FACT: Wayne has ZERO interest in doing anything with this IP these days Now, unless anyone can persuade Wayne to change his mind, (which is even less likely than seeing a tap-dancing sperm whale travelling on the top deck of an open-top bus while whistling "If it ain't got that swing" and...

Actually you can add teleport to the movable wall and then add alcove to it. As far as I remember you must save and reload your project to be able to add alcove to the movable wall.

P.

I'm not sure it's actually wrong. Take under consideration a lock and lockpicks. You should hear a "click" sound each time while using lockpicks on the lock regardless the probability. The same reffers to pressure pads, buttons, etc. Maybe you should consider another approach to enable an ...

Yes, but you could share your general impressions with us. That won't spoil it I think.

Hi, I want to create items that adjust stats, but the only way to do this seems to be to clone an aleady existing one, I can't choose which stat to adjst,or by how much. Not implemented (yet?). You can set only monsters' stats in current RTC version. I want to create an alcove that replenishes an it...

Most of you are probably going to the cinema to look the latest episode. I've been amused by reading what parallels some people are seeing beetween the film story and political reality in world. It looks like the most political film since Fahrenheit 9/11 :wink: Some examples below: http://cbs4boston...

Ouch, my finger.
No more any helicopters!

You may also check IP addresses (if you have it in log files), especially the first two numbers and then if they are the same you could ban all IP range.

all right... i tried several ways and i got something that 'may' work but not in all cases. http://redribbon.planet-d.net/dm/COUNTERSTRIKESBACK.txt Great job, Linflas :) It works as expected! I've noticed that the only difference between your and my example is one extra relay to re-activate coin sl...

Thanks for your input. Alas, this is not exactly what I try to obtain. I've prepared the counters.txt as a simplified instance to throw light on the problem. My real intention is: a.) to create something like a shop where you can buy some item for a certain amount of coins (for example for 2 gold an...

I found some trouble when I tried to connect 3 counters in the way as below: COIN_SLOT1 -> C1 ********************* \ ********************* C3 -> SHOOTER ********************* / COIN_SLOT2 -> C2 C1,C2 & C3 count = 2 You can easily notice that the shooter should be activated when you put 2 coins ...

Your counter can activate a relay and then relay will deactivate this counter as many times as you want (maximum 8 times, but you can use more relays if necessary). So, if you have, for example, a counter with count=4, you can set for such relay 4*dectivate the counter. This kind of "reset"...

Look at the counter (21,24,5) on standard DM map and connected with it 4 switches. This is a good example. Another example: You have one door and two triggers on floor. Door can be opened only when two triggers get a proper item (e.g. stone). If you remove the item from one of triggers then door wil...

Toggling of counters is already used in certain situations and changing its behaviour would destroy backward compatibility.

However the counter reset would be a very useful idea but not in this way.

Sadly the theory is wrong. RTC saves whatever you put as the filename as a binary stream without looking at it at all. It then passes the stream directly to the DirectX APIs. When the file is compiled etc it makes no difference whatsoever; it's just a string of bytes that RTC knows nothing about; i...

Interesting - as you say, it's down to the DirectX layer as RTC just passes the byte stream into the DX APIs and "hopes" it works. RTC itself doesn't actually *do* anything with the data. It just came into my mind that DX has probably nothing to do. The error occurs when the project is co...

If you take an uncompressed PCM WAVE file and save it in a .RTC file, it's automatically compressed by around a factor of 4 (George's RTC format is compressed, like a ZIP file). If your compressed WAVE file is in 4-bit ADPCM formt, you'll be making around about the same savings. WAVE files are gene...

As standard WAVEs take a lot of diskspace and RTC files are growing very quickly, I tried to add to the project some compressed ones but I got an error as below: *** CRITICAL ERROR (line 24): Could not interpret sound file for SOUND_OTHER_GROWL3. Expecting a WAVE or RIFF encoded file. I can play the...

Bonjour Phantomlord,

I think that Steem is quite good. A few years ago it was the only emulator I could run Chaos Strikes Back.

Steem home page is here:
http://steem.atari.st/

Don't forget to download a TOS Rom (equivalent of Amiga KickStart )

Pedro

Yeah, it must have been in DMJ then. My mind just mixed it with original DM
Anyway, I think it's not too bad idea to add that feature to RTC, is it ?

As far as I remember (from original DM) there was one particular feature of the cursed sword (and probably the cursed armour too). When it was put into hand of character it stayed there and wasn't possible to remove it.
Would it be possible to implement such element for RTC too?

Today I discovered a strange minor bug. When a cloned monster with flip=-1 is visible through a portcullis door it flips as if this parameter were positive. If I open the door it stops flipping and then if I close again it starts flipping again. Test example is here: http://www.traser.republika.pl/o...

Thanks for the advice, I have sentiment for original walls of DM and I rather don't want to create any new wallsets (at least much diffrent). Another reason is to not spoil an unique dungeon atmosphere with some overdone stuff. The point was to improve a bit traditional look (you know, 320x200 doesn...

I wasn't aware that this is a bug :) Moreover, I used this feature in several places in my dungeon because it seemed to be more convenient to make multi-text tiles (first step displays first text, second step displays second text, etc.). If this is a bug I will have to change it all (or not use a ne...

Did you try to run the system with no CD & DVD devices ? You can also try some diagnose software like "Fresh Diagnose" or sth like this. I rather doubt that Windows makes this problem, however everything is possible (drivers' problem) ... Do you have enough disk space for swap file ? B...

This key is carried by one of demons near the master key lock.
Look at the floor around. Maybe you've killed him already and you just didn't notice the key in fervour of battle.

Hello, Would you, as dungeon players, be happy playing in custom dungeon with a bit modified wallset looking as below: Modified: http://www.traser.republika.pl/other/1.gif Original: http://www.traser.republika.pl/other/2.gif The only diffrence beetwen walsets is that the first one is displayed with ...

Do you intend to display the floortext only when two conditions are met (pressed switch and party on grate)? If so, I suggest you to add one counter=2 and connect the switch trigger and party trigger (on grate) to the counter. The trigger should be set with "constant weight" parameter (and...

Some time ago I had a similar problem. I checked all elements - memory, video card, etc. and they worked perfectly on another computer. Then I discovered that the computer power point was just too week to provide electricity to all devices, especially when they were working simultaneously (two HDD +...
