Dungeon Master Forum

Would it be possible to have some kind of note stating which version of RTC works best with each dungeon? Some are noted in the Readmes, but several don't specify which version they were created for. Sophia noted elsewhere that Reactor doesn't work properly beyond 0.23, but I can't get it to load in...

I'm... stunned. I just always thought it was a little man like Boris (Boris is a man, right?). Funnily enough at the moment I'm doing a RTC run with Tiggy solo, which I always liked the challenge of in the original game - taking the weakest character through DM and Chaos and molding them into a fear...

Tiggy is a female?

Blimey - I never noticed that before and I've lost count of the number of times I've played through DM

More a graphical error than a bug I think, but I'm playing 0.43 RTC, and those holes you get in the lower-right section of a wall tile - that sometimes have switches in them... well, if that particular tile is ahead of you on your right the hole appears on the left side of the tile, the furthest edg...

I completely agree that RTC doesn't need any kind of graphics or sound editor built in. There are plenty of free programs that anyone can get access to for that sort of thing - Gimp and GraphicsGale to name but two that are very useful for creating bitmaps. beowuuf told me what I needed to know on t...

Thanks Ameena - I've got as far as putting a guy in a mirror now. For some reason I just thought that there would be ready-made characters to pick from - the original DM crew as it were. I didn't think about the fact that with a new dungeon everyone would have to be defined in terms of names and att...

I'm playing about with the RTC editor - I'm no programmer and to be quite honest all the other utilities on offer for various things baffle the heck out of me. Basically I'm just looking to rustle up some fun little custom dungeons for myself using the default RTC resources. My problem is an immedia...

Got one now :) That was just me being a bit brainless about where I'd been. I'd been through the first gold key door, fallen down a few pits then got sidetracked and started wandering about having forgotten I'd even been up there. I lay the blame at playing over several sessions and not taking notes...

Bah... where are the flasks? Both my guys are riddled with injuries and are limping around the dungeon in slow-motion.

I hate it when there aren't any flasks

(btw, i love those colorful baloons)

I watched the whole thing... but the most disturbing fact is that my foot was tapping all the way through

Jeez... I remember falling for that one

Oh, forest of doom was the one with the interconnected groves, right? I think you're thinking of Scorpion Swamp :) By 'eck though, this looks nice. I'm still a big geek for FF books, and Forest of Doom, City of Thieves and Deathtrap Dungeon were the best in my opinion. I'm hoping to see more on thi...

That was my line of thought on it too... some kind of tribute or act of respect in front of the alcove. Wracked my brains to think of what it could be though. I didn't think George had put in a 'duck' action just yet :lol: I liked the river one... What do rivers have...? Hmm, banks, bends, rapids, d...

Phew! I finished it. It got really sticky towards the end, with my party starving, unable to rest and regain mana and a handful of stronger monsters to fight. I had to run back up the where the worms were a couple of times in the hope that they had regenerated. In the end I managed to eat just enoug...

Yeah, I've tried making a trail of ZoKathRas, but rather than just turning you around the hazes teleport you about, so it's become a bit of a head-scratcher. I'll plod on with it, though I'm running very low on food now and the only resource is that worms room - and we all know how nourishing worm r...

I'm stuck on the maze of hazes

I am enjoying it immensely though. It has that particular feature that I liked about parts of DM and most of Chaos - where things circle back on themselves, join up and open new areas. The entire dungeon has a satisfying coherence.

I've sussed it

Neater.

After many sessions of head-scratching I've come to the conclusion that I'm stuck

I can't find any kind of switch to 'turn off the vents', and I've thoroughly gone over every available bit of the dungeon up to that point...

I'm a little rusty at solving DM-style puzzles I admit

Are these games any good? I noticed a mention in another thread and had a quick look at the demo - which I found rather fun. Has anyone given them any proper play time?

WHACK, eh? Indulge away...

... is that the whole of DMII I see in there?

I notice it no longer says 'DMII Demo'. Is it playable all the way through?

Sounds interesting! Looking forward to giving it a go

I actually enjoyed Bloodwych a great deal, but I have to say the 99% of that probably came down to the fact that I played it through with a friend - which is I think the way it must be played. As a single-player dungeon experience I found it quite lacking. The time I spent playing it in co-op does c...

On a slight tangent, I did propagate the myth at school that my middle name was Mophus.

Hmm, I've been around for a few months but I only just noticed this sticky so I thought I'd post a bit about myself :) My real name is Stephen, born bred and living in Nottingham, England. 31 years old next month... (yikes). I first played Dungeon Master when it came out on the ST. Got instantly hoo...

Ah, I see. Yes it is what you describe. It was probably the same on the ST and Amiga but it's so many years since I've played those versions I can't remember.

I guess I've been spoiled by modern refresh rates!

Thanks

Playing any game running on the CSBWin engine (Conflux, Towers of Flame, or indeed the original DM and Chaos). I'm using a P4 2.4, 768MB RAM, Radeon 9600 card. Desktop resolution 1024x768, game resolution default. Nothing significant running in the background I wouldn't expect it to be a PC performa...

Amusingly enough my boss is the most internet-addicted person I've ever met :lol: I think actually it's more time-sink places like forums than obviously NSFW sites that are the main problem these days. By all means surf about if you're on top of things, but don't prioritize slacking over doing what ...
