Hi Michael,
I found a Silversword_help.pdf file but it is graphic and needs an
OCR package to convert it to readable text.
I wrote to Mario and maybe he will put out a RTF or TXT version.
Here is the section about the interface of the game that I used a
OCR on, but there may be scanning errors:
About the mechanics
Silversword is a game in the genre of The Bards Tale. This means, it
tries to simulate a roleplaying session like you might know from
Dungeons Dragons. you control a group (your "party') of up to seven
members. The first four slots are melee slots, meaning that this is
the front line when facing enemies. The last three slots are the
members in the second row, they have to use ranged weapons, special
items or magic spells to participate in combat.
Starting the game After having installed and started the game,you
are taken to the Ruin Camp.
In the Ruin Camp,you can find new heroes to join you on your
adventure. It might happen that your party is already filled with
some brave fellows, but you can of course create your own characters.
General interaction
you play the game by touching the elements on the screen.
4- Cross-hair panel
4- Cast Spell
4- Use Item
4- play Song
Spell Effects
4- Show Map
+mob Settings
A touchable area in the text output (upper right side of the screen)
is marked by brackets (e.g. "[ Touch me ]). We will call it "Link" from now on.
you can move by touching the view (upper left side of the screen) on
its upper half, or at its sides. But it is more elegant to use the
cross-hair panel, which you can activate by touching the cross-hair
symbol on the upper right side of your screen. Change the position
of the cross-hair panel by touching and dragging the symbol. you go
into character view by simply touching a character new in your party
roster, which fills up the lower half of your screen. To change
order or to rename or discard a character, see the section "Managing
your party". By touching the Spell Effects area,you can get an
overview of active spell effects that are summoned by your party
members. It is possible to end an effect before it fades by itself
-just touch the entry and confirm.
The party roster The lower half of the screen is reserved for your
party members. you can form a party of up to seven characters. Shown
are the name, the armour class (AC), the actual condition, the
current hit points, the current spell points, and the class shortcut
of each character. The actual condition may be either your full hit
point value, or one of the following:
PSND your character is poisoned.
NUTS your character is insane, he may attack your party.
POSS your character is haunted by evil spirits. Dangerous!
INC? your character is incapacitated and can't act in combat.
STUN your character is paralyzed, AC counts only 50%!
STON your character has turned in to stone.
DEAD guess what?
The Ruin Camp
In the Ruin Camp you have the following options: [
Create a character] [
Acid a character] [
