*NOTE: Some of the cheats are version specific (i.e. CDROM, disk, etc...). If
it does not work, you don't have it. Proper entering of filenames is VERY
important. If you misstype anything you will usually get dumped back to DOS.
No damage, just a pain in the neck.

To get to the hidden planet (planet 0), at the log-in screen enter "Terminal"

Debug Keys
==========
While in any of the menus, hit these key combinations.
<ctrl> B - Terminal Video Interface
2 - Playback a .TVI movie file
To playback a .TVI movie file enter in the filename, no path (use Video
Directory below).
<ctrl> D - Mute sound
<ctrl> F - Mute sound
<ctrl> L - Mute sound
<ctrl> M - Play internal or external .MOD music file with oscilliscope
To play an internal .MOD music file enter in the filename (use MOD Directory
Directory below). To play an external .MOD music file enter in the filename
with complete path (if you screw up you'll get dumped back to DOS).
<ctrl> P - Play internal or external demo
To play an internal demo enter in the filename (use Demo Directory below). To
play an external demo enter in the filename (if you screw up you'll get dumped
back to DOS). External demos MUST be located in the TV\DEMO subdirectory (see
below).
<ctrl> R - Record external demo
To record an external demo you MUST create the subdirectory \DEMO in your \TV
directory (i.e. CD\TV <enter> and MD DEMO <enter>). Then after hitting <ctrl>
R, enter in the filename of the level that you wish to record the demo on (use
Level Directory below). Again if you screw up you'll get dumped back to DOS.
The demo recording seems to be limited to a very short period of time (if
anyone figures out how to lengthen the time e-mail me). Record your demo and
then when prompted enter in a filename to save your demo to.
<ctrl> S - Module / Sound Debug Menu
1 - Load Module (internal or external, see <ctrl> M
above)
2 - Sample Testing
<A-Z, 0-9> - Play sample
<ctrl> Z - Video / frame rate test
Command Line Parameters
(caps are important)
=======================
-pause - Pauses the initial loading screen
-turbo - Increases game speed by 50%
-hyper - Increases game speed by 100%
If you are good with a hex editor you can re-define the Cheat Keys to whatever
you want. Simply search for the cheat key in the GAME.EXE file and change it.
To change the music, create the subdirectory \XMUSIC in your \TV directory,
search for and change the entry "Pmusic" in the GAME.EXE file to "Pxmusic" (the
"c" will overwrite an existing hex(00). Then rename some of your .MOD music
files to the filenames listed in the MOD Directory (see above), and copy them
to the newly created \XMUSIC subdirectory. Bingo! New music! BTW, SEX.MOD is
the menu music.
Make sure you backup your GAME.EXE file in case something goes wrong. DO NOT
try these hexes unless you are experienced using a hex editor!
If you are short on space on your hard drive and you have a fast CDROM drive
you can force Terminal Velocity to find the files CDROM.POD and STARTUP.POD
(these two files total up to 36 megs!!) on your CDROM drive instead of the hard
drive. Erase the files CDROM.POD and STARTUP.POD in your \TV directory and
start up TV like this:
LH APPEND <letter of your CDROM drive>:\TVINSTAL /X:ON <enter>
TV <enter>
The Disclaimer
==============
..(gotta have it this day in age when people sue M.D. Lounge for spillin' hot
coffee on their lap while driving their car)...
These cheats represent HOURS of twiddling and are given in good faith. I am not
responsible if you re-format your hard drive, your computer (or spaceship)
blows up, something catches on fire when you type in "triBURN", you lose your
mind, etc... etc..., but they sure work great on mine!
