***SETTING UP The configuration editor, dungeon.prg, dungeon.rsc and bootsect must be present on the disk that you want the editor to be on. I use my character disk and this works fine. PLEASE BACK UP YOUR CHARACTER DISK AND/OR ANY DISK THAT YOU PUT THIS FILE ON! The actual editor program is contained within bootsect (it's 308 bytes including data). To set up the editor disk, simply run the program dungeon.prg and select "install". ***USING THE CONFIGURATION EDITOR Run the file dungeon.prg and select "OK". This will put you into the configuration editor screen. When you are done, select "OK" if you want to write this to the disk, or select "Cancel" to exit without save. The characteristics of a character may be changed by clicking on the box at the top for the character that you want (ie, click on "character 1" to change character #1's characteristics). You may type in values that you want to set the characteristics to, but you must give a number for all fields or it will be set to zero. (Warning: having a really high wisdom can do wierd stuff) If you want to use the editor for a CSB game, click the "Chaos" button at the bottom of the screen. If you do not select this, the editor will automatically be set for use with DM. Remember, if you select a character to change characteristics, you must supply all values or they will be set to zero! Also, you must click on the character boxes at the top, or the characteristics will not be changed at all! ***BOOTING DM or CSB To boot up DM or CSB you must put the disk that you installed the editor on (probably your character disk) into the disk drive. Turn the computer on or press reset and you will be given a prompt. Press 'c' or 'C' to continue the bootup process without installing the editor. Otherwise, insert the DM or CSB disk into the drive and press any other key. Continue normally. ***USING THE EDITOR The editor does not change save files or modify the DM program. It merely changes variables that are used by the DM program and this has the effect of changing your character. To make any changes permanent you MUST SAVE THE GAME! If you have selected characters to modify characteristics, this will be done only once. It is recommended that once you alter the characteristics that you SAVE IMMEDIATELY, otherwise you will need to reboot from the start to change them again. This is done so that when you gain levels your characteristics will not go down if you heal yourself. To invoke the editor, simply press ALT-HELP (aka screendump). The results may not show up instantly because DM does not know to update the screen. If you wait a second or go to an inventory screen, you will see the effect. Currently the editor will heal mana, health, and stamina whenever invoked and will modify characteristics if that was selected from the configuration editor. ***QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, SUGGESTIONS Please send any of the above to either David Koski 3150 N Conestoga Ave Tucson AZ 85749 or dkoski@hercules.as.arizona.edu ***SHAREWARE If you use this program, please send $5 or $10 to the above address.
