Dungeon Master Forum

Funny you should say that after seeing how dungeons can be twisted only in the last few weeks... ;o)

Regards, PitD

Glad to hear that. I have to recover some sanity after playing Conflux II but I won't forget about it ;o) For the hit testing maybe we should create/make a list along the lines: Armour value used (unified protection): aaa Monster having fun with the character: bbb Total attacks by creature: ccc Hits...

At the moment it seems that the blocking abilities are not shown in CSBuild - only the visibility has its equivalent (either the cross through the tile is bold if visble=yes, otherwise it is not). I could not see any green colours in that file (download of dungeon.dat from 2004-01-13 00:33). Here's ...

Sone. This was only a very short log - getting in, some mouse movements and then out again. If you need me to perform specific actions, let me know. All the settings were the same as for the last tests.

I'll stick to Newcastle if you don't mind. Although Stella is a fine brew, no doubt about it. Beo, what is your favourite? Maybe we should start another vote ;o)

Regards, PitD

Hmm. Yes to find out what parts are attacked is hard - so we would need a standardized test version to check, otherwise the results would be useless since we could never know for sure what was attacked. Or can that be built in a version (like the CSBwin 3.0++ version being able to display XP points ...

Funny... "Zed's dead" reminds me of Pulp Fiction first... although I think he was spelled with an "s" in that movie...

Thank you. I did not change anything on the installation of V0.28, only the movement keys in the config file. Maybe another problem with system environment like I have with andyboy's editor?

Regards, PitD

Hi andyboy, just to nonplus you - I tested v0.7 on my computer at home (~600 MB, 128 MB RAM, S3 Savage Graphic card), the milliseconds were 15-17 (object vault closed) and 21-23 (ov open). Reason escapes me... maybe there is a problem with Matrox graphic cards?

There's an "Axe" hangover shower gel (or is it called "Lynx" over there - I never remember...) - ever tried that one? Not that I particularly noticed it working but it has this bright green colour that's making my head ache when I look at it ;o)

Regards, PitD

I think that out of 1000 people approximately a tenth will actually download the file. Over the course of a week that should be fine. I thought about the option before proposing it, should there still be any problems I may have to redraw the file but that should be about all.

Regards, PitD

There's many custom dungeons available for Dungeon Master at the encyclopedia upload forum (see quick links above)... have a look there

Regards, PitD

Maybe we could share the work - one person doing hit evaluations with say ten different kinds of armour and ten different creatures - hundred hits from each. That should be a good base for a statistic. Otherwise you can test a very long time on your own if you want to do it all. I'd also suggest tak...

Only laughed about it a fair time afterwards myself... but you're right. Amazing there can still be so many "new" things to this old game!

Regards, PitD

Well it's just the design I should have thought about that. All right Gambit, I think the answer is evident now ;o)

Denise: Both Vorpal blades in DM are in level 5 (the one after the treasure stores), the first one is hidden in a secret area right after you pass the three doors with the warnings ("You better turn and run"), the second one near the end of the level in a room with skeletons. Beowuuf: Rare...

I can temporarily provide a location for an image on an ftp-server for say, a week. That means once a picture is available I can offer you to keep the download up for 7 days. Sorry I cannot offer you more, but that's about the maximum time I can argue it.

Regards, PitD

As an afterthought: I did not know that you were recruiting, Beowuuf ;o)

Regards, PitD

You now have your coke Beo and are bored so we need to write you some lines, eh? :wink: K, here we go... Whatcha readin'? Perdido Street Station by China Mieville at the moment, some comics (Faeries and Lucifer 5 are waiting for me), Kinky Friedman (is he gonna get into politics after all now?) and ...

Um. One thing: When I click on the "read more" of the DM Codex I get the same page again - no visible changes. Anything I'm doing wrong?

Regards, PitD

Yes, it gives a good first impression and looks great. About the only thing I did not like was the small picture for "stuff" at the very bottom - but that's just my taste. Good stuff!

Regards, PitD

No problem at all I am stubborn as a cretin like a friend of mine used to say. Since I cannot write scripts I'll have to do it the hard way... oh well. Thanks for answering !

Regards, PitD

BTW: Pardoned of course ;o) We're not at school here, after all...

Hi Denise and a warm welcome to the forums, you sure a a veteran of the game, hope to see you around some more! The choice of the characters is entirely up to your taste - in general a team of two mages (in the back) and two strong fighters (up front) is recommended. On the pages found at the links ...

http://dmweb.free.fr/DMCreatures.htm Knights don't seem to be very much susceptible to poison - getting them under doors and simultaneously attacking them seems the best idea. If you are in an open area avoid direct combat and try the "hit and run" technique. Scorpions are quick - but Ful...

I sure hope it will be. I still like the graphics a lot and if you keep up the detail level to be found in the bestiary (as far as it's available) it will be a real treasure store of information. Yeah, pun intended.

Regards, PitD

The others are still in starting position I assume ;o) BTW: I noticed that the "last post" was still shown as being from in my browser when it was actually Zyx who had made it - could it be that sticky posts have a different handling than "normal" ones in that respect ? Regards, ...

There's many threads of the (non-/half-)legality of ripping game code, graphics ... around here, have a look if you want to. On the other hand, if you're enthusiastic about creating a new game, maybe better do that later...

Regards, PitD

Hmm. Since I did not get any reply so far and can not remember any settings as described above, could you let me know if you had a peek at my file, George?

Regards, PitD

Thank you, does that also go for the strength of a door, for example? In percentage numbers ?

Regards, PitD

No problem. The computer at home is even a little slower ;o) But it might be interesting to test it here in any case, see if a different graphics card or other settings effect the editor.
