Re: 'Toe to Toe' with the dragon
Interesting topic, the 1/4th party run. When I was young and scared of mummies, my Dad impressed us by playing with only 1 character, and on top of that, it was one with very little mana! (He played almost pure spellcaster style.) So when I learned that some items gave you a bit of mana, and later t...

Re: Dungeon Making Resources
Hey, can someone point me to where I can download the original CSB graphics.dat? I'm specifically looking for the Deth Knight image (not animated armour). I can't seem to find it on my computer. I use CSBwin and ADGE, btw.

Re: How to: Create a shop
Threaten you? I know not of what you speak. Seriously, I don't expect you to rework the code. If you do, I will think you rather generous with your time. (Not that I wouldn't appreciate it.)

Re: How to: Create a shop
Ok, I get the point. I guess we'll just have to be careful when building dungeons, since any mechanic based on that might fail every 100th or 1000th time. It makes me nervous that we can have bugs that are so debug-proof, but if the dungeon designers are careful they can avoid them. No need to go ch...

Re: How to: Create a shop
Ok, I tried it out. I made two pressure pads, pad1 and pad2, that were on adjacent squares. A teleporter was turned off when you stepped off of pad1, but the same teleporter was turned on when you stepped onto pad2. No matter how many times I tried stepping directly from pad1 to pad2, I couldn't get...

Re: How to: Create a shop
Aha! That is a good idea for a test, zoom. Have we discovered a new way to get pseudo-randomness? An item is teleported from one pad to another, thus triggering both pads at once, which set/clear the same teleporter and thus randomly move or not move item2 onto some more pads. Not that monster movem...

Re: How to: Create a shop
Floor Switches: For example, having a signal when target leaves signal on the previous square should trigger a second before the second trigger. Mind if I nominate this for the "most obfuscated sentence" award? I think I sort of understand, but I'm glad you put it simply in the next senten...

Re: How to: Create a shop
Aha, I solved it! I just trigger a "shop check" every tick that you stand in front of the alcove. There must be a lot of overhead, calculating the shop every tick, but then you step off and the AND/OR feedback loop I created is stopped. It works great, and it will even let me have multiple...

Re: How to: Create a shop
Aah! I've hit a snag. How do I make an alcove trigger something whenever a specific item is removed? I can only get it to detect when the last item is removed. Would it be very complicated to make it trigger on any removal? I'm finding it very hard to put multiple consumables in my shop, even if I s...

Re: How to: Create a shop
Hmm. So you are saying that two pads in a certain "physical" order on the same square are not guaranteed to trigger in the same order every time? I ask that specifically because I think I have relied on that sort of same-source ordering in the past. I am guessing that you will say: it work...

Re: How to: Create a shop
Yeah, Paul's right; who cares about the older version. But I'm glad to know that it didn't work because of the addition of global variable access. So, I'm working on a way now to allow the selling of consumables. Problem is, the shop can't say, "you break it, you buy it," because what if t...

Re: How to: Create a shop
Well, this all makes sense considering that the Display Window DSA has the same state 15 as the Lost and Found DSA: S0 = GV14@ C0 = GV14! These commands must not be working properly in the older version of CSBwin. I wouldn't know where to start on that, and anyway, it's already fixed in the later ve...

Re: How to: Create a shop
Well, the shop works fine when I use the later version of CSBwin! Hooray! But I am curious a bit to know what went wrong. beowuuf said to check the state and row specified in the error. Well, state 1 has plenty of stuff in its rows, but I don't see a row 15. There are only SCT 1-4 = 12 rows. Hey wai...

Re: How to: Create a shop
Thanks, I'll try upgrading my version. I was using 9.8v72, whereas the demo that worked was 10.010. That might be the only problem. I'll let you know in maybe 15 hours. I hope the newer version I use is backwards compatible enough. My CSBuild is 2.51; it could probably use an upgrade as well.

You probably don't remember these DSA's all that well, Paul, since it has been a while. I'm trying now to make a shop, but I keep getting these errors when I first step on the exit pad. "Warning: Unknown DSA command code DSA at 0(12,27) Row=15;Col=1" "Warning: Unknown DSA command code...

Ok, I'm ready to give out this unfinished dungeon. But I can't seem to figure out how to upload it on the Encyclopaedia. I don't seem to have an account, and I can't figure out how to get one. A little help? My file, zipped is 520 KB, but I could remove the executable to get it to 240, if necessary.

Yeah, ok. But don't try to change my mind. The truth is, I'm not good at stopping the games once I've started. When I get into them for a while, they start to mess with my life, in various ways, such as lack of sleep from staying up too late. I consider excessive game-playing to be a real addiction.

hmm. I've always thought something like this should be done. Just remember to leave some bits intact so that it still feels like DM.

All right, I promise not to drop it completely (at the very least not forever). I'll either finish it, probably quickly and roughly, or I'll give it to the community as is, to do with as you will.

New dungeon, but half-baked and dead
I guess it has been almost three years since I made my first dungeon, "Traps and Monsters," to get some dungeon-making practice. Since then, I've done some work on another, larger dungeon, called "Shadow Shepherd," but I don't have the time anymore to finish it. (I had a couple g...

I still don't understand what kind of messages we're referring to. I've done a test to illustrate my point, but if it is the wrong one let me know. I put two teleporters pointing to eachother. Inactive, visible. One has apple. Two pressure pads on top of eachother: 1st sets a teleporter, 2nd clears ...
