Re: DMBuilder version 0.88.g is out!

Thanks for looking into the issue.

With this new version:
- I opened an existing dungeon.
- I added two new texts
- I added two new scrolls in the dungeon and selected the two new texts for these scrolls.
- I saved the dungeon.
- I closed DMBuilder, reopened it, and loaded the modified dungeon ...

Re: DMBuilder version 0.88.g is out!

Another one: when editing the stats in the text of a champion, only the first 4 digits of the stamina value can be changed, not the fifth one.

Re: DMBuilder version 0.88.g is out!

In DMBuilder 0.88.g2, I'm trying to add a new scroll in a dungeon.
I add the scroll with + and press enter to edit it.
Then selecting a text for the scroll fails: by default it uses text 0, and using the right arrow I can move to text 1, but then it stops working and I can't select any other text ...

Re: Does anyone use lightning bolts?

Running into your own projectiles is actually a bug in versions 1.x and 2.x of the game engine.
It was fixed in later versions.

Re: Does anyone use lightning bolts?

Wrong assumption: the SNES version is a direct descendant of the Apple IIGS version, so it is an early one (internally it is a version 2.0 engine as shown by the version checker sensor).

The SNES version of DM is based on the Apple IIGS source code because the CPU in the SNES is very similar to the ...

Re: Does anyone use lightning bolts?

In my previous post I described the effects of Fireballs and Lightning Bolts on creatures. In this case attack types like 'Blunt' or 'Fire' are not being used in the source code, I only used these terms for clarity.
Damage from the collision is not decreased by fire resistance of the creature ...

Re: This Game Needs a Remake Badly

Some facts:

All original versions of DM/CSB allowed only a single saved game per disk. Only hacked versions added support for 4 slots.
DM2 was fully developed by FTL Games and not by Interplay. It was released in Japan in 1993/1994. Graphics already looked dated for the time, but the game was ...

Re: Does anyone use lightning bolts?

I checked in the source code. Fireballs and Lightning bolts cause two sources of damage.

1. When a champion casts a fireball or a lightning bolt, it creates a projectile that you can see flying in the dungeon.

2. When the projectile hits a creature, it inflicts some damage. Stone Golems and ...

Re: New experiences with an old game...DM

If a creature generator is triggered when another creature is already occupying the target square of the generator, then the generated creature is indeed "queued" because only one creature group is allowed on a square, and it will spawn as soon as the square becomes free. That explains the instant ...

If you want, you can use CSBuild to investigate creature generator sensors and see how they are triggered.

In all other versions, there are only 5 skeleton keys in the dungeon.

Each creature generator is a sensor that must be activated by another sensor. Anything is possible as any other sensor can be used to ...

I saw this error 509 too. And the http 512 again.

I think I need to move back to a dedicated VPS hosting plan, similar to what we had before. I can get a refund for the next 20 days or so.
