In that context, can you pls tell me what is wrong b-n map 25 and 44 entrance (from map 22 enter the closer to you teleport to appeat at map 25)? It is part of the same teleporter problem I've had ever map 0 to map 40 same issue THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN I WALK BACKWARD, I GO THROUGH THE ARC BUT IT ...

the connection between the two maps isn't as smooth as in my Dundeon.dat - you appear almost hanging in the void and can see Draggoth. It means that it needs to be same direction (north,east,west,south) regardless of teleporter's direction setting. The portal to the mountain at map#38 directs from-...

Ok. It can be done by actuator's parameter.

- Actuator: Cross scene
- [Actu2] tab
- [Sw is On] turn on it.

Hi. here is a new release. http://kkdf2.sakura.ne.jp/DM/DMDC2_DM2GDED_Skwin_2014_03_18.7z Changes: DM2GDED Rev.9@20140318 SPX: • imp:ui: recent filename list now shows full path. • imp:ui: your own DM2 palette (256 colors) can be applied. DMDC2 Rev.11 DM2_EXTENDED_DATABASE@20140223 * imp: new "...

Hi. Sorry for late reply. yet images when imported use the default DM2 palette? I have confirmed DM2GDED's source code. Yes, you are right. It has a fixed palette (DM2 256 colors) internally. I'll release new version, so that you can apply your own palette (graphics.dat). Please wait some days...

Hi. So you can try it. Do you have a new set of 256 colors in a palette file or such? You'll need to convert it before importing. Do you know step by step how to do that? I've no idea where this palette is located to replace it, nor how to convert it. I have gimp to work with but idk what format it...

Hi. Can I modify the palette of DM2? I have a set of at least 16 colors that I need and got sick of having crappy images only cause these colors are missing in the palette.

Hi. about skwin, player colors are defined like this. http://kkdf2.sakura.ne.jp/DM/player_clrs.png food/water's red/yellow bars also can be defined. i've not tested yet. at [07 Interface - Character Sheet][00], - add "Word value" [06 00 00]. food's color from 256 colors palette. - add &quo...

Just quick reply. Please tell me if using another Terrain is possible or not I'll try with skwin. I'll let you know if there is good news :) also if I can change Life/mana bars like you did or not It can be done by editing graphics.dat. Use it with skwin. It won't work on retail DM2. EDIT: I'll publ...

Hi.

Is it enough?

Hi. It is up to you if you want to make these editable or not, just let me know if you will do, it doesn't matter to me. I will eventually have to use Yellowish and Red colors for these two bars.. I don't want to harass you. Sorry for my carelessness. And please don't mind about it. I think you are ...

Hi. @11. Ok something that is annoying - Is there a place to set what color the Food and Water bars will be? As I pointed in my first question they use the colors of Heroes' life bars, so if I set Green to be instead of Yellow or Red, when Food/Water becomes Yellow/Red it will display e.g Green that...

Hi. I edited the merchant's room and set the values to 43 FF {0050 0002 0000 0000} 0400, Still HOSTILE I have played and checked your map. You will have no problem. Perhaps the shop keeper wants to return the items, which he cannot sell, to you. For example, if you throw a moneybox into his room, he...

Hi. When you use this file, besides the shop keeper can you pls also try to see the reason for this image: http://i.imgur.com/ksiu9j3.png Perhaps you may already notice that "Cross scene" actuator displays only objects (creatures and items) on connected map. The "scene" is projec...

Hi. --- With the latest editor version I can even do my own items! How can I make an item glow like the Tempest/Fury? I select Flags" light 4K, 32K and the item doesn't make the rooms glow when equipped in hand. Ok, how about the charge count of weapon in DMDC2? 1 or greater may be needed to li...

Hi. How to make a creature respawn after X time when you kill them? Some on the map permanently disappear and in other places they respawn. Try "Creature generator" actuator. And then, place an "Activator, relay 1" actuator at the creature's floor. - Set "Count" to &quo...

Hi, Bit.

Ok, I'll help your DM2 porting partially.
I'll study the DM2 PC code (SKULL.exe) from disassembling so that I can help you at some parts.

Thanks.

Hi. @Bit Sphenx told me about you! you are trying to port DM2. The source is from one of the 16-bit-PC-versions, very close to a disassembling. Also, it seems to be 16-color-graphics, dos4gw-version has really better graphics. And then all messages appear in japanese. Yep, it is based on IBM PS/V ve...
