Hex Editing Save Files
Nalanthi
Okay, I'll stop right now. If you're offended by the idea of editing game
files, please stop reading.
*******************Spoiler Request Warning****************************
Hey, ADOM fans! Has anyone figured out how to hex edit the save files?
You know, for mucho hit points, strength, great items, etc.? I've played
around a little, and haven't gotten much of anywhere. Let me know at my
e-mail address (I don't check the newsgroup that often) if you have any
useful information. Thanks in advance.

strength. Save again, do a binary compare fc .. ... /B and search for the
difference you're interested in. If you do too much in between saving, the
save-files will have a very different length and it won't work.
Good luck,

Ditto. I've made a few finds and am willing to share with anyone over
email. But I agree, the subject is a little taboo, so I won't post
them here. Email to emul...@humboldt1.com if you are interested.

Forge me a sword, and I want you to try
To sharpen it well when you're done.
For I learned yesterday that I cannot die,
And they say there can be only one.
