             WIZARDRY TIPS V 

**************************************** 

           THE CHEATING 
           ------------ 

HERE'S SOME NEW MAGIC FOR YA (KOD): 

AMULET OF SKILL: RAISES STR BY ONE IN 
FIRST USE. CHAR BECOMES "LOST" ON 2ND. 
PRONOUNCED CRUELTY! 

BLARNEY STONE: +1 LUCK. USE ONCE OR AS 
ABOVE. 

RING OF REGEN.: REGENERATES HP. NEED 
NOT EQUIP. 

DAMIEN STONE: HELPS IN SPELL CASTING. 
DO NOT EQUIP OR USE. 

--------------------------------------- 

 
         THE KOD ITEMS 
         ------------- 

TO GET TO SOME OF THE KOD ITEMS, MALOR 
DIRECTLY UP FROM OUTSIDE THE RIDDLE 
ROOM IN THE 6TH LEVEL, OR DIRECTLY DOWN 
FROM GNILDA ON THE 1ST LEVEL. KEEP YOUR 
RIGHT PINKIE ON THE RESET KEY THOUGH 
BECOUSE THIS DOES NOT APPLY FOR ALL 
LEVELS. TO GET TO THOSE, FIND THE WAY 
FROM THE LEVELS YOU CAN GET TO. 

 
--------------------------------------- 

 
*************************************** 
**  THANKS TO TCV728 FOR GETTING US  ** 
**     STARTED ON THESE METHODS      ** 
*************************************** 

--------------------------------------- 

AT THE MOMENT, THIS CAN ONLY BE USED 
ON THE PROVING GROUNDS SCENARIO. JUST 
TRANSFER THE CHARACTERS TO KOD IF YOU 
WISH. KOD METHOD COMING SOON... 

THIS PROCESS CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO THE 
HEALTH OF YOUR WIZARDRY DISK... 
       +-------------------+ 
       !   MAKE A BACKUP   ! 
       +-------------------+ 

IF YOU DON'T HAVE LOCKSMITH 4, THEN 
YOU MUST EITHER TAKE A CHANCE OR HIT 
CTRL-P AND GIVE UP. 

HERE'S HOW TO MAKE A BACKUP COPY: 
IT MUST BE DONE W/LS4 
(DON'T TRY NA][) 

TRACKS 0-9 NORMAL 
TRACKS F-22 NORMAL 
TRACKS A-E SYNC: 36=01 
       OR 
TRACK 0:36=1, 21=02, 46=96 
TRACKS 1-22 SYNC: 36=00 
(NOTE: BOTH OF THESE REQUIRE NIBBLE 
COUNTING. CONSULT YOUR MANUAL) 

HEREIN, WE SHALL DIRECTLY EDIT YOUR 
WIZARDRY CHARACTERS. THIS INCLUDES MOST 
THINGS OF YOUR CHARACTER. 
BESIDES LS4, YOU WILL NEED A GOOD 
SECTOR EDITOR. WE USED NA][, BUT DISK 
ZAP, DISK FIXER OR THE LIKE WILL DO. 

BE VERY CAREFUL AND DOUBLE CHECK 
EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU WRITE IT TO DISK. 

IT IS SUGGESTED THAT YOU START OFF WITH 
A FRESH DISK ((M)AKE SCENARIO). 

 
  1) CREATE A CHAR W/A NAME 9 LETTERS 
LONG. 
  2) NOW, BREAK OUT THE SECTOR EDITOR. 
YOUR CHARACTER WILL BE LOCATED ON 
EITHER TRACKS 1D, 1E, OR 1F.  THE FIRST 
CHARACTER ON A SCENARIO IS LOCATED ON 
TRACK 1D, SECTOR D. FIND THE CHARACTERS 
NAME BY COVERTING THE BYTES ON THE 
SECTOR TO THEIR ASCII COUNTERPARTS. 
WE WILL USE THE BYTE AFTER THE NAME AS 
A REFERENCE POINT. 
  3) STARTING WITH THE EIGHTH BYTE 
AFTER THE NAME, YOU WILL FIND THE CHARS 
PASSWORD. CHANGE IF YOU WISH AND WRITE 
TO DISK. CONSULT APPLE MANUALS FOR 
ASCII EQUIVALENT VALUES. 
  4) AT THE 24TH BYTE AFTER THE NAME 
YOU WILL FIND YOUR RACE.THE VALUES ARE: 

      $01=HUMAN 
      $02=ELF 
      $03=DWARF 
      $04=GNOME 
      $05=HOBBIT 
ANY OTHER VALUE WILL GIVE YOU 
"NORACE". 
CHANGE IF YOU WISH. 
  5) AT THE 26TH BYTE AFTER THE NAME 
YOU WILL FIND YOUR CLASS: THE VALUES 
ARE: 

     $00=FIGHTER 
     $01=MAGE 
     $02=PRIEST 
     $03=THIEF 
     $04=BISHOP 
     $05=SAMURAI 
     $06=LORD 
     $07=NINJA 
CHANGE IF YOU WISH. 
  6) AT THE 30TH BYTE AFTER THE NAME 
YOU WILL FIND YOUR AGE. NOTE: THESE #'S 
ARE IN HEXADECIMAL (BASE 16) MAKE YOUR 
CHAR 0 YEARS OLD BY ENTERING $00 FOR 
THIS VALUE. 
  7) AT THE 32ND BYTE AFTER THE NAME 
YOU WILL FIND YOUR ALIGNMENT. THE 
VALUES ARE: 

     $01=GOOD 
     $02=NEUTRAL 
     $03=EVIL 
ANY OTHER VALUE WILL GIVE YOU "NO 
ALIGNMENT". CHANGE IF YOU WISH. 

  8) AT THE 34TH BYTE AFTER THE NAME, 
YOU WILL FIND THE ATTRIBUTES OF THE 
CHAR. CHANGE THIS, AND THE NEXT 6 BYTES 
TO $FF. THIS WILL GIVE YOU 31'S IN ALL 
ATTRIBUTES. 

  9) AT THE 42ND BYTE AFTER TH NAME, 
YOU WILL FIND THE GOLD REGISTER. CHANGE 
THIS, AND THE NEXT 7 BYTES TO $FF. THIS 
WILL GIVE YOU 100010001 GOLD. 

  10) AT THE 122ND BYTE AFTER THE NAME, 
YOU WILL FIND YOUR LEVEL. CHANGE IT TO 
$FF AND THE NEXT BYTE TO $7F. THIS WILL 
MAKE YOU 32,767TH LEVEL. THIS IS THE 
MAXIMUM. 

  11) AT THE 124TH BYTE YOU WILL FIND 
HP. CHANGE THIS TO $FF AND THE NEXT 
BYTE TO $7F. THIS WILL GIVE YOU 
32,767 HP. 

  12) AT THE 126TH BYTE AFTER THE NAME, 
YOU WILL FIND THE STATUS HP. CHANGE 
THIS TO $FF AND THE NEXT BYTE TO $7F. 

  13) AT THE 114TH BYTE AFTER THE NAME, 
YOU WILL FIND THE EXPERIENCE. CHANGE IT 
AND THE NEXT 3 BYTES TO $FF. THIS IS 
NOT NECESSARY, BECAUSE YOU ALREADY HAVE 
THE MAXIMUM LEVEL. ANY HIGHER INVOKES 
A BUG WHEREBY YOU ARE LEVEL -32,767. 

  14) AT THE 128TH BYTE AFTER THE NAME, 
IS THE SPELLS IN YOUR SPELL BOOK. 
CHANGE IT, AND THE NEXT 7 BYTES TO $FF. 
THIS WILL GIVE YOU THE ABILITY TO CAST 
ALL MAGE AND PRIEST SPELLS. 

  15) AT THE 136TH BYTE AFTER THE NAME, 
YOU WILL FIND THE NUMBER OF EACH SPELL. 
START WITH THIS BYTE AND ENTER $FF 
THEN $7F FOURTEEN TIMES (THIS WILL LOOK 
LIKE FF 7F FF 7F FF 7F ETC. IT WILL 
TAKE UP 28 BYTES IN ALL). THIS WILL 
PROVIDE YOU WITH: 

MAGE SPELLS:32767/32767/32767/32767/327 
PRIEST SPELLS:32767/32767/32767/32767/3 

GET THE PICTURE? 

 
WE HAVE FOUND THE AC BYTE, BUT IT IS 
RE-COMPUTED EVERY TIME YOU GO INTO THE 
DUNGEON, THUS A CHANGE WOULD BE FUTILE. 
OH WELL.... 

 

WE HAVE FOUND THE ITEM REGISTERS BUT 
HAVE NOT FOUND OUT HOW TO UTILIZE THEM. 
EVENTUALLY THOUGH WE WILL BE ABLE TO 
GIVE YOU THE KOD ITEMS AND THE STAFF 
OF GNILDA. 

HAVE FUN!!!
