Dungeon Master Forum

I was looking into japanese mythology, they have a ton of cool monsters and ghosts! Here are a few good ones I found online:

Akaname "Filth Licker," is a creature from Japanese folklore. It appears in unclean bathrooms at night when no one is around and licks up waste and grime. Having an akaname ...

After seeing the sandy wallset that came with RTC, Egyptian mythology appealed to me. Something with lots of scorpions and mummies, and, of course, various custom monsters. Running around in ancient pyramids and tombs, finding treasure, solving the curse of the Pharoah... it could be fun!

It could ...

I have mentioned that once I replay the original dungeons I may try a custom dungeon.

I figured some of you probably had ideas that you didnt have time or patience to do, just wondering what kind of dungeons you thought about making or would like to see.

I was thinking that a Pirate, Mythological ...

lol - i see.

I also noticed somone asked my same question a while back still on the front page - oops.

Numlock or not - most of the time I play on a laptop without a numpad, but lucky us RTC config.txt allows to to remap the key configuration pretty easily. For example I use SXADYC fo movement, F1-4 for character inventory, F5 for inventory cycle, QWER for casting character, 1234546 for spell runes ...

Looks cool.

Ok thanks for the info Lunever- useful stuff.

I had tried the num pad before and thought it didn't let me do side stepping but then when I tried again I realized I needed to put numlock on. Thanks! Now I can progress on my quest! If I ever get some free time...

Yes - only the forward/backward/turn arrows map to the cursor keys ont he keboard, but all six of the arrow keys map to the lower half of the numpad - try that and I think you'll find it works ;).
You can also change the keys in the Config file, but those are the RTC defaults.

OK - cool. I will ...

Hi, I just started playing DM, the original version thats packed in RTC. On level 4 there is a puzzle at the start thats really giving me a hard time.

I come up to a button that teleports me in front of a door 2 blocks down the hall. I need to side step through the door it seems but I can't do it ...

Alot of people use the standard old graphics to a point to quickly make the dungeons, large scale graphics replacement is pretty time consuming, as someone like Linflas can attest to! If you haven't already though, check out his 'Forest of Doom' thread in the custom dungeons forum

Yeah thats ...

I'm impressed.

If I do eventually make my own dungeon I' like to do a lot of replacement graphics but I think I'd just use the old DM style so that it integrates with DM things well.

Good job on the extra effort!

Thanks for the greetings folks!

Like I said I mostly experienced DM over my fathers shoulder. The first time we encountered the worm monsters I apparently ran out of the room crying, haha! So I need to beat DM myself at least before I think about doing my own dungeon.

In the past I made some ...

Hello, this is my first post!

My name is Ian, I am 23. I'm working in IT now but I went to school for Graphic Design. My dad used to have DM for Atari ST and I'd watch him play most of the time. I also used to like to edit the character faces, possibly an omen of my future computer art interest ...
