment is the music. U
one of us had a talent as a musician
from my friends, but since frequent breakdowns
computer and moods become the cause-
Noah his depression, then there’s not much hope
you have to rely solely on your own strength, so don’t
hesitate - send your music for the game,
if you think it fits the plot. B
As a last resort, we’ll put it in the journal.
Now let's move on from the lyrical part
narration to practical. In the application
there are two code files:KUNGI_7and LUDI_7.
These are nothing more than levels for the game in the form
game state shipments. But due to special
the benefits of storing information on disk are these
files must be written in a special way,
so that "Raven" could read them from the disk and
give you the opportunity to enjoy the delights
mi new situation.
So, we take an assembler that is convenient for you and
we take the following from it. But it's not worth it
be afraid of those who are just a user on the computer -
re - not hereничего сложного - сделайте
всё правильно и "всё у нас получится".

Now compile the resulting algorithm,
don't forget to insert the disk with the file
"KUNGI_7". After that, take a blank disk
TR-DOS format and run the object code from
addresses 25000. This way you will get a stan-
gift shipment of the game state with new
measures seven. Next, load the game and select
menu item "Continue game". Upon request
indicate the shipment number "game 7". That's all. For

In the sample example, substitute the name of a human
file "HUMAN_7". Repeat the operation to record
si again and enjoy.
To create new levels by Igor Dolgov
(DIV) was pushed by two things: sports in-
interest and the news that Mednonogov was
fell to hackers for a large-scale
the program protection is broken almost simultaneously
throughout the entire Union and therefore refused
do "Black Raven-2". As it later turned out
moose these were nothing more than evil rumors, but
the matter has already moved from a dead point,
so we will release our own version of new ones
levels. In the longer term
our plans to analyze "Black Raven"
spare parts and then assembling a new game on
its basis. Work to extract useful
codes have already begun, so by the beginning of spring
1999, I think and hope to release that
Who is the direction of the game, like "The Raven".
The working title for now is "Voron-2".But if
Tsvetmetkopytkin will still release the original
before us, then we will change the name
for something bloodier. Action and plot
We don’t know yet what we’ll come up with, but believe me
Let's just say it will be interesting. As usual -
everyone who wants to participate is invited to
fruitful cooperation.
