DMJava V2.1 by Solito : a real clone now

[solito]

Patch 2.1-7 added :
*Sight range of monsters never drop below 1 square even in total darkness
*This way, Screamers should no longer camp when light decreases

[Roquen]

Ages ago I hacked up a previous version of yours. Maybe you can get some useful stuff from it. Here's a link: http://www.filedropper.com/dmjava

[solito]

I cannot read/extract the file you provided...

[Roquen]

It's a 7-zip file. Assuming it isn't corrupted, then you can get a decompressor here: http://www.7-zip.org/

[solito]

Patch 2.2-8 added :
Version is now 2.2:
*All dungeon map and saved file must be opened and saved with the editor.
*All dungeon map for download ( http://solito.free.fr/games/dmjava/ ) are already patched to v2.2.

'Detect Curse' and 'Slow' counters are now saved properly.

[solito]

Patch 2.2-9 added :
*DMJava spells 'weaken', 'slow', 'strip defense', 'feeble mind' and 'silence' can now pass through grate doors

patch 2.2-10 added:
*IMPORTANT bug fix that caused a saved game to be unreadable due to fountain sound
*some minor adjustments

http://solito.free.fr/games/dmjava/v2.1/#download

I released my version 2.1 a bit too fast so there are still some adjustments to make and a few bugs to fix but nothing big really.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

[solito]

patch 2.2-11 added:
*bug fix: Refresh screen when items are teleported near party
*Function that determines shooting distance has been improved so higher skilled/dexterity ninjas deal more damage with bows or slings (may need adjustments)
*Display poison damage inflicted to monsters instead of the 1 damage impact with the DES VEN spell when 'show damage' is on

patch 2.2-12 added:
*Fireshield potion (zo ir dain) now boosts the anti-fire stat (with a cap to the highest potion power) [DMJava only]
*Spellshield potion (zo ir ra) now boosts the anti-magic stat (with a cap to the highest potion power) [DMJava only]
*Monster awarness: if a monster cannot see the party but the party is in its awareness range, there is a small chance the monster will detect and turn towards the party
*Skill mastery AND Wisdom are both computed into making potions (Wisdom was not before) [DMJava only]
(I remind that these spell adjustments affect only the DMJava rules [DM and CSB rules are and should remain faithfull to the CSBWin code])

[solito]

patch 2.2-13 added:
*Monster default images are no longer set to be GIFs or PNGs, there are now hard coded with suffix name only: the system will look for PNGs first then GIFs
(You can now alter a monster by adding/removing PNG images into the Monsters directory without removing original GIFs)
*The Beholder (Wizard Eye) is now available in PNG format as the original (unzip and copy into 'Monsters' dir)
*Food can always be placed into Chest and Pouch (Hard Coded) even if omitted in the Editor (Some food in my CSB21.dat were not patched properly)

[solito]

patch 2.2-14 added:
*Fix a bug that caused the editor to ignore altered item stats
*Removed code that allows Food to be always put into Pouch and Chest (see patch2_2-13 about this)
*As before patch2_2-13, food may not be held into Chest or Pouch on purpose

[solito]

patch 2.2-15 added:
*Fix the Fear duration of monsters
*Fix a bug that caused the editor to display all chests when searching for altered item stats
*Fix a bug that caused the editor to ignore altered item stats from party from a saved game

[Adamo]

WOW... it looks fantastic solito!

*Fix a bug I created in patch 2.2-16
*Added some graphic enhancements for Teleports, Fluxcages, VI-Altar, DoorTrack. (they can now be PNG or GIF: the system looks for PNGs first and if not found, for GIFs)
PNG are much better for animated stuff like this.

Solito website updated:
Display time and size of files available for download.
It is easier to see what was added recently.

patch 2.2-18 added:
*Fix a bug concerning custom monsters (the Sight Range was not saved properly).
*Import custom Monsters or custom Items will import the monster or item ONLY if it does not exit (so when importing several times your custom stuff, you don't end up with many duplicates)

Hi,

Like your update, However........
I find that when I save on level 2 of Chaos Strikes Back, that the file is corrupted. When I save on level 1 the file is ok.
It will load into the editor but not into the game itself.
I am using java jdk 1.5.0_16.

[solito]

There is a new version with the default power gem and this bug is also fixed.
I just need to make more tests and make it available for download.
I will post a message here when ready.
(you can subscribe to this thread to be informed)
Thank you.

Hi,

I download your new version, but I am not able to run the game.
I click on dmnew.bat, but nothing happens...

Can someone help me?

Thanks

[syrphid001]

Firstly if your installation is like mine, then you will have to go into the DMJ-Solito-v2 directory, inside which is another DMJ-Solito-v2 directory. In this one will be the complete program.
You need to make a short-cut to dmnew.bat.
Right click and click properties.
In Target you need something like the following:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_16\bin\javaw.exe" -cp . dmnew".
Obviously you will have to use your own path to your Java installation.
You will need to do the same with the dmedit.bat.

[solito]

New Version v2.6 is available now!

[Kelly]

Very Nice Solito. Grabbed the download now, just waiting for it to finish. Really excellent work, look forward to working on the graphical side.

Hi, I have finished a dungeon and I'm currently testing it... but, when I save a game, and want to restart later, it say "unable to load game" ..
Did someone have some idea why and how to "repair" that ?

Thanks.

[solito]

Somebody has told me that already but It works fine with my version so I don't know what's going on...

Can you send me by email these log files located in the 'log' directory:
editor_loadmap.log
loadmap.log
loadgame.log

I'll try to figure out what's wrong.
Thx !
