MM8 Offset List - First Back up your Save game! (For
best results in reading this file, Turn word wrap on) {
To print this file change your print setup to
landscape.}
All numbers in ( ) below are used to highlight a certain
number only. You won't find them in the file!!
CAUTION: You can give any one any skill, but only give
natural spell casters spells. (Don't try to give your
Knight some spells, this usually won't work) I have
given a cleric all of the elemental spell skills and the
spells to go with them, And he could cast them just as
well as a Necromancer. But you have to be careful. It is
very easy to unbalance the game with any of these
changes, and make it so easy you will get bored with the
game and won't finish it.
The save games are saved in this format:
Your autosave: is a automatic saved game done just
before you moved into your latest map.
Save000.dd: is your first saved game
save001.dd is the second,
save002.dd is the third, and so on.
Your Heroes Name:- This location in the savegame file
is little different for each new game. Open the save
game you want to modify in a good text editor like
Ultraedit 32, (that is what I use) and search for your
characters name. You can change the name of your hero,
just be careful about the length of the name. Don't use
more than 10 characters in the name!!
Attributes:- Go down about 43 lines after the name of
your hero, will be the race code and character photo.
There will be three bytes together.
Example: (0C 0F 12) The first byte 0C is the race name
of your hero. As below OC is a Vampire Use caution here
as all of your attributes will change to the default
attributes of the chosen race. The Choices are:
00 = Necromancer 06 = Troll 0C = Vampire
01 = Lich 07 = War Troll 0D = Nosferatu
02 = Cleric 08 = Minotaur 0E = Dragon
03 = Priest 09 = Minotaur Lord 0F = Great Wyrm
04 = Knight 0A = Dark Elf
05 = Champion 0B = Patriarch If you want to be kinda
"weird" 10 thru 21 will make your name like (14) Raven
the Drunk
10 = The Cursed 16 = The Poison 11 = The Weak 17 = The
Diseased 12 = The Asleep 18 = The Poison 13 = The Afraid
19 = The Diseased 14 = The Drunk 20 = The Eradicated 15
= The Insane 21 thru FF is null, You will be called
Raven the (Null)
The second byte (0F) is the portrait of the hero. (0F)
would look like a Vampire The choices are:
00 thru 03 are knight pics (2 male & 2 female)
04 thru 07 are cleric pics (2 male & 2 female)
08 thru 0B are Necromancer pics (2 male & 2 female)
0C thru 0F are Vampire pics (2 male & 2 female)
10 thru 13 are Dark Elf pics (2 male & 2 female)
14 and 15 are Minotaur pics (1 male & 1 female)
16 and 17 are Troll pics (1 male & 1 female)
18 and 19 are Dragon pics (1 male & 1 female)
(NOTE) If you pick a dragon race (the first byte) ""you
should null out (00 00)all of the weapon and armour
skills""!! So the bytes 00 19 will give you a knight
that looks like the red dragon in the cave in Ironsand
Desert. Your attributes will be those of a knight, but
you will look like a dragon!!!!! ( but you will not be
able to equip any weapons or armor). And, (0F 00) will
give you a great wyrm that looks like a knight.
The next number 12 is the starting strength. There are 7
total attributes. Strength, Intelligence, Personality,
Endurance, Accuracy, Speed, and Luck. All of these are 4
numbers past the last one.
Example: 0C OF (12) 00 00 00 (12) 00 00 00 (12) 00 00 00
(12) 00 00 00 (12) 00 00 00 (12) 00 00 00 (12) Str Int
Per End Accy Speed Luck. This would give my hero 18 of
each attribute. The ( ) are for illistration only.
Current Level of your hero. Level is 6 past luck.
Example: 0C OF 12 00 00 00 12 00 00 00 12 00 00 00 12
00 00 00 12 00 00 00 12 00 00 00 12 00 00 00 00 00 (09)
Str Int Per End Accy Speed Luck Current Level 9
These examples would give your hero attributes of 18
each.
Skills - Skills start 6 numbers past your current
Level. Skills are a set of 2 numbers (each skill will be
a set like ( 00 00 )
NOTE: {There are other ways to add up these numbers, but
this way works!}
The first 00 is the one you should use. The second 00 is
only (normally) used when your character upgrades to
Grand master in a skill. Example: for a skill of level
of:
20 Normal 14 00
20 Expert 54 00
20 Master 94 00
50 master B2 00
60 master BC 00
63 Grandmaster BF BF
Example:
0C OF 12 00 00 00 12 00 00 00 12 00 00 00 12 00 00 00 12
00 00 00 12 00 00 00 12 00 00 00 00 00 09 00 00 00 00 00
(B2 00) (B2 00) Str Int Per End Accy Speed Luck Current
Level 9. These examples would give your hero skills of
master level 50 each. (B2 00) (B2 00) (B2 00) (B2 00)
(B2 00) (00 00) (B2 00) (B2 00) Dagger Axe Spear Bow

(00 00) (B2 00) (B2 00) Repair Item Body Build
Meditation Perception Regenerate Disarm "Dodging"
"Unarmed" (B2 00) (B2 00) (B2 00) (B2 00) ID Monster
Armsmaster Alchemy Learning
There are a total of 36 skills available, including, the
Blaster, Dodging, and Unarmed skills, which aren't used
in MM8, so you can give yourself these skills but they
will be useless, and with all of the skills on, some of
them will not show up in your skills tab in the game
because there won't be enough room on the screen. You
will still have them but you can't see them. So it is
best to leave these skills blank ( 00 00)
You can give anyone any skill and it will work. Just be
careful!! If you make a typing mistake on a set of
numbers, all of the numbers after the mistake will be
off. After the Learning skill comes the awards section.
I personally think it is best to leave this section
alone!!!! Between the Learning skill and the first spell
is about 64 lines.
Spells:- The first spells are fire, and #1 is torch
light. There are 11 fire spells (Example: 01 01 01 01 01
01 01 01 01 01 01 would give you all of the fire spells)
Then comes Air, Water, Earth, Spirit, Mind, Body. These
are all 11 spells. For a total of 77 spells. Next are
Light and Dark Spells, there are 11 of each. Then comes
the Race specific spells. Dark Elf, Vampire, Dragon. for
a total of 12 spell types. There are 4 of each of these
in this format: 01 01 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00, (as
you see here there are only 4 race spells but they still
take up 11 spell slots. The first 11 spell slots are for
the Dark Elf, then the Vampire, and the Dragon Last.
