ski jump international v3 S J 3 (c) ville könönen 1994-2002 http://www.nomasi.com/sj3/ _VERSION UPDATES_ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Version 3.10 01.02.2002 ------------ * An UPDATE version to v3.00 with some cool little improvements, but the high scores and hill records are still totally comparable! + PROFILES - instead of just jumper names - is one of the more major improvements. Now some extra data of your jumper can be saved and later viewed! The color of the skis can now also be changed. It's also possible to REPLACE a computer jumper in the jumping roster. + REPLAYS - of your finest (or worst) flights can now be saved and analyzed later on. You can also share your greatest jumps with the rest of the ski jumping world by sending them to me. + The HILL RECORDS of the Extra Hills are now saved into the hill files (*.SJH) themselves and they can be viewed from the Hill Records List. And also, the old limit of 20 Extra Hills has been raised to 1000. + GOALS for jumping far can now be set from the Setup menu as there is a small flag drawn by the hill where your goal is on that particular hill. You can even download the goals to match those universal hill records! Mr. Seppo Tolonen is the father of this concept, max respect! + CUSTOM HILL SETS - can now be saved in the revised Custom Hill Selection Screen, a best result from each _saved_ set is also recorded! + The KNOCK-OUT system will be used in the Four Hills Competition, you can disable this in the Setup menu, if you think it sucks. + It's finally possible to CUSTOMIZE the KEYS used for jumping. Available thru the Setup menu. Also a keymap of the keys needed is shown at every first competition. + Also the position of the WIND METER on the screen can be changed. + The hill records and sendme.txt have new thing called A.H.I or ALL HILL INDEX, this is a percentage of how much your hill records are above the critical points of the hill. The bigger the better. + There's a small INTRODUCTION to the game when you first start it up. + You can adjust the STARTGATE from where jumper starts in the Practice mode only. The larger value, the higher speed. + SNOW FALL - is improved and now takes the wind into consideration! + The new Jumpers Profile system has enabled a host of new races to be added to the Universal Hall of Fame at the SJ3 home page. Check them out and keep sending those Sendme's! + A few bugs fixed from v3.00: the Custom World Cup showed the Four Hills list after 8 competitions without asking, the game sometimes crashed when signing up 8 players in the Team Cup and error messages have been somewhat improved. Version 3.00 01.10.2000 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ + Finally, THE NEXT GENERATION of computer simulated ski jumping! Ski Jump Interational v3.00 brings a lot of new and improved stuff. + NEW SCROLLING SYSTEM - with all new eye-pleasing graphics enabling longer and more realistic jumps than ever. + 20 NEW HILLS - and all in real places! + MULTI-LANGUAGE-SUPPORT! As a truly international game, SJ3 will speak Your language! + WATCH THE COMPUTER JUMPERS go at it + KING OF THE HILL - a brand new form of competition! The idea is to jump against human or computer jumpers so that the worst jumper of each round is eliminated. This is continued until only one jumper is remaining - the King of the Hill. Muchos gracias to Mr. Ilpo Korkko who (sort of) came up with the idea! + by popular demand, THE HILL MAKER - build hills yourself and jump in them too. Or you jump in hills you downloaded from the SJ3 homepage, the possibilities are (nearly) endless. See the MANUAL.TXT for more info on this stunning new feature. + CUSTOM WORLD CUP - choose the hills want to take the world's finest jumpers to compete in. Choose from the 20 original hills and up to 20 extra hills. + NEW POINTS SYSTEM - points awarded to the jumper in the SJ3 World Cup are now according to the FIS system, which gives points to the 30 best jumpers with the winner getting 100 points. + QUALIFYING ROUNDS - and joint placings are in full effect also. + NEW MENUS - now in cool blue + BIGGER HISCORE LISTS - World Cup Top 10 --> Top 20! Team Cup Top 5 --> Top 10! And the all new Top 5 4Hills list! + MORE STATS - The statistics page has changed a little with even more stats for your enjoyment. + TOP 5 AT THE MOMENT has been added to the Team Cup Competition also. + JOINTOP - has been updated + The crypting system has been changed somewhat. It's should be even more tamper-proof this time around. Also now the Automatic Hiscore List Updater checks for authentity also. So don't edit those SENDME.TXT's! + Error messages should be a bit better. Version 2.10 18.05.1998 ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Again, lots of new stuff: + TOP 5 AT THE MOMENT - Now you can be better aware of the current situation, since the current Top 5 and the points needed to reach first place (NOTE! _at the moment_, not necesseraly at the end of the round!) are shown on the screen. See the FAQ file for questions. + JUMPER ANIMATION - It may look a little rough, but it's surely better than the former "stick-man". Adds some more feel to the game. And in the _registered_ version you can also choose the color of your jumpsuit. + FOUR HILLS - 4Hills of the Americas has been added as an automatic part of the SJ2 World Cup consisting of round 7 to 10. You can also play the 4Hills separately from the Main Menu. + JOINTOP.EXE - This little program allows you to combine two TOPTEN.SKI files into one. Usage: JOINTOP <1. input file> <2.input file> + Also your jumping order number is shown before the first round jump (xx). Number 50 is first to jump and naturally number 1 the last. + The Scoreboard and the At the Moment screen's results can be shown as differentials. (120.3, -2.3, -3.5...). Just switch it on from the Setup menu. (it is not default) + A few new backdrops for Sao Paolo by Mr. Toni V„litorppa and for Caracas by Mr. Simo Virokannas. Some new stuff in Nairobi too. + There also a FAQ file now. Before you mail me with some question check if someone else has already asked the same thing. + You are able to _zero_ as well as _reset_ the hiscores from the High Scores menu. + There was a minor bug with the style points system. It occasionally left out the wrong two style points. The problem has been fixed now. Thanks to all those sharp-eyed people who pointed this out. + I got rid of that Stats from last season Main Menu option. Was anybody using it? + Oops. There was still some Finnish language left in the Team Cup stats. Corrected that one. Version 2.00 18.12.1997 ^^^^^^^^^^^^ + The new generation of ski jump simulation!!! (Holy Moly!) Lots of new stuff, from a scrolling screen to a realistic wind effect Most of the changes are in the actual jumping process: - scrolling screen; the "camera" follows the jumper during flight - more colorful backgrounds - realistic wind, which has a great effect on the length of the jump. See MANUAL.TXT for more details - jumping made more realistic, jumping obeys the laws of physics a little bit more - up to 10 human players can sign up - two human teams can sign up in Team Competition + There is a REGISTERED version available. Please see REGISTER.TXT on how to impress your friends and own a registered version of SJ2! The SHAREWARE version will have all kinds of irritating limitations: - the number of players is limited to two (2) - no team competition for you, man - You are allowed to try out the game for 30 days before you have to register. It's the law, dude, obey it! Please do everybody a favor, REGISTER, it's very cheap and easy. See REGISTER.TXT on how be super cool and register SJ2! + To avoid misuse and increase the reliability of the TOPTEN.SKI file, it has been crypted with a highly complex crypting mechanism :) Seriously, it does work, so don't try to alter the file + the program creates a SENDME.TXT file automatically when you exit SJ2. Send this file to vkononen@cc.hut.fi to be a part of the Universal Hiscore List. (Don't try to edit this file either) + The date and time of record scores are stored and showed now + Some minor changes to the menus Version 1.71 (International) 4.3.1996 ------------- * First International version. Still under heavy construction... Sit tight. To avoid discriminating non-finnish speaking ski jumping fans, the language of further versions will be _english_ (Sori, j„tk„t) Versio 1.71 20.2.1996 ----------- * Pelaajien ja joukkueen nimet tallentuvat nyt automaattisesti pelist„ poistuttaessa. Kiitokset Sami Saloselle ehdotuksesta. * Maailmanlaajuisen SJ-Top 20-listan kokoamista varten on peliin lis„tty uusi toiminto. Painamalla S-n„pp„int„ KUNNIATAULUT- ruudussa, tallentuu ruudun tieto ENKAT- nimiseen tiedostoon, joka _pit„„_ sitten l„hett„„ tekij„lle. Idea on ker„t„ SJ-kotisivulle Top-20 Lartzancup-sijoitusta ja universaalit m„kienn„tykset. Eli l„hett„k„„ t„m„ ENKAT- niminen tiedosto osoitteeseen vkononen@cc.hut.fi Vastaavasti painamalla S-n„pp„int„ TILASTOT- ruudussa, tallentuu ruudun tieto SKABA- nimiseen tiedostoon. T„m„ tiedosto on hy”dyllinen, jos sattuu tulemaan vaikka loistava kausi ja haluaa j„tt„„ jonkinn„k”ist„ todistusaineistoa kaudestaan tulevaa spekulointia varten. Tietenkin t„ss„ kuten muussakin peliin liittyv„ss„ toiminnassa luotetaan sokeasti l„hett„j„n tietojen rehellisyyteen. * Ulkoasua on paranneltu jonkin verran... mm. ASETUKSET- ruutu ym... * Joukkuem„ke„ paranneltu snadisti Versio 1.7b 6.1.1996 ----------- * Joukkuem„en tilastoissa ollut pienoinen fiba on t„ten korjattu. Muutakin pient„ s„l„„ on repareerailtu. (?) Versio 1.7 27.12.1995 ---------- * Paljon muutoksia: Joukkuem„kicup on syntynyt! Nelj„ pelaajaa, kuusi m„ke„, todella kova kilpailu. Se on viel„ kehityksen alla, mutta ihan pelattavassa kunnossa. * V„h„n animaation yrityst„... Se on v„h„n surkea - anteeksi. Se oli pirun vaikea tehd„, eik„ se n„yt„ oikein hyv„lt„ viel„k„„n. Yrit„n tehd„ siit„ paremman tulevaisuudessa. Sen saa (onneksi) p„„lle/pois Asetukset-valikossa. * Kent„lt„ tulleen palautteen johdosta kaatumisriskiprosentteja alastulossa on helpotettu hieman. Tsekkaa uudet prosentit SJ.DOC:sta... (eiv„t ne ole nyt niin kauheasti muuttuneet) * Mukana on uusi tiedosto CONFIG.SKI. Siell„ s„ilytet„„n Asetukset-valikon tietoja. Ennen ne tiedot olivat TOPTEN.SKI:n per„ss„. Nyt on helpompi s„ilytt„„ vanhat enn„tykset uuden version tullessa. * Lartzan SKIJUMP-kotisivu on nyt pystyss„! Sinne tulee sitten imuroitavaksi aina uusi versio. Sinne tulee my”s kaikkea muuta SJ-s„l„„... Se sivu on viel„ aika alkutekij”iss„„n, mutta yrit„n pist„„ sinne kaikkea mielenkiintoista t„ss„ pitkin talvea. Palaute - kuten aina - on eritt„in tervetullutta. Osoite on: http://www.hut.fi/~vkononen/sj.html """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Versio 1.62 29.11.1995 ----------- * T„ysin ep„m„„r„inen versionumerointi jatkuu... :) * Lis„„ tilastoja. LartzanCup-tilastoissa sarakkeet 1 ja 2 (ei 12) kertovat mahdollisen ep„onnistumisen syyn yhdell„ kirjaimella. Jos syy miksi hyppy ei kulkenut oli: Syy: Kirjain: Ponnistus liian ajoissa........ P Alastulo liian my”h„ss„........ A Kaatui huonoa onneaan.......... K Ei osallistunut (eli ESC)...... E Jotain hyv„„kin: Hypp„si uuden m„kienn„tyksen .. M * F10-superpakon„pp„in on nyt olemassa. K„ytett„v„ VAROEN!!! Se ei kysy yht„„n mit„„n, vaan keskeytt„„ v„litt”m„sti LartzanCupin! Eli nyt ei tarvitse r„mpytt„„ ESCi„ kauan jos haluaa keskeytt„„ Cupin. * SJ.DOC on nyt jonkinmoinen yleisk„ytt”ohjeyritys... PIKAOHJE.DOC on vaan pikan„pp„inohje. * Alastulon kaatumismahdollisuusprosentteja on taasen muutettu... Nyt lyhyet pysyy helpommin pystyss„ ja paljon yli kriittisen venyv„t hypyt taas riskialttiimpia kaatumiselle. Katso taulukko SJ.DOC:ista. Varsinkin t„h„n kohtaan kaipaisin palautetta! Kaatuuko se liian helposti? * Muuta pikku fixi„... Versio 1.6 12.11.1995 ---------- (Hyv„ Isi!) * T„rkein: testauksessa tuli ilmi, ett„ peli„ (lentoa) on voitava hidastaa, no nyt sit„ voi. Asetuksissa on hidastusarvo niminen juttu, sielt„ voi s„„t„„ hidastuksen suuruutta. Nopea 486dx tarvitsee arvon 25-30. Hitaampi kuin 386dx ei varmaankaan tarvitse hidastusta ollenkaan... -> Kun ensimm„isen kerran k„ynnist„t SKIJUMPin, sopiva hidastusarvo yritet„„n laskea monimutkaisella algoritmilla, kuitenkin s„„t”„ on hyv„ suorittaa... Jos tulos on mielest„si p„in persett„, voit kokeilla k„ynnist„„ SKIJUMP komennolla SJ -L, jolloin ohjelma yritt„„ uudelleen m„„ritt„„ sopivaa hidastusta koneellesi. * Ohjelman alussa tehty n„ppishidastus on poistettu. Luulin joskus ennen ett„ hypp„„minen helpottuu kun n„ppis on nopea. Olen tullut toisiin aatoksiin. * Nyt saa tilastot (mielenkiintoiset) ilmestym„„n automaattisesti joka skaban j„lkeen asetuksesta Tilastot. * Sit„ h”lm”„ SINI.TXT-taulukkoa ei en„„ ole. Ei se hy”dytt„nyt mit„„n. Heitin sen kuusen yli Norjaan... viuuh... plumpis! Versio 1.5 29.10.1995 ---------- * Kuvat kaikki PCX-muodossa. Vihdoin. Huomattavasti levy-yst„v„llisempi. * Kun kerran paletitkin meniv„t samaan syssyyn, t„t„h„n voisi levitt„„ sitten pikkuhiljaa... ensin testataan niin perkeleesti... * ei viel„k„„n kattavaa DOC:ia, mutta simppeli.doc on jo aika kattava itsess„„n * EXE:n nimi muutettu SJ.EXE:ksi, ja paketti SJx.xx.ZIP:ksi * Tekij„„ saa kiinni Internetist„: vkononen@cc.hut.fi * Virheilmoitukset ihan selkokielell„ Versio 1.3 23.5.1995 ---------- * 15 m„ke„ eli t„ysi Pohjois-Espoon m„kiturnee!!!

Versio 1.1 20.1.1995 ---------- * Ponnistus- ja lentoprosessia hieman muutettu - ihan tajuttomat hypyt eiv„t en„„ ole mahdollisia * Liian aikaisin ponnistaminen ei rankaise NIIN pahasti, mutta kuitenkin... * Lis„„ m„ki„ (huimia lentom„ki„ ja raakoja pikkum„ki„) * Lis„„ tuulenpuuskia (tuuli tulossa ehk„ jo seuraavaan...) * SUURI muutos alastuloon, hypp„„j„ kaatuu HUOMATTAVASTI helpommin telemarkilla alasotettuja pitki„ hyppyj„ ( >Kr.piste ). Katso SKIJUMP.DOCista kaatumisprosentit. YLIpitk„t hypytkin joutunee ottamaan alas tasajalkaa... (jos Kr.p = 121, niin on mahdollista pysy„ pystyss„ noin 145 metrin hyppy) * Tilastot, lis„„ spekuloinnin mahdollisuuksia... * Pient„ fixi„... kuten tavallista Versio 1.02á 7.11.1994 ----------- * Ensimm„inen levitett„v„ versio...
