Mind Rover: The Europa Project Patch

New Features in v1.08

• Support for WindowsXP: Please read the Install instructions below.
• New components:
  • Radar Detector- Produces a TurnOn event when you enter into someone's radar field
  • Demux- Triggers one of several events, depending on a given input value
  • Sequencer- Triggers a set of events in a well-defined order
  • Finite State Machine- Allows the player to define rover states and transitions between the states
  • Joystick- Allows the use of a joystick to input various commands to a rover
  • JoystickButton- Allows the use of buttons on the joystick to control rover actions
  • Karma Variable- Acts exactly like a regular variable, but the value it holds persists even after a rover has been destroyed and repawns
  • StartUp - This isn't new but it supports the KarmaVariable with new events: Respawn and Start. The Start event will trigger only at the start of a scenario. The respawn event will trigger when the vehicle is respawned. See the F1 help.
• Note that the JoyStick components are not allowed in most of the challenges since that defeats the purpose of the challenge. You will find these components in the TestingGround scenarios. Also, there is a cheat that you can type into the command line within the game to allow all components: 'authorizeall 1' -- then leave the scenario and re-enter it to get all components -- have fun!
• Some short cut keys: Alt G - Go, Alt S - Scenarios, Alt V - Vehicles, Alt W - Wiring, within the competition: ESC - pop up window Alt I - Instant replay, Alt P - Play again, Alt C - Continue, Alt R - Return to console, others: Alt Q - quit Alt C - credits Alt O - options
• Vehicles can now be recompiled inside of MindRover. This makes it possible to alt-tab out to a text editor and change the ice file manually and reload it without having to restart the game. In the console, type: "reloadvehicle" to recompile the vehicle. - If you have the RCX addon pack, these robot components will now show up in holobox rows of their own. They won't get mixed in with other MindRover components.
• You can download your RCX robot from within MindRover. Type 'Run RCX' in the command line.
