Hello! :)

I would personally like to try to answer 20 more questions! ^^
Congratulations to George Gilbert and Zyx! :)

When you say "should I add video games to the mix?" do you mean the games we first played in pubs or similar places? (like "Bubble Bobble", "Operation Wolf", "Final Fight ...

Hello, ^^

Hmmm... Arf! You can't say you dislike my scroll... ;)

Well, here is a short story of this graphic :
- the first version is the one I prefer, but it is not usable with DM... When I drew it, I (stupidly?) thought that the letters were drawn using a transparent background color, but in ...

Hello :)

Hmmm... my favourite creatures in DM are:
- Giant Scorpions (amazing graphics, great sounds, very impressive)
- Couatls (great graphics too, frightening by their speed!)
- Mummies (I can't forget this first encounter!!)
- Red Dragon (What a shock! ^^)
- Lord Chaos ("Hell... this guy is ...

Hello

Hmmm... I must confess that I need the Firestaff only to catch and punish the cute horned guy...
I would feel very ridiculous if I had the Firestaff in the beginning of the game!! ^^

Hello!

Hmmm... Out Of Topic Remark : I once played a "Grave of King Millias" dungeon... and I liked it (your creation?)... (La la la, nobody did hear anything...).^^

Hello! :)

Hmmm... I just wanted to say that what you did is very impressive for players like me (^^).
When I first played CSB, I could simply not understand what was happening in the "Junction of the way" : sometimes I met Ant-Men, sometimes not (it was other monsters, or nothing... Argh! Too ...

Hello! :)

Hmmm... I must say that it sounds very interesting!

I would like to ask a (stupid?) question :
If I draw a chair for example, and would like to be able to place it wherever I want, facing the direction I want - will I have to design 4 different skins for this chair (one facing North, one ...

Hello! :)

Ok, I corrected my mistake and created a new FloorMask.bin file. ^^

It seems that the skin is not displayed in two cases : when the player is standing on it, and when it is two steps in front of him.

I did put all the test files in a zip but it seems that I can't upload anything for now ...

Hello! :)

Hmmm... the most funny way I know is:
- Wait for the worms to enter the cell that is in front of you, then hit them (with the highest option you can, and as many times as you can).
- take one step on your right (or your left, depending on the way you like to fight or available space ...

Hello! :)

Hmmm... Ameena (or Fippy?) is surely right... But, what about changing the rules (for once)? ^^

I would just like to propose another way to choose your characters... (Beware!) This is an 'heretic' way to choose them (!)...

Here is the way I personally choose my champions:
- Don't look ...

I'm sorry, the 'thing' was referring to me...
I edited the previous message because what I wrote were my own depressing thoughts...

I try to do things the best that I can... not always easy...

Hmmmm...

So CSBWin was wrong... ?

Charlatan75

Hello! :)

Hmmm... I don't understand where you think I did number the cells wrong (?)...

I saw that you numbered them 0,2,4,3,1 (and so on...), and I understood that it was just the order in which the skins of these cells were drawn in the dungeon view...

I also understood that in the "FloorMask ...

Hmmm... Argh! It seems that you're right... but I don't understand why the link does not work.

I zipped the picture and uploaded it again here :

Charlatan75

(Argh! I'm cursed or very tired, I inverted the notations 'D0', 'D1', 'D2', 'D3' in ...

Oups, sorry, it seems that the drawing of the cells didn't work fine.
Well, I put a picture here for that :

Hello! :)

Thank you, Paul. ^^

Well, I tried to create a test dungeon with a floor skin representing grass, just like the example I talked about.

* In the first room there is only one cell, in the center, which is ornated with the floor skin. This is just to check that the skin is well drawn in ...

Hello! :)

Would it be possible to make CSBWin draw the floor skin of a cell after it draws the walls which are "behind" this cell in the dungeon view ? (it seems that the floor is always drawn before the walls)

This could allow, for example, to use a floor skin representing grass that would not be ...

Hello :)

Hmmm... Odd? Ha ha! No, not everybody here is odd...
(Oh, No! I don't like the pink pills, please... grumpf! Argh!)
Well... there are people here (with red hair and wonderful moustache, for example) who are sane, so don't listen what the doct... Hum... what "some people" say.
By the way ...

Hello again, :)

Hmmm... The answer was given by PaulH. ^^
When you are facing the message "when is rock not rock", just take a step on your left, then one step just in front of you (into the wall, which is "just an illusion"). You will then go "through" the WALL. :)

Hello

Hmmm... I played (and enjoyed very much!) this game on Atari ST. But I've never been able to go further than the location that Phantomlord describes (Mission 2, planet 2, no way to find any code to go on (tried many times)...). :/

Charlatan75

Hello

Hmmm... believe me, you can trust people with red hair and wonderful moustache, they always tell the truth. O:)
And don't worry, you won't damage the WALL... ^^

Charlatan75

Hello! :)

Hmmm... Wow... I'm a bit taller than my favourite dungeon designer... ^^

Well, Ok... that's not very interesting... Hmmm... not interesting at all (?)... Ok... I write on the paper : "Not interesting, they don't care if you are taller, but they like your T-Shirt", Really? Oh! Thank you ...

Hello

Hmmm... just like Zoooom I cannot answer... I probably fused the dark naughty guy around 10 times... so even the first answer "1 - 40" looks a bit excessive! ^^

Charlatan75

Hello :)

Hmmm... As Beowuuf said there is no way to open this door (even in the Atari version you can't, it would be too easy ;)).
When you take the Firestaff, the door on the East or on the West opens (depending on which door you chose to open with the master key). And at the same time, the 2 ...

Hello

Hmmm... to help you I would ask :
In which circumstance can you see someone that is exactly your equal? ^^

Charlatan75

Hello Antman!

Hmmm... in fact that's because you said in another post that you give up for the moment... so, I decided to wait... ^^

Hello!

Hmmm... well... I've just sent a new savegame for the flask, in 137 moves

- Charlatan75 -

Hello!

Hmmm... the flask I get is also the one that is in the Barracks! ^^
By the way, I sent a new savegame for this flask this morning, in less than 150 moves this time

- Charlatan75 -

Ok, thank you Zyx ^^

Hello!

Hmmm... for "Get an empty flask", we can get any flask? Or is it limited to the one with the scroll saying "Quest of the flask. Bring me three potions..."?
