Greetings,

I'm testing some things, and wonder if there is any way to lauch RTC without the opening splash screens / animation. This is getting in the way of productivity.

Thanks!

I assume you're referring to the conversion of creature graphics from the Amiga version, or are all of the graphics different? I have noticed that the creature graphics from the Amiga version of DMII are less cartoonish and would be preferable. I'm personally more motivated to update DM and CSB, sin...

I'm just trying to find a way to improve them. Originally I played on a 12 inch Atari ST Monitor. Now I'm playing on a 20 inch monitor, and the old 16-color 640x400 graphics could use a tiny improvement, such as cramming the DM2 graphics into DM via RTC :/

The tricky part is figuring out what to do with items that do not have counterparts in DM2 such as the doors with windows in them, lion/medusa fountain, etc... probably why no one has done the total conversion yet. Hmm... I'll have to dump the graphics from both games and see what the scope of this ...

From what I can tell with RTC, the procedure is to edit/create the *.txt file that defines the dungeon. I too was hoping to be able to substitute higher quality graphics in the *.dat file, so that every dungeon would use them without me needing to manually edit each one. Here's what I did so far, by...

I was trying to find a way to soften the edges and add some anti-aliasing, without completely discarding the original detail. I tried using multiple translucent layers with different levels of pixelization.

Oh well

That's not quite what I meant. I would like to know if it is possible to use the dungeon graphics tiles from DMII (which are probably not complete) for DM and CSB dungeons.

I'm interested in improving the appearance of all of the dungeons other than DMII, which already has 256 color graphics.

How about something like this?

Thanks, I found a link to that earlier, but wasn't able to get any of the files to download. There was discussion that the graphics were not complete, which is fine - I was just enticed by the screenshots here: http://chaos.zpc.cz/dungeon.html I hoped that at least the walls, floors, and ceilings we...

Greetings,

The DM Encyclopedia points to an address where updated graphics for RTC are to be found, but I can't locate them. Can anyone suggest an alternative download site?

"Have a look at Cowsmanaut's Dungeon Master web site for a new set of graphics for RTC."
