Diamond Caves II - Registered Version

DamienD · 24 October 2020, 11:30

Heya guys,

I've grabbed "Diamond Caves II" and all extra levels of Aminet.

It's the unregistered version though:

Doesn't anyone know where to a code to turn the game into the registered version from?

...don't worry, found a registration code and it works

The freeware code is on the Aminet readme:

Thanks. Cool that the game lives on via STEAM.

Ok, so have now imported all 34 extra levels.

There were 3 duplicates that I skipped obviously i.e:

... "DC2-EM-BobbyLv.lha" is the same as "DC2Lvl-Bobby.lha"; kept the second official one.
... "DC2-EM-C64Lvl.lha" is the same as "DC2Lvl-C64.lha"; kept the second official one.
... "DC2-EM-GhostLv.lha" is the same as "DC2Lvl-Ghost.lha"; kept the second official one.

I've now completed the following:

Registered the game with code.
Set "Player 1 = Joystick 2" and "Player 2 = Joystick 1".
Added a new player named "Player".
Added in the "Classic" levels by "Peter Elzner" after the original "Tutorial Levels" and "Advanced Levels".
Renamed the "EmeraldMine2" set (DC2-EmerMine2.lha) to "EmeraldMine"; as there is another "EmeraldMine2" set (DC2Lvl-EMine2.lha).
Renamed the "ExpertMine1" set (DC2Lvl-Expert.lha) to "ExpertMine".
Renamed the "POI-PerOneMine" set (DC2PerOneMine1.lha) to "PerOneMine".
Renamed the "XmasMine" set (DC2Lvl-Xmas.lha) to "XmasMine1".
Added in the all extra levels in a nice order:
Deleted any highscore entries from level sets.

"DiamondCavesIIREG&ExtraLevels.lha" is now in The Zone! for any one that wants it

Thank Damien

I've updated the registration code to be the "Amiga User" one.

Replaced .LHA file in The Zone!

Bah, I made one last change...

I've hacked Peter Elzner's "Classic" set to be named "Classic Levels"; just like "Tutorial Levels" and "Advanced Levels":

I can't be bothered to re-create the .LHA archive though; as this takes 1 and a half hours to archive up...

So, if you want this final change:

Extract the "DiamondCavesIIREG&ExtraLevels.lha" to your hard drive.
Extract the "DiamondCavesII_di.lha" (now in The Zone!) to your "DiamondCavesII/data/l" folder.
