HELP FILE FOR MORIA VERSION 4.872
|
|||
|
|
=================================
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you haven't already, I heartly suggest that you download MORIA from
|
|||
|
|
your favorite BBS!!! If you're into D & D type games, this one will
|
|||
|
|
hook you for sure. After you have played the game and conquered the
|
|||
|
|
infamous Balrog, use the technical info below to have some real fun
|
|||
|
|
with all those nasty Dragons and Wraiths!!!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You'll need a binary file editor for this one. I used Norton's "NU"
|
|||
|
|
program as it is by far the best disk/file editor available. You may
|
|||
|
|
want to use the DOS debug or what ever you are comfortable with.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Moria creates a save file when you exit. With a little snooping, I
|
|||
|
|
found the following file positions for most of the important game
|
|||
|
|
variables. This is by no means a complete list. I was able to find
|
|||
|
|
the following variables in about 30 minutes of searching.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The important thing to remember when you are editting these locations
|
|||
|
|
is that all numbers are stored in Intel reverse format. For example,
|
|||
|
|
if you want to set the amount of gold you have to 100000 units, first
|
|||
|
|
convert it to hexidecimal, which would be $0186A0. The gold variable
|
|||
|
|
is a four byte value, so you would type in A0 86 01 starting at file
|
|||
|
|
offset 416. Now let's take a look at some important file offsets!!!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
File Offset Moria Variable Description
|
|||
|
|
=========== ======================================================
|
|||
|
|
408 - 411 Highest experience point value you have achieved.
|
|||
|
|
412 - 415 Current experience point value you are at.
|
|||
|
|
416 - 419 Number of gold units you have collected.
|
|||
|
|
420 - 421 Your age
|
|||
|
|
422 - 423 Your height
|
|||
|
|
424 - 425 Your weight
|
|||
|
|
426 - 427 Your current level
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
438 - 439 Your maximum MANA level.
|
|||
|
|
440 - 441 Your maximum hit points.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
892 Your maximum strength level.
|
|||
|
|
893 Your current strength level.
|
|||
|
|
894 Your maximum dexterity level.
|
|||
|
|
895 Your current dexterity level.
|
|||
|
|
896 Your maximum constitution level.
|
|||
|
|
897 Your current constitution level.
|
|||
|
|
898 Your maximum intelligence level.
|
|||
|
|
899 Your current intelligence level.
|
|||
|
|
900 Your maximum wisdom level.
|
|||
|
|
901 Your current wisdom level.
|
|||
|
|
902 Your maximum charisma level.
|
|||
|
|
903 Your current charisma level.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When changing the strength, dexterity, etc. values, the maximum that
|
|||
|
|
you can have is 18/99 in any catagory. This is equal to the value $75
|
|||
|
|
in hexidecimal (99 + 18 = 117 = $75).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you want to boost your armor or weapons, here's how. Page down
|
|||
|
|
thru the save file until you see your favorite weapon or armor. These
|
|||
|
|
items contain a description in the save file followed by the attribute
|
|||
|
|
designations for that item. If you currently have a weapon with a +1
|
|||
|
|
to hit and a +2 to damage, look past the weapon description for the
|
|||
|
|
bytes 01 00 02 00. Change these bytes to 63 00 63 00 and you now have
|
|||
|
|
a weapon with +99 to hit and +99 to damage!!!. Armor items are in the
|
|||
|
|
same format, but the location of the "+" locations is in a different
|
|||
|
|
location, but in the same format. I'll leave these locations up to
|
|||
|
|
you to find. (You can do it, it's easy!!!)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Okay, now for the fun. First, start up MORIA and choose your favorite
|
|||
|
|
character and save the game before you do anything. Next, crank up
|
|||
|
|
Norton's "NU" or whatever else you use and change the following:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1) Set all maximum and current abilities to $75.
|
|||
|
|
2) Give yourself 500000 in gold ($07A120).
|
|||
|
|
3) Set your maximum MANA and hit points to 9999 ($270F).
|
|||
|
|
4) Set all your armor to +99 ($63).
|
|||
|
|
5) Set your weapon "to hit" and "to damage" to +99 ($63).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You are now ready to face Mr. Balrog!!! You can stock up on food and
|
|||
|
|
lamp oil and march directly to level 50 if you want. Nothing will even
|
|||
|
|
phase you!! If you want to be a sport, you can adjust any of these
|
|||
|
|
values to give the game a chance, but if you've played MORIA for three
|
|||
|
|
months like I have, it will feel good to wipe out 50 levels of nasties
|
|||
|
|
and knock off the Balrog!!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Happy hacking.....
