Re: Unidentified German magazine scan

Found not this one yet, but check https://www.kultboy.com/testbericht-uebersicht/52/ for more DM stuff. About the scan: I wonder why they gave a 'game of the week'. I doubt that there was any weekly computer magazine. Also it is said, that it is available for Amiga and PC only, while the first one w...

Re: 2022 Dungeon Master "remake" in Unreal Engine 5

Young people often have fantastic plans and quick first results - until they meet reality and face how much work it is at all. The only here announced thing that I saw so far which was realized was the Legend of Grimrock. Rasmus' 3D-DM was a pretty nice trial. Too bad he decided to make other things.

Re: Dungeon Master Music

:) Love it too. I just had the idea to put the hmp->mid converted DM2 music into Cakewalk to listen, what the Bandlab synth makes with it. It is impressive, but surely would need some adjustments. Not necessarily with the instruments, but loudness of the several voices. Surely sounds better than the...

I'm not that sophisticated. My old D-20 had this one as Demo Song in it. It's here (at 2:23). Wonder how it would sound with my soundfonts today. I even would be satisfied to match this quality :D

Hi Sphenx, if you really will 'redo' something with it, perhaps don't overwrite the current version, but post a fresh one.

Right now I just begin to work with Cakewalk. It's not as comfortable as Cubase, but it's for free and nowadays that's important to me.

I just wanted to know what happens if a midi-converted hmp-file of DM2 gets audioconverted by BandLab's Cakewalk. The result is pretty similar to the result given by using the Roland SC-55 soundfont plugin with the Coolsoft Midimapper. So, with no additional work, we get a fine result. Unfortunately...

Don't forget that some structures are different, one of them is about gdat. In the 2021-versions there is a notes-folder with some hints about it.
