The 3D0 version comes with new cheat codes AIUI, at least one of which

Would it be wishful thinking for the old cheatcodes to work?
I've got them saved somewhere, but remember 'MOPPITCAT01' gives you
10,000 credits. The other code(s) was quite complicated, but I'm sure I
wrote it all down.
If the above code works I'll try and find them somewhere on my HD and

SF3000:TNG controls

groups...@googlemail.com — Wed, 04 Apr 2008 16:43:08 UT

There appear to be undocumented controls and features for SF3000:TNG.
ECM - E
Also, what keys magnify/move/rotate the map?
There's a lock-on facility - how?
Saving - do you have to quit the game and select save in the front-end
menu?
Are there keys for calling on the rest of the team as in the original?

Yes, I've put a 320x256 from an AFK65 file as Doug Webb suggests and
it's working! First impressions - interface not half as good as SF3000
but presumably this is because it came from a console.
You can see the difference in the graphics straight away but

I had this error message and the Shared Sound module, in my copy of
!System was called SSound ( or something similar) so I changed it to
what the error message wanted it called and put it in the place it
stated it should be and that seemed to cure it.
Perhaps you don't have the correct MDF available for Star Fighter

I can't get it running at all: the graphics at the start appear
repeated in a row above the desktop, then the credits appear ok then I
get an error "mode not available" (or thereabouts) and the machine
crashes. (Also it says "Shared sound not found" despite it being

No - still got 2k words of a 3k report to do and some serious fixing
of my webpages- they currently suck!
Still I've got until mid day Friday so if I cut out sleep......

The texture mapping and depth grading (or whatever the term is) was
quite impressive and better than Wolfenstein and Doom IIRC, which it
preceeded (and was an original not a conversion).

Most screenshots are likely to be embarrassing rather than decent due to

The bitmaps weren't brilliant to start with but it was the nearest we

Andrew- yes I occasionally lurk here while avoiding OU assignments!
Thanks for the info- its been bugging me as I'm almost sure I had a
demo which matched the description but coudn't find it on any of the
disks lurking in my office.
Will pass the info on in the next Quill! (if thats ok?)
