Dungeon Master Forum

I saw with the RTC dungeons and the test dungeon for DMute a very simple .txt coding. In there I saw restrict save, which is what I want to do on one of my dungeons for the original dungeon. Yes I want it to be the original Dungeon Master, I know it's easy to get this in RTC, but I want in Dungeon.dat format. Does anybody know how I can get to this simple code, or restrict saving?
Thanks

You can't restrict the original dungeon.dat files from people looking, sorry!
There used to be a trick when DMute v1.3 was around, but it will be useless against DMBuild and CSBuild . You can convert the PC DM to Atari format by using CSBuild and play through CSBwin - this is using the original engine with bits bolted on, so isn't a massive shift.

Beo, not looking, saving in it. It is my guest prieview, I don't want bratty friends to save their game in there.

the closeset to doing this in orriginal DM is likley through CSBwin if you can ask to have that feature added.. and if it's possible to add it. RTC has a lot of abilities because it was coded from scratch. Chances are *if* it can be done in CSBWin.. it's not likley "simple"

but I've been known to be wrong before.

moo

With CSBwin you can already switch on/off the savegame feature with a DSA.

as I said.. not likley "simple"

Boy! When youse guys decide you cannot learn
something.......that's the end of it.

The DSA would look like this:

Can I make it so that it starts in DM orig but then runs over to CSBWin when we enter the dungeon or something like that? The reason is, I want the same startup screens:
SWOOSH: FTL, Dungeon (writing) Master.
Not:
Presents
Dungeon
Master
cya

CSBWin and RTC are entirely different games programmed by different people! It would be like saying "Can I run the intro to Tomb Raider and then switch to Unreal Tournament?" Come on, don't be daft.

I was looking for CSBWin and Dungoen Master PC34, not RTC! Unless I checked what time it is over where you are wrong, you shouldn't be sleeping!

Ah, when you said "DM orig" I thought you meant the "DM original" dunegon that comes with RTC. Either way, it's still trying to get two completely unrelated programs working together which is unlilkely to ever happen. You'd be better off asking Paul Stevens to add the FTL animation into CSBWin.

ok well then please reffer to my other quote "but I've been known to be wrong before."

Had no idea it would be that simple. from previous descriptions between you and ZYX talking about it I saw what looked to me like bits of code and ascii values or something.. bad assumtion that it would all look like that.

Also I had a strange problem:
here's the DSA code:
L4 L149640 LB OP8 &ADD

moo

Gambit, I see why your understanding was sleeping
Cow, what is ascii and ascii values?

better off asking Paul Stevens to add the FTL animation into CSBWin

Better off, perhaps. But some numbers greater than
zero are less than any possible positive number.
'*' is one example. See Berlekamp, et. al., 'Wining Ways',
Academic Press, 1982.

Another example is your probability of getting me
to code the Swoosh.

to code the swoosh, you say...
and the Dungeon already there, write the Master.
And what is "erlekamp et(you saying and?) al(you saying all?) 'Wining Ways' Academic Press, 1982."

www.google.com is your best friend.. for both of those questions you can type it into google and find the answers you seek

The pretty pink pills can let you see the swoosh without bothing Mr Stevens though, or even needing to start up the programme

Beo, what do you mean by...
-pretty pink pills
-without bothing

pretty pink pills - mentioned in another thread..drugs are good...
bothing - very bad typing for 'bothering'

ok, I'll check those and translate what your talking about...see ya later.

actually, I couldn't find it. Is pretty pink pills the subject?

Lol, don't worry about it - pretty pink pills just sounds like some unknown strange drugs.

@ADDF_Toxic: Don't take Beowuuf so seriously -- you'll discover that he (and most of the rest of us) throw random nonsense into our conversations. Some of it relates to popular culture, but some of it is simply gibberish.

Most of Beowuuf's stuff is the latter.

You haven't seen the famous Amish cartoon series Percy, the Penguin and the Pretty Pink Pills? Man, what culture have you been living with!

No, he's right, it is pretty much gibberish - but without typos this time : )

No I haven't, I barely ever watch TV. So what do you mean by Pretty Pink Pills?

And holy posts! Just funny how I have 48 and you have 5073, Beowuuf, way much more! That wasn't very good grammar, was it?

See yah

Oh dear.....

Beowuuf *is being sarcastic*. It's a trait often peculiar to Brits and is often difficult to perceive in written text.

There are no Pretty Pink Pills!

I prefer to think of it as being random... please ignore this thread and enjoy the less random forum posts : )

I also cannopt tell is someone is being sarcastic themselves...I have one friend who is evilly good at it...

Can you please translate Pretty Pink Pills so I can understand what you meant back there please?
Thank you

You are kidding right?

It's a joke. Beowuuf is saying that drugs (pretty pink pills) will make your head so screwed you'll see a "swoosh" without needing to play DM. Make sense now?

Oh, I see.
