The Adventurers' Guild The Bard's Tale: Tales of the Unknown http://www.bardstale.de MS-DOS ITEMS File Format -=[oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo]=- The "ITEMS" file in the Bard's Tale directory is basically the inventory for Garth's Equipment Shoppe. It saves how many of each item Garth has in stock. It is a very simple file. The file is 128 bytes long, the first byte seems that it is always 0xFF, and seems to serve no purpose. Every byte after that represents one item. If the byte's value is 0xFF, then Garth has an unlimited supply of that item. The items that appear in Garth's by default (Items #1 through 22) all have a 0xFF value. All the following bytes are items that you find while adventuring, and can sell to Garth. The byte's value depends on how many you've sold. By default, these bytes are 0x00.
