I’m currently playing Exile III, a shareware game on my computer. It’s a rather complicated game and has extensive menus for listing scores of spells, potions, character attributes, etc… It would be very helpful if I could put all this information into lists that I could print out, but how?
Most of this information appears to be stored as data in the main .EXE file, rather than anything like a Windows Help file. The menus display the data in a way that suggests that it’s stored in file/form/field format, but I haven’t a clue how I could access it directly.
The only way I can copy the information as displayed is to do sceen captures- as pictures of text rather than text. This would be unimaginably tedious and cumbersome. I was thinking of seeing if I could dig it out of the EXE with a hex editor, but that sounds only marginally easier. Any other options?
This is the Table of Contents of a walk-through at gamefaqs.com. It has lots of lists in it. If you’re worried about accidentally seeing something you don’t want to you can have a friend edit those parts out. It’s a great site.
