So you missed out on all those cool magic items earlier in your campaign? And we all know it's a
chore to start all over! Fret no longer!
Follow these simple steps:
First go backup all your save files!
You need a Hex Editor and you can download the one Im using from BreakPoint or go to
ZDNet and do a search on Hex editors
Start your editor and open up one of the savegame files.
You'll see lots of alphabets and numbers but note a smaller column to the right, where if you
scroll downwards you'll see all your troop names. And yes there's a pattern to it. Name-lots
of dots-name-lots of dots-name ...
To the left and larger column, you will also see a pattern of FFFF about 7 to 8 of them in a
row for every unit you have. These are vacant slots for your magic items; and any slots taken
up will always be to the left of where all the FFFF starts. And you can decipher any
existing items by using the table below
1600
Bright Book
1700
Ice Book
1800
Waagh Book
1900
Dark Book
0100
Grudgebringer Sword
0200
Skabskrath
0300
Runfang
0400
Hellfire
0500
Stormsword
0600
Lightning Bolt
0700
SpellEater Shield
0800
Dragon Helm
0900
Shield of Ptolos
0A00
Enchanted Shield
0B00
Heart of Woe
0C00
Potion of Strength
0D00
Horn of Urgok
0E00
Ring of Volans
0F00
Banner of Arcane Warding
1000
Banner of Wrath
1100
Banner of Defiance
1200
Mork's War Banner
1300
Staff of Osiris
1400
Wand of Jet
1500
Book of Ashur
And its simply a matter of replacing a vacant address (FFFF) with your choice of magic
item. Or overriding an exisitng item if u wish
Save the file and try it out.
Ofcourse if you do something stupid like assign a Bright Book to your Archers it will crash
your game.
Um, if this works for you, thank Thorgrim not me ;-)
