Dungeon Master Forum

Hi! I´ve just downloaded RTC, but when I started RTC.Exe I only got a black screen (but with Task Bar) and 2 Tasks in the Task bar: "RTC.exe" and "error".
Do I need to install RTC in a special directory or do I need any missing files to run it?

Thanks for your support. You know, presently I have 60-hours-of-working week, but when I have some weeks off soon, I'll take the time to get into DMute fully, first reading the hex guide and all entries of the forum and then experimenting a lot. It´s great to be not the only one still hooked on Dun...

This is a copy of a reply I posted in the DMute section, but since it concerns DM1 rather than DMute, I post it here also. Problem: I´m using an VIA AC´97 onboard sound (Hardware version 32) with Win98 (Version 04.10.1998 on an Athlon AMD1 (100x10Mhz). When I try to start DM1 from Win98 I got all ...

I´ve got a similar problem: I´m using an VIA AC´97 onboard sound (Hardware version 32) with Win98 (Version 04.10.199 8) on an Athlon AMD1 (100x10Mhz). When I try to start DM1 from Win98 I got all options (VGA/Mouse/Sound Blaster) but after choosing those the task ends complaining that the prog will ...

A true Archmaster Player would probably win in Tiggy-single-mode WITHOUT game-saving.

I´m just beginning with DMute, so I wanted to try out some simple things first like changing the rats generator in the rats level into a dragon generator so training characters would become less boring (for I prefer characters who were truly played to get their levels before edited ones). Yet all th...

2 Nerra Crowns and 2 Flame Bains? I think without item-hacking you´ll have but one of each. My second rear-guard wears a Dex-helm instead of a Nerra Crown

1) Daroou
2) Hissssa
3) Wuuf
4) Tiggy

Front-muscles and rear-brain it is.

Best place to test missile damage is at the beginning of the rat´s level, where right after the initial illusionary wall a 180-degree-turning tile is situated - shoot and you´ll get what you deserve

I also make certain camps , where I train and/or store ALL items i found. First boot camp is the above mentioned screamer room to raise ALL levels at least to artisan, second camp is the also above-mentioned rat´s room, where ALL levels should become at least adept when visiting first and expert whe...

There is an table of the results of all weapon-related strikes in the DM1-Adventurers Handbook, which is available at <a href="http://dmweb.free.fr/">dmweb.free.fr/</a> ; since this site is currently not accesible, I offer to send the book as pdf to anyone who requests it by mailing me to ...

Although FTL´s Adventurers Handbook states, that there is spell-shield potion (YaBro) which is supposed to create a dashed light blue line around the character´s box and a physical shield (YaIr) that creates a dashed blue line around characters´boxes, this is not the case, for both are physical shie...

I prefer a party with 2 tough guys in the front, who have lots of hit points to take the brunt of the enemie´s assault and some strength and maybe some dex to deal out heavy damage and wear heavy armor, so they´ll get kinda berzerking tanks later on. For the rear ranks I prefer 2 able spellcasters w...

One little thing: The DM1 Creature section states, that there are no mummy generators, but there is at least on Level 07 (The Cavern).
Besides, I think, it should be listed among special abilities, whether a creature can fly or not.

I just don´t get it! In the section downloads/tools i just don´t find an DMEdit for PC or an editor0.52 for PC or the the import dungeon. Sinci I´m seemingly too blind to get it, please: where exactly what link?!

You get the alternate end of the game only, when you enter the tile before the entrance with the UNACTIVATED firestaff (without the Powergem). You can also see Lord Librasulus with a OH EW RA spell through the closed door. If you already have activated the firestaff, create a second unactivated fire...

What program from "tools" do I need exactly for the CSB-import to DM1 (or is it to DM2?) and what steps do I have to take to start playing the import?

I´ll have a look at DMEdit.

Items: Ah yes... I didn´t notice at first that in the dungeon you´ll have to choose an item of the category you wish an item of to edit it properly;
question: how severly endangers item-hacking the stability of the edited game?

When I´m transscripting the Characters from DM1 to CSB via DMute it is of course easy to choose the apropriate portrait, stats and levels, but what is about various other internal skills, which the user can´t see, of whom I suppose they exist somehow (for example spell- or weaponskills, because you ...

Thanx, didn´t knew ´til now!

There are DOS drivers for VIA on their site, but also lots of user complaints about them not working, but no positive report of anyone having them work properly. Sorry that I posted this errand twice, but I got an error message (probably just my internet-connection that was almost dead for a short t...

So how were not only apple users but amiga and ST-Users supposed to enter the kids dungeon (might see, if I maybe had one of those older versions)?

I did not yet try the download DM2 from this site, but when I try to configure the setup from DM2 installed from an original CD I get a total system crash when trying to choose or detect any device and when I leave the setup with no sound chosen I get this system crash when I start DM2 after the int...

There are more than enough flasks in DM to do both - store lots of potions AND waste lots of them for killing clouds.

I prefer to fight them directly at a (closing) door with two heavy armored berzerking fighters protected by YA IR in front and making use of the OH VEN spell to heighten the continual damage done by the door somewhat.

In the middle of the hall of the dragon there is a single sqare pillar. You can move round it backward, while the dragon is following you. every time he spits fire at you, just take step to the side, every time he gets around a corner, blast him with MON fireballs or lightning bolts and with FUL-bom...

Does anyone know whether these Kid-Level truly only exists for Apple or whether it merely has to be accessed in a different way for other versions?
What happens when you finish that kid level, by the way?

I too get only PC-speaker sound, which is probably a problem of my VIA-onboard sound. Still found no solution.

I did look around and in the games setup I found DM I + II for Amiga, Atari AND PC, while CSB has no entry for PC. So before I try to run an emulation I´d prefer to know, whether there is an pure PC version of CSB. And yes, I did use a search engine to find this site, altavista to be precise. For th...

You can avoid the alarm of the tomb of the powergem if you THROW out the gem-powered firestaff right out of the door after obtaining it, rather than WALK out the door with the staff.
