That was cool. I hope it found enough nuts for winter and survived.

I miss the snow, the cold not so much...sorry to hear about the trees.


The trees, the trees, wont anyone please think to the trees (not counting the squirrel and Jan).

... who is willing to share their dungeon source txt files... I'll always be willing to share, but I'm with Trantor: ...you cannot learn anything from my work in progress.... and in most parts a lot more work is required in areas that I don't know how to do, so I've been trying to keep it basic, at...

While on the preview box. If the items were to be displayed in the same location is if they were in the dungeon, then an overlay/line dotting out wall and ceiling positions (that can be toggled on and off) would be handy too, to see locations of wall item side images, and to make monsters that can c...

The ranks are just like a little reward for being here. Some people will hang them on the walls in their office for all to see, others will put them in a box of memories to think back on (when or if they get time), others don't even realise they have them until the next time they tip over one. *sits...

Gambit will/could you move this post to the 'RTC suggestions', or should I make a new post there?

Looking at the DM and DM2 examples, you just have to add the objects onto the same tile as the mirror. I'm not sure if you can choose which specific location in the inventory the items go, but the characters seem to auto equip some objects like clothes and weapons.

This is like the weather channel.
It got a little cooler here too, well the locals were complaining about the cold, I just Roll My Eyes (RME) at them, it was only 26° C, they don't get snow.

I think it would be nice if the images in the preview box would align themselves with their offsets from when you import them. This would save a lot of loading and reloading of your dungeon just to check if the images are positioned correctly and the monster (for example) doesn't jump to much when i...

Thanks, for a minute there I thought I was getting old and needed glasses. Not that I don't have glasses but they are more for long distance, so I don't think I need bifocals yet.

Not sure if I should say bump , or quote myself again, or just wait till more images go up, or just assume people will be notified when the wiki changes though auto reply things. So until someone complains (or I get banned). There are some more plant monster images added to the Wiki. ...I've just st...

Yes, I think it is if she was the one putting the feathers on the nest, but in this case she is overseeing the feathering, and the male is putting down the feathers. Does that still make it brooding?

...Hey, I'm now a Journeyman when did that happen?

She does seem to have more energy recently, restless/bored energy, needing to make sure everything is done.

Is there an easy way to target tiles in a large dungeon? You know when you set targets on relays for example, but you have a large dungeon, and only a small map pops up to locate your target on and a takes a few clicks on random tiles in the right area before you locate the one you want. Is there an...

The thing was it only had 3 items on the tile, two triggers that targeted each other (with a delay) and not many other things. Deleting them one at a time in the edit menu had no problem. It was only when I tried deleting the whole tile.

True, but if my wife had any say in it, it will be sooner rather than latter.

Thank you all...I think I mentioned expecting a baby in 'So, tell us about yourself...' thread but that was so long ago.

Money, if there is anything you wanted to know, I'm no expert, but we have brought and researched a lot of stuff.

In the editor when you delete something that is targeted by something else in the dungeon a warning pops up, sometimes many, sometimes so many (51) that it crashes (I think due to a loop, targets on the same tile targeting each other ). Could there be an 'Ignore All' button added to the first warnin...

I don't want my special monsters that I created for mechanics to show up in the stats list when the game ends. Could we have a way of flagging these as not registered for stats? In the mean time could monsters used for mechanics be a cloned monster called 'Monster Mechanic' so players know they hav...

... my Windows 7 Party pack just arrived... Congratulations :wink: And well done with the baby too. My/our, first baby (girl) is due in about 5wks, about 5wks because the doctors here seem to keep changing their minds, my wife is currently aiming for sooner rather than later. ...You can make a mobi...

What's the difference between 'Triggering/Member' and 'Party/Members' in the relay?
Could setting it to 'Party/Members' sellect all the party rather than 4 relays selecting them individually? Edit:(unless you set it to 'less than or equal to')

(ps Ents are now on the Wiki)

...the avatar is a combo of an evil tree, with a normal tree and a merchant face...making the side and back images won't be that hard I'll put them on the wiki when i'm done. I wanted an Ent-ish looking avatar.

...there's a mechanism for testing experience levels... Cool. ...every time you increase or decrease the player's experience through an action, RTC gives you a big fat coloured message at the bottom of the screen... I can turn this off in the 'Edit' menu 'Edit Text Strings' and have a mechanic in t...

...Cool, I was going to ask how the PARTY_TILE worked but you bet me to it. I'll have to try using that for my underwater damage instead my complicated way, it would make it easier to to have special items turn off the damage. Does the tile know what your party is carrying? or does it just effect th...

Have a tick box in level setup, or some way to restrict experience levels. This well mean plots then can play a key roll in success, or make very challenging contests where completing it at the lowest experience level is sort after, as well as quickest time. I like the book idea that is similar to '...

In RTC is there a way to restrict level/s of the character? The ideas is similar to conflux where the character must complete tasks to allow level up. Or having a book/journal similar to 'restricted runes' and they place their rewards into it, or get their tasks recorded into. (like a book that reco...

Welcome to the forums, it's always good to get a new enthusiasts posting. haven't looked at the .txt file yet, but if it works well with little to no bugs don't forget to place it in the Dungeon Master Wiki.

...It's good to quote me...some don't have 'add bitmap' information though/yet.

As I have not finished a dungeon yet this is all as at this moment. 1: Monsters: I change them to suite location in the dungeon (earlier easier/weaker ect). New monsters from what I’ve found around the forum (been placing these on the wiki), usually tweaked clones of similar ones. 2: Items: only a f...

now, the question is, is he entitled to his feelings on the subject? After all, could it perhaps be argued you have created a dependency here? Perhaps he now plans his day around that coin. I say yes, he is 'entitled' to his feelings, after a week of receiving a coin the beggar I would assume the b...

Thanks, that was it. Made it easy when I new what to look for.
