~Lands of Lore

A complete DEBUG edit  -  By Simon Burrows

Since there  are so  many edits  possible for  this game then you
just can't  put them  all together  into one DEBUG edit otherwise
you'll either  be there  all day  entering  the  information,  or
you'll type  in something  you didn't  't want to edit and end up
ruining the  game  of  all  it's  enjoyment.  Instead,  here's  a
selection of  13 edits each done using DOS's DEBUG.  If you are a
real hack-a-holic  then you  could incorporate  them all together
into one,  but, more likely, you can take a look through them all
and decide  which ones are worthy of your attention and which can
be ignored.

For those of you not familiar with DEBUG, I'll avoid confusion by
saying that  the top  two lines  of each  edit will load the file
into memory,  and the  last two will write any changed data, then
quit the program.  Any lines in between (those beginning with "E"
and then a number) are lines that edit the file. Because of that,
if you  are using  more than  one of  these edits  in  one  DEBUG
session, you  only have  to use  the top and bottom two once, and
just put all the lines starting with "E" in between!!  Okay?

For all  you maniacs out there, I will put all the edits together
into one  big DEBUG at the bottom of this doc to make it easy for
you to  do it  all at once.  This will be called Hack 13 and will
severely ruin any hope of getting satisfaction from this game!!

To start  the edits: load the game, start a new campaign, save it
immediately in  the top-slot  of the save-game-menu, quit back to
DOS, and  finally, load  DEBUG ready  to enter  your selection of
lines.  Here goes....


~EDIT ONE - CHARACTER CONDITIONS

If you've  played this  game for  long enough,  you'll know  that
during play,  characters will  sometimes get  either  stunned  or
poisoned.   If this  happens to  you it is possible to reset your
character's condition to normal so that you can carry on the game
unhindered.   The three  lines ending  01  will  reset  all  your
player's conditions  to normal;  the top  one being for character
one, the bottom for character three.  So, basically, entering the
following DEBUG  will reset  all three  character's conditions to
normal again :-

~EDIT TWO - FIGHTER LEVELS

This next edit will allow you to change the fighter level of your
three characters.   Unless  you didn't  know, each  character can
have a  fighter level  between 1  and 10   (or is it 0 and 10??).
Anyway, the  following hack  will set all three character's level
to ten  which should make them all demon fighters! In case you're
wandering, the  top "E"  line is  to edit  character one  and the
bottom does  character three   (no points for guessing which does
character two!!) :-

NSAVE001.DAT

E 01A7 10
E 0229 10
E 02AB 10
W
Q


EDIT THREE - HIT POINTS

As with  fighter points,  each character  has their own amount of
hit points too.  When this total of hit points reaches 0, one can
expect that  the character  is dead!   Because of this, this edit
will boost  each character's  hit points  back to  it's  maximum.
However, this  game has a very low maximum level, one which might
not be  good for  a player  who loses  too many, too quickly.  To
change all  this, not  only does this edit boost each character's
total hit  points to  it's maximum  but  it  also  increases  the
maximum too.  This edit  may need  to be run several times during
you campaign,  each time  your hit-points  total gets  down to  a
dangerously low level :-

Q


EDIT FOUR - LANTERN STATUS

This edit  is incredibly simple because all it does is change the
amount of  stuff you've  got in  your lantern.  Because FF is the
maximum you  can have  in one  Hex byte,  FF will give you a full
lantern.  So, it goes like this :-

NSAVE001.SAT
L
E 0456 FF

Q


EDIT FIVE - MAGE LEVELS

Edit six  is very similar to edit one where we edited the fighter
level of the three character's.  The difference is that this edit
will boost  each of  the three  character's mage  levels to their
maximum instead.  If you want to know what the mage level is then
read the  manual 'cos  I'm not  explaining it  now!!   Do it like
this, the  top "E"  line being  for player one and the bottom for
player 3, just like before :-

Q


EDIT SIX - MONEY

This is a more conventional edit than some others covered in this
document.   It's use  is simple: to give you bags of money!!  You
can use  it at any time, probably more than once, allowing you to
spend whatever  you spend money on, in larger quantities and more
often than was possible before.  The edit runs as follows :-

NSAVE001.DART
L
E 045A 63 63
W
Q


EDIT SEVEN -  SPELL POINTS

This is  basically the  same as  hit points except instead of the
player's life-force,  it's his/her  ability to  cast  spells  and
stuff.  Again, this edit first boosts the maximum total available
up a bit, then puts the total up to this new maximum.

EDIT EIGHT - ROGUE LEVELS

Again, this  one is  like edit  one.   I'm not going to bother to
explain it again, except to remind you that the 10 we are setting
the total at is the highest the level can be.  I suppose, to make
the game  more challenging you could put it lower! Here's what to
do :-

Q


EDIT NINE - SPELL PRESENTLY BEING USED

This one  is quite  simple, though  might not seem like the thing
you might  edit normally.   However, if can be quite useful, and,
it allows  you to use a special spell not ever found or mentioned
in the  game at all!!  This spell is in the following list and is
called "Hands of Fate" - I'll leave it up to you to discover what
it does!!   Basically  the edit will tell the computer what spell
the current  character is  using.  The "E" line in the edit tells
the computer  this with  the number at the end of the line naming
the actual spell.  After I've listed the edit I've put in another
list just  to show  you what  numbers you  use for  which spells.
Here goes :-

NSAVE001.DAT
L
E 046F xx         (where xx = spell currently in use (see below))
W
Q

THE 'XX' VALUES:

00 = Spark       04 = Hands of Fate
01 = Heal        05 = Mists of Doom
02 = Ice Wall    06 = Lightening
03 = Fireball


EDIT TEN - YOUR PARTY'S HORIZONTAL CO-ORDINATES

This one  is used  to change  the position  of your team which is
marked in  the save-file  as co-ordinates.  This edit will change
the horizontal co-ordinates - edit 11, the vertical ones. The "E"
line in  the edit  will have  the hex-address   (the  4-character
'number' that  comes after  the "E")  and then an 'xx'.  You must
replace this  'xx' with  you're own number which will then become
your team's  present game  coordinate.   The best way to work out
the number  you need is to type in this "E" line without the 'xx'
number at  the end.  This will show your present co-ordinate as a
number.   You can  then add  on one  more number  to this  if you
wanted to  go one  screen right in the game, and take one away to
go one  screen left.   Obviously,  adding ten  will go 10 screens
right, and,  deducting 10,  will, in  the same  way, take  you 10
screens left.   Remember  though, that  you are  counting in HEX-
notation here,  so if  you type  306 you'll  get an  error.    To
convert a  standard number into a HEXADECIMAL one, use a DECIMAL-
HEX conversion  tool like  the one  you get  with "Games Wizard".
Here's how the edit goes :-

NSAVE001.DAT

Q


EDIT ELEVEN - PARTY'S VERTICAL CO-ORDINATES

The reason for this information having to go into a separate edit
is because  the way  you work  out what  co-ordinate to put in is
more difficult.   If  you haven't  already, read through the edit
above to  get a  run-down of  how to  change this co-ordinate and
where it's  stored   etc., then  I'll only  have to  explain  the
system  for   calculating  vertical  co-ordinates  in  this  edit
Basically, to calculate the co-ordinate, instead of adding on one
to go  right and  one to go left, you have to add the total width
of the  level once  to go  right and  once to  go left.  This  is
because the  level is  thought of  as a  grid and  each square is
given a number going from top-left to bottom-right.  If you think
about it,  if you  go down  one square  on the  grid then you are
passing through  one width  of the whole level - that's why.  You
may find  this difficult to work out, unfortunately, but stick at
it though,  'cos  you  can  have  some  real  fun  exploring  the
landscape more  thoroughly than  ever before!!  The edit will run
like this :-

EDIT TWELVE - THE COMPLETE EDIT

Well here it is then pyros, you'll really set the game on fire if
you change  this much  stuff -  let alone  ruin the enjoyment and
satisfaction of  it.  Nevertheless, here's the complete thing all
together for  those who  are intent  on editing  everything  that
could ever be edited.  Full stop.  Type it in like this, then :-
