Ancient Domains Of Mystery - PC
Hints:
------
Keep character:
---------------
Save and quit the game. Find the save game file for your player, named
in format [character name].svg in the "savedg" folder. Copy it to the
Windows Desktop and load the game. If done correctly, you should have
one copy of the save file on your desktop and one in the "savedg" folder.
The desktop copy is the backup and should be copied to the "savedg" file
after you die in order to continue the game.
Note: Update the backup copy often.
When you die, if you saved before, the game erases that save file so
you cannot restore it. When you save a game, go into "adom_dat" folder
then enter the saved games. Copy your save file to another folder. When
you die, the file in the original folder is destroyed, but not the other
one. Copy it back into the original folder and continue from where you
left off.
Duplicate items:
----------------
Go into the hamlet and drop the items you want to duplicate. Leave the
hamlet and exit the game. Look in the "adom_dat" folder and go into the
"temp dat" folder. There will be two files there. Copy them to another
folder then resume the game go back into the hamlet. Once there, get
your items and leave again. Copy the temp files back into the original
directory (answer "Yes" to overwrite all). Then, go back into the hamlet
and the items will be laying there again. You can also transfer items to
other characters by doing this.
Restore character:
------------------
When you die, if you saved before, the game erases that save file so you
cannot restore it. When you save a game, go into "adom_dat" folder then
