I updated the music with a newer version : Room of the Gem (final) . As you requested it, I keep the previous one here : Room of the Gem (v0.9) . About the issues, the main problem was with the violin theme really too low and that some notes were missed by the VSTi I used (when a note is out of rang...

You now enter the Room of the Gem.
Note: there are a few little mixing balance issues, I messed up some tracks. I will redo it later, at least I can move on.

The coincidence is fortunate as I was just about to drop today the next one : Battle of Screamers I struggled a long time for this one to find appropriate instruments and it sounds more different than the others. Thanks again for your words ! I can assure you that all musics are already in the proce...

I had some play with FRUA, thanks for all the work there, Paul

I agree they are conceptually different; then it should answer your question since they do not have the same purpose. For instance, DM2 magic maps allow you to summon minions to solve puzzles, you probably won't do that from the automap. It will depend if your game requires these. On another point, ...

I would even go a step further : since CSB (Amiga) and DM2 have in-game real time magic map with interactive information, why not also bring these to a full screen auto-map (but maybe just locally around the party's location) ? Personally, I think there should be some option for the player to choose...

Thanks again - I am definitely working on all SNES musics and will continue posting them from time to time (if not weeks after weeks)

For you, more choirs : Special Guardian Choirs . I just kept 2 tracks of the final project (unprocessed, mistakes are hearable). For this DM musics project I use 2 VSTi : Miroslav Philharmonik (but I think the price got up :shock:), choirs are from it; and Korg M1 LE because ... the M1 was used to p...

The next one would have been "Screamers" but I am not yet satisfied with it. I then moved on to Chambers of the Guardian. I crashed many VSTi in the making of this; I should go back to something simpler next time.

But tell me - who shot the drummer? The drummer was busy with the marimbas ... :) And I'm still in the tracker world for sure (but did not release something in a long time ...). I'm stuck with Impulse Tracker on DOS. These days, I also use OpenMPT which offers the capability of plug in VSTi over tr...

Hum .. Maybe I should try to keep things more simple ... the next one is Entrance ... to the Dark. It took me a little longer than expected.

Yes, having the midi allows direct audio rendering. Though I like to have more control over channels and not just rely on soundfonts (which already give very good results). A rewrite and reorchestration would be good also. Anyway, that was to come later, but as you brought the topic on it, then have...

First things first, here is the Introduction. Not very long but more complex to me. You may expect one music every one or two weeks.

Thank you both ! I'm glad you like it. I will then continue with the others and will post them here too.

I thought I could try some remake of the DM SNES musics, so here is Hall of Champions to listen to.

Interesting, would it be turn-based then ? What would be the magic system like (DM-rune or D&D style) ? What language are you using ?

This is basically what I am doing with my own wip engine DCS/DM : https://www.dungeon-master.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=30900 using OpenGL for that. The basic tiles environment is rendered in flat 3D while other gfx (items, creatures ... ) remain 2D. The top example in full 3D is Legend of Gr...

Maybe something of interest (not checked yet, just found it) : Yet Another Dungeon Master Java Clone
https://github.com/fritaly/yadmjc
I guess this is 2D and would have the code information on how to draw the viewport.

I don't know any, but there is Dungeon Master for Java coming with its Map Editor. Maybe you could check that.

Hi redspark, if you go the 2D way, checking the DM extracted graphics would give you many hints on how it is done. For quick references, you could check DM graphics on Greatstone's pages: http://greatstone.free.fr/dm/g_dm.html -> check graphics.dat dungeon graphics Another reference here: https://ww...

I like very much your designs and way to expand the lore with characters and maps. That's quite inspiring. Wuuf is no joke.

I will try different systems about the sound issue; I have no issue on the machine used to compile SkWin, and I am not even sure myself about all these options are about sound. I will check more and document about this. About the Skull (2013), I would rather put back GRAPHICS_PCDOS_V5 if it is missi...

I have updated the packages. The installer and a full archive (no install). The cd/cp commands in batches are fixed. The installer no longer install shortcuts. There is a new text to explain better about the options. The uninstaller removes all txt files. Graphics command "D" still not imp...

You start skwin, you are in the title screen, there you select "super mode", then you start a "new" game. That way Torham will have the super stats. About the uninstall, I will check better to be sure everything is removed. For information it uses Nullsoft Scriptable Install Syst...

Thanks for the feedback - "Super" mode (as all options in "extra") does not need restart and affects the champion stats when he/she is revived. I will add some notes about these options, mainly for test/debug purpose. - About the "cd" command, ok I will remove them beca...

Christophe : I have finally built a full zip of SKProject with the latest versions of each tool.
I have changed the installer and made simplifications for Skwin : there is now only one exe.
You can find the installer here : SKProject
If everything is OK, I will push it on GitHub.

Great find ! Too bad you did not keep your disks ... At that time I had the process to copy disks from Amiga to PC and it was a bit tedious as you would copy disks half by half .. I mainly saved my music modules and ... DM + CSB. Infos about the pre-built solution: http://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk/wai...

Little update here, I have now successfully compiled DMDC2 (the map editor). I then should be not far from building a full proper release.

I'm feeling pretty cunning about those mythril hosen Ah, I would have said these were greaves/foot plate. I guess the tool does not allow to have chainmail on foot. But it looks nice anyway, I like the shiny silver render. I also have the feeling that Torham is ready to shoot the tech eye towards s...

"There is no cow armour"

Only three sets of special armours, you got them. The fourth is just the regular plate armour.
