Some cheats for "The I of the Dragon"
N.B.: This info is for the demo version of IoD, it was not tested on the full version!
1. HOW TO MODIFY CHARACTER PARAMETERS
Most of the character parameters, namely: Fly speed, Fire power, Breath capacity, Mana inflow and Spell slots, are arranged into C-like structure that can be found in the save file.
The params.txt file explains the layout of these values. To locate the structure, do the following:
- remember the Fly Speed parameter you currently have,
- convert the Fly Speed value to HEX format, and write it down with lower byte going first,
- save the game into file, find it on your disk and open it in a HEX editor,
- search file for bytes: FF FF FF FF <Fly Speed> 00 00 00 (I assume here that your Fly Speed is less than 256),
- modify known parameters as you need,
- write down the file and try it in the game.
Don't be greedy, too high numbers may render the game unstable!
2. HOW TO INCREASE LIFE AND REGENERATION
Unfortunately, the Life and Regeneration are not available directly from the HEX editor. Fortunately, though, the upgrade points are. They are located in the parameter structure with offset 0x0070 in relation to the 0xFFFFFFFFL signature. (That is, 7 times down arrow in Hiew after search.)
This is field for points. Under normal circumstances, you receive them after completing the next experience level. But now you can set the parameter manually to any amount you want. 0x3FFF worked fine for me. Then, you can load the game and distribute points for Life, Regeneration and even buy new spells.
3. EXAMPLE
(Caution, files are approx. 1.5Mb!)

4. DOWNLOAD: hiew.zip (194K)
Hacker's View - the DOS package that allows you to
view and modify binary files in HEX editor.
ENJOY!!!
