X_REMAP Power Subsystem 1.34 Copyright 1994 by Matt Hart CompuServe : 75450,3705 X_REMAP is a small TSR (8.4K) which will enhance your X-Wing play. X_REMAP works great with TIE Fighter!!! XREMAP83 is for users without enhanced keyboards -> version 1.35. BUG FIX! X_REMAP now remembers the proper power configuration if it was unable to stuff the keyboard. Also changed the interrupts which it captures -> should solve some of the hang up problems that would occurr from time to time. Look for XPASS.ZIP and TPASS.ZIP, which stuff the passwords into the entry screens of X-Wing and TIE Fighter. These files can be distributed because they do not include the passwords -> you must type those in from your manual. X_REMAP adds these functions - Shield Equalization , Full Engine Power and Throttle, and Full Laser/Shield Power. KEY FUNCTION --- -------- ` Shield Equalization plus Laser Power Transfer - The back quote/tilde key is beneath the ESC key and left of the 1/! key. Press this to equalize the shields and transfer all laser power to the shields. This is the same as pressing sss then the single quote ' key eight times. F11 Full Engine Power & Throttle - The F11 key will transfer all (Shift-Backspace for 83 key) power from lasers and shields to your engines and set the throttle to full. This is the same as manually pressing the backspace key for full throttle and then F9 and F10 until all power is transferred to your engines. F12 Full Laser & Shield Power - The F12 key will transfer power (Shift- for 83 key) to laser and shields until they are recharging at full. This is the same as manually pressing F9 and F10 until your lasers and shields are recharging at full. Shift-Tab Set Default Power Configuration 1 - Set your desired default power configuration using F9/F10 and then press Shift-Tab. This will store it for future recall. For example, for an X-Wing dogfighting TIE interceptors, a good default power would be Shields at Normal, and Lasers to extra recharge. Set this, then press Shift-Tab. Shift-Q Set Default Power Configuration 2 - Same as Shift-Tab, but for a second configuration. Tab Default Power Configuration 1 - Press Tab to change the power configuration to your default 1, which is set with Shift-Tab. Q Default Power Configuration 2 - Press Q to change the power configuration to your default 2, which is set with Shift-Q. NOTE: When starting a new mission, press Shift-F11 to reset the internal power configuration settings. Shift-F11 Reset Internal Power Tracker - X_REMAP keeps internal track (Ctrl-Backspace for 83 key) of the current power configuration. When you start X_REMAP, it is ready for the first mission with Laser and Shield power at normal. If you finish a mission either by hyperspacing out, getting killed, or getting captured, X_REMAP must be reset to recognize the mission default configuration of normal laser and shields rather than its previous setting. CapsLock Ignore Target - This is the same as pressing Shift-I, which tells your wingmen to ignore the craft which you are targeting. I find myself pressing this quite a bit, especially in a dogfight where I don't want to get wasted by my own wingmen. Since I'm right- handed, my right is on the joystick and my left has to stretch from the left Shift to the I. This has the added benefit of disable CapsLock, which, if accidentally pressed, will disable the normal keyboard commands. These functions are especially useful when in the full screen view mode. Full Engine is great when you've just had a missle shot at you. Shield Equalization is very useful when dogfighting large numbers of craft or when attacking capital ships. A default power configuration is especially useful when used with F11 (Full Engines) to zip to a dogfight and instantly reset your dogfighting configuration, all without leaving the full screen viewing mode. It is very simple to add additional functions - X-Wing is a very well behaved program, so let me know if you want more. I'll likely be incorporating many specialty functions in the X-Wing cockpit I'm working on, so I'd appreciate any feedback you can give me. Post to my e-mail or, preferably, [ost a note on the FSFORUM in section 9 - Space Combat. I've included the source code with this latest update. X_REMAP is written in Microsoft Professional Basic version 7.1 and linked with the Crescent Software PDQ library. The BIOSLPrint procedure, which is commented out, was written by me in assembly. All it does is call the standard Int 17h printer handler, which can be easily done in BASIC using CALL INTERRUPT. The PDQ library will work with any Microsoft BASIC version 4.x or higher, including VB-DOS. Enjoy. Matt Hart
