Hi there,
First of all, thanks for getting the manual uploaded, that's a great help.
Unfortunately though, I'm a complete beginner when it comes to debugging etc. Anyone able to give a quick guide as to what I have to do to apply these modifications? Do I need any specific software, or can this be done in Dos?
Cheers

There's a procedure to get this game up & running without any hacking or crack. The availability of the manual makes cracking the copy protection (which has yet to be fully defeated) a moot point. Here's how to get the game working:

Game is now playable in 4 easy steps:
1. Download the main program zip from this site & install it
2. Do NOT run the crack file, just delete it
3. Download the 1.013 patch zip & apply it (if you cannot find it, message me, I'll email you it)
2. Download the manual from this site (essential, unplayable without it)
The manual is needed because without it you cannot get past the manual copy protection built into the game (the supplied crack doesn't remove all the protection) & the patch is needed because the main executable file has already been 'cracked' even if you don't run the crack supplied, which triggers an additional copy protection measure that will cripple your game after about 6 hours of playing.
I've now been playing for quite some time, it's just as I remembered it, sort of.
In answer to the question about the theives tools above, I cannot say for certain, but there is a theives guild in a tower inside Teal. Theives tools may be inside, but presently I cannot fight past a band of cutthroughts to progress beyond the very beginning of that tower.
