Dungeon Master Forum

Hi.I'm trying to play this for the first time in many years, but the Zip file (Dungeon Master for Windows x86-32 2017-11-17) will not extract on my PC. Is this an issue with Windows 11? Does anyone know if there is a way to get it to work? I have also looked at the versions available on the diannean...

So what do you guys here think? You're nuts. ( I could be wrong! ) Actually, you'r right! What was I thinking? I have far too much on at the moment to be able to coordinate a project of this scope. I still think its a great idea. If anyone is reading this and likes the sound of it, feel free to pic...

Ok so you have all probably seen that there have been lots of successful crowdfunding projects where classic games or types of games have been brought back to life. I know there have been things like Legend of Grimrock which trade heavily on their association with DM. But what I am thinking about is...

Hi , I just wanted to ask why this thread is so hard to find on this forum! I played this mod a couple of years ago and was thinking of giving it another go - but its taken me about five visits to this place to find it (because I couldn't remember what it is called). From what I can see this is the ...

Well if that is a bug, then it was present in WP4 - because I ran into it without even knowing it was a bug. After I cleaned up the footprints, the door in front of the "energize dead spores" spell opened but nothing else on the level. This is why I posted earlier that I was surprised that...

Thanks for the offer - but now V5 is out presumably I am better off just starting that and playing it through again? Are there many other changes other than the projectile glitch? ( I was wondering why things like rocks thrown by rock monsters were doing so much damage! I guess this is part of the s...

Awesome, thanks for the link. Actually looking forward to starting again and going through in a more structured way. Probably won't bother with Lor this time and try and get all four guildmasters, if this is possible? If I was going to do this, which would be the easiest master for me to unlock firs...

Lol, ok actually I think I am getting myself confused, due to the naming system - The Conflux I have is called ConfluxWIP_004. Looking at the downloads page on the wiki here- http://dmwiki.atomas.com/wiki/Conflux#Conflux_Versions It appears that I have the latest version. The program itself isn't mu...

Well, I guess that is my mistake then - just checked and I am on V4. I thought I had got it from the home site though so it would be the latest version.
If I find V5 can I import my save? Don't mind starting again too much to be honest, if I've been playing the wrong version all along ...

So what is DSA? Every time I start the game more or less, I get an alert "Excessive DSA operations - this is the last warning" or something similar! It's done that from the start basically, so I don't think its a save error. I didn't give it much thought because I just close the alert down...

If you are reading this Zyx would you be able to look at my save please? Let me know how to get it to you.

Yes I did get a fourth party member, and a fifth in fact! I don't think the screen is shaking because I visited Oblivion - because I don't think I have yet! It's behind the Helion lock door isn't it? (Bring Hell With You)? It might be because I have visited Inferno - I have definitely been there! Ca...

Well, any directions you can give me about the alternative route through Moria would be most welcome - I didn't think my characters were particularly wimpy (mostly master level in most things, up to =master in my guys' primary disciplines).But I don't last a second in the green nightmare corridor - ...

So... Solune then ... Is he going to die? Been hacking away for a while, getting the same sort of immortal vibe I was getting with the scorpion.. Also - how do I get back down to the guild endings/dragon/clockwork maze area? Since I came out and went back up (through an escape route I found in Gothm...

Thanks guys. Will get back to having a proper look for the dark councilor tonight.
So it is possible to survive failing the trial? What is the area where you are teleported to when you fail the trial? Is it on the Inferno level?

Ok this is the third time I have made this post - I keep leaving it unfinished so I can make sure everything is in that I want to mention - then coming back and it's timed out, and after I click "post" I lose everything I've written! I've done pretty much everything you've suggested, Phoen...

Actually thinking about it I did have multiple flasks at one point - but a giggler stole one and I saved before I noticed, so I have no idea where the other one is now.

Thanks for the tips. I have pretty much done all the things you said though, apart from multiple flasks... When you say the triffids are invulnerable to all intents and purposes - do you mean that they are actually totally invulnerable? Or is there a "secret" way to kill them or something?...

Well I am a bit stuck now, because everywhere I go I run into enemies far too powerful for me! I can't handle the council chamber yet - every time I drop in I get torn to pieces by the Vexirks and their fireballs. My other options are - Moria - the Balrog is still running around the main room, makin...

Yes I think I just found the apprentice room, didn't explore too much. I'm not strong enough to fight the council yet - every time I drop through that hole I get slaughtered! Explored further down now and found myself in the Emerald Forest - pretty scary place, didn't last long - think I need to tra...

Ah ok- have been trying that - basically just need to keep going, I guess! I can't say enough how impressed with this mod I am - it's like being addicted to DM all over again. I could probably do with a hint about where to go next, to be honest. I seem to have got to the point where *most* of the mo...

Hmm, well Moria is currently infested with orcs and a balrog - last time I popped my head in there I barely made it out again alive! Maybe I should concentrate on killing vecna first? can't seem to last 5 seconds going head to head with him, either - and spells just get thrown back at me! Also I rea...

Hi, just started playing this again for the first time in years, amazing how it's come along. Can anyone give me some quick hints about where I can find a few corbum pieces? I found quite a few with my first party, then restarted with a new party to try out some of the guild masters, and can't find ...

Has anyone ever made a definitive list of meanings of the Hint Oracle hints? Reading through them on the encycopedia, I don't remember what a lot of them mean, or refer to. If there isn't one, we can start one in this thread - list the Hints and your interpretation of what they mean, and when we've ...

Well done, you have done better than me! Despite playing CSB for the first time when it was released on the Amiga, and then on-and-off ever since, I have never got anywhere near the end. Closest I got was a few years ago, on winCSB, where I got 3 corbums in the pit. Then I hit a bug I've never found...

Just wanted to say good work on keeping the encyclopedia going for all these years. It has been one of my most visited websites since they launched the internet, as I am not a regular user of the forum (although I do browse from time to time) I wanted to pass on my appreciation and thanks. I've been...

So what conditions are needed to create a Chaos in CSB? and what happens if you kill him, rather than winning by the usual Corbum way?

Still, easiest way to continue characters from DM in CSB is using RTC imho. I will check out RTC.. but the impression I got from reading up on it on the Enclclopedia is that it isn't such an accurate remake ...for example some of the stats/ mechanics have been changed from the original, I believe? ...

Thanks Beowuuf, finally got it sorted! I was clicking everything I could find in CSBwin but just didn't think to click the squares in front of the portraits and edit the text !

Ok, I downloaded CSBuild and it looks pretty complicated. I loaded in the dungeon.dat from csbwin (is that right?) but I can't find a way to edit the characters.
