Well ... I could share the save files so that you could try to reproduce the issue locally. Does it look doable?

However ... today I'm unable to even start the engine. It says "Overlays not supported" and I don't know why. The string is present in alleg42.dll.

the log says

Hello. Any chance to troubleshoot crash I'm experiencing in the Dark Reign dungeon with v0.81?
The section "Play with fire, but be careful" is causing the game to crash after sending a fireball to the teleport.
100% reproducibility - it prevents future progress.

Looking at the DSB source, it's a pity it doesn't support Linux builds yet...

If you want to convert RTC dungeons into DSB though.... that would interesting.


Yeah... I either wanted a conversion or add a support for the RTC format in any of the existing engines or eventually write a new engine from scratch, depending on the analysis outcome.


You can't create an open ...

Sorry guys ... I just woke up after a long sleep and apparently a lot of things changed ... I just know I enjoyed playing RTC dungeons and I guess majority of them haven't been ported to DSB yet as the engines are probably not 100% compatible, or are they already? I just didn't want them to slowly ...

I believe it would be very helpful if the authors of existing custom dungeons could somehow share the original files from which we could reconstruct the binary blobs. This could also help us understand the format. And even if we don't succeed, at least there will be a chance to create a new well ...

Any chance someone here knows anything about the RTC file format?

Hello everyone.
Since George Gilbert is very probably never gonna return to fix bugs and keep the RTC engine alive, I was thinking about reverse engineering the whole thing.


I recall there was a weird hack where it's possible to open . RTC files in the editor, but I don't think they can be saved ...

Well, It's sad people invested so much effort to create dungeons on top of the RTC engine and that effort will die with RTC if George doesn't find a way back to this community. It's a matter of responsibility ... responsibility for own child

Well ... the editor only eats .TXT files and doesn't accept the .RTC file. Is there any way how to edit .RTC ?

Has anyone tried to do a reverse-engineering of the RTC file format? I would write the engine from scratch, but analysing the file format could take ages and it makes no sense to build a new engine with no support for the RTC dungeons :/

Well, I tried to contact George via e-mail a week ago, asking him to release the source code under a suitable open-source license, but got no response. It's such a pity, since RTC looks like one of the best DM clones ever made. Unfortunately it has few annoying bugs and this one is the worst. I ...

Hello. I'm playing one of the custom RTC based dungeons and got in a state when too many items are generated and the game crashes due to that. My last save demonstrates the problem .. When I either kill the rockpile producing 4 stones or cast zokathra 4 times, the engine goes down. I expect there's ...
