FRONTIER TRAINER ---------------- This trainer has a lot of interresting features and gives you a lot of fun (ever flown a long range cruiser? No! With this trainer your dreams will become true!!!). IMPORTANT --------- This programm can be freely distributed as long as no fee is charged on the programm or the documentation. You use this programm at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage caused by this programm in a direct or indirect way. INSTALLATION ------------ This is a very simple task because the programm does not need to make any modifications on the original frontier programm. All what you have to do is to start frontier through the trainer. Make a copy of your original game and copy the file "FrntTrainer" to the copied disk. Delete all in the startup-sequence and write "frnttrainer frontier". The stack command is not necessary because the trainer sets the stack correctly (80 kB should be enough). Now, boot from this disk and wait until the game starts. HOW TO USE THE TRAINER ---------------------- Press the "DEL" key to activate the trainer (you will see a short green flash). Press it again to deactivate (now the flash will be red). If the trainer is active following options are avaiable. press LEFT SHIFT and P - Increases the number of shields D - Selects the next higher hyper-drive-class (have you known that the military drive class 4 is not the highest one, there is a unknown hyperdrive with the same jump distance as the hyperdirve class 8, but it uses military fuel) S - Selects the next ship (Wow, Longe Range Cruisers and Lynx Bulk Carriers are NOW avaiable and you can take a look at the famous thargoid ship... it looks like a pink frisby in space) If you want to fly a ship with its initial specifications just sell it and by it back, and you can take a look at the datas of the ship: thruster acceleration, crew members and so on. But never sell the thargoid ship - the game will crash! 0 - Increases the number of gun mountings (4 is the maximum). 1-4 - Selects the next larger gun on the front, the back, the top or the bottom turret. Please notice that there are different sizes of each gun type. If you want to change your gun type you have to press the key a few times. R - Clears the criminal records... YEAHHH I'm so clean!!! C - Increases the number of cabins by one. Y - Increases the cargo space by 100 t (up to 8000t). M - Increases money by 10'000'000 credits. F - Fills the internal fuel tank. I - Changes the ship-id to "TERROR". A - Press this one and shoot a ship. You will be on the next level in your combat rating Q - Same as "A" but for federal rank. Just press it and do a delivery mission and you will get a reputation. W - Same as "Q" but for your imperial rank. REMARK: Don't forget to collect all medals by flying each mission type one time press RIGHT SHIFT and P - Decreases the number of shields D - the next lower hyper drive class. S - the previous ship (you can even fly missiles and mines) Get the missile, sell it and by it back and you will fly a "ship" with 60.5 g main thruster acceleration (12.1 on the retros). If you use LEFT SHIFT and "S" again you can fly every ship with this incredible acceleration values! I recommend you to play some 'cat and mouse games' with pirates and police vipers (it's really funny!!!). Switch to the outside view and take a look at the thrusters of an Imperial Courier or Trader with maximum acceleration- WHHHOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!! 0 - Decreases the number of gun mountings. 1-4 - Selects the next smaller gun on the front, the back, the top or the bottom turret. C - Decreases the number of cabins Y - Decreases the cargo space M - Decreases money I hope you will have fun with this little cheat programm. It was coded in OBERON-II. I did my best to make the trainer safe, but sometimes the game will crash, especially changing the ship on the fly is a little bit dangerous! Save your game frequently while you are using the trainer! Don't worry about some graphic trash that will appear some times. You can prevent this by reducing the size of your gun. Please forgive me David Braben (and all others of the programming team), I've not cracked your wonderful game! I bought the original german release and played it until I got the rank of a Colonel. After this I was bored to death because the next ranks seem to be unreachable, so I decided to write a little cheat. PLEASE REMARK : THIS PROGRAMM DOES NOT REMOVE THE COPY PROTECTION!!! I NEVER WROTE AND I NEVER WILL WRITE A FRONTIER-CRACK! Greetings to Mr. Braben and his developping team (and every frontier-hero!), great game, great programm, please continue, we all are waiting for FRONTIER-II!!!
