Well I'm confused. Could not find pits where you described them - are you following the maps numbers (00 to 09) or the classical and DMute numbering 1 to 10? Are the coordinates given the same as in DMute?

By the way: Congratulations for over a year of this competition (or at least the thread)... ;)

As a non-programming user I can only say, that every visual help is appreciated with editors, ideally clicking on a tile or function and being able to change all the possible options via scroll-bar or suchlike. Also, extended integrity checks (for instance for cloned objects, pits to nowhere, doors ...

Zauberkäfig is profane, stay with Bannkreis...

Actually, I also used them from time to time, especially to find monsters in a certain area, when I knew they had to be somewhere to make sure they did not appear in my back... ;) I did not want to call the spells useless, just maybe less used than others, the point being: as included in the origina...

bannkreis is not bad indeed - I thought more of the energy field, but you're right, this fits better.

I missed last week and pretty much of the discussion about the new spells, so here's my opinion on the subject. First, any changes on the original game are by definition manipulations without the given permission. I do not think, that FTL minds much, but that is another point. Second, personally I d...

There is no proper german translation for "fluxcage". Flux means power, energy and belongs to physics (magnetism and such), cage should be clear. So the resulting word would be "Kraftkäfig" in german, which is plain stupid - the most appropriate word I can come up with is energy ...

I actually like Gothmog a lot... along with Chani one of my favourite characters, which is why I found the start of Benjamin Prieu's "Enfers" very to my liking... (the rest seems a bit tough to me, but I'll give it some more tries)...

<t>Let's close this line of discussion.<br/> <br/> I agree on most what you say and probably Amber's suggestion with the counters is the easiest (and most accurate) way to give you the information you want.<br/> <br/> Personally, I appreciate every single dungeon I can get my hands on - I know, I wi...

<r>There is a hint of sarcasm, yes.<br/> <br/> But let me clarify: I already wrote I would rate and write a review for each dungeon played through thoroughly, and I intend to keep tjat promise.<br/> <br/> I am very well aware of the amount of work such a dungeon takes to make since I did play around...

If you try Chaos Strikes Back for Windows ++ (based on Chaos Strikes Back for Windows v3.0) by DjArcas you can see via a cheat menu what xp is awarded for which actions on the different levels.

Although it may not be conclusive for DM, it will give you an idea of what is going on.

50... but I suspect I should belong in the category below, although there's a huge difference in the description ;)

I have read them, but unfortunately I cannot answer them by knowledge. I would guess from experience, that lightning is weakened by anti-magic. Personally, I use to combine the party shield with the fire shield for stronger opponents like demons and it seems to decrease the power of the attacks, but...

Ok: I dowloaded every dungeon available at the moment. Use this information as you please

@Celine: It is a forum, so there are no redundant questions. Anyone asking is worth being given an answer, although I can understand that some questions might be uninteresting for old timers - but they can just skip them, right? ;) @ Christopher: There are no dumb questions, only dumb answers. Pose ...

<t>Small note: I found this site some weeks ago and downloaded many dungeons, but I am not one to play them through in a short time. I like to explore dungeons carefully and find out about all the options, tricks and traps, so in my opinion to expect feedback from a lot of people after two weeks is ...

Aside from the maps, it would be helpful, if you could specify which level and (at least roughly) which room you refer to, otherwise it's hard to give an answer. Scanning my memory I cannot recall a room that fits your description at the moment, maybe some of the others are more visionary...

I think most people here could get well through the dungeon without maps, notwithstanding some minor errors in tracking. But I still cannot see the point of this spell. Invisibility at least sometimes works (especially well in "Return to Chaos", where every monster I tried the spell on sto...

The only point in the game where you need a silver coin is at level 14 to open a door to an altar of rebirth. But since in this level you can find some silver coins scattered on the floor (which should should search after killing the dragon, they're not easy to find), you can as well throw it away. ...

What is the point of the blue gem?

Opens a secret room in level 3 (chamber of the guardian I think) containing mummies and a gold key and can be used to open the wall next to the inscription "enlarge my view" in level 11, although someone in this forum pointed out any item could be used due to a programming error. Other tha...

Hmm you may be right, I checked all the manuals and hint books and the ygave an answer similar to yours... question is: is it worth it? The spell costs a lot of mana and you'll see worse yourself... would depend on the enemies I guess. If it were knights or suchlike I might give it a try!

The rabbit foot "slightly" enhances the hidden luck attribute, i.e. increased chances in combat for hits I imagine. Up to you if you take it with you, does not seem to do much. But it's small and will fit anywhere, so give it a try...

Since this is a place for the fanatics (no offence meant, counting myself in), here's a basically useless question, but I'm curious: Has anyone ever used a darkness spell for a certain purpose -besides seeing if it works- and if so on which occasion and what for?

Also very useful if you're short of hit points or mana -although I detested using this spell for a long time- is invisibility. At least in Return to Chaos monsters do not attack you even if you're directly hitting them under their nose. Only problem: wears off very fast even with well-trained magici...

I asked the question myself only some days ago and was told there is no easy solution. There's a forum entry in the CSB Forum saying you can use DMute but might have problems with the character pictures... and I think someone referred to a complicated way for that task, which was also supposed to ha...

I seemt o recall tw0 maginifiers actually: one in level 6 (firestaff) and one in level 9 (scorpions) - am I wrong. Don''t think that is too complicated... although I always preferred the mirror of dawn ;)

Mirror of dawn worked perfectly well both in DM for Amiga and original PC version.
