Story :
Same as Dungeon Master 2

Aim :
Get rid of Lord Chaos. You'll be given firestaff to do so when you enter the zo-link gate.

Notes ...

Cheese & meat would spoil alot quicker than corn, or bread so that would be a good idea about diffrent decay rates.

Quite the other way around actually. Fresh produce is hard to keep from spoiling, especially in places like a damp dungeon, so corn and apples would go out pretty quickly. Same goes ...

Sorry, got waylaid by RL problems, so no progress since June. I'll be continuing work soon as soon as my recent Spore addiction wanes...

Any better?

Not really, no, IMO.

It looks like what it is, a crappy resample with a blur applied.

For comparison here's what the algorithms that at least try to not simply make the image blurry look like with DM (snes emulator because it comes with said filters):

Simple 3x scaling for ...

I've been making some new graphics and encountered a need that isn't filled by one of the existing size groups for wall items, so I tried to change one of them into completely new sizes.

However, while I can manage to get the center front bitmap to work, I can't figure out how to set the further ...

There already are good (well, better than the screenshots shown :lol:) algorithms to "smooth" low res graphics, such as Mame2X, advanced Mame, Super SAI, Super Eagle, etc.

My favourite is the Super2xSAI, but I don't like it for all games, just a select few where it works really well.

hqNx seems to ...

Lots of ways
to add a bug to the code if we
attempt anything complicated.

It appears that we've managed to do just that.

I was testing in a dungeon without any DSAs for damages done by thrown and shot objects, and it seems we've rendered monsters invulnerable to projectiles... :P

Both ...

Absolutely stellar! Thank you very much

Here's a simplified version and the playfile.

Basically, what happens at the screamer is what should happen in all test cases marked so.

Of course, I'm not averse to having a trigger even in the cases where the ful bomb is non ...

I've had a play with it now, and it seems to fit the bill exactly (well, after it's been extended to all encounters, right now my bomb explodes only on impact with the monsters, but that part is working very nicely already )

What killed the Chaos Knight's trusted serjeant? Too much wine? Or maybe something else...

Find out when Balance arrives, sometime this Summer...

Grabbed the new version, thanks...

I tried to use the &OBJECTID opcode mentioned in this reference , but when I entered a program using it, the DSA editor in CSBuild just told me to fix my program with &OBJECTID being the first highlighted word. It's also not mentioned in the "Help" language reference accessible from that dialog ...

Would that fire also with walls, doors and whatever else a thrown thing can hit? If so, I'd love to have it. If not, it does only half of what I need :/

I thinking more than that - he sticks the fighters in the bavk row with da spells and the mages i da front row with da shiny weapons

Aye, that's exactly right.

does he cross dress them as well?!

Yes, I do... :lol:

(I swap the armour to the mages and light clothes to the fighters while they ...

Is there some way to get a DSA to fire when an object you've thrown hits something? I tried looking at the filter documentation but couldn't find a suitable one.

Specifically I'd like to implement a new type of bomb potion.

I can see one way of implementing that, but it's so much work for both me ...

Forget I said anything about shops.... :roll:

http://viila.lethalcode.net/~tylisirn/money.png

Well, okay, maybe not everything I said... The shops are fun, but they're way too cheap. You run out of things worth buying in the first couple hours of play, even if you don't farm enemies, and after ...

That's possible if it has the same feature/oversight as original DM. The pressurepad that triggers the lock-down is triggered only if you carry the Firestaff over it. It can be circumvented by throwing it out of the room. It's located right before the door that leads out from the room with the Power ...

While not something I've found as such (seeing as I've made them myself) here's a couple neat videos if you like fractals:

Empty cells seem to work as expected now with bits 2^19 an 2^31 set. Thank you very much.

I tried to use &THISCELL, but no matter what combination of bits I set, I can't seem to get it to work as intended.

Expected was that setting bits 19 and 31 (2148007936) according to docs , would return TRUE for empty cell with nothing on it, but it always returned FALSE.

Likewise, I set all bits ...

Ok, since no one seemed to have better ideas, I bit the bullet and installed whole of VB Express which took bloody ages, but the file open dialog finally works and I can edit the file again. Yay!

I can't seem to get ADGE (any version I have) to work in Vista 64-bit...

ADGE 4b and 4b_2x complained about lack of FM20.DLL, after getting and registering said DLL, they bail out with Run-time error '7': Out of memory when started... Or then it's gotten really memory hungry when 4 GB physical RAM ...

I'm probably the only one who liked the half-step :P
My only gripe about it was that it was implemented the "wrong way", since it zoomed in to the original view instead of using the next view for the zoom.
You'd get better quality.

Anyway, for the main list:

I wonder if this fits with the authors' "intent" or if it was merely the fact that memory was tight in DM so they re-used a des ew cloud for a fuse effect rather than create a new cloud type that is only used once in the whole game.

Has to be, since the Zo spell shares the shares the same cloud ...
