I have encountered a few problems in this otherwise excellent editor. The first problem regards the teleporters. When loading a dungeon created with 1.3 with the 1.4 version, it effectively turns off all the teleporters. So if you were to do this and didn't realise, and then saved your edit you woul...

Vitality affects your health points... I actually meant to say dexterity.

The Diamond Edge does have a good effect against the Knights and Golems but only when you have attained a certain level of strength and vitality.

The levels do not have an official title as such, this is just a reference. Call them 1,2,3 etc if you like. Each level has a set area and offset which is the biggest limitation of this program, however other editors allow you to expand. But then you will not be able to read it with DMute. There is ...

My progress is going to be a little slower as I use my bother's computer and he needs it back. Better get down to the electrical shop I suppose... I managed to get down to the scorpion lair a couple of days ago using Tiggy2 with just 2 pieces of 'film' though I had actually saved about 5 times. I ju...

Well, I got to the 40 strength eventually, but killing the end worms sure is hard. Is anybody else apart from myself and Paul Stevens attempting this? It wouldn't be much of a 'competition' if it were just a two horse race, but I am going to have a go anyway.

??? And back to the Tiggy competition. There is a way of giving Tiggy a head start with a bit of patience. While I was aware that the primary stats roughly halved in CSBWin when you reincarnated a character, I was unaware that their secondary stats increased slightly. (I know they did in the amiga v...

There has already been a lot of 'discussion' regarding changes to the game (spells, items, graphics etc) in older pages of this forum. I myself have been in a few heated debates but I am all for development. Many people think that the original should be left untouched as it is a classic (don't rewri...

Hmm there has been plenty of 'discussion' regarding new spells and graphics in the older pages of this forum. I myself have been in a few heated debates about this, but I am all for development. A lot of people think that changing the game in this way is a sin: have a look through , it makes interes...

I would hardly call an extra 9 strength points 'only'. I gained two ninja levels by the time I got down to the worms and got one point of strength. We can't use weapons (apparantly) and I don't really fancy standing in front of a rock pile and war crying it to death. This just becomes boring.

That door is causing me a lot of problems. I can't seem to load the savegame file into any editor to open it. Which would be technically cheating anyway; what is to stop you deleting a worm here, or a scorpion there... it would be difficult to trace. Anyway I would not like to cheat. So the options ...

Sorry Paul, I meant the 'Don't let a closed door stop you' door on the worm level. I renamed this door in my dungeon hence the confusion...

Those darn keyboards ;-) Before I had read your last post Paul, I got down to the Test Your Strength door. But as my Tiggy only has 31 strength there is no way I can kick it down, unless I gain a lot of Ninja levels. So I think the competition may be better if we used Zed. With the minimum of 40 str...

This version of Tiggy seems to work fine. Not easy though!

I think the healing should be included but the chances upped from 1 in 3 to say, 1 in 1...

Paul, you made a error in your link above (it looks like you hit the 'a' key instead of the 's'!)

I can't see a problem with more than one competition, but it would be hard work verifying all the different attempts for different scenarios. Beowuuf, the 4 or 5 competitions you list are good examples, but when it comes down to who wins, it will always be either least time or least number of moves ...

Will the winner be the person who completes this scenario in the least amount of time/moves? If this is the case, then you will need to complete the dungeon in one go with no saves. Unless you can get the counters to 'carry on' from the last save. Even then, you could just repeat a section time afte...

Gor is used quite extensively in DM2. I believe the dragon, Mongor makes use of this rune! (Mon - Gor)

While the darkness competition will indeed be a test of dungeon knowledge, it will be, as somebody pointed out, not the most compulsive of viewing. So here is my suggestion. Similar to Race to Fusion, but you have to collect some items on the way. This makes the player take more of the dungeon on du...

The easiest way to turn the fireballs off is to enter the level from the stairs above and then drop down one of the many pits. Collect the Vi potions and then drop down the the remaining pit. Get the Staff of Mana, enter the teleporter and you will be staring straight at what you need to turn the ba...

There are many different ways of playing this game and strategies to suit the individualities of every player. That's what makes it so good. My favourite spell is the poison bolt, des ven, as this slays a lot of monsters quicker than a fireball and can be fired through iron doors. Unfortunately it i...

<t>Have a look on this site for item lists which show their benefits such as mana bonuses or increases in secondary stats. As you are 'new' you may not want to do this as it might give a few things away such as items you haven't found. So, in true DM fashion, go and explore and note the changes your...

<t>After a long absence from my computer I have finally got back to this site, and downloaded this which is going well... a 'warm' start if I ever saw one! I shall post a review in the coming weeks.<br/> <br/> I am currently working on my own dungeon, using Dmute as I am most familiar with it and ha...

Some interesting questions about the weapons, but it usually comes down to style of play. I prefer the Hardcleave to the Inquisitor due to the 'chop' option but my heaviest bezerk hit has come from the Inquisitor. It seems that the sword has a harder 'chop' than the Falchion, though this may be due ...

Keep the Diamond Edge - a fantastic weapon. The stab option hits hard against many monsters and doesn't take as long to 'reload' as other attack options such as thrust or melee.

Some monsters are harmed more from missiles than others, for example screamers. A screamer with 50 health points can be slayed by throwing a dagger at it (usually) with a moderate character. In my DM record, I killed a lot of monsters early on by throwing things at them as they died quicker than the...

And do you jump down all the pits???? I think that it should be EVERYTHING ie every room, pits that leads somewhere where you can't get by other means (such as the ones on the early levels that you usually avoid) ALL coins, gems, staffs swords etc should be collected and deposited in a set place exc...

Also, do we have to do it in one go, or can we record in sections?

Ok.... First thing, I can't read French very well, so if I am stating the obvious or points covered previously, then I apologise. Items in the game: I take it we have to collect things like gems, coins, swords etc. Or do we? Or just some of them? For instance the magnifier on level 10. You don't rea...

How do you know when you have 'cleaned the dungeon' completely? What if you missed a giggler? How do you know if it has been generated or not? You would have to know the workings of the dungeon really well to do this (I suspect a lot of us do) but people may dispute a recording. We need some definit...

I don't think this could work as you have put it, as the conditions and boundaries will be impossible to define and could be interpreted in many ways. A better proposal would be to kill a certain amount per level, or say the dragon, the golems and all knights and demons.
