Manic Miner Fixer Tool

[Spider]

A small simple tool to remove all the 'fire' cells amongst others.

 

Its quite flexible in that it works with the Bug Byte / Software Projects / Ventamatic and MAD releases and it also appears to work well with third party games although this is not guaranteed.

 

Its a simple find/replace in effect. To use it simply load it.

 

If you have already loaded the Manic Miner game code: just RUN it.

If you have not loaded the game code: RUN 9000

 

Once its finished, you'll be returned to Basic where you can either start the game via USR 33792 or save the resultant code if you prefer.

 

To actually edit it, lines 150 to 340 are the ones to change. :) , each line represents a cavern. Basically it looks at their values and replaces them. For an example, the second line is for the the Cold Store:

 

160 DATA 12 , 13 , 0 , 8 , 8 , 0

 

This is simply:

 

The Nasty1 value: 12

The Nasty 2 value 13

The Extra value 0 (as its not used here)

 

Then the following three are their replacement values:

 

New Nasty1 value: 8 (air)

New Nasty2 value: 8 (air)

New Extra value: 0

 

The reason for actually having separate values for replacements for the Nasties is simply to allow flexibility. A prime example is The Warehouse as that has both "poison flowers" and "X's" inside the crumby cells. If we were to set them both to zero then there would be gaps, using separate values allows us to for that screen change the "poison flowers" to air cells and set the "X's" to crumby cells to match.

 

310 DATA 6 , 33 , 0 , 0 , 68 , 0

 

The Nasty1 value: 6

The Nasty 2 value 3

The Extra value 0 (as its not used here)

 

Then the following three are their replacement values:

 

New Nasty1 value: 0 (air)

New Nasty2 value: 68 (crumbly)

New Extra value: 0

 

This will become very self explanatory once you've looked. :) The program should not need any immediate modification, it will work well 'as is' although you could modify it to do other things too. Enjoy.
