I think that the ability to draw one long wall and have the engine chop it up is great. After all I make all my images in this way anyway so that all the shading macthes up. Could that be possible? After all then if it flipped the source image and then chopped it it would still all match up as it sh...

I'm not sure exactly what you would need this for Gambit.. You are talking about a simulated bump map. Something that is just starting to show up in the new 3d engines.. However they have a wider range of angles .. I can't really see why you would need that in a DM clone. It's far easier to just dra...

It would be the artists to vote for such a thing eh?

BTW I'm in on that one too!

This would be one of those .. should it be fixed things.. Would it be unrealstic for a monster to walk into the smoke? Should Creatures not join forces when the option presents itself? If so.. why? Realize that some issues with DM revolve around the limits placed on the team for the Apple IIe .. Thi...

I would like to point out that part of what RTC represents is the ability to improve DM. There are a few things that one should consider. 1. running into a thrown obj. Can you do this? In real life that is. A fireball sure.. could be it travels real slow when you release it but that's magic. however...

sorry.. wrong puzzle... oops uhm try 'zo kath ra' it's .01kg
cheers

air is very light.. hmmm what could you contain air in? think.. you'll get it

I've noticed the chat room but no I never used it.. again.. no one ever in there.. to many people got to many things to do..

Ninja skills as I remember them.. 1.better open hand combat and increased dammage for weapons 2.increased aim and power to thrown objs 3.increased evade blows 4.and then there are the lock picks if you get a high enough level and you may get to make use of them but only on gold key locks (the most c...

I would first like to point out that it's not really my clone. It's george's clone I'm just doing graphics for it. 3D would not destroy the feel of DM at all. However one must recognize where the differences between quake and DM *REALLY* lay. The most important does not lay with the engine .. not ex...

Dragons a very weak against poison. Poison cloud and poison ball will kill a dragon faster than anything else. One Mon Poison cloud killed a dragon in CSB, at least from my memory. Course he had nowhere else to go so he sat in it. also in the area in CSB where there are all the dragons and flase wal...

The sites working again and the update is now there.. enjoy

I have an update to the Graphics of the dungeon but the FTP is down for some reason.. If anyone wants the update send me an email and I'll send it off to ya. Drake@paralynx.com I've added a bunch of new stuff but most of it is not yet complete (I basically need to touch it up for seams and shading/c...

well, a different possibility is to gain knowledge of Runes. A starting wizard or preist would know all the power runes but maybe not any of the active spell runes. I would require your finding the symbols on parchment or walls etc. It could add annother level to game play in that you may need to se...

Hey guys, The new page is up.. The Feedback and Contact buttons may not work right just yet. However the Get it button works just fine. You have the option of downloading the whole bundle which provides the demo with it or just single sets like just the walls, items, monsters, etc. Cheers! Drake htt...

Check your mail. I don't know that people want to hear the boring details I've gone into about the discussed graphics structure..

Hi there everyone, I've updated the webpage and started once again from scratch on the walls. I need to make a major change on the side walls still (the stones are still too close together) but I have lightened the dungeon graphics to match more closely the DM ones. You'll notice the wall objects li...

The darkness .. hmm I could lighten it up a bit more. I'm trying to make it a more realistic lighting. I suppose however that I could lighten the images more and still retain that. One big detail with the mirrors and other wall objects is that they are lightened by the code and not ahead of time. Th...

isn't the the vault the one that says "cast your influence cast you might"?
I should go check.. I may have just confused him.. oops

hey there folks! the following URL is the place where I'm storing the Graphics I'm working on. I'm in the middle of updating some of it so it doesn't all match up yet but you can go look at it anyway if you like. <a href="http://tony.object1.com/DM/">tony.object1.com/DM/</a> I'll post upda...

I didn't take any offence man. I know how easy it is for a project to become vapourware. It's hard for independant projects to stay afloat and I admire Alandale's commitment to DMJAVA so far. As a sort of update the game now has the intro, some dungeons, an ending and annother ending I just mad is a...

DM JAVA was not a practical joke the game is mostly complete. It will be completed soon. I take some responsibility for it's lateness since I was asked to help make the ending and intro. I'm nearly done the ending and the intro is complete.

So hopefully DM JAVA will be out very soon.

The first that you speak of was an April Fool's joke, and there's information on the main part of this site about it.

Really? I wonder how it lasted so long as a rumour if it's a fake? I never tried but I heard several people say it did work but only with a certain version.
oh well..

Actually, it would not be unlimited.
For the same reason the Ven potions were un-popular. They destroy the flask. There is limited numbers of these as you all well know.
So it wouldn't really unbalance the game at all.

there is supposed to be one for the Amiga DM that when you are about to kill the dragon you pause the game and type "Lord libiraslus smites thee down" or something like that and the dragon dies leaving a fire staff.. I never tried it but but who knows.. there is also a cloning object trick...

Does anyone have a suggestion on where I can store the NEWDM demo with the newer GFX for all of you to Download. I need a place where I can add and remove files with sizes larger than a simple 200k.
if so I will provide them so that I can get some feed back on what I have so far.
Drake out...

Well on my Pentium 200MMX the only thing that I notice is the lag on the mouse.. but on my friends pentium 133 with 16megs ram and a 2 meg vid card it's very slow. However the code from what George told me has not been optimized at all. Remember this is only a demo the cade was written for functiona...

well, so far we have had 4 posts.. Enzo stating the new changes to the board George with the RTC post ZYX saying hi more or less And my self also saying hi. that has been it since the holidays. I know that Enzo has some new responsibilities that would demand most of his free time and I do not expect...

I had done nearly half the dungeon GFX with the new clone. So yes someone had done something with the new clone. It's just there is a limit (200k) to files size and u/l don't always work so I'll I could put up are examples. When I first tried to put up the GFX set it crashed and put like 8 empty fil...

No, no, not at all! It shouldn't be dead. The modified RTC that I used is the engine that George has already 'given' to the clone project. It's freely downloadable from the resources page on the Clone website. Why should you give up on the graphics? I wasn't treading on anybone's toes in showing my ...
