Dungeon Master Forum

I just found this game online. I used to play it all the time when i was a kid and i recently downloaded RTC and absolutely love it. I havn't played chaos strikes back in years. I Just need a little bit of help. I'm not good at editing and programming and things like that but i'd really like to edit a the DM dungeon so that my characters have the starting stats that i had when i played this years ago. Now I read the editing tool that comes with the download and edited my dungeon so that it is in the text document. I also did this with DMUTE and ported it to RTC but I don't understand where i should type the Compile Module\New\DMOLD (that is my dungeon name) i tried on the configure text that is in the RTC folder in a few spots and it comes up when i start RTC that it cant access it and shuts down in 10 seconds. I understand that it is tabs not spaces in between also. Can somebody help a naive programming guy out please. I'd appreciate it. Thanks

it is the config.txt file in the root of your RTC directory you need to put it, and it can be placed anywhere
you need to state 'DMOLD.txt' though, not jsut the dungeon name, and perhaps / rather than \

be careful : NO space characters in config.txt
COMPILE<tab>\modules\new\dmold.txt

If it's shutting down after 10 secs that means a critical error of some sort -- which doesn't surprise me if you've used DMute to create a TXT file for RTC -- those files don't "just work" -- you need to manually tweak them *a lot* to fix all the discrepancies that get thrown up. Also, DMute does not generate files that are compatible with the latest versions of RTC -- you need to add some extra stuff to the TXT file for that.

I'd suggest you try this on one of the TXT files that comes with the game before fiddling with other stuff. You'll probably want to read these forums in more detail to understand the file formats better too.
