Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Blood & Magic

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Blood & Magic is just your average Dungeons & Dragons RTS on the PC... that's what you're told, anyway. A couple of copies of the demo, such as the one in the The Forgotten Realms Archives, contain the source code and assets used for the game.

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: See if the monochrome monitor can be made working again. There's also a map editor that was commented out of the final game.

Monochrome Monitor#

While the messages that were meant to be printed using a monochrome monitor are still in the game's executable, the functionality itself appears to be disabled.

GETSRC#

In the final version of the game, there's a batch file named GETSRC, which was likely used to copy over the code to other places for portability. This is also likely how The Forgotten Realms Archives ended up with a copy of the game's source code.

md c:\watcom\code
md c:\watcom\code\bam
md c:\watcom\code\tigre
xcopy code\bam c:\watcom\code\bam
xcopy code\tigre c:\watcom\code\tigre
