Amiga editor for Dungeon Master/CSB available

[Minuous]

Hello all, you can now use the Multi-game Character Editor to view/edit saved games for these two games (among others), including character stats and dungeons, even for non-Amiga formats.

Nice to see new tools being developed!
I don't have the OS requirement to give it a try now, my Amiga emulation environment runs OS 3.1 only...

I see you added it to the wiki, thanks

The decryption etc. is largely based on your documents (you are credited in the manual for this). I take it that the DM2 saved game format is still undocumented?

[ChristopheF]

I don't have any doc about the DM2 saved game format.
However, you could study the source code of skwin where you you should find what you need:

You'll find the main load function in SkWinCore.cpp GAME_LOAD().
Basically, the DM2 dungeon structure is like a DM1 dungeon.dat.
Savegame is : some header, then dungeon.dat, then global variables and data tables (ingame flags, party info, spell effects, timers).
While the dungeon.dat is the same structure as for DM1, there are different values for items/objects/gfx (check graphics.dat coming along for that), and event/actuators have also different values from DM1.
You can contact me for details if needed.

OK, thanks, I'll add support for DM2 in the next version.

I have released V14.6 which allows dungeon editing via saved game file or dungeon file for all 3 games, and editing of character stats and inventories for DM1 & CSB. Editing of character stats and inventories for DM2 will likely follow in the next version.
