JR+ beta 2 released

[Troodon]

In the JR+ beta 1 ReadMe file I promised I would also release a performance-enhanced beta 2, if and when possible. Here it is:

http://www.geocities.com/troodon_jr/levels

Yahoo only allow one download of that file per hour.

Do not delete your previous JR+ files yet. The 4.8MB jrplusb2.zip archive that you can download from the URL above contains three files:

jr.scn
jrk.scn
jr.grf

Just replace the old JR+ .scn and .grf files (jr.scn and jr.grf) with the new ones. File jr.scn should work with all CPUs and Tres executables. File jrk.scn was generated on an AMD K6-2 machine. If your CPU is a K6-2 and you are using one of the K6-2-optimized Trespasser executables then try jrk.scn rather than jr.scn for a potential further increase in FPS; if your Tres executable is not K6-2 optimized then it will likely crash upon/after loading jrk.scn. To find out what CPU is your trespass.exe optimized for, right-click the file, select Properties, then click the Version tab. To my knowledge, there are only two K6-2-optimized Trespasser executables:

tpassk6.exe (CD-ROM) "1.0.116.0 Trespasser K6-2 build"
trespass.exe (Patches) "1.0.117.0 Trespasser K6-2 build"

Enjoy!

Credit for the enhancements goes to our Honorable Engineer.

Cool Andres! I can't wait to torture it with Winex3!




Congratulations Troodon! I haven't played the first JR yet, but when I can get through all this stuff I'm going through now, it will be the first one I'll play!

Andres is to be congratulated for his breakthrough. He kindly allowed me to use a beta version of that utility for debugging purposes and, as it seemed to work with jr+, he agreed that I publicly release the updated files.
