Caster of Magic Release thread : latest version 6.06!

[merlinp]

I asked someone with IDA+hex rays to try the decompilation and the result is:

Decompilation failure:
13EC7: only 32-bit functions can be decompiled

So going to need a different decompiler, one that supports 16-bit DOS .exe.

[merlinp]

I did some research and tried several dos .exe compatible decompilers that gave some hope of giving compiling C source.

DOS executable decompiler Dcc (last active 2018)
- Decompilation gives error "unknown instruction FE"
Reko decompiler (active)    
- Decompilation gives multiple unsupported features errors

Untested:

Asm2c (last active 2017), has been successfully used to decompile Mr Boom DOS game into C source.
I couldn't figure out the build system (x code? swift?)

So unless asm2c works, there doesn't seem to be a working decompiler for MOM or DOS games in general.

I'm not going to do that unless someone pays me for it.

are you actually really open to it? what about if someone organizes a crowdfunding for THAT?

Then I'll actually have an income and don't need to worry about my future? (yes it is going to be that much work) And we even get a better game out of it? That sounds like a win-win scenario to me.

Yes, exactly the same for me I already tried that.

Hello Seravy,

I love the fight against monsters for great rewards. Is there a chance to increase the limit of encounter zones (lairs, dungeons, keeps and caves) and give them more items?

[Bahgtru]

I think a "strong magic" setting at start does that - at least for nodes.

I thought its limited to 57 encounter zones and 32 nodes? (values from masterofmagic.wikia.com)

[Nelphine]

30 nodes, and the number of lairs (or zones as you call them) is based on size. I want to say on huge there's 100, but that could have been reduced, we've had a variety of changes based on treasure distribution.

No matter what size, an additional 3 lairs are then generated around the human players capital.

Supply commander doesn't seem to be working correctly. My slingers still have 6 shots even with the Orc Archer present in battle.

Edit: It seems the wrong shots are only during the first turn, after that it corrects itself adding on the 2.
