I used to play the Shareware version all the time, 20 some years ago.
The only difference between it and the full version was it stopped at level 4. So I would try to explore the whole map as much as I could with a crappy team.Recently found the full version on an abandonware site, and have been playing again. I've explored much more, but starting to get frustrated now because it just seems so random and so many places to explore that don't really amount to much. I have been working on a very basic walkthrough as there is nothing online.Anyone else play this game, ever beat it, am I missing out on some basic strategies?To this day I can still not figure out what to do with the horse besides not tying it up and using it as a warp to the jail.BTW not a fan of Book 2.
Instead of overhead, it's like a FPS maze and so easy to get lost.
(Last updated: 10th February 2018) StorylineBeginning with a seemingly insignificant quest, you were led to the mysterious Lost Isles of Yendor.Following the trail of a group of evil mages, you encountered civilizations of Gnomes, Elves, and Halflings.Throughout your journey, you learned that the evil Paltivar had found a way to communicate through portals. He was able to gain the loyalty of three mages, Simech, Cyril and Irudon. These mages unlawfully gathered many powerful reagents to construct a quartz chamber in Thaine.In the end, you were able to defeat them. Unfortunately, their chamber was already complete, awaiting the eruption of a volcano. When filled with lava, this chamber will be activated and allow Paltivar to be freed from his eternal prison.And so the story continues Credits DesignersProgrammer: Rodney R.

The basic game archive files are as follows:. pictures.vga – Game archive file for all graphics. world.dat – Game archive file for all game dataUpdate 10th February 2018: I’ve recently been reverse engineering the game and have tackled the following:.
Wall textures. Floor textures. Almost the entire colour palette. Creatures.
Found the first map in world.dat and a basic understanding of the data structureSee for more details. Downloads Music:Music as ripped from the world.dat game archive file in its original Creative Music File (CMF) format – It’s recommended that you use Winamp and the Winamp plugin to play this music:.Demo:.Links.
Nothing Yet. The demo IS the full game, just with a little added event, which blocks your passage to the next area.I noticed this when I was working on a hex hacking guide, and found many items that I know were not available in the demo. One in particular, a key (green if i recall correctly), will teleport you to the area that you would have reached, had the game not blocked your progress. Keep in mind, I have very little experience hex hacking, and the guide I have written is aimed at those of a like level of experience.Just go to gamefaqs, and look up this game, I’m the only one who has written anything about it. The method for getting past the demo block is at the bottom of the guide.And if anyone happens to know where I can locate the manual or hintbook for this game, or its sequel, Tyrants of Thaine, I would be eternally grateful. I have yet to learn anything about the different character classes, or what the stats do, and this information would be invaluable to me, as I would like to do other guides, and perhaps, down the road, an editor that will allow for the creation of new adventures using this same system (my first dungeon crawler game, ever!).Here’s hoping for a miracle (if anyone even sees this, since the game is so old and obscure)Thanks for your time,Josh Hines (Volyren Nightsong).
For example, for the package at when you edit swshare.exe at 2f23a (hex) from 80 to 10, 20 or 40 (all in hexadecimal) the south portal that gets you back in Port Hope or the key of Port Hope will tele you in a diferent orientation. 10 is east, 20 is west, 40 is north and 80 is south.The bytes at 2f235 and 2f237, initially at C0 and 2E, represent the column and line where you get teleported. You can change those and get teleported wherever you want(but avoid for column a value lower than 50 or line lower than 19).
