Moin, ich bin ein großer Fan von dem Spiel Conquestador auf dem PC aber zum einen endet das Spiel bei 50000 Siegespunkte, was ein bestimmter Spieler zu schnell schafft🫣 Da haben die Programmierer gepennt. Dann würde ich noch gerne zwei veränderungen machen die das Spiel vereinfachen würde, kann das jemand hier?????

Please post in English. Many (probably most) people here do not speak German.

You can use an online translator as I just did.

German/Deutsch :

Bitte posten Sie auf Englisch. Viele (wahrscheinlich die meisten) Leute hier sprechen kein Deutsch.

Sie können, wie ich es gerade getan habe, einen Online-Übersetzer verwenden.

1Hey, I'm a big fan of the PC game Conquestador, but for one thing, the game ends at 50,000 victory points, which one player achieves too quickly. The programmers were asleep. I'd also like to make two changes that would simplify the game. Can anyone here do this?

If an MS-DOS game has an arbitrary end at a score of 50.000 points, this is most likely due to a technical limitation. The score is most likely stored as a 16-bit integer number, which can only represent values between 0 and 65.535, so if your score would exceed 65.535 points, it will wrap back to zero. Ending the game at 50.000 points is a straightforward design to prevent this overflow from happening. So a mod to remove this limitation would not only need to remove the win condition of 50.000 points, but it also would need to extend the score variable to 32 bits (which would allow a maximum score slightly above 4 billions (German: 4 Milliarden)). Also, score values exceeding 99.999 formatted as decimal values are longer than the programmer expected, so some buffers might get to small to hold a score that big. This may increase the amount of work to remove the score limit even further. I don't think you would be content with a new score limit of 65.000 or 99.999, but if 50.000 feels way too low, you likely want a limit of several millions.

So I am afraid that I don't expect anyone is going to offer to that mod, unless that person is personally interested in having this modification for personal use as well. This makes it not very likely you find someone here on VOGONS, although it isn't impossible. I sincerely wish you good luck finding someone!

Danke für die super Antwort, ja denke auch das ich hier keinen finden werde, aber versuchen kann ich es Mal😀
