anybody figured how to hex edit bt 1 chars on c64?

My snapshot in VICE won't reload for me, and I don't want to spend days working to get the approximately 10000 exp points on the streets of Skara Brae. I just need a track and sector and what I'm looking for. I've tried using disk doctor, but can't figure out how to find the character/ experience po...

An ambitious project.

I'd like to do a remake of the series as one game. I think I have worked out how to give one party access to all three stories, but on looking at btcs for Amiga, I don't see a way to implement the chronomancer or geomancer. Is this possible? Also, what can I strip from the other games to use, and ho...

heh. every so often I send inExile a letter about this subject. If I ever hear anything, I'll let you know. Try emailing the creators of Bard's Tale. You never know, they might get fired up about the concept.

Where would I get whatever tool I'd need to work on the Amiga version? Or at least, what tool would I need?

I wonder if this is true for other versions. I'd be interested to see if the maps I've made for c64 will hold true on other systems.

I'm going to play through the amiga versions, then see if maybe I can open them in the construction set. If you know anything about doing this, let me know.

try this: go into unterbrae. go to the first crossroads, where you can go straight or turn left. turn around, you should have a battle. leave unterbrae. re-enter and go back to the same spot and repeat. you should have another encounter. If you map encounters like this, you'll see what I mean. I'm a...

Fixing "bad" versions

Has anyone thought about fixing the dos and amiga versions so that slayers slay, breathers breathe, and bosses put up a fight? If someone could start me off somewhere,ie-what language is it in, what do I need to edit said language, I'd start looking into it myself. Slayers and breathers look like th...

How random is random?

Playing the c64 version, I started mapping encounters. I've noticed that the random encounters, at least for me, are few and far between. I have started grinding by apar from encounter to encounter. Has anyone else noticed this in this or other versions?

Couple of issues on winuae w/BT3

My issues are that a)I can't transfer characters for some reason and b)bt3 will not save characters to the refugee camp. I'm using default settings, so are these bugs I haven't heard about or something? Well, aside from the whole slayer doesn't slay, etc. game mechanics being wonky. I did level up a...
