I rly have better things and even games to do than this one but casually decided to do some stuff again. Who knows how to: - manipulate/remove the Keep's black silhouette when outside - I am customizing a terrain from the green grass terrain and there is still the castle shadow seen in the backgroun...

Oh boy, that game engine sux, I mean kentaro did a whole feature to modify the palette and this palette modification is useless when you can't even replace few colors. I know you can use the existing colors but in the past I would take the image you see, lighten it to become more white than grey, an...

^ At first I wanted to replace 16 colors for one sky, then another 16 for a new terrain, 32 colors ruined lots of images, not that I couldn't fix them but all of them just for a terrain and clouds, not worth it (replacing the 2nd green row of colors, seems was bad as it also was used). Then I did it...

Hi. here is a new release. http://kkdf2.sakura.ne.jp/DM/DMDC2_DM2GDED_Skwin_2014_03_18.7z Thank you VERY much for this! This little project of mine was halted for almost a month, as there was no reason to import images if I cannot get some colors right, let me show you the effect of this very impor...

^ Very nice and thanks, yes I put my little project on hold until this happens, cause there was no point importing pics with wrong palette. And in some days and if you have time would be nice if you can see what's rong with my Teleporters in other place I pointed out (Map 25 to Map 44, then the tran...

Thanks for the tool! At first I had trouble getting the GPL file in Gimp but after importing some palette, it appeared in the /palettes ... In fact, I managed to change 32 colors with colors I need and from what I see the colors that I added are now in the DM2's palette. However, I see the DM2's cus...

Hi. So you can try it. Do you have a new set of 256 colors in a palette file or such? You'll need to convert it before importing. Do you know step by step how to do that? I've no idea where this palette is located to replace it, nor how to convert it. I have gimp to work with but idk what format it...

I will summarize my questions here but I have a major question: Can I modify the palette of DM2? I have a set of at least 16 colors that I need and got sick of having crappy images only cause these colors are missing in the palette. I will remove all purple and add these new ones.. As for the questi...

This looks more like it but as mentioned above, to be a gorgon, would be nice to have some snakes in the branches (otherwise the branches look better than in DM2 (PC)'s version in order to be a 'gorgon', Also the eyes and face look bad.. one thing I may do for example in my modification is replacing...

Thanks for the update on DM2GDED, it's nice to be able to remove and paste items you add, useful to have. Skwin needs some OpenAL32.dll file to run but it's OK, I will stick to DOS anyway and your dm2gded/dmdc2 tools. I will play around even with the terrains and colors, who knows, something may hap...

I intend to keep the the DOS/PC DM2 on which I am making it, cause I use it for Dosbox etc. So if I cannot make a new terrain with the DOS version, I will just modify another of the existing ones. Maybe the rooftop - which gives me an idea - can DM2GDED delete items? I want to delete the Rooftop ter...

I really hate those Teleports are wasting my time, in another place where I do it the same way as entering the Chamber of the Void to the Void, I'm trying to make entering FROM OUTER MAP TO VOID smoothly but as you can see on the way back, so many images are wrong: http://i.imgur.com/bHX8kAf.gif I k...

Hi. I think you are one of core user of DM2GDED/DMDC2. So I just wanted to share about current limitation What I meant is, is there a way to make at least ONE more terrain to the Graphics.Dat? If there is no way, no problem, I will just modify the Rooftop as the less needed. I want to confirm the d...

Open the songlist.dat in an hexadecimal editor : Image Each value is corresponding to a HMP music number. The first value is then the music for the first map (vault chamber); the second value is the music for skullkeep roof, etc ... Thanks! Solved Songlist.dat and I did set musics for each Map. 00 ...

I will later get back to you for teleport and shop issue, haven't checked those yet. That colors are hard coded in the program. It is up to you if you want to make these editable or not, just let me know if you will do, it doesn't matter to me. I will eventually have to use Yellowish and Red colors ...

@Sphenx Still looking into the teleporter issue Well, DM2GDED is the tool for importing new musics into the graphics.dat. You would search for MIDI to HMP converter to have the proper file format. Then, using the songlist.dat file, you can assign a music number to each map. This file contain one byt...

In my version I will change its look, like the color but too cartoony 'face'. Need smth more evil. Gorgon is the creature with snakes instead of hair, I agree treant is a better word. No one has made a 'tree gorgon' art and it would make no sense, since they have a tail like a Medusa and are creatur...

Sorry can you show me a screenshot with the missing teleporters. I only see 2 teleporters used everywhere between maps, in each one of the two there are the Teleporter and Crosscene actuator, I am not aware of any 'teleporter behind cross scene actuator' - if you're talking about the first actuator ...

Thanks for the latest version, the options for Up/Down staircases now work. Ok, how about the charge count of weapon in DMDC2? 1 or greater may be needed to light. I only see Charges Used, not charge count and yes Used is 0. which means it has all charges. The item still doesn't light the area, I fo...

With the latest editor version I can even do my own items! How can I make an item glow like the Tempest/Fury? I select Flags" light 4K, 32K and the item doesn't make the rooms glow when equipped in hand. That issue might be fixed. New version is avail now. http://kkdf2.sakura.ne.jp/DM/DMDC2_DM...

^ I noticed if I wanted to set say a Wizard to be Master, if I changed the first value it doesn't make him that but if I changed the 4th value it does, so is there a way to see these subskills explained? The site you posted doesn't work. Oh and I am still waiting for these unsolved things: Sub-quest...

This should be the latest version; for copying items/actuators, go into the room edit, Rclick "copy sub items" or "copy item and sub items", go to another room and do "paste as first/last in sub". Exactly this doesn't work for me with his latest version, older one work...

Here is a quick reply: you have here to change the offset coordinates of each map manually to have it match with its neighbours maps. You go to the "level descriptor" (level properties) and change 'Shift X' and 'Shift Y'. These two values are the absolute position (left top corner positio...

Thanks for the latest replies, I can say now 5. Starting character - someone else/none, not Torham. Torham in hibernation - solved. 7. Invisible (imaginary) wall - I never knew Ctrl + Left Click options - solved --- 6. Misplaced maps, Ladders, Stairs work - SOLVED! - The problem is that if I modify ...

Thanks very much for helping, you can ignore the email, it's kind of the same as here but in this thread are my updated questions, meaning the ones in the email don't matter. 1 - SOLVED - I managed to change the life/stamina/hp bars as I want, too bad the same colors are used for other things like M...

Hi, thanks for replying.. so what you showed in the PNG is the palette and I have to choose colors from there and set the colors of the UI to whichever corresponds to e.g Green and Dark Blue? That would be fine since it has the colors I want. So like 08 is one of the players , A=11 is another, I am ...

Kind of old but fyi, it is weird that ppl around haven't heard of these DM2 PC tools like lol.. so much better than DM1 and all go DM1? I recently tried them and it seems that there is indeed error when you try to place OUT OF PLACE creatures - things that aren't supposed to be there- they die when ...

Lol I've played DM1 just ones, yes it had some harder puzzles but it was nowhere as exciting as DM2 that I've done so many times. It seems some guys are just die hard about DM1 but I like the DM2 and cannot say so about DM1 that felt way shorter. Yes there are too many things that could be abused in...

Hi, I have been a hard core player of DM2 TLoS on PC it is one of my best of the best old DOS games. I solved it all myself without using any Walkthroughs, the puzzles especially the last one to break into the Void entrance, all found it myself... And from time to time like once per several years I ...
