Well, at this time, I am playing through BT3. I am also noting every monster encounter, as well as taking screenshots of the pictures, in case I decide to use them in my mod.
I already have the BT1 monsters completed, so after finishing 3, I will go back and complete 2. It's a little backwards, but what can you do.
After that, maybe I will release the combat mod that I was working on.
After that, I will work on completing the BT 1-3 mods.

I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

hallo there,
just got to say the BT mod is just beautiful so far
taken me way way back to playing it on old spectrum 48k
just a quick question, am i doing something ridiculously stupidly wrong, in that i cant create the original BT type characters?
having to restrain myself from revisiting BT and concentrate on DW

Didn't know BT was released for the Sinclair Spectrum 48k.. cool that it was.
I played BT II on a Commodore 64 (or possibly my C-128?)
Cassette tapes.. good times..good times.
ok, let's see.. if yer fighters were getting an avg of..say 10 hp per level-up, then your guys must've been around level 300 to have 3k hp.
pretty impressive. 8)
so, what's the highest level anyone here has gotten (legit) with any char?
think mid-2-upper 40's was highest my main crew reached..

iirc (and i probably dont cos it was like the mid 80s when i was playing BT on spectrum)
the max hp your fighters could get was 20
so i would repeatedly teleport to the 4 x 99 guys - build up say 5 levels of xp then go to review board and level up, saving and reloading if i didnt get say 75hp from the 5 levels
gonna have to go wiki / ebay / google spectrum BT now

oh, yeah--those infamous 400 (396 for the mathematically precise) Beserkers!
great way to level up.. but it was really arduous as I recall in the DW version (mod created by Origen) cuz of DW game-limits whereby group attacks only affected...maybe a dozen or so?? -anyone recall?
so it took a crap-load of long-ace rounds (even with a strong party) to smite those 396. to be fair--some of the time lag was probably related to my using a slow machine with sucky built-in/on-board graphics.
that's a nice link to the ebay Spectrum BT set for sale.. fun checking out those box/manual pix.
hey, how's your DW game going?

having a slight problem with in that i can't train my BT chars as my monk / rogue at the adventurers guild or review board.
also having a slight problem with my DW
am in say day 3, and it is crashing everytime i frisk a body, and dont take the loot
is very odd, will do a screen grab of the error report if someone more IT'y than me can make sense of it

hey, post a new thread under Full Game / Technical Help &/or Mods -- hopefully someone will see it who can help.. I don't recall those specific problems, but then it's been a few years since I played the BT mod.
you might also send a PM (Private Message) to Origen.
aside from game bugs, it helps reduce errors if you start the game after a fresh system reboot, and with no other programs running.. turn off anti-virus, shut-down extraneous programs running in your system tray, etc.
and def make sure your Video driver is up-2-date, and also your audio driver..
hopefully you're running DW with the latest patches/Mega-mod?

Glad the crash issue got resolved.
Yeah, need to launch game using dwMain.exe
Have ye checked the Rennibister town map that comes with every install of DW? If not, look in the main game directory for DWManual-booklet.pdf (great for booklet-sized printing) or the larger format DWManual.pdf.
Tip: p7
or.. if you simply can't wait the pdf to launch, much less print..
try this:
check out the North side of the Adventurer's Hall.. near Landru's Shop, then yer very warm--if yer in front of the Mage's Guild, yer pipin' hot. 8)
