Character Editor Module For Swords Of Xeen
Created by David Melanson with Hartman Util's UGE v 1.0
"Swords Of Xeen" was released as a bonus adventure on the "Might &
Magic Trilogy" CD-ROM from New World Computing. As I have already hacked
into the saved game files for its two predecessors (Might & Magic IV and
V), I figured I'd do this one, too...
Unlike the modules for the previous two games, I limited the
modifications in this one to the default party you get upon starting the
game. I also limited the number of items you can modify to some extent.
This was: a.) Partly to conserve space b.) Partly because 90% of players
use the default party ANYWAY c.) Partly because nobody NEEDS nine different
weapons at once (two is the most you can handle at once), and d.) Partly
because I didn't want to.
Anyway, you should STILL find the module extremely useful, even if
you can only modify your original six characters. If you haven't been
already, you can find other Universal Game Editor modules at my Website:
http://www.ici.net/customers/overkill/overkill.htm and choose the "UGE Page"
option from the menu. Up there, you'll find quite a few more for games of
various types. As always, I charge no registration fee, but I do ask...
please DO register UGE. It's a nice little program, and well worth the
investment.
To use the module, just add the file (swords.mdl) to your UGE
game menu. The file you want to modify is SWRDXX.SAV in your SWORDS
directory, where XX is a number corresponding to the game number you want
to mess around with.
Instructions for use of the module's fields are exactly the same
as in my Clouds of Xeen and Darkside of Xeen modules, so I'll be brief.
Fields for character name and the seven ability scores are self-explanatory.
The "Level" field controls your character's level AND experience; adjust
this and you automatically adjust experience to match. If your character
suffers any unnatural aging (your age stat shows up in silver or gray on
your character's sheet), set the "Unnatural Age" field to 0 to counterract
the effects. You can give yourself any of the skills instantly (including
Thievery) by setting the appropriate "Skill" field to 1. You can modify
some of your equipment-2 weapons, 6 armor pieces, 3 accessories, and 3
miscellaneous items for each character. The first field (attribute) can
modify what a wepon, armor, or accessory piece has for a main property.
In Miscellaneous items' case, the "Attribute" field determines what spell
it casts. In all cases, the "Type" determines what kind of device it is/
The third field, "Other," for each item, indicates several things. If the
item is a Weapon, it indicates an additional property (such as "Dragon
Slayer,") if the number is low enough. If the item is a Miscellaneous Item,
this field indicates the remaining magical charges in the item (so you can
recharge your favorite item at any point in time). If this field is set at
64 or higher in ANY case, the item is considered "Cursed." Set it to 0 to
"Uncurse" it. If the field value is over 128, the item is considered
"Broken." Set it to 0 again to instantly repair it. Item properties,
powers, and types are listed in the tables below.
The next fields are each character's resistances to various attack
types. If you set them fairly high, your character won't take anywhere
near as much damage from most magical and elemental attacks (also useful for
traversing lava and such). The next fields indicate what condition each
character is in. You can nullify being "Cursed," "Heart Broken," "Depressed,"
etc, just by setting these to 0. You can even revive your character from
any condition (including death, petrification, or even eradication) by
setting the appropriate "toggle" to 0. Finally, the module allows you to
adjust your CURRENT Hit Point and Spell Point levels ("normal maximums" for
each of these two fields is calculated from your Level and appropriate
Statistics and skills).
The last few fields affect the party as a whole. You can change how
much gold and how many gems your party has-both on hand and in the bank.
You can change how much food you have with you. You can instantly teleport
anywhere in the game by setting your X and Y coordinates, and your "location."
A list of valid locations appears in a table below. If you get a "Might And
Magic ran out of high memory!" error when teleporting, it means you
teleported into a space that wasn't available! Bad move. Try again...
