Short: A dungeon master save file Type: game/hint Architecture: m68k-amigaos --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Below is a transcript of the documentation that came with the save game: NB: Not everything is applicable to this archive. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This file (DMGame.dat) is a Dungeon Master save file, with 4 characters on level 1, just before the entrance to the stairs area. All four characters are Artisan Level in Fighter, Ninja, Priest and Wizard class, and have Health 999, Stamina 999, and Mana 512. They all have all personal characteristics (strength, etc) of 176. They have between them: Samurai Sword Axe Mail Hosen Leather Jerkin Leather Pants (2) Leather Boots Suede Boots Ghi Trousers Pants Tunic Torch (1) These Characters should make investigating the Dungeon of Anaias much less difficult, and keep you from becoming frustrated. You get experience for bashing doors and critters (fighters) throwing things (ninjas) casting spells (priest and wizard) You'll get more experience for fighting creatures than for hitting doors, and more for doing it lower down in the dungeon. The Ability Levels in Dungeon Master are: Neophyte Novice Apprentice Journeyman Craftsman Artisan Adept Expert LO Master UM Master ON Master EE Master PAL Master MON Master ArchMaster It takes twice as much experience to reach the next level of ability as the last level took. For those interested, these characters were edited by creating a DM disk with the Aux-Handler inserted into the startup sequence to create a cli on the serial port. using another computer, and a debug utility (ddt) the characters are found in (fast/slow) memory, and their abilities modified. Levels of ability were gained by setting experience to one less than the next level, then doing the appropriate action to gain some exp., letting the game do all the setting of other things attendant on level raises. The game was then saved normally, and the enclosed DMGame.dat resulted. To use this file, create a Dungeon Master Save disk (with the games format option, or by formatting a disk with DOS with the correct name) and copy the DMGame.dat file enclosed onto that disk. You can now use the "resume" option of DM to start this new group of heavy hitters.
