DM2 does use LAY1 for coordinates too. There is one such item in graphics.dat.

There is no limit to how many items you can pile up at one place, other than the total number of items dungeon.

I would say FTL probably compiled SKULL.EXE with Watcom C version 10.0a or 10.5, both available at: https://winworldpc.com/product/watcom-c-c/70
Version 10.6 was released in 1996, so after DM2 for PC release date in August 1995.

There is a DOS program called UNLZEXE.EXE that can uncompress ...

No, FTL never made CSB on PC DOS.

No need for an emulator, you can browse and extract files from Amiga ADF images with this online tools:

Nice additions !
thanks

I checked all versions: the display bug is present on Atari ST, Amiga 2.x, Apple IIGS and Super Famicom/Super NES versions.
In all other versions, the coordinates were adjusted and the doors look like the PC version on the screenshot I posted above.
This affects only the 3 mentioned doors in the DM ...

I could reproduce that issue in Chrome after creating a bookmark to "https://dungeon-master.com/forum" (no www.)
After clicking on the "Proceed" link once, the link worked afterwards. It seems Chrome remembers to ignore the issue.
The issue here is that the certificate is only valid for www.dungeon ...

I'm having an issue I didn't have my previous time around. The game's freezing completely requiring me to kill the DOS Box program.


You do have a cloned object in the saved game that you sent me: a 'Blue Gem' that is both in the alcove at (05,14,28), and also incorrectly linked after the ...

FYI I have added pages on the Encyclopaedia for your python projects

I can't speak for any other version of the game, but Gigglers definitely can steal from your backpack in the SNES version of the game.


After checking the source code and some testing, here are the facts about which inventory slots the Gigglers can steal items from. I will add this information ...

Copy this address and manually replace -at- by @ and -dot- by . in the address.
You can send your saved game as an attachment
Or please use any online file transfer tool of your choice like https://wetransfer.com/ or https://www ...

You are possibly a victim of a bug involving Gigglers and described here: http://dmweb.free.fr/Stuff/ReDMCSB/Documentation/BugsAndChanges.htm (See BUG0_12)

Unfortunately this bug was never fixed in any original version of the game.
If you saved the game after the bug was triggered, then your saved ...

I think I nailed it!
The http to https redirection was only working at the root of the site for URLs http://www.dungeon-master.com/ or http://dungeon-master.com/ but was not working anymore for URLs like http://www.dungeon-master.com/forum/* since one of the last phpbb updates I made some time ago ...

In order to troubleshoot this, if you can reproduce this issue, then please:
- Take a screenshot of the messages you see
- Please check the exact URL that is being used: does it start with http or https ? (you may need to click in the address bar as some browsers hide this by default)
- If using ...

OK.. I wonder what is going on, as I don't experience this issue. You use Firefox, right ?

With the switch from 1.x to 2.x+ of DM/CSB they used a LAY1 Structure in graphics.dat
That's not so simple. The switch was more between 2.x and 3.x, although DM for FM-Towns and PC-9801 are 2.0 and yet they use the new coordinate system.

- Old: DM/CSB for Atari ST, Apple IIGS and Amiga 2.x use ...

I guess that could be useful for custom dungeon creators who want to replace graphics and need to realign them. Certainly very few people.
That said, currently there is no tool to at least browse the layout data, view them graphically as on your screenshot, and provide a clear name/description for ...

Right !

The hosting company made a critical server update yesterday and there was some down time.
After that I also had to reconnect to the forum. No issue since them when coming back here. So I guess this only was transient issue, but please report here again if the same issue occurs again.

(as a new member of the forum, you are not allowed yet to upload images yet, this will become possible after you have made a few posts)

You have found a new bug that I was not aware of. Both of the door ornaments you mention (and no other door ornaments in the game), i.e. the "square grid" on the ...

The rules that apply for experience are described here: http://dmweb.free.fr/community/document ... -training/
Nothing more, nothing less.

So to answer your questions: there is no experience bonus if you injure yourself with a spell or hit a wall.

Have you confirmed recently that Gigglers can steal from your backpack in the Apple IIGS version? I'm pretty sure they can't and that you might have a false memory here. As I already replied here a few years ago, the source code tells that Gigglers cannot steal from the backpack in any version of ...

Thanks!

About saving: you could just build the saved game file in memory, then provide a link for the player to download it.
For loading, you can provide a button to upload as saved game and manipulate it in memory.
No need for an actual web server nor database, this can be done directly in the ...

I do get the error you mention in F12 dev tools.
In Edge, I had to select "Allow" for "Insecure content" under Privacy, search, and services / Site permissions / All sites / https://cycl0ne.codeberg.page/
Not something anyone should ever do... but now it works. This will definitely need a better fix ...

Your screenshot shows an option for third-party cookies. The forum does not use third-party cookies, so this option should make no difference.
Testing with other browsers might help you locate the issue.
If you get the same behavior with other browsers, then you may have some external app that ...

I tried https://cycl0ne.codeberg.page/pages/ in Edge, Chrome, Brave and Firefox.
The only thing I get is the "Loading, please wait" message...

The RTC project has been dead for so long, I believe you can safely post your findings.

Great, I'm happy to see ReDMCSB was useful for some new projects !

I don't have any issue either. I mostly use Edge (though I have Chrome, Brave & Firefox).
I just quickly checked in Chrome, I don't have any warning message.

The site uses apache2 configured to listen on both http 80 & https 443. There is an automatic redirection from http to https for any URL ...

Here is my late reply to your questions about kinetic energy, along with the ReDMCSB source code references.

Weapons have values named 'Kinetic Energy', 'Shoot damage' and 'Delta energy' that are used below.

Projectiles have a kinetic energy value (named "Range energy" for objects of type #14 in ...
