---------------------------Legacy Cheat File---------------------------------- by Wild Child After dying too many times and waiting way too long for the endless disk access when loading games I decided to take a peek at my saved games. Initially I had a hard time finding my attributes because they aren't defined in numbers within the game, but I began to look around in the directories that the install program created. In a the sub-dir TEXT, there is another directory called CHARGEN, it contains the initial information used when creating the characters at the start of the game in an ASCII text file called CHARDATA. It seems to be of this general configuration: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= START Mr. Charles Weiss It was announced yesterday that an heir to the Winthrop estate has been found. Mr. Charles Weiss of Bangor, Maine, who... (blah, blah, blah) STATS 2 3 2 2 5 1 1 1 1 0 0 3 0 1 1 0 0 2 5 8 2 -1 -1 START Lucy Weston (etc....) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= All I'm concerned with at the moment are the lines below STATS. The first line is your major characteristics, in the order of DEXTERITY, KNOWLEDGE, STAMINA, STRENGTH, and WILLPOWER. So in this example, DEX = 2; KNOW = 3;STA = 2;STR = 2;WILL = 5. It's good to set those to at least 200, that will give you a large amount of magic as well as health. The next three lines are the individual attributes that are under the DEXTERITY, KNOWLEDGE, AND STRENGTH headings. (such as ELECTRONICS, FIREARMS, MEDICINE, etc.) Generally if you set these to something above 10 (15 works quite nice) you won't ever fail at the things that you try. The next two lines represent the spells that you start with. They are represented in the form of: I think those are pretty much self explanitory. One thing though, you can only have two spells at the start, so make it good ones (Wind of Destruction or Shards of Annihilation are good attack spells), and make sure to use Elixir of Health) I've included the list of spells in the game along with this file. If you don't want any spells... use -1 -1, -1 -1, -1 -1 through the three lines You don't really need a powerful attack spell in the game after you hike your stats up, I was pretty much able to kill about anything with one hit from my briefcase, although Sword of the Shadow kills alot quicker for the nastier monsters. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're already in the middle of a game and don't want to start over then get out your hex editor (Norton's DE, PCTOOLS, or the like) for this next part. A list of the hex offsets for the character's attributes follows: DEXTERITY - 5,282 KNOWLEDGE - 5,284 STAMINA - 5,286 STRENGTH - 5,288 WILLPOWER - 5,290 all breakdowns of those attributes are in even numbered hex locations 5,294 - 5,316 When your character gets low on health or magic(and he/she will!) the hex addresses for your health are here MAXIMUM PRESENT Health 5,262 - 5,263 5,264 - 5,265 Magic 5,266 - 5,267 5,268 - 5,269 Well that's all I've really found out so far... I know the locations of the spells in HEX... but so far I haven't been able to figure out how they are added to your spellbook. If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, flames... etc. Mail them to me at: woof@judy.indstate.edu Hope it's useful! \ /\ / \/ \/ild Child
