just had the party icon crash bug in v.11 . No imported characters. Was on the first level (below hall of champions) Party was: Hairy guy | Lizard Tiggy | Wuuf Hairy and tiggy were turned sideways from getting attacked (two screamers), I turned to face the attackers, clicked on Hairy to turn him the...

Can scrolls display pictures? Or just text?

I just went in to test something else on the PC DM (place valuable on the floor) and found out something else. Mana regeneration on characters with very low mana (6 or 7) and no magic skill (don't know how skill effects it) regen mana much faster in DM than in RTC, by probably about 5 times faster. ...

I was going to say that only droping it (not throwing) was the only solution in the original DM but I went in and played ... throwing it worked. So in the PC DM at least throwing as well as droping it works. I think there may be a problem with things hiting the wall and landing on a pad (this might ...

You have *way* more faith in M$ ability to handle virtual memory and memory. My hard drive thrashes so much when I play memory intensive games I swear windoze stores the important stuff on the hard drive and the crap in ram. Either way the less that gets carriesd over to virtual HD memory the faster...

I hadn't thought of that one drake, and what about the speed of wall shooters also?

It seems to me that these are the things that should be modified by difficulty level: Monster Hit Points Monster AC Monster Movement Speed Monster Attack Speed Monster Attack Power Party food/water consumption rate Thre reason monster number isn't in the list is (as stated in the bug forum about the...

I understand what you are saying Zyx but I think if you are concerned about that feel of the dungeon then don't include any screens. I think the added benefit of including a plot, giving directives/objectives, and telling a story outweigh the cost of interupting time. I good dungeon will have few of...

hehe deffinatly weird, I didn't throw it first but a screamer slice did <b> not</b> work for me.

I will freely admit to not understanding what beowuuf just said... but here is my idea(s) for control over dungeon diffucly by the creator. The main one would be to allow difficulty specific pads. For example pads that only operated if the difficulty is 5 or up. It would be nice if it was a range, s...

I do not think I was clear on my idea of plot screens (that or no one else likes the idea...) I would like to be able to set it up so that when the party steps on a pad (say at the bottom of a set of stairs) a screen pops up that takes the whole screen or just the dungeon view area. This screen woul...

I threw basically everything at it, and what finnaly got it to open was a water flask with one drink taken out of it. It could have just been my 20th item or something thrown though. The full water flask that I threw right before did not close the pit.

This is more serious than stated above. I had trouble throwing over: daggers cheese throwing stars clubs In the 'the vault' room of the second floor I got to a point (after the second coin slot door) where I couldn't throw anything, whether there was something on the floor or not. Not only that, my ...

*not an official reply* but.... "- The Graphics Set of DM2 should be contained, including all monsters and items...if possible. the mummies of DM2 for example look great." Go for it, start taken screen grabs of DM2 and chopping em up. George has enough work as it is finalizing RTC and then...

Take a look at the other posts in the other forums on this message board, all your questions are answered there, and a lot more. Basically: The only person currently capable of making dungeons for RTC is George, so there are no other dungeons right now besides the ones it comes with. Other people wi...

That came out a wrong. I had just read in another thread that you (amber) havn't actually run RTC, and I think the rune system in place would allow for the control to make a dungeon harder, more interesting in the maner you wish. In fact I think it does it better, because no matter what you change t...

Heh I think you need to dl and play RTC amber, check out what has already been done to the spell system.

tick tick tick tick
two months now....
sorry i'm being annoying, but if I don't get a real life why should anyone else?? hehe

* eagerly awaits being able to create his own dungeons for rtc *

I think it would be possible but would it be worth doing? or better, do you think its possible to make a <b> good</b> random dungeon generator? I need a project to keep me outa trouble (hehe) and thought of this, assuming of course George releases the text dungeon files anytime soon. Any ideas, comm...

I wanted to give this idea its own thread. Full screen text scrolls that could advance the plot / give story. They should be pad trigerable etc. Also how is the end decided? Is it set as one location, like the start location? I suppose if we wanted multiple endings we could port to the end location ...

I disagree gambit. It is really obvious to those of us who have been following the development of RTC and been involved in the discussions that resulted in the spell book implementation. To some one that has only played DM? I'm not saying its very hard to figure out, but the person doesn't have to b...

Hm this made me think, it would be nice if we could include text screens in our dungeons. Maybe with the scroll graphic of the credits or something, where we could give a short intro with some needed information or something. Should be pad trigered, and escaped by a button or just enter or something...

Its been over a month now... thats plenty of time for "Real Life" George, get back to the important stuff!! More RTC!

Welcome to the board and the community Toneduder.

Most (all?) of those issues have been discussed and debated. I would suggest browsing through the other forums and in particular maybe the archive section.

came up with another question.

Can buttons (pads etc) have more than one effect? I mean like you click on it once and it opens one pit, click it again and it closes another, a third time togles the first pit again etc. ?

the wandering conversation.... Are walls a set height? In otherwords if I want to make an outdoor zone with trees that would be taller than the walls of a dungeon, could I? Can you set what level your party starts at? I would like to have a large dungeon with buildings that go up and down - ie a cas...

According to my calculations at 256*256 (is DM is 32*32*14 which I think it is) you can fit 4 and half full DM master maps (all the levels) on one RTC level. If that is not big enough for anyone they have serious problems. The math (so you can tell me if I'm wrong): Number of squares in all of DM: 3...

I would prefer seeing the txt files for the original dungeon before 1.0 release. At a point where (as I think it is now) only minor changes are going to be made, I can live with going through my creatures and adding a bit, or making minor changes to my dungeon layout. Where I see the problem being i...

You might want to run dxdiag (fromthe run command) and go through all the tests to make sure your direct x is working right. You might need to reinstall directx (newer version or the same..btw which version are you running?)

I don't know about the DMJ site.

However I was asking how big a zip file of the override folder would be for your new graphics. If you can get it down to 5 megs I can host it for you...
