Abandonia Quiz #5

[Buleste]

Abandonia have a new quiz with the prize of two limited edition NDS with Zelda:TPH. The quiz is 40 tracks of game music from games between 1990 and 1999 and is solid. It can be found here. (http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=16692)

Just had a listen to the first 5 and only got number 4! :lol: Don't think I will be winning that DS. :(

[Buleste]

After looking at the posts I don't think anyone has all of them and a lot of people have very few. I've listened to about 9 and got none.:shhh:

[Harrison]

Right. I will have to have a better listen to all of them then. ;)

[Teho]

Listened to all of them and am dead certain about only six. Have good guesses for four more, and there's a couple I really feel I ought to know but can't place.

This one was hard. :( Abandonia is mostly old DOS games, right? I didn't have a PC in those days so don't know too much about them, only what I've discovered since.

[Harrison]

There were a lot of Amiga games ported to the PC so I did recognise a few too, but like you I didn't have a PC for gaming back then either as I was dedicated to the Amiga. :)

Btw, at PD you can get a nice DOSCollection, it's 17.26GB

[Harrison]

Yeah, i have that one. Not from there directly though, but from the same sources as the creator of that torrent got his files from. :)

[Demon Cleaner]

Although it has been a long time since it has been updated. I once started downloading games from Abandonia Reloaded (http://www.reloaded.org/) manually to also get all these games, but that takes a lot of time. Hope someone's gonna make a set for that site too, they have some nice adventures.

One game they don't have on there is Knight of Legend which is a superb RPG that i love. Plus there is the fact that i know how to "improve" your Characters using a hex editor.

[Submeg]

Oh by giving your character 9999 HP? Lol love doing that

[Buleste]

More by boosting your stats and weapon skills. The basic layout on a Hex editor that you need to edit is this

00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F
1st Line
2nd Line STR QUI SIZ
3rd Line Hea FOR CHA I/B AP AP Lvl Lvl Mon Mon
4th Line
5th Line
6th Line Skil At At Def Def Skil
7th Line At At Def Def Skil At At Def
8th Line Def

For STR QUI Hea FOR CHA I/B replace current score with ff. DO NOT replace Siz with ff as this means you will have an eight foot dwarf etc.
DO NOT Adjust the Lvl scores as this can lead you to not being able to improve your true level.
The reason there are 2 values for Attack and Defence is because the value the game uses is the hex value divided by 10 so is you use the hex value of 100 the the attack will be 10 so to have an attack of 30 the hex value needs to be 300 (01 2c).
If you're unsure as to where to start then the first parts od the first line are the characters name and where they were saved.

Ignore the above as it's not formatting it right.

[Harrison]

You could format it using the table bbcode. How to use that code is found here. (http://forum.classicamiga.com/misc.php?do=bbcode#table)

Thanks H. That should give you an idea of where to edit. Ap stands for Adventure points (Experience points). It can be fiddly fine tuning things but and certainly makes things more interesting.
