DM Rules!

Post by Guest »

I just want to say, i played Dungeon Master on my Amiga 500 back when the game was released - must have been about 1990 as i got my amiga in 1989. I could not get enough of the game. I played it for months on end, for hours and hours at a time. Im replaying it now on WINUAE and its awesome. Absolutely awesome!

Where are the guys from FTL now - why arent they making more DM!

Sadly after DMII the team seem to have broken up. A shame really since DM2 had that "Still have a badass schwarzcharacter to kill" ending. I'm sure there would be a DM2.5... but yeah. The game engine itself was obsolete and there wasn't any intrest in making a sequel.

Right now we have to depend on fans with programming skills to give us more DM goodness.

You don't even need programming skills - the editors are so good that anyone can knock together a little (or big) dungeon.

Suule, have you played other customs? They`re also very good, especially Conflux.

Po za tym sam się męczę nad swoją wersją CSB na edytorze SCbuild (docelowo- niestety tylko 11 poziomów). Jest trochę "ciężki" w użyciu, ale ma ten plus, że CSBwin chodzi bardzo szybko, w przeciwieństwie do RTC, który jednak ma znacznie lepszy edytor. Pozdro!

Some people (like me) are just too ambitious... ;)

Yeah. Currently I'm starting Conflux II for the eight time... after I f***ed up 7 times already. (To make everything harder I'm using one slot per game). I've also started 'Black Flame' and I'm procceding nicely.

Ja tez sie poce nad swoim dungeonem... 3-4 dni zajelo mi uporanie sie z graphics.datem. Teraz siluje sie z DSAmi. RTC ma wygodniejszy edytor ale gra jest trudniejsza... cos za cos.

Wiesz... ja tam programuje wlasnego Dungeon Master'a dwojke w wolnym czasie - cos ala RTC (bo w reverse engineering jestem slaby. Moze wyjdzie z tego DM 2.5.

BTW: Z jakiego miasta jestes?[/quote]

Poznań.
Chyba jest tu edytor do DMII gdzieś na tej stronie. Możesz tam zrobić wszystko, co było wykorzystane w DMII - to chyba ma ten sam engine. Ja osobicie wolę CSB.
Widzę, że to, co Tobie zajmuje 3-4 dni, mnie zajmuje 3-4 miesiące, a pracowałem ostro... :shock:
Rozumiesz te cholerne DSA? Ja próbowałem coś z tego zrozumieć, ale szybko spasowałem. Pogadamy kiedyś na flashchacie? Nareszcie ktoś, kto mówi ludzkim językiem! :D bo z moim angielskim nie jest najlepiej - trudno mi nawet zrozumieć niektóre posty i przy odpisywaniu siedzę ze słownikiem :P

Potrzebuję DSA głównie po to, żeby zmienić ciężar i właściwości niektórych obiektów (muszę to zrobić, bo nieźle namieszałem w graphics.dat).

[I need DSA mainly because I have to change weight and values of some objects (I have to do this, because have I messed up a lot in graphics.dat)]

You can't change weights with DSAs, just the appearance of the weight reported during the game - you still need ADGE to actually alter item properties. Other properties you can't change, but you can simulate or bypass.

For the new dungeon maker, wanting a few new things in the dungeon after basic editiong, ADGE is the 1st step.

Working with ADGE is sometimes like waltzing through a minefield... If you don't save often all you can do is scream NOOOOOOOOO! and watch your hard work going down the drain.

Well, thats never happened to me, and I have used it extensively. OK, once, but that was my silly fault. ADGE is almost perfect in its concept.

Unfortunately for me it happend to me few times and it didn't felt good (Lost all changes in the monster data). I'm more cautious now.
