BardsMaker II
The Bards Tale II Character Editor By Alan Bell. 5/2/89
Written for ST/AMIGA FORMAT
Note: If you are familiar with BardsMaker you may skip these instructions
This program allows the user to edit or create from scratch a
standard Bards Tale II character file, which can be loaded into
'The Bards Tale II' by Electronic Arts.
On loading, you will be presented with a default status form.
At the top of the screen is a customary menu bar containing 6 Menus.
These are as follows;
1:- Project Menu
2:- Race Menu
3:- Class Menu
4:- Attributes Menu
5:- Statistics Menu
6:- Spell Levels Menu
The Project Menu
This menu follows the usual format, allowing the loading and saving
of character files. The 'Save' option only operates after a previous
'Open' or 'Save as' operation. It is also disabled after 'New',
which resets the values to the default character setting.
Character Files in 'The Bards Tale II' are saved with a prefix
of 'TPW.' and a suffix of '.C'.
eg. The character MARKUS is saved as 'TPW.MARKUS.C'
Fortunately, this program recognises this fact and adds these pieces on.
All you need to do is supply the name of the character and, on single
drive machines, swap disks whenever prompted.
Race Menu
Using this menu, you can select the race of your character simply by
highlighting it with the pointer. A mark will be placed by the side to
indicate the current selection.
Class Menu
This menu operates in exactly the same way as the race menu just
described.
Attributes Menu
All the parameters in this menu require a numerical input. Just choose
the option you wish to change and type in the new value at the
prompt, followed by <RETURN>. Minimum and maximum values are displayed
in brackets.
Statistics Menu
This menu operates in exactly the same way as the Attributes menu
just described.
Note: If your character is non-magical, you will not be able
to select options relating to spells.
Spell Level Menu
Providing your character has a magical class, you can use this
menu to adjust the spell levels of each of the five mage levels.
This menu operates in the same way as the attributes menu.
