Dungeon Master Forum

Hi, I have regular problems (crashes) with several dungeons created by Zed5Duke - while without any problems I have already played most of other dungeons, for RTC.049 but for older versions as well. But many of Zed's dungeons crash - usually with a "division by zero"-error message. It happ...

To avoid spoilers I write some hints in small characters:

Maybe someone is hungry or thirsty?

What do you find near the teleporter you cant enter?

Could someone give me a hint in which area I can find the winged key for the armoury? So far I got 3 corbums, sapphire, emerald & diamond, killed the dragons, did the rings-puzzle, but without ruby I am stuck. I checked all the ruby-area twice checking every tile, but winged key must be somewher...

Hi, I enjoy playing Surgical Strike (2.1), and several times I was "almost 200% stuck" and thought about consulting the forum, but then after some time I got the answer or the solution myself (except the "One and one..."-riddle). But now I am really stuck, I think. I already got ...

Yes, I will restart from the beginning and maybe it works this time. A little pity, since it is a hard dungeon from the beginning, but on the other hand sometimes a "second play" is easier and faster.

Actually it happens when I kill a knight or a guardian (maybe he carries something). But, as I wrote in my post, not ANY knight or ANY guardian - just those two. The dungeon is more like CSB than DM, but does not seem to be very large so far: you re-enter the same levels, triggers for doors are some...

Sorry, cant upload the screenshot, so here the error-message: RTC has detected an access violation exception. Details of the error have been written to the diagnostic file... Please send this file together with a brief description... (and so on, no tech. infos) And here the content of the diagnostic...

Hi, I am currently playing "Chiefy Dungeon" with RTC 0.24, and after some levels it crashes at the moment when I kill some creatures (knight or guardian). Strangely, it happens only to SOME of them, since before I managed to kill other guardians or knights in the same places. I get an &quo...

Hi, I am playing this dungeon and have finished a lot of tasks: all 4 necklaces, killed Gea and Darr, purchased all RA-armour, got almost all of Darc-armour (except a helmet), killed everyone on the VIPTIUM-level (a lot of guardians and 1 thief), killed all vexirx on the vexirx-level (except there i...

Is there any chance to download an earlier version of RTC (The Rookery was created in 2005), and try my savegame there?

And I fear Minstone is no more around...

Hi, I just started playing "The Rookery" and have a problem with a wall button - dont know is it a bug or a puzzle: From the room with 4 doors (north with antmen and snake, east with 4 blue gems, south with vorpal blade), I choose the west door. After killing the knight, I got an advice to...

Well, I kind of mix up the quests - just discovering what happens when running around the Conflux-universe. So most times I finish some competition quests without even knowing before these were quests.. :-) But about mapping: I suppose too to be the wrong guy for that. The reason: I always discover ...

Okey, I am now stuck in several places (like on the bridge with the Dark Knight. I suppose to know what is necessary to pass him - there was a hint on a wall somewhere. So I just have to find the stuff.) But in general there are several places I cannot pass TO a key (a "magic fog" stops me...

Of course I thought about it!!! Have fallen several times - but maybe there is a way to fall (or do someting else there) I havent tried yet... Thanks! Something else, a general question without any hints please: So far, on every level I left behind, there were some unsolved areas / riddles. Is it ne...

Two questions about choosing champions: 1. After finishing with my party 3 quests (of Leyla, of Mophus, of Gothmog) I have no clue how to open the door on Hulk's quest. Maybe there is no way, since I miss a proper character (i play with Zed, Gothmog, Leyla, Mophus). There is no champ from the "...

I have a problem finding the 3rd GREEN GEM. I had no problems finding all 3 orange gems and 3 blue gems, but with the green I seem to be stuck. I got one after killing a rat (in a north-east part of the green-gems-section), and a second after killing the small monk. I went all over this part of dung...

Hi, It seems that I need a wooden stick at two places in ToC: to stick it info a hole in wall to enter a closed garden (level 2, 17,25) and in the green-gem-tower (eye expecting a rope and "timber", ). I remember I had a stick found in the southern garden, but I seem to have lost it!!! I r...

Hi Paul, Thanks a lot. As I see the directions in my maps are correct - so my party (Gothmog & Azizi) had a good orientation feeling even withpout a compass :-) So I think the solution to the "overlapping" cells seems solved: in the both "garden"-cases (seen on map) - the ans...

Hi Paul,

I am currently in the level with Church, Market Place, Forest etc. So in the beginning.

Hi, For few days I am playing the Tower of Chaos, version 3.3. Downloaded from http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/1484, playing under Linux, using Paul R Stevens newest Linux-based CSBwin. The fun of making my maps alone and having no hints in internet is a great feeling, like the first Dungeon Master tim...

Hi, I am now playing the "Small Demo Dungeon" (http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/1227), which is quite nice. Some parts are quite hard (riddles, monsters, sometimes BOTH!), some quite easy. It is really fun to play WITHOUT any maps, descriptions, hints. It reminds me of the late 80ties and my f...

Thanks guys. I have just finished CSB again with 2 characters from CSB prison. However, I dont like this kind of "cheating". I "cheat" the other way: training extensively (but mostly wizard and priest spelling) in places full of food, water (and peace!). I must admit I was a litt...

You are right!! When I try it with a champion from other parts (not the 4 "deaths"), it works. Thanks!

Yo misunderstood me. My "other" champion is not the other (second) extra-champion. I walked there only as Plague (who is a "normal" champion).

Hi, I wanted to start CSB with 2 champions, one should be Plague (reincarnated), the other I wanted to get from the "hidden" parts of the prison. There are two guys, one behind the room with stone-piles, other behind the mummies. And here I had to give up. No way to kill the stone-piles. S...

Hi, Today I finished DM with Halk. Acutally, after learning the first spells (end of Level 3, thru help of Teowand), and then training them every time I had time, food and water, it wasnot too hard. Only funny thing was, that at the end of level 11 (with water elementals) in the "coin-machines&...

Thanks you all. So I trained a lot with Halk - and gained 67 points in mana already! Great! - I can walk without the torch - if there was any - (which was occupying my second hand too!...), can heal myself and enjoy a detox-cure!... And have a new weapon: the poison cloud. Acutally "war cry&quo...

(As I feared) I could not stand making 2 levels today - the 2nd and the 3rd (with magenta worms). So maybe it is good I just now learn about the "War cry"-trick. I have already the Teo wand... But so far it was a little tricky to get here - especially with section with worms, ghost and the...

Hi, Similary to my tries before, I am now starting a DM- (und hopefully CSB-) walkthru with only one champion (reincarnated). BUT - a champion with extreme low characteristics, either physical or magical. Furthermore, as usual, I use to produce only the spells my champion read (und thus learned) on ...

You mean, when fighting "materials" DISRUPT is a very-very strong hit. But at the same time I can user DISRUPT as a "hard-hard"-hit, similar (stronger?) than DISPELL, to fight "no-materials"? Is then DISRUPT finite (like DISPELL in some sticks), or infinite?
