Right, you shouldn't do that. Just add your new entry to the table instead. (A brief explanation of how to add to a Lua table instead of replacing it is here: viewtopic.php?p=123399 )


Sounds ok in principle, but I just ran into a problem I saw that you and gambit already discussed - If you are ...

Very cool!

Looking forward to getting my regen looking proper!

Cheers

I've also expanded ESB's gfx (mostly to help me) for different things and monsters.

graphics for coins, food, weapons, gems and monsters

Sophia,

I think I may be doing new conditions wrong (as in I recreated the table with all the old entries and added my own). I did see info on the wiki about dsb_add_condition and dsb_replace_condition and monfulir's examples seem to use them, but the wiki says "Deprecated" after both functions ...

Help! My brain is melting!

So I was redoing all the gfx for potions and I went off on a bit of a tangent

Well, here are some potions.

Anyhow, I placed the Zo and Sar potions into the game, gave them spells ...

Food glorious food!

Update 21-09

I have been pondering the monsters for some time as well as testing theories and ideas.

Should I remake the original DM graphics but better? If so how? Redraw them from hand? import the side and front into blender and recreate, retexture and relight them in 3D? All possible for me, I ...

@Gambit - Thanks for the feedback. shadow under mirror shortened. The new floor is not "The floor" - As I am doing many wallsets, my floor and ceiling keep changing as I am testing them, but point taken!

Cheers!
Nick K.

PS: The eyvenir is a bit hard to read, but looks cooler, at least to me.


Eyvenir I chose specifically because A) it looks rune-ish B) Some of the letters, you have to stop and think about before you realise what it is C) It "Feels" DM-ish.

I do have several other fonts that are dungeon wall ...

@sophia again - When Im done, I plan on giving all this content up as "Nicks DSB construction set" including the changes to the editor and including all the xcf graphics templates. If you are interested in including it/hosting it, you are more than welcome, otherwise, I'll do it myself as a separate ...

@sophia - can we do floor objects at position 3 far? You see in the floor image above the 2 far purple squares on the left and right - I mean them.

Cheers
Nick K

9/12 update

Thanks Gambit - I've now mapped light on the ceiling and floor to a half circle, perspective mapped onto the graphics as a screen overlay so it looks like this (btw walls not yet gamma corrected, thats a to do)

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/328800069480480769 ...

Thank you!

@masterwuuf - I am considering adding new content, but its not for right now, I am busy in GFX and composing ambient tracks.

@Gambit - cheers, I'll re look and post my results.

Cheers!
Nick K

Me again!

If I go quiet on the forums, I'm either A) Dead B)lost interest and buggered off to another game or C) Really busy getting on with work.

In this case C. So many GFX to change, and I keep doing them, and redoing them until I am happy with them.

Finally got a full base dungeon wall set I ...

Thank you both!

This is very interesting and now I have a lot more testing to do on top of my lots of testing.

Thanks for the pointers on the lighting. I'll redo it and pay more attention.

I can't post a full list quite yet, but I am compiling them.

Corrections and adjustments to graphics.

I noticed that the wall grate was off by a few pixels at certain distances so corrected it.

I made some adjustments to side views of graphics, and this is to recenter them on the wall - to my way ...

Had to trawl the forum to find these - I was sure they existed, but the question is not answered fully in the thread a bit down below "Skip intro" so I thought I would post it again.

Add this to your startup.lua to skip the intro and the main screen to jump straight into game:

function sys_game ...

@Sophia,

I thought taking the localtxt one step further would be in order (I needed to turn things to proper case instead of full caps) so I did this in my objects file:

--Externalize all base dungeon item names-------------------------------------------------

obj.bones.name=dsb_locstr("obj ...

Hilo!

As you (the maybe 3 people reading this may know), I have recently taken a shine to DSB and decided to use it as a platform to remake Dungeon Master to my own tastes in DSB, under the working title "Dungeon Re-Master". I like DSB and I'm starting to get the hang of Lua so it makes sense to do ...

Thank you Gambit,

Your insights were like beloved signposts in the forest of contrarian lua bollocks.

Thanks very much for the pointers!

I did a little bit of figuring out for myself, but got there!

For anyone else trying to do this, you need to override (in your own custom lua files) these bits:

global.lua

powchar = { "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f" }

magic.lua

magic_runes = {
"a", "b", "c ...

Well thanks all.

@Gambit - yeah I since got fontED and no problems now making custom fonts and using them in wall writing etc (In fact I have about 7 different wall fonts now), I am using the dalelands font in game (The TSR forgotten realms one) because I think its perfect for the job.

@Sophia ...

....and what I was saying was I did that but that replacing the sys_font does not replace it entirely in the game as shown in th screen shot above.

Cheers
Nick K

Groovy - that makes sense

I did figure out my font issues and thanks to your help, gambit, 50% solved.

I was making my own fonts fine in gimp - specifying colour indexes 0,1,255 for the creation of.... then I found out that my 255 white was being substituted by gimp at export for the first pure ...

On another note.

I've been trying to replace the fonts in game, but my success is limited.

1. I have the DSB graphics package that is in one of the threads somewhere.
2. The fonts are included there as PCXs, but as far as I can tell they do not override in DSB.
3. I got the allego grabber, I can ...

You're probably doing it wrong

Ha ha ha ha ha hah :D

OK, I don't think you need the code as it would be long ass - but I can describe the scenario I want fairly briefly and that should give you an idea. I am interested in what you think and what you believe is the correct method to go about ...

OK, thanks for the info Sophia.

I was just going on what I grabbed off the one shared drive. I have found the other versions there too. Checking how good they are.

Been quiet as busy designing GFX and SFX. Its moving along.

But I ran across something and I just wanted to know if it is expected ...

That looks fab kaypy!

Oh and Sophia, I have a very analytical and dry way of reporting bugs, errors, missing things which can easily be construed as arrogant or belittling.

Nothing is further from the truth, I have a great deal of respect for what you and Paul S have done and I admire what you have both achieved ...
