I can't believe the question was even asked......

@Ebeneezergude : Isn't that the job of the "moneybox"? You can store craploads of coins/gems in the thing, and it keeps on storing more :P Which is basically what Sophia said: making the "stack" a container and doing various tricks... Oh, sorry, didn't see the "moneybox&quo...

There are some pretty hackish ways of doing it (generally involving making the "stack" a container and doing various trickery involving that) but no actual "item stacks." Is there a way to "stack" or count money? If you collect gold pieces for example say, can they inc...

...or a "soap in the bath" object.

Sounds complicated....! Think I would prefer to keep it simple.... but perversely I like the contortionist logic of it... Wherever you step creates the adjacent bit of dungeon.... hey, there's a design concept right there for a surrrealist dungeon experience..!

Thanks Gambit, much appreciated!

can DSB make a wall object / decoration object that can be made to be visible on the tile the party stands on? For example, if it were a very wide alcove object? In the original DM, a wall decoration object generally appears to have a FRONT view and a SIDE view. In the SIDE view, this is the bitmap ...

You've probably all seen this already, but this really tickled my rpg-bone. Love it - great on the go on a phone.

I can't wait for this to come out.... http://www.abandonia.com/games/585 ... realtime strategy and decisions, resource management, a test of skill, intelligence, and resolve.

Thanks. I should caveat by saying "producing" means "am still producing it", rather that "it has been produced".... it ain't finished yet, it's being worked on, good n' proper...! (how many dungeons here are "projects under construction" I wonder...?)

I just realised I didn't say hello.... After sixty odd posts.... Er..sorry. And Hello! Started out on DM on a friend's ST, whilst I was playing Repton on a BBC(!). DM by comparison blew my mind. It was like magic.... FF game books and D&D in real time...! . Got an amiga shortly afterwards, waite...

I want a MON PEE potion mechanic added please

Yes, 50hz for PAL and 60hz for NTSC. Actually yeah I remember now, us and uk resolutions and refresh rates. The word 'modulator' springs to mind! :) The hand thing is also true, and was already mentioned above. :) Sorry, totally didn't see that mentioned above. (Unless its the full colour hand comm...

Can monsters be made to reflect upon their actions to create a richer and more diverse moral landscape within the dungeon? This would be more realistic, maybe with moral landscape tiles in ESB.

Is the 50hz / 60hz thing related to PAL/NTSC? The ST version also showed the cyan outline icon of an object when picked up, if I recall correctly, whereas Amiga showed full colour.

Do you have one of those little white bandages with the blood stain on? Come to think of it, where in the dungeon do they get those bandages anyway....?

Hope it gets better soon mate!

Hi Chaos, so what exactly is this? A base code alteration, a dungeon text file, a mod? I'm not quite sure I followed any of what you said! sounds good though.

Me too. First played it on st at my mate's house. Then got it for my Amiga. Best days ever. WinUAE on win vista works brilliantly.

Magica, that's a bit harsh. They are both brilliant achievements and we as DM fans should consider ourselves extremely lucky that DSB and RTC exist and allow us to do all the things they do. Sophia and George have my thanks and admiration.

Gambit37 wrote:Wallsets occupy an entire tile in RTC.

You can use triggers though, to turn it on and off depending where the party are standing....

Now that is a cunningly, fiendishly, dastardly good bit a lateral thinking....

Is it possible in RTC to have a wallset that only affects one face of a wall tile? Ie like DSB does, where you can specify all of the tile, or, individually on one of the four faces of the tile? In RTC I can only make a wallset fill an entire wall tile, which means the wallset graphic can appear in ...

Oh, apologies, I didn't see the DM2 table in ESB test dungeon.... will study it. Thanks.

Hi Sophia, thanks for your response. What would be very useful is a simple example of the code implementation, explaining how the viewangle property works within the archetype. Am not quite sure I fully understand where it goes and how it's configured. Many thanks.

Can DSB display bitmaps for objects dependent on view direction? For example, like the DM2 CROSS_1 object (it's called FLOORITEM_CROSS_1 in RTC). Ie, If a bitmap is seen whilst the party faces north: FLOOR_DECOR_FRONT0_N FLOOR_DECOR_FRONT1_N FLOOR_DECOR_FRONT2_N FLOOR_DECOR_FRONT3_N If a bitmap is s...

Chaos-Shaman wrote: RTCs main problem was monster AI, according to the messages in the forum. believe me, the problem was so simple to fix, probably why nobody could see it.

Hi Shaman, so how is it fixed? Or is "improved" a better term? Was it broken?

Thanks.

Yes am already do it all in DM1 gfx, mostly to save time because custom gfx slow my projects extremly and during my previously Ravenhood found that RTC have problems to compile dungeon when add lot of new stuff. Hi Zed, could you describe in a bit more detail about the problems you had in RTC when ...

OK thanks Sofia, no problem. Thought it might be a long shot. Am hoping you've had a think about 'how to handle custom images' for icons...

Hi Sophia, could you provide a simple example of how this might work? I'm not a coder type, but can 'reverse engineer' stuff sometimes when I see an example of something similar... how would I add a custom icon for a custom object, how would the above code be amended? Could you explain how the the c...

Thanks guys, and thanks to Gambit - that picture literally tells a thousands words, as they. Your post was very useufl indeed. So the long and the short of it is, RTC appears to draw it's flying wasp creature slightly more to the left than DSB does, which is why I guess DSB doesn't exhibit the same ...
