Why not work out how the items are saved in the savegame files and modify them there?

It's not that easy actually, since the hex-code for item(s) changes all the time and depending on the party location in the game world, what was before a hex-code for some sword would be now a code for some other item. I tried earlier to hex-edit my savegames, but always got illegal items after going to a different area. To make the matters worse, hex-codes for items seem to be located not just in a single location but on many.
Don't think there've even been any inventory editors for Lands of Lore, ever, only trainers and at best character stats editors.

I did some looking around, and I found some old posts from 2006:

"Die 48 Items im gemeinsamen Gep ck" (they forgot to translate it) means "The 48 items in shared inventory".

When you click on the link in post #2, you'll find the item locations (offset 618-713).

Other than that, I do have a savegame from a guy nicked Reanimator from the start of the game, with items not found anywhere in the game. However, these don't have any graphics not used elsewhere in the game. I think it has some of the items from the bottom list:

2. Zephyr ring
3. Bow "Tempest"
4. Cloud ring *
5. Great bow "Darkness" *

staff "Gainful"
bloody staff
trident "Pestilence"
Mesmer's great helm
aegis kite shield
bronze key
blood key
talba ring
vortex scroll

This is the full list of unknown items of Lands.
It is created by Maerryji (algorithm) and Me (performance) .

I've also tried hex-editing myself, and once I got an item 'Quarrel', that looked like one of the Great Mauls, but it wasn't equipable. In fact, it didn't do anything.

As reported by someone else a page or so back, as soon as I pick my hero, the game crashes to a black screen. I'm running the game through DosBox in Windows Vista Home.

Any solution?

Regards,
Michael

Pardon, may I know what you did in Dosbox under Vista ? Make sure you have the latest version of Dosbox.

I'm running the latest version of DosBox (0.74), and am running everything "normally", no strange commands or anything. All other games I have seem to run fine, I'm just having a problem with Lands of Lore right now.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Michael

What do you mean "normally"? Can you post your mount commands, as sometimes faults like this come form mounting the games folder as C:, instead of another folder with the game folder inside of it.

It should work considering the fact that you did it right. Here is a suggestion, you can try downloading the game again and then running it in dosbox. There has been some rare cases where the downloaded archive appears to be corrupted or faulty or even different from the one you have right now. But like I said it is rare.
