If your mana pools aren't high enough to support buffing all of the buffable stats to the level I just described, I would just layer the buffs until each stat reaches 120+ and then refresh the buffs when the stats begin falling into the ~100 to ~110 range. I'll probably just stick to strength. Take...

I'm essentially of the opinion that it doesn't make a terribly big difference which Champions you use if you know a lot about the game's mechanics Indeed. All this is just about min maxing, which doesn't seem terribly useful in this game. Keeping all four buffs up is nice Does that work? Seems you ...

To jayrshaw: Very interesting info, thanks Perhaps the characters with the average stats are the best then.

The degradation of buffed stats becomes much faster once you buff a character's stat to a level which is more than twice the character's natural level for that stat - this is one of the main factors which will determine how high you can buff a character's stats without having to rebuff very frequen...

Arguably the best characters are the ones with the highest wisdom, like Chani, but it probably doesn't matter once you start stacking wisdom potions. Did a little test with just reincarnated Chani to see how overpowered you can become before level 3 while only using screamer slices as food for train...

Can anyone recommend a version of DM that has a mini map you can look at while traversing the dungeon? ... A preferable map, would be one that fills up in real time as you're traversing the dungeon, but doesn't show any areas you haven't visited yet... Any mods or versions of DM with this style of ...

I find all this talk about 'which character', 'resurrect or reincarnate', 'leveling up', etc. rather amusing Indeed. It doesn't matter what you start with. I started my first real play-through with reincarnated Chani and Syra (reincarnate -> save -> import). Only the start of the game is actually h...

Thanks. I did a presentation on cloud based security yesterday and it went really well, and earlier today I tool a Spanish exam and it also went quite well. Did you get good grades? I'll pick up the winUAE version later, I'm beta testing a new custom RTC dungeon first, then I'll have some time to p...

Dat character creation

I've never really bothered with the booster potions, unless I found one in the dungeon. I never bothered with them, either, until I started playing the hard dungeon in meynaf's ST port of the game. It was in that dungeon that I discovered how useful they can be. When I played most of my DM, it was ...

I've never tried more than one KU/strength or ROS/dex potion at a time, generally whatever strength I found in the dungeon, and didn't see it making a significant difference except for that one point where you have to shoot an arrow a long way on level 6. Stat boost potions become effective when yo...

I also find the scorpions way too fast for the hit and run strategy to work on them, and they hit HARD with the nastiest poison in the game on top of all that. Just tank them. When you play with just two characters, they become quite strong (as in lots of health) and can tank almost anything that d...

Just use the latest version. Should work fine under WinUae. A Windows version doesn't exist, it's strictly Amiga.

Good luck with your assignments and exam

Of course, I could always make you a special CSB version on RTC where the fireball spell is disabled for the party, then you wouldn't have that option of fireball nuking everything. :P Lightening bolts :P My Amiga's long since broken... :cry: Sorry to hear that :( You could get it repaired... if yo...

The supplies for the quick area can be challenging in itself, with all those lightning throwing eyeballs floating around Had problems with those, too. It's still more fun than simply resurrecting four CSB characters. With those you can simply nuke everything with fireballs in the starting area. The...

Gusty move, reincarnated DM characters with no training to start CSB. I'd imagine the start must have been HARD with just those 2 characters on top of that. I doubt many have attempted to start CSB like that. Yeah, was much harder than I thought it would be. Doesn't stay hard for very long, though....

For my first play through I started with reincarnated Chani and Syra (just reincarnate, save and import). When you don't know CSB, the beginning is HARD that way. Becomes easy quickly, though.

I find mods to be essential for Skyrim. First there are the unofficial patches, which fix many issues. Then there's SkyUi which changes the GUI from a console GUI to a proper PC GUI. And of course HiAlgo boost, which is a great little program that can vastly enhance performance of the game on low en...

You mean 3D, I guess. No, I really mean 2D. A good example of a Dungeon Master style game that has a 3D world is Hired Guns. If you really want to get technical, all graphics rendered on a normal screen are really 2d using perspective to create the illusion of 3d on a 2d surface. About the only way...

Not to mention that a Dungeon Master dungeon is a collection of flat maps connected by pits, stairs and teleporters, making the game world 2D as well.

This also explains why I didn't care for CSB: the dungeon was simply too hard. Too hard? Just wait until you try meynaf's nightmare dungeon. Now that is a really difficult dungeon ;) Disliked - Overall slowness (Amiga 1200) Indeed. Even on an A1200 with 68030 processor this thing can really crawl. ...

Haven't played it for years, don't know why. Perhaps I'll pick it up again.

It's true it can be done. The old save game I have has Torham in a situation where he's getting as many charged items and bombs as possible. After that it's straight onto Dragoth. About levels: You do actually gain a few because of the reflector shield's reflector spell spamming (needed to kill mini...

Yeah, that's what I want to know as well. Anyone tried this dungeon? I have (I have an Amiga), and it's very, very tough, but oodles of fun to play.

Come guys, you're not going to tell me that none of you have an Amiga or a suitable WinUae setup?

Hi,

For everyone who doesn't have an Amiga, I've made an ADF file for WinUae which contains meynafs nightmare dungeon and his modified Dungeon Master version. However, I can't seem to upload it anywhere. Can this be solved somehow?

That's nitpicking ;-) The point is, there's no converter that does what you want. You could write one, of course. ;) Perhaps, it's just that almost nothing is impossible with computers ;) Anyway, meynaf seems to have some sort of editor. He's on the English Amiga Board, so I'll just ask him for his...

All dungeons made with the newest versions of CSBuild simply can't be converted, whether they use "extras" or not -- because the file format has changed. Although existing programs can't do it, technically any dungeon that only uses the original features can be converted to the old format...

Thanks for the quick replies, but I want to convert CSBWin dungeons that don't use any extras to one of the original formats. If that's not possible, or a big pain, then too bad I guess. The reason, if anyone wants to know, is that I still use an Amiga (not WinUae) for various things, including play...

Hi,

Is there any good way to convert CSBuild dungeons to the original ST format (or Amiga/PC)?

Any help is appreciated.

You stil have an Amiga? Cool! Yes, I do. It's an A1200 with 50 mhz 68030, 16 mb extra ram, 40gig hd and a 52x32x52x speed CD rewriter. You mean you're still using it sometimes? Even more cool! Of course I use it :D I use it for assembler programming and some games like Dunegon Master (hd patch, I h...
