Dungeon Master Forum

I can't remember where I stole the idea from... it was some game. Probably Bane. The difference with Bane though it is played in phased time, so the spells could work different. Maybe items should be banished as well: it'll make you think twice about using it then! Again another good reason why we h...

Shows how often I play DM2. I have not played it since I had it on my Amiga 4000 (now that WAS a great machine) many years ago. I will try and get it to work on the PC but I remember it as being far too easy, but fun.

DES GOR SAR: Banish - sucks an enemy into another dimension

Cheers(!). So useful, I forgot it...

The staff (conduit) is in CSB as the serpant staff as well. Window allows you to look through walls, like that spell that I can't rememeber...

Hey Chris, 'great minds think alike....' I had read your spells, but forgotten them. Sorry! Yes the Vi water/ice complication. I suppose we are running into the limitations of this system. We could change OH EW ROS to OH IR ROS I suppose. Get our own backs on the gigglers. Though I prefer to hit the...

Hi Sophia, This is going to go on for a long time methinks! It is not about making the dungeon 'harder', or 'easier' but different to allow new dungeon designers to implement new techniques and puzzles into their game. There are about 15 or so add on dungeons currently, all enjoyable in their own wa...

A few raw ideas: OH EW ROS - STEAL: a random item from an enemy is stolen, if they carry any. FUL KATH RA - MINE: lay the mine, and when an enemy steps on it it explodes. YA IR ROS - MAGIC MISSILE: such as a magic arrow, or bolt that damages certain monsters. OH KATH - SONIC BOOM: another offensive ...

I had better make this clear, that my last statement refers to how people MAY interprete your message and does not therefore necessarily reflect the view of others on this forum or myself for that matter.

A few quotes from Sophia: "And global spell additions would put people who chose not to accept them at a disadvantage" "It forces people to learn them new spells" If say new spells are added to existing dungeons, then the existing dungeon becomes new, not neccasarily easier, hard...

lol, so do the scorpions, a lovely shade of blue!

The film making/work of art analogy is interesting. This has happened to a lot of films though, remakes sequals etc. Paintings are a little different as they are static. If you were to alter it to your preferences, it means you must have a copy BUT the original will still be there... Another analogy...

That bottom line could also be added to the 'altering the game' discussion. Substitute the above phrase for 'theft'.

"There is no right or wrong merely a matter of opinion"








And I am right!





Only joking! As long as people enjoy the game, that is what matters, and this thread has been entertaining anyway.

<t>I stand by my quote of being able to do with your goods what you like once you have 'purchased' them. Disect, alter, whatever it is yours, YOU payed for it (for personal use only, I will add!). The problem, as you rightly state, arises from the publishing of these modified files and where you obt...

I have not lost half my life playing DM, just a third of it... Seriously though, even if you only play it a few times a year for 17 (oops 15, er well that'll be 14 actually with a few months if you are correct) you will exhaust it quickly. I certainly don't spend hours every day playing DM but I hav...

<t>A classic will always be a classic. Development of a classic will not mean the original is forgotten: in fact it is a tribute to the design of the game.<br/> If increasing the number of actuators increases the flexiblity of the game then go for it. I don't think the matter is 'exempt' or not, bec...

Actually I am not an oldie, I am 24....

I believe I have 'truly exhausted' the original DM dungeon (heck, I can do it in an hour using Gando) but not the potential of its structure. Yes you can create new dungeons, with the same old feel and a lot of them are very enjoyable to play but I believe that some of us may be able to gain more fr...

Oh and while I am at it, would it be possible to create new weapons, ie ninja only ones? (such as an attack from a weapon). This will give the ninja a little more use apart from its current role as a device just to improve stats. I admit I wouldn't understand one end of the source code from the othe...

The original game will ALWAYS be remembered for how it was. It is 17 years old, and if creating new spells adds variety for older players or more interest to others then 'I'm all for it'. You don't HAVE to play any modified versions. Well that's exactly what you do when you download a new dungeon or...

I agree with the choice of Hawk, he is a good character, especially with his high stamina. People who lose stamina/have low stamina annoy me due to the way I play the game. This is why I only usually take one or two characters, as I eventually find the back two too weak and hinder my progress. Train...

I do not practice sword play, I bought the item for decorative purposes. However the steel is of very high quality and has been used in the past for show fighting but is poorly balanced. It hangs on the wall at my Dad's house.

Aaagh, it did it again! In fact I'm suprised the message even got through, as I got the 'web site not responding' message.

It seems that a lot of DM fans own weapons. I have a 5ft claymore, which possibly isn't the best combat sword as I can hardly lift it.

Ah well, just 10 points then...

<t>Level integrity is fine, so I don't have a clue what's going on.<br/> <br/> I suppose there is only so many traps you can do with the current engine, but you can vary the theme. In mine, I had some of the same puzzles and traps as original DM, but added a few twists to them: so that nice shortcut...

Yeah 4 weeks is a bit short, the current one is taking ages. Anybody know why the Grey Lord's graphics distort on level 14, then crashes the game? Can he only 'exist' on level 13. Thanks.
PS he is the only monster on the level.

A border line score! Maybe you should be classed as an occaisional addict, because you get withdrawal symptoms if you are away from DM for too long! Every body puts D for the last question so... e) Zed: An evenly balanced person, has a go at everything (5points) or f) Lord Chaos: Causes utter disrup...

<t>As with most discussions (arguments!), there is no right or wrong, just a matter of opinion. The sarcasm made me laugh actually, I understand your view, but personally I think you should contact the author(s) out of respect. I am not saying write a ten page email grovelling to the composer, but m...
