The Underworld BBS Loader [Underworld BBS (7)]   by Hardcode

────────────────────■ The Underwφrld BBS Loader ■──────────────────────── This is an offcial HaRDCoDE production. Code: Air Richter [HDC] Art: Pinball Wizard Included with this zip file are the loader (compressed with LZExe 0.91) and the FULL assembly source code. The modules are as follows: LOADER.ASM - Main Module / Contains: Main Procedure, Flame Code STARS.ASM - Star Scroller Code (Take a guess!) TEXT.ASM - Text Module / Contains: Font Shader, Text String Processor and Displayer SCALE.ASM - Bitmap Stuff / Contains: Moon Display Routine, Text Display Routines (x scale) LOADER.INC - Global variable/procedure declarations CMDS.INC - Some op/hex codes for certain assembly commands VIDEO.INC - Video port/register constant declarations VIDEO.MAC - Simplified port access macros MOON1.IMG - Pinball Wizard's wonderful moon (in asm binary format) T.BAT - T [asmfile] same as -> TASM [asmfile] /m2 /ml /zi DEBUG.BAT - Links everything together using TLINK FILE_ID.DIZ - Hmm.. Dunno myself.. :) ■───────────────■ Some notes about the loader / source code: 1) The source code is 100% assembly and uses TASM's wonderful IDEAL mode (how could anyone live without it?). So, if you don't have TASM, then I guess you're screwed. 2) I worked on this thing for about a span of two months (yep, a really long time for a small loader), but I do have other pro- jects, including school and Extended MikMod (XMM). 3) I programmed it on a 386DX/25 and have also tested it on Rao's 486DX2/66 (Whoa! And I thought it ran nice on my machine! ;) 4) No, Pinball Wizard is not a member of HaRDCoDE. 5) I have no clue why, but for some odd reason, I have to run debug.bat twice to get the loader to it's smallest possible pre-compressed size. ■───────────────■ Well, here's a HaRDCoDE memberlist (to the best of my memory offhand, so sorry if I left anyone out!): Red Penguin - Organizer/Music/Graphics Rao - PC Coder Air Richter - PC Coder (Me!)
