*The Adventurers' Guild

Ok, I disassembled track zero, sector zero of the BT1 boot disk. I have added copious comments to the code so you should read the thing with a very LARGE screen. :D http://filebin.ca/kueup/compasm2.txt *** EDIT: I made a mistake: NOMON is the DOS command to turn off monitoring of DOS stuff. MON woul...

Monks are already paying off - I've levelled my monk up enough that his AC just PLUNGED to LO after only level 16ish? and being equipped with a Mithril Scale. And I got rid of his Mithril Axe and damn he's killer with his bare hands - can strike 4 times for ~100 pts of damage. I'm gonna love this gu...

Well, I dunno what else you could do, those are your three options

mmmkaaaaaaayyyyyy, so find another one?

Or you could date men. Or space aliens.

You know, I didn't check that out. The time I used just the frost horn (or flame horn?) the counter incremented by one for my guy. I didn't check the other characters though. I'll look into it tonight or tomorrow.

Date them?

As noted elsewhere by ZeroZero, my initial supposition was wrong; the bytes involved actually count the number of fights the character has been involved with in some way, "(D)efending" doesn't seem to count.

I'll take a crack at the bottom bytes in the blank spot from ~$60-$7F later on.

I've been relearning the language pretty rapidly since I began writing my BT1 char editor, so I could certainly look at your dungeon editor.

Ok, the Rogue's gone. he's not much of a fighter anyway, so I'll sell all his stuff to Garth's and then byebye...

So, Hunter or Monk? Hmm. Decisions, decisions.

Some words on the character set as used in BT1 ( ZeroZero's post here ). The actual bytecodes are essentially identical to the so-called "high ASCII" that the Apple ][ used. In essentials, and doing some handwaving, the ASCII values for 0-127 are simply repeated with the high bit set for 1...

In parallel with ZeroZero's efforts I am initiating the project of disassembling Bard's Tale 1 on the Apple ][. The scope of this will be similar yet different, since I am not only looking to disassemble a memory dump, but also look for similarities and differences to the codebase of the C64. First ...

Some notes, thoughts, gripes, etc. Ok, so I created a team as follows: Warrior Paladin Bard Rogue Conjurer Magician I've levelled up these guys by a combination of legitimate dungeon crawling in the Scarlet Bard plus the Catacombs, and judicious sector editing. ;) So now I have characters with basic...

A propos of this I'll be working on getting the source code for the Bard's Tale on the Apple ][ version. I should warn that the only extant disk images seem to be cracked copies, so it'll be 99% original EA code and 1% changes made by the release group (one of which includes, apparently, wiping out ...

Not strictly character-editor-related, but... ZeroZero prodded me enough to start poking around with the AppleWin debugger, and lo and behold, I found where characters get stored - at least, the name of the first character, which is at $380 on up :) http://img38.imagefra.me/img/img38/2/3/21/quantum_...

Ok, not gonna throw you a whole bunch of screenshots since you all probably have the idea by now. I reset the items used byte to zero, then changed the second Frost Horn to $66, a Ybarrashield. Loaded the character's team, went out, used the shield, went back, rebooted into Copy ][ Plus after Disk O...
