Ages ago I hacked up a previous version of yours. Maybe you can get some useful stuff from it. Here's a link: http://www.filedropper.com/dmjava

It's a 7-zip file. Assuming it isn't corrupted, then you can get a decompressor here: http://www.7-zip.org/

patch 2.2-10 added:
*IMPORTANT bug fix that caused a saved game to be unreadable due to fountain sound
*some minor adjustments

http://solito.free.fr/games/dmjava/v2.1/#download

I released my version 2.1 a bit too fast so there are still some adjustments to make and a few bugs to fix but nothing big really.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

patch 2.2-11 added:
*bug fix: Refresh screen when items are teleported near party
*Function that determines shooting distance has been improved so higher skilled/dexterity ninjas deal more damage with bows or slings (may need adjustments)
*Display poison damage inflicted to monsters instead of the 1 damage impact with the DES VEN spell when 'show damage' is on

Added the _ninja.dat testing map for download

patch 2.2-12 added:
*Fireshield potion (zo ir dain) now boosts the anti-fire stat (with a cap to the highest potion power) [DMJava only]
*Spellshield potion (zo ir ra) now boosts the anti-magic stat (with a cap to the highest potion power) [DMJava only]
*Monster awarness: if a monster cannot see the party but the party is in its awareness range, there is a small chance the monster will detect and turn towards the party
*Skill mastery AND Wisdom are both computed into making potions (Wisdom was not before) [DMJava only]
(I remind that these spell adjustments affect only the DMJava rules [DM and CSB rules are and should remain faithfull to the CSBWin code])

patch 2.2-13 added:
*Monster default images are no longer set to be GIFs or PNGs, there are now hard coded with suffix name only: the system will look for PNGs first then GIFs
(You can now alter a monster by adding/removing PNG images into the Monsters directory without removing original GIFs)
*The Beholder (Wizard Eye) is now available in PNG format as the original (unzip and copy into 'Monsters' dir)
*Food can always be placed into Chest and Pouch (Hard Coded) even if omitted in the Editor (Some food in my CSB21.dat were not patched properly)

Thank you Adamo.

*bug fix: Monsters having different animations for 'Casting' and 'Attacking'.
*bug fix: Freeze Life while a monster is attacking/casting will display the proper Casting/Attacking image.
*bug fix: Attacking a ghost with a regular weapon.
*bug fix: Sometimes the party cannot move onto a tile because a monster was there before and died.
*bug fix: The Fuse function now works on a non-teleporting monster.
*bug fix: Poison Cloud inside a Pillar.
*bug fix: Reseting Abilities Panel to Off when loading a game.
*** Improved: The graphic loading is now instantaneous! ***
*new: Improved map display. fluxcage-s.gif available for download
*new: Monsters and Generators facing can be random now (instead of North, South, East, West).
*new: FloorSwitch can now be triggered with specific items. (original DM)

patch 2.2-17 added:
*Fix a bug I created in patch 2.2-16
*Added some graphic enhancements for Teleports, Fluxcages, VI-Altar, DoorTrack. (they can now be PNG or GIF: the system looks for PNGs first and if not found, for GIFs)
PNG are much better for animated stuff like this.

patch 2.2-18 added:

Hi,

Like your update, However........
I find that when I save on level 2 of Chaos Strikes Back, that the file is corrupted. When I save on level 1 the file is ok.
It will load into the editor but not into the game itself.
I am using java jdk 1.5.0_16.

There is a new version with the default power gem and this bug is also fixed.
I just need to make more tests and make it available for download.
I will post a message here when ready.
(you can subscribe to this thread to be informed)
Thank you.

Hi,

I download your new version, but I am not able to run the game.
I click on dmnew.bat, but nothing happens...

Can someone help me?

Thanks

Firstly if your installation is like mine, then you will have to go into the DMJ-Solito-v2 directory, inside which is another DMJ-Solito-v2 directory. In this one will be the complete program.
You need to make a short-cut to dmnew.bat.
Right click and click properties.
In Target you need something like the following:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_16\bin\javaw.exe" -cp . dmnew".
Obviously you will have to use your own path to your Java installation.
You will need to do the same with the dmedit.bat.

Hi, I have finished a dungeon and I'm currently testing it... but, when I save a game, and want to restart later, it say "unable to load game" ..
Did someone have some idea why and how to "repair" that ?

Thanks.

Somebody has told me that already but It works fine with my version so I don't know what's going on...

Can you send me by email these log files located in the 'log' directory:
editor_loadmap.log
loadmap.log
loadgame.log

I'll try to figure out what's wrong.
Thx !
