Gutan Dag! I hope two posts in a row isn't too impolite : ) I wanted to let everyone know that the new automap is also available on github, easily found by searching (with quotes) "fate-automap" and then click on the one result: "fateAutomap/fate-automap". Locate and click "...

Well, it's taken a day or two, but eventually I've refined the automap to work with either Fate v1.6 or Fate v1.7 running under WinUAE or FS-UAE. It also has a few over-the-top quality-of-life features like full party restore of health, mana, food, drink, and piasters, and the option to teleport. I ...

Guten Tag from Rangerous the Second, I’ve been enjoying Fate quite a bit again lately, and that sent me back into the rabbit hole of the automap tool I had posted here years ago. Back then (around 2019), I had just finished my own reverse engineering pass and thought I had something decent — right u...

I just played with it for a bit, and it still has problems. Specifically, I think I should fix it so that you can move the map around using the mouse, because it's too easy to get lost using keyboard zoom and arrow keys. Because of that challenge, it's no fun to use right now, except for the very li...

[quote="Ajam"]You have to be Administrator to use the Automap.[/quote] Thanks for the kind words, and also for letting us all know that it must be run as administrator. Sorry it's taken me so long, but I had to learn a great deal to achieve the current version, and I'm a slow learner :) Th...

The Encounter Table encodes each encounter group's x,y location into two bytes (one each for x and y). As you noted, this is able to encode (x,y) locations through an extent of (0 to 255,0 to 255) or, if signed, (-128 to 127,-128 to 127). Regrettably, Wilderness locations have a greater extent of (0...

Alright, thank you for the feedback. I'll try a new approach which should be more generic. It may work no matter which emulator is used, and for either the German v1.7 or the English v1.6, but it will take me some time to complete. I'll search windows for a process called either winuae.exe or fs-uae...

I've been fairly happy with the Python automap of Fate v1.6 under FS-UAE, except for the outdoor, wilderness map. I had hoped that someone might be willing to provide a folder of all the Fate maps in BMP format, using the game's naming system. That would have completed all but the outdoor wilderness...

I really appreciated the great information available at dungeony.rpghry.cz, especially the webmaster's obvious enthusiasm and excitement for Fate! I am sorry to say that I haven't been able to raise that web site recently. Does anyone have an update on the owner of the dungeony site? Is he well? Tha...

I've now updated automap for both Fate v1.6 (English) and Fate v1.7 (Deutsche) under the FS-UAE.exe emulator. This uses static logic that tests the contents of a few memory locations to validate whether version 1.6 or 1.7 of Fate is running. Then it uses the relevant memory locations in the detected...

This automap is valid only for Fate v1.6 English version running under the FS-UAE emulator: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qlOCW02x_LsudTvmMp6wI89x5s0Rs0ga Here's a youtube summary: https://youtu.be/D0dbKe4wkIo I've included a compiled exe which can be run independently, as well as the Python sou...

Fate Automap is still a work in progress. Current status can be found here:

Q: "How big is this?" A: The town, city, and dungeon automap is 56x56. The wilderness automap is 640x400. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Q: "How does it connect to the emulator?" A: It assumes the emulator is FS-UAE, running the v1.6 English vers...

So far, I have a Python script that's only been tested on my own system, with the English version 1.6 of Fate running under FS-UAE.exe on Windows 10, available at the following post:

Thanks to all the enthustic response to my limited Larvin automap program, I've gone ahead and compiled the Python source code into a Windows .exe file. There is no longer any need to install Python on your computer to use this limited automap capability. In its current form, the map is only relevan...

I think you are saying that you are *able* to make the initial save (e.g. game1, game2, ... game8) but if you try to save again, over the top of that save game, it fails. Anyway, ... I'm struggling with the idea of Windows permissions. I believe that, wherever Fate is located, FS-UAE does not have o...

Edit: I have identified many of the main memory locations that would be needed to set up the automap (referenced to invisibleshadow's megapacket running v1.6 under FS-UAE): 0x800545D0 East-West Coordinates (4 bytes, big-endian) 0x800545D4 North-South Coordinates (4 bytes, big-endian) 0x800545D8 Faci...

Hi. According to Fred Solheim (FS-UAE author), it is best to unpack compressed file archives and work with uncompressed folders when using FS-UAE.

Try unpacking and launching from the uncompressed folders.

Just a thought. Hope this helps!

Respectfully, Rangerous the Second
