   Hello everyone! I present our new and
quite a cool program "Mis Editor"
this" for the game "Black Raven-1".This is a com-
commercial project, so distribution
with the knowledge of the author!  Although in six months su-
existence, the program has already been distributed
spread throughout Ukraine and according to some re-
gions of Russia without any commercial
result, which is very unfortunate. Xakke-
ry always sit in front of the mirror - on the other hand
on his side, someone is breaking your program.

     ====================

ample opportunities for landscape correction
ta, equipment andcharacter equipment, and
also modification of building capabilities and
objects.                                
                                         
   Wide and full-fledged opportunities have been implemented
opportunities to create a new landscape -

called the opportunity to make traitors and
prisoners.                               
                                         
   From the category of "cool bells and whistles" we are
rotated the field vertically or horizontally

doing nothing in the old shipment, leaving

do the rotation and that’s it - the new mission is ready

   There is another useful gadget in re-

Lprint port. We did not make any settings for
other ports.  Also no initialization

     ====================     
                                         
   We tried to make an external editor
as similar to the game as possible. But a couple of
There are still some Yuansov. So, after a long time
and meaningless disputes, we came to one
new agreement, which is the most acceptable

12x12 bytes with sprite size
2x2, and 24x24 with the size 1x1. Therefore not
be surprised by the “smallness” of the graphics. After working
a little and running back and forth across the field you
you will understand all the charms of this small thing.

something intelligible, so we took it as standard

       WORKING WITH OPTIONS

please, a correction window will appear.  
                                         
   In the character equipment settings window
there is some logical dependence,
although not complete. So, if you go into
window "BUILDINGS" and in your fortress you will order
only infantry/kung, then in"cool mas-
grater"all locations will be turned off, and in "normal
nom trowel"  will only be possible
for the construction of huts and fortresses, yes
and then if it wasthere is some kind of inclusion there. And
on the contrary - if in an ordinary trowel you
you think of building a sawmill, then in the window for
buildings will test the value of your fortress
and, if there is no order for an archer/langol-
era, then the required value will be set
readings.  According to the logic of the game, you can't
be a sawmill without having an archer, otherwise
For whom will you make arrows? Same with
rider - if you ordered/removed the stable -
nude, then the necessary correction is made.

   There are three ways to work with the disk:

ry.  This file is not loaded into the editor!
When recording the shipment, a check was made for
disk cleanliness from any files

the presence of files on the disk will be prompted
once again confirm the correctness of the choice
disk space to record shipment to avoid
accidental damage to information. With file tr-
dos, everything should be clear too. Moreover,
Moreover, the window for entering a name has Help.
But with cuprum file there is a nuance - it goes
already packaged for play. For him

screensaver picture and write it down as a whole
to disk. For further application of this
file it should be adjusted to the standard
copyright game disc or my own

   Unfortunately, we did not implement the correction
tion of the underground mission. There's nothing wrong with this
related, except for rotation. After rotation
along the horizontal axis the cave exits the tor-
cheat who the hell knows where, what besides indignation
can't cause anything else. Maybe more
skip a glitch with the transparency of the walls
when rotating the dungeon horizontally.
The way out of this is to remove all the warriors, cool
neither the playing field, and then arrangeeveryone
fighters again. I came across demoversion-

ditch  Maybe their project is completed as planned
dungeons?                              
                                         
   There is one window, apparently - not
finished.  "Tactical minimum" called

were able to get it from the system variables,
then they put it under editorship. I have on
there are still questions about his account, but not yet
answers.  Judging by the “insane” payback
of this project, new versions of the "Editor"
there won't be any more. People don't want material
but to support the manufacturer - to hell with them!

Max, was involved in hacking the game, mining
useful codes and system ones, made windowed

a lot of small routine work. Valex timesworked automatic placement of buildings
ny, landscape and people. I put in a lot of effort
to drawing landscape sprites in

   Hello, ZX-Spectrum user!
You have the opportunity to purchase a license
sion copy of the game "Black Raven v1.01" in
our modification and new missions.     
                                         
   Your disc differs from the original one -
new version of the game for the better. And the name is
but: we collected from two original discs
everything you need and placed it on one
disk, which significantly affected the cost
games.  We hope that this discount will
price compensates for the lack of instructions and
introductory part, which you are sure
had the pleasure of contemplating in the first ver-
this game released by Vyacheslav Mednono-
gov.                                   
                                         
If you own Pentagon-512 or
its equivalent on a memory expansion card,
then you are given a unique opportunity
the ability to return to the starting game
menu. In fact, it's a replay of the game
without rebooting from disk. In the game menu
instead of "End game" появится надпись

руется  авторская недоработка в плане пе-
реигрывания любой миссии с любой отгрузкиat any time!                  
                                         
   When loading a game from a disc, you can hold
press and hold the enter key until
on the game splash screen. Thus
you can download the game without introductory
cartoon flag.  If you contemplate this

space. Everything else is as usual...
