Re: MSDOS Version Bugs
1) Somehow the level advancement code is broken. If you attempt to advance additional level at the Review Board, they will advance you even though you don't get any additional experience. Basically you get free advancement just for the asking. Your hit points and spell points will continue to go up...

Re: C64 BT2: complete monster list
And just like that, my patience level fell through the floor and I quit this project. To ensure I never return to it, I destroyed every single file off my hard drive, including all 3 BT games. That's too bad Darendor. It was looking pretty interesting and I was curious to see how your data matched ...

It is not possible. That code doesn't exist in the DOS version.

Re: Bards Tale 1 - Speed Running
If you're not running glitchless, there are/were techniques for getting infinite gold in the guild. Not sure if any of them work in the DOS version. Worth a look though.

Re: Stupid Question Alert
Well, theoretically. Except it looks like on the 6502 there is no mode that lets you do EOR with the accumulator. :( Well I know that EOR A is a valid instruction on the 6502 because I encounter it constantly while exploring the BTII code. :? What is the opcode for EOR A in the BT2 code? According ...

Re: What are your favorite tips and tricks?
That's a good one. A party slot is only empty if a flag is set. The function key code doesn't check for the flag and neither does the sing function. It looks like the function keys will also work if the bard is dead, stoned, or paralyzed too.

Re: What are your favorite tips and tricks?
What do the 6 - 34 numbers mean? That's the minimum level your lead character needs to be in order to always succeed running from the fight. Here's another interesting exploit for those that like to play with less than 6 members in their party: If you take a Bard, equip him with an instrument, and ...

Re: C64 BT2: complete item list
drifting, you're completely right with $48 and $49, but not with the damage of the weapon. This is interesting. The YdX logic is completely different in DOS BT2 (in BT3 the logic is the same as what you've posted here). The DOS logic is: Take the value from $AB32 and add 1 ; 7 + 1 for the Bardsword...

Re: C64 BT2: complete item list
Ok, let's take the bardsword as example. The value of the bardsword in the $8356 table is 21(hex) 00100001(bin). This value, as mentioned, is in X. 1. X is transferred to A 2. A is transferred to the stack 3. $A2B0 - $A2B4 selects bit 5-7 from A; in this case the one in brackets: (001)00001 => A = ...

Re: BTII - Character Details
$BB20-21 and $BB22-23 look to be the current level and the max level. The review board code modifies those when advancing: .C:9b03 20 06 08 JSR $0806 " hath earned a level of..." .C:9b06 A0 23 LDY #$23 .C:9b08 B1 9B LDA ($9B),Y ; A = $23 byte of character .C:9b0a 18 CLC .C:9b0b 69 01 ADC #...

Re: BT II - Healing Temples
I do have the DOS code as a kind of "cheat sheet" into the code that you're posting. I can't really help too much more with this one though since it depends on the character structure and those are different in DOS vs C64

Re: BT II - Bedder's Bank for the Bold
Ah the 9A61,X thing points to 00, 01, 02, and 03 for facing the party. Duh. I'm slowly discovering more and more. Very slowly. So I guess this file would be self-modifying, then, as would Garthe's Shoppe. RIght? Yeah. One of the biggest headaches trying to disassemble the Apple/C64 versions of BT3 ...
