Nothing needed, just interested. I've spent quite a bit of time with this code and I noticed that it's been a couple years since your last release. I personally find the changes between the 2.x vs 3.x code-bases fascinating. Maybe support NOCOPYPROTECTION in version 3?

Seriously though, nothing ...

Hi ChristopheF,

Have you continued your work on ReDMCSB? It's been a about 3 years since your last WIP release. Would you be willing to post any progress you've made?

ChristopheF, is it possible to run the build process with the NOCOPYPROTECTION set? Your compile process works really slick so I thought I'd ask if there is an intended way to build like this (before I start cracking open batch files).

I certainly wasn't disputing the platform used to compile the binaries. :wink: You've spent so much time with this code that these types of revelations probably don't carry the same weight. For me, the fact that DM/CSB version 3 was developed and compiled in Think C on the Apple platform is a piece ...

You can check this archive: http://dmweb.free.fr/Stuff/ReDMCSB_WIP20210206.7z

It contains:
- the source code for all programs from all known versions of DM/CSB except the SNES console versions
- emulators, compilers, tools and scripts to fully automate the build of all the executables


Most of ...

If you want to have a look, I can share my work-in-progress unified source code for Atari, Amiga, PC, PC-98 and X68000.
If you're interested in Amiga versions, I'd wait a few weeks so I can at least complete the work on the game engine in these versions.


Christophe, I'm very interested in ...

I'd like to create a custom wallset for Dungeon Master Java. It's my understanding that the walls were done with Pov-Ray. It would really save a lot of time if the original POV files were available to use as a starting point. Does anyone know how to go about obtaining these?

I'm releasing v0.1 of my code:

Linux binary:

Anyone out there want to compile Windows binaries for me? I may have a copy of Visual Studio somewhere but it ...

I know I said I'd post again when I had something useful to download; I lied.

Anyway, I should be able to release some code very soon. I'm kind of excited though because I've actually been able to write data back out to a DMSAVE.DAT that DM will read (PC version):
http://thekilempire.com ...

I think that Christophe has tried to understand all the existing save formats but one is missing on the Amiga (DM or CSB, don't remember): it doesn't seem to be encoded as the other ones.
Could someone verify this? I've been operating under the assumption that CSBuild can read every save file ...

OK. This doesn't seem so hard. Paul Stevens has done all the hard work. It is actually remarkably easy to move around a DM/CSB save game (just not in a hex editor), especially if you only need character stats.

Using the CSBuild code as a guide, I've decided to write a character editor for DM and ...

Looking through the code... Good stuff. This won't be as straight forward as I thought but I will certainly be able to find what I'm looking for.

Chris, would you be interested in an analysis for the Technical Documentation section of your site?
(no promises, I may not continue to be this inspired)

The reason for this endeavor is I'm making my way through the PC version of DM, but when I'm done, I would like to use my party in CSB under Amiga emulation. There seems to be no tool to do this so I thought I'd see if I could extract my character's stats from the dmsave.dat and recreate them in a ...
