Dungeon Master Forum

I got your e-mail offering to upload my dungeon for me
thanks, I'll certainly take you up on the offer

in the post - next few days
much appreciated my friend

your writings are very familiar because we can identify with your "learning curve" my friend that's what you're going through, take it from me - you have learned so much already, that for you to create a good dungeon is almost in the bag when you have 0 critical errors, George's program wi...

ooops my reply isn't too clear

lines in notepad edits that start ; have no effect on the compile

it seems to me that lines in notepad edits that start / are also ignored

so
both ; and / inform the compiler to read no further

Sophia what is the significance of / over ; ?

Hi Sophia !

what is the actual point of these comments opposed to ;remarks ?

how do they differ ?

beowuff
nice one matie, I have COMPILE and FULL SCREEN to go into config, what other commands could be used in there ? Out of interest are there any others ?

beowuuf not everybody, sorry to correct you but there are quite a few ppl on internet by virtue of cable tv internet this sad concept involves a TV - yes just a simple £99 TV, wired into from a cable TV set top box using this the TV (not a PC) can be used to surf internet and reply on message boards...

Legion this is totally beyond our reach surely ? you have access to any creature ever used in DM or CSB, by virtue of copying and pasting from the relevant notepad blueprints and back into yours as for new creatures .... from where ? it would be cool, agreed - but I think we have to make do unless G...

OK you're a dungeoneer, nice one !! so what do DUNGEONEERS watch on TV anyhow ?? I am still enjoying all the RED DWARF TV series from way back, showing on cable TV and now coming out on DVD... so far both series I and II are out on DVD and the discs are stuffed full of brilliant extras ! check out R...

unfortunately cowsmanaut's site, although flipping SLICK, does not comply with NTL internet TV rules so I can't use it
both this site and the RTC site DO COMPLY however and I have no trouble replying or making new topics here therefore I have to stick with the old 2

there is just ONE screenshot included with George's 6MB of files when you download the RTC pack it is titled mainview and shows your view as you enter the dungeon from champions' hall it would be cool to "borrow" from other emulators with an F10 key that pushes out a screenshot to your des...

I'm real hazy on the whole generator thing anyway so far I have used 90% of everything from CSB and DM (on guessing) but have not used generators after setting up a mummy generator that just refused to do ANYTHING nothing happened ! EVER ! I mean the way ppl talk you can SEE these "generators&q...

thanks but <a href="http://www.myinternetcafe.co.uk">internet cafes</a>refuse attempts to upload/download stuff for fear of unintentional viruses I should know, I have been down to <a href="http://www.myinternetcafe.co.uk">my internet cafe</a> enough times already :-) they certai...

thanks beowuuf I didn't realise that <a href="http://dmweb.free.fr/Forum">dmweb.free.fr/Forum</a> had that uploads forum brilliant idea, but it needs to be regulated so that somebody (George ?) puts the mass of entries, into a NEW TOP TEN index of dungeons IMHO we could go to the TOP TEN f...

LOL
all the sound effects are so typical of the 1980s genre
horn of fear ?
why pick on that ?

all the SFX are so negligible, but then what sound would you get in a dungeon ?

actually a few far off "ice wind" sounds would be cool I guess

<a href="http://www.cauce.org/tales/3.shtml">hehe check out the CAUCE site on SPAM</a> they are in the front line against SPAM, check it out maties personally I think a law should be enacted, making it an offence to be in possession of any list, containing e-mail addresses, used for sendin...

no wonder ppl chuck in their e-mail accounts I was getting 3 or 4 spam e-mails a day on my e-mail A/C and it was driving me NUTS I had them coming in on my e-mail phone everytime an e-mail arrived, the phone would shrill and a red light would come on just to find it was another sodding SPAM !!! I li...

but quite honestly because George has chosen to make available to us all the DM Orig_DM and CSB notepad blueprints we HAVE your index simply open up one of the enormous notepads generously provided by George, they're so flipping huge they have to be opened in wordpad !! use the EDIT to search for &q...

so in the case of defining a wooden door that releases with a button, should the frame go first or the door, or is the order in which they're documented irrelevant to the result ? some of my doors don't look like they're actually in the slot of the frame :-( rather they look as if behind the frame o...

warnings have no effect on execution whatsoever you could have doors without frames and buttons in mid air galore, but the dungeon will still run I find this worry of warnings way OTT sure it looks messy during compile, but the end user sees nothing of that be brave and use the mechanisms provided w...

if anybody is willing to "host" my dungeon then I will send you my CD-R in the post sorry I can't "upload" it, but I'm not on internet please e-mail me with your address and tell me where the dungeon can be seen by others [e-mail me at brown family 76 @cwctv. net] (no spaces) we ...

Duncan I think objects that are to be placed into your game, must have tabbed x,y and z coordinates in the case of items referenced to go into a Chest, then the items do not share the same x,y,z coordinates as in the case of an alcove, but instead go -1,-1,z and the chest has bracketed line numbers ...

hehe AndyBoy, fancy seeing you on here ! Thanks for passing me that DM folder, I certainly enjoyed it my friend and by the looks of it so did you eh ? I have been coding a new dungeon, 9 levels down so far - obviously not quite up to George's standard, but even so I'm pretty happy with it the notepa...

well I don't know if there are others like me but I have no website I'm not online either, so there's no way I could have one I am a week away from finishing a 9 level dungeon which I'm fairly pleased with Can this site posibly "host" any members' dungeon efforts ? we could have a showcase...

beowuuf yikes I was on the wrong forum al this time, thanks you were correct I went on the link you pointed out and found the correct forum still seems a shame we can't have just one LARGE board I don't think there are THAT many dungeoneers around and rather than splitting down into different forums...

notepad isn't boring, it's stable and effective and the error reporting is TOP JOB whoever programmed the error reports deserves a medal comprehensive and very helpful ! with the notepad print outs from DM and CSB, plus the examples provided by Gilbert, we have a "look up" book for whateve...

Yeah ok BUT when anybody downloads Gilbert's fine DM from the site they automatically get The Zoo and the Orange under Examples ... correct ? how much memory would it take to put 3 or 4 of your best Alternate Dungeons in a folder alongside Examples ? Not doing this is a total waste of those authors ...

just notepad as advised by Gilbert

Christophe I have been writing a dungeon for a couple of weeks now and have successfully put 8 levels together, stairs, pits, teleporters, Dragons, Lord Chaos fake walls GREAT !! ;-) but the monster generators I put in just do nothing, I don't know why the shooters I put in also do not even appear i...

I think it's such a shame that when Dungeon Master was released on the Atari St back in 1987 an additional disc could not have been added or even "released" allowing "Dungeon Muting" THEN what would have been the problem ? I tremendously enjoy putting together dungeons within the...

flipping heck you guys, how many alternate dungeons are there ? SURELY they should all be included WITH the download ok the ORANGE is a superb example to "would be" dungereering fellas I'm not being sarcastic here I mean it ! I looked at the .txt for "the orange" and five minutes...
