Great !
Please share this program of yours it might interest other people, and I'll add it on the Encyclopaedia

Your replacement file list is correct for CSB Amiga 3.5 English.

It's good to know that it works! A few hours of gameplay without any issue is still required before we can trust this.

I fixed a bunch of issues and now all executables compile and link successfully, with NOCOPYPROTECTION defined or undefined.
I have not tested any of the executables that you are interested in, so no guarantee that they will work as ...

The toolchain defines the platform where executables are generated, not the target platform where you execute them.
After developing DM Atari ST on Atari ST and DM Amiga on Amiga, FTL Games decided to move development for all computers that use the 68000 CPU to Macintosh, using the THINK C compiler ...

Also I noticed that I have to use Chaos strikes back for Amiga toolchain in order to get CSB for Amiga. When I build using CSB for Amiga toolchain, I get only Dungeon master binaries.

I don't understand this sentence.

Although I have placed NOCOPYPROTECTION compilation directives in lots of ...

I also got the same error message today. The home page of the site is a PHP script that handles redirections to the appropriate page in case you clicked on an old link (the ones with "/?q=" in the URL). I keep this in place to avoid breaking all links to the site created in the past ...

Probably a transient issue, it works fine for me now.

On Atari ST version, graphic item #562 defines a color for each champion, but it is ignored to draw the graph bars. The bar colors are hard coded in an assembly routine specific for Atari ST.
All item effects are also hard coded in a dedicated function.

These things cannot be changed easily. You ...

In the dungeon.dat file, each door has 2 bits to specify if it is destructible by chopping or by fireball:

Did you know that there were several versions of the DM2 demo for PC ?
Over the years I came across 5 different ones, now available for download and described here (click on the "Demo" section):
http://dmweb.free.fr/games/dungeon-mast ... #downloads

The inaccessible location is (07,09,30), as described here: http://dmweb.free.fr/games/chaos-strike ... -07/#notes

The font format is here: http://dmweb.free.fr/community/document ... #fnt1-data

I don't know of any user friendly tool to edit that font.

Dec values : 00 - 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 - 50 - 120 - 10 - 80 - 90 - 100 - 110 - 120 - 130 - 140 - 150 - 80

Caution: palette changes are 16 bytes long. You have 17 values here, the 80 at the end of the line is not part of it !

For example the first value 120 is at index 6. It means that color #6 in ...

I got an email from "shu" (Japan) with some useful information for you:

Question about changing chest weight:
https://www.dungeon-master.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24489
With CSBuild, can change the chest weight and save it to "dungeon.dat".

I think you can use the "Import/Export Manager" in ADGE.net to export the binary item 558 to 562 to separate files, then edit these files with a hexadecimal editor, and finally import them back into you modified graphics.dat. This way you can edit anything in these items, although not in a very user ...

The "smoke" when a creature dies uses the same graphics as poison cloud but with a different color palette.
The palette changes are stored in item 558, see http://dmweb.free.fr/community/documentation/dungeon-master-and-chaos-strikes-back/graphics.dat-item-558/#05feh-1534-16-bytes-unknown-data

I have added an archive of this new version on the shared OneDrive.

I removed the [img] tags in your message. They cannot show the images because the links are not links to images but links to web pages containing images.

Have I understood this correctly?


Yes you are right.

You can get confirmation in the ReDMCSB source code, file CHAMPION.C, function F0303_CHAMPION_GetSkillLevel
When it computes the skill level for a basic skill (0 to 3), it uses the experience amount in that skill.
When it computes the skill ...

In DMDC2, in the menu Edit / Edit Dungeon Header, you can change the number of maps in the dungeon. The maximum is 64.

The official DM2 patch available here should fix the sound issues:
http://dmweb.free.fr/games/dungeon-mast ... #downloads

DM2 is fairly simple, closer to DM than CSB.
Much less keys than in CSB, and they remain available in locks so you can grab them back after usage.

CSBuild allows you to search for objects in a dungeon or saved game:
http://dmweb.free.fr/community/tools/cs ... l-csbuild/

There is no Iris character in CSB.

There are two champions "hidden" behind illusionary walls in the Prison:

There is a "secret" character in the saved game on the utility disk: http://dmweb.free.fr/games/chaos-strikes ...

Thanks, I'll fix the link in the next update.

I hacked phpbb code yesterday to prevent anonymous users (guests) from creating sessions. As a side effect the number of guests visible at the bottom of the home page stays at 0.
The forum is still bombarded with requests, but now the performance remains acceptable.
We'll see how it goes in the next ...

It seems we have a lot of "success" recently...
Tens of guests are connecting each second continuously, which fills up the sessions table in the database and slows down all forum pages.
You can see the number of simultaneous users including guests at the bottom of the forum home page.
I purged that ...
