Dungeon Master Forum

Just click on the dm.exe in windows, and don't let it create a pure dos link (say no at the prompt)...it will then open a command window and dm will run normally (though not with sound, don't select any of the options as the won't work properly).
Hope that helps

Are you in DOS or windows? If in DOS, and you get no sound, then you may as well play through windows where it should work. Otherwise wizer heads will have to help...

I websearched for Ian's forum on a different comp and found this forum -

http://network54.com/Forum/60948

anyone know who's it is/was?

There is no way to access it, but I was interested if it was totally seperate from anyone who normally posts here.

Yeah, six months ago I was like you too, I loved DM in my Amiga days and wanted to download either the PC version or an Amiga emulator - it was amazing to find people still loving and remembering it after all this time. You should check out all the new dungeons people have done too using DMute, it's...

I don't sleep, and don't hang around monster generators. However. I will fight every single monster hand to hand, while all the spare mana is used to practise priest spells or keeping stamina topped up. I'll let my fighters gain ninja levels against rocks and screamers, so all in all i normally have...

I have to agree with stamina, as I don't sleep too much (if at all - mainly during the start of one player games). so the more I can keep fighting or moving without having to start downing YA potions, the better. Wisdom, is best too, as in governing the learning of spells, and quick learning of prie...

I know Gambit has a good set up for CSB on WinAUE, and there are a few old posts on the subject. <p>"It's not a bug, it's a feature...oh wait, it is a bug..."</p>

I got CSB from Dan's site, and can't play it because...it needs a different kick rom! ARGH! So Zach, I still have my zip file (600 odd kb) for WinAUE that I will post somewhere soon if you have no luck, and if you get a kickrom of 2.04 or higher (i think mine is 1.3) then feel free to send it to me ...

A random thought entered my head about the difference between the original dungeon.dat file and the dmsave.dat file: could the extra 2kb be a temporary memory space? We know that there is a limit on objects, yet when you play the game extra objects from creature, creature dropped items etc are creat...

I've never had anything to compare it to
So, have you had any problems with the dmsave in drive df1, still not saving?

And in that case, do you have CSB, and tell me what tweaks I'll need to make it run well?

It's just another emulator like fellow and pacifist...a simple websearch will find it, but i fired it up again out of curiosity and I am having trouble saving a DM game even though dmsave is in the df1...so I'd hold off and perseverse with fellow...a lot of people see mto use it, anyway.

I downloaded WinAUE ages ago, and only ever used it once or twice...so I don't know if the kick.rom you got is universal and works with everything, or if it is just for winaue. With Winaue, i waited for it to boot, then you can actually drag and drop the file, which starts fine. So I'm afraid your g...

damn, the message board added another part to the address....if you give me your mail address, i can mail it to you, or the address i was trying to give you was:

www.geocities.com/beowuuf/kick.zip

There's one on freedrive linked rom Ian's site, or you can also get it from here

(http://www.InsideTheWeb.com/messageboar ... f/kick.zip), and it is the one I used in WinAUE

1. The missile post is in page 5...but also, the trigger that activates the missile hole needs to have an additional element, you must add 10, 20 or 30 for an east/south/west facing shooter to the 7th byte. 2. The stair lock-up bug is covered on page 5 too, other glitches are as stated, (incorrect g...

putting c in the third byte of a wall object will mean that it can only be activated by a mouse when the object is the last one on the list (much like my recent posting on the power gem objects) Combine these two and you can create, as someone asked about months ago, a gem hole that can be turned in...

About the flu anyway : )

I got a friend to try it and they had no problems, and neither did I..that's a worry, sounds liek you are getting my log in screen which is on a diferent site!. I can mail it to you instead, or just sign up with freedrive and it should be there

If that is easier to download:

www.geocities.com/beowuuf/kick.zip

I've uploaded the kick.rom I use in WinAUE, if that helps?

Yes, you will need to have a wall object/pressure pad with the action 'open/activate' acting on the same square as the generator. Generator reserch is a bit thing on the ground - the 8th byte seems to limit the time between generations - the default value set of 88 means generation time allowed betw...

1. The 'chesting' of objects should have been in a post from George. This method will also work for giving objects to monsters (same two bytes are altered). a) Place all the items on a blank floor tile b) Press 'z' on this tile, and note the last two numbers given (bytes 7 and 8) c) Change the leftm...

You need to place fluxcages on each one of the free spaces around chaos, then fuse him. Of ccourse, chaos is very fast at teleporting and running from these. Best bet is to wait on the far size of the room with the two squares jutting fron the corner of the room. If you lure him here, then fluxcage ...

stone clubs are tricky...they will normally miss or do mediocre damage, but every once in a while (esp. with greater strength) they will do huge amounts (greater than berserker option 300+hp) of damage to anything...I have killed stone goles in one blow!

Maybe I'm paranoid, but I am sure that the gem of ages helped my general magic abilities.

Maybe the gem of ages helps the probability of casting wizard levels, and ekkard cross priest, though i would swaar that the gem has helped me with the lower level castings and gaining of levels on both.

Have you fully recovered from the flu? And, of course, how was the DM dungeon coming?
Haven't heard a word about either from you for a while : )

Heh, on the old amiga, you could actually (with accurate mouse work) click on the push button 'cast you influence...' door before falling fown the pit. God bless slow computers. And you can have two gold keys spare, so nope, you definaely don't need the key there. I ALWAYS use Ma potions as I run th...

From previous threads erlier in the year, I gather that Dan who did this site was busy with work, etc and hasn't been heard of for many months

The DMute forum is a seperate site altogther, though visited by alot of the people who check out this one.

Hey Toni, how is the new small dungeon coming along?
And I think we should keep a thread linking back to Ian's DMute site - not enough people seem to know about it for DMute tips and existing fungeons.

My playing style atm is to fight my way through everything, but except for throwing random fireballs and practicing potions when i have spare mana, i don't try and build up, so the ninja levels are only gained when thumping rocks (or screamers, if i want some extra levels and hp) There is something ...
