Re: Unidentified German magazine scan

I browsed all 1992 issues of ASM at http://www.kultmags.com/mags.php and could not find the mysterious pages I'm looking for. While the colors of the "Spiel des monat" (game of the month) pages bear some resemblance, they are still different as well as the layout. The 'Spiel der woche' (ga...

Re: Unidentified German magazine scan

Thanks a lot for all these details. The PC version of Dungeon Master was released worldwide in 1992, and it was reviewed by ASM in the October 1992 issue: http://dmweb.free.fr/files/Magazine_ASM_GE_October.1992_Dungeon.Master_Review_Page.054_Scan.jpg So this would be OK with the 1991 onward design f...

Unidentified German magazine scan

I have this scan (not very good quality) about Dungeon Master from a German magazine. But I don't know which magazine it comes from (name, issue number and publication date):
http://dmweb.free.fr/Stuff/DM_Unidentif ... s34-35.jpg

Are there any German speakers who may have any clue?

DMute portait support is indeed buggy. CSBuild can export and import a BMP of champion portraits. The trick is to find a tool to edit the .bmp file that can keep the color palette unchanged. Both Microsoft Paint and paint.net break the color palette (colors are renumbered/reordered which later break...

I'm not an expert, but i seem to understand that all the gigglers are parked in the southwest corner in level 7, and then just wait to be poped out/triggered by an external action (occured by the player). Right? No external action needed. The 8 Gigglers in the large room on level 7 just randomly mo...

Re: strange bug in the st version

I agree with jayrshaw, this is most probably caused by cloned items, which can create all sorts of weird effects. You probably had a Ven Potion that was stored in a chest at one point in the game, and you never placed it back on the dungeon floor before throwing it to the Dragon.

There are no major gameplay differences between 3.4 PC and 3.6 Amiga. They were both released around the same time in 1992.

Re: CSB Chaos Strikes Back on modern Mac?

I think your only option is to use an emulator for the Atari ST or Amiga. I don't have a Mac and never tested this.
For example you can download the Amiga version of CSB here: http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/591#toc18
