Dungeon Master Forum

Hello,

Sorry for bringing back this old post, but is there any update on this? This is because I would also be interested. Is there any non-WHDLoad version of CSB 3.5 that would work great under WinUAE without copy protection issues, or do I have to rely on the cracked 3.1 version?

Hello! It's been a while since the last time I posted here.

I just discovered something weird with the cloning bug where you press space bar twice after selecting a character in his chamber, I don't know if it has been discovered before : when you perform the bug and the character portrait is at ...

There was a remake project called "FreeCap", but it is abandoned by his author. Unfortunately...

But... I already extracted the files. I have extracted the monsters, the objects and some other elements.

No posts exist for this topic

Anyway, it's been 3 years since nobody posted here until you.

Dungeon Hack isn't that bad. I agree that after a while, you get bored a bit, but this game has some nice features and the randomness of the dungeons and elements are quite good and sometimes original. It's cool when at each floor, the walls, floor and ceiling are always changing of texture and ...

That's okay, I understand. Just tell me when you'll be ready.

I'm ready to get your saved games at anytime.

You can either click on the "email" button or go into my profile to get it.

And btw, I said : it depends of you. You CAN continue playing the game with the PC-Dos version, but it's just that there are so much additional bugs that make this version not very good.

Do NOT start the game using Cappo.exe or any other EXEs. ALWAYS run the game with Captive.bat instead.

Now, I'd suggest you to keep your savegames at a safe place and reinstall the game.

A better suggestion would be : get out from the crappy PC version and come on the ST one. Okay, the graphics ...

Err... I don't know. I think he's referring to different shops, probably. Shops don't always sell the best weapons and the best armours, only one or two do. In the earlier levels, it's not all the shops that can sell armours and weapons though.

Those answers are from Lyverbe :

1. How does the damage system work?
A table in memory is used to determine the minimum and maximum damage each weapon inflicts. A random damage is picked, multiplied by the weapon quality and the droid's dexterity. Resulting bits are shifted before being used and ...

Use Deflector only for emergency (like when you're trapped in a dead-end by a hard monster).

When I said "kill themselves", it's simply that encounters are stupid. They'll fire at you even if you're behind a wall. So, if an encounter fires at you and that there's another encounter between you and ...

What new experiences? The additional features like recording?

The first space station is the hardest space station of the game because you can't find a shopkeeper for a long time and also because you don't have access to the strongest armour and weapons yet. But this space station is not impossible.

Space stations have shops, every level have them. You can't ...

I already tried CSBWin and it's a very nice program. But I would really like to have the possibility to edit french texts for the PC-Dos version. I checked the Dungeon.dat file format and I didn't totally understand the Text Data section, but I have a little idea. Maybe an example would help me and ...

1. He said one time that he may have future plans with the Captive source code, but I don't know much about it.

2. I don't know, but maybe that there wasn't anything much to do. Anthony worked hard to be sure that everything was okay. Don't forget that Anthony also worked on Captive II right after ...

But, I mean, latest Atari ST version is 1.3 and PC-Dos is 3.4. Which version of DM it is under CSBWin?

Hehe thanks! But I'm just a single Captive fan. I'm not related about anything with Anthony (if just that I'm a player of his game).

And The Ultimate Captive Guide is NOT my website, I just work on it and improve it by locating the errors or missing things and advise them to Pierre "Lyverbe ...

Is CSBWin better than PC-Dos?

Beowuuf : I already have DM if I have Dungeonf.dat file, logically! ;) So, I also have Graphics.dat file necessarly.

In fact, I have taken the 3.4 PC version of Dungeon Master (the multilingual one, of course).

If you edit and save this dungeon with CSBuild, you won't be able to play it with an ...

Hey, I'm Michael from The Ultimate Captive Guide (see Thanks section).

1. You can get sounds under Dosbox by changing the Sound Blaster type to Sound Blaster Pro Version 1.0 ("sbtype=sbpro1" in Dosbox.conf). Anyway, I really don't recommend Captive under PC-Dos because this version contains a lot ...

Okay, here are the errors I got when trying to open DUNGEONF.DAT:

Level descriptor for level 0 says it is for level 20. Should we fix this?
Level descriptor for level 1 says it is for level 63. Should we fix this?
Level descriptor for level 2 says it is for level 63. Should we fix this?
Level ...

Okay, I tried CSBuild and this program shows correctly all the texts, but there are so much errors when I opened the file... Is it safe if I perform a Save? I don't want a buggy DUNGEONF.DAT file.

EDIT: I just saved my modifications in Textmute and when I opened the file again, nothing was changed ...

With Textmute, I tried modifying the DUNGEONF.DAT which contains the french texts of the game. But the strange thing is that there are missing texts. There are supposedly 101 texts used in the game (on walls, scrolls...) without the character names, but when I open DUNGEONF.DAT using Textmute, there ...

I asked Michael Newton and he doesn't know.

Sorry for the triple post. It's been a long time!

It's just to say that I'm still playing the game. I'm now at Mission 37. :D But anyway, I met a friend that created a program that allows you to edit almost everything in the game of the ST version of Captive by using it under Steem, the Atari ST ...

I switched to Atari-ST now. I've taken a save game from a friend that brings me 6 missions back. This is quite better then nothing.

I'm now at Mission 20 under ST. And I'm at mission 24 on PC.

UP!

Jason: I tried your tricks again and I don't understand the "remove the droid chip" trick. Stats are given randomly. And the punching bag trick doesn't wotk because it requires that the droid takes damage. And if you remove all the parts, the droid doesn't receive any damages. Also, punching ...

Ow... ok then. Didn't realise it before I guess.
