Champion text format (DM)
Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2005 1:37 pm
I looked through this whole section of the forum but couldn't find anything related, except one post that said nobody knew how to do this yet.
dmweb mentions on the file formats page that the champions' stats are stored in texts. But when it comes to the Champion Texts subsection of the Texts Format section, it says they're stored in the following way, then goes into the List of Doors section. Has anyone ever figured out how this works? I tried examining a few characters, comparing their stats and their text strings, but I couldn't come up with anything at all. If anyone has any idea how to decode these things, I'd very much appreciate it.

PS- I am also working with the SNES version Does anyone know if it's safe to use CSBuild to edit the dungeon.dat? (I used one DM_SNES_PCAT_Exchange.exe to extract the dungeon.dat from the ROM, which apparently can also re-insert it.) I haven't come across much info at all on the ROM version - which was actually the first version of DM I ever played.
