Dungeon Master Forum

Hi,
A switch on level 11(or12?) with the spiders, is not working. I am unable to get to the area with the 3 gates which open to the spiders. I was there once but now the open-able wall stays closed, although spiders seam to get through. Is there a way to get the switch working properly or to get through the wall?
Thanks.

Hmmm. That sounds like a dungeon bug. Have you looked at that area in the RTC editor -- is the switch set to Toggle and has a repeatable action or does it Disable Self?

The area's not essential for completing the game though. It's just "extras".

Welcome to the forums, by the way!

Thanks for all that. Never used the editor could you give me some pointers as to how to get started etc. thanks!

Just load RTCeditor.exe in your RTC folder, then browse to your Modules folder to open the TXT file for a supplied dungeon. Once it's open, you can see how it all works... Learn by experimenting, it's the best way...

Welcome to a whole new world!

Thanks, whilst awaiting you reply I did just that but,the changes do not seem to effect the save games. Do I need to apply it to them in some way.

No, you can't change a saved game unfortunately. Did you see if the trigger for that wall has a bug? If it did, and you've corrected it and saved it, it will only show up once you compile the new RTC file from that TXT file -- so you'd have to play the entire dungeon again...

Thanks again I'm sorry to hear that. Yes I did find a bug, although the switch was set to toggle it was also set to disable self. I re downloaded rtc and the bug was not there! I know it's not essential is there a cheat to get through the wall please?

None I'm afraid, no one has cracked the .sv file so you can't alter it

All you could do is edit a new game to give you the same same characters and possessions, and teleport you to the same position

Do you mind if I ask an unrelated question? Whilst trawling the forum I read somewhere, I can't find it again, that shields have no effect! Is this correct? Is it not worth while having one?

It's this thread here - http://www.dungeon-master.com/forum/vie ... 28&t=28014
And yes, I would say that it more or less is correct - keep a hand free for something that you actually can use properly, like a flask .

Sounds like you were using a much earlier version of RTC?
