Hi,

I also have Windows 2003 SE for PPC and my PPC runs in QVGA resolution. When I ran the CSBPocketPC2002.exe or whatever it was called is also displayed incorrectly as lectricpharaoh explained. If you guys haven't got this sorted I would be willing to lend a hand, just need to be pointed to where ...

Hi zoooom and thanks for testing, may I ask you to fill out the review form when you get time :)

as ever, here are some answers to the points you made:

1. Not sure what your .NET problem was, there has been an issue with the different versions, but I think I've fixed it to support all now. Sorry ...

Thanks for the comments beowuuf, they are all very objective, and useful. I'll attempt to answer some now:

a) I agree, it isn't really DM without tiles, and you can see which tile you are on in the bottom corner, but havent read the whole debate on this. Strafing will be an easy addition. Spin rate ...

Just so you don't give up hope, I will try to test it this evening, but I am one of those people who don't yet have .NET on my computer, as there was never any need to install it.

If it messes up my computer in any way, bad karma will will happen to you! : )
Thanks man, I will accept the bad ...

Well when you change your mind I have some tips that would greatly improve your mines of moria inspire scene. :)

I'm not nasty about it.. just straight to the point..

I'd like to keep this thread orientated on my clone, but wouldnt mind some suggestions or suggested techniques to use on ...

Ok new version available, with choice of full screen mode, and esc key to exit. Resolution chooser too, although it runs best in 1024x768 and not well above or below.

Now to respond to the current constructive criticism:


Making a program user-friendly, foolproof and multiconfig is incredibly ...

heh.. people are tough here :shock:
Your right there, but I am always prepared for criticism. But remember I am not claiming my clone to be perfect or even finished in any way.
PS. you avi is very big and really unnecessary (why the hell did i downloaded it ?)
The preview is too big, and ...

This is true, and I did run it in full screen originally. The problem is that each graphics card seems to provide different full screen support, so the game always looked different depending on the computer you ran it on. Therefore I went windowed for simplicity, I'm sure it must be possible to ...

I'd be interested in something like that. I'll look into it

thanks, it does now Its in my signature anyway

Hehe, well, as I said, the emphasis of the project is functionality not graphics. My supervisor suggested I implement it using graphics that were already in existence, but when i came back with transparent windows, and full 3d he was impressed enough to not notice cursor grabbing. ANd anyway, I ...

Ok, I'll have a quick look see if I can't figure it out.

Whoops I posted that as guest. About the cursor grab gambit. I haven't got time to fix it before I hand it in, as it is done by the game engine and I need to examine the engine closer in order to do it. I also was not happy when I originally implemented it like that, but it is still playable..

Just incase your interested in what seperates my clone from all others I thought I'd write a list of why I think mine is good:

- Its a complete re-engineering, with no reliance on original source.
- The GUI and GameMechanics are completely seperate. e.g. it is possible to run a game without a GUI ...

Sorry for spamming your forum - I just wanted to get as much broadcast for it as possible. Thanks for looking

Hi All,

I've just finished producing my third year project for my degree. It was a clone of Dungeon Master in 3D. It requires the .NET runtime as it is written in C#. It uses the Axiom 3D game engine for graphics, which aren't amazing but at the moment the emphasis is on the mechanics. Therefore it ...
