- 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.
