Dungeon Master Forum

This is a little bit of fun for all that maybe interested.
I made a maze using Dungeon Master wall textures in "The Game Factory 2"
To see if I could recreate the game to a limited extent.
No monsters or doors just a maze.
Works quit well, download and have a play

Included:-
The maze demo install
Also the source code (to load into GF2)

Hopefully someone may have the time and inclination to take this further.

Wow!

I've "finished" the little maze - and it looks AmaZing! Well done! It gives a very good DM feeling.

I've never heard of The Games Factory, and I'll have to look at it closer when I have some time. How hard was it to build such a maze? And moreover, are there possibilities of adding other things like doors, items, creatures, triggers, actuators, etc. - I mean building a whole Dungeon Master game? I've downloaded TGF2 and looked into it briefly, but didn't understand anything.

Nice to hear you like it.

are there possibilities of adding other things like doors, items, creatures, triggers, actuators, etc.

The short anwser is yes you could. For instance make a monster image (as an active object), when a detection icon is over a marker (you would also have to make ) in the map show the monster as the player gets closer the moster image is changed for a larger one etc...

If you want to change the maze layout :-
in the frame editor (Ctrl+M)
set the Grid (to help positioning)
View\Grid Setup\ size width 16 hight 16
View\Grid Setup\ Snip to Grid (x)
View\Grid Setup\ View Grid (x)

Then try dragging a wall block (in the map view) in front of the player
( You will have to move the gray wall hider panel to see the map underneath )

and run to test (F8)

Hope this helps

OK, thanks. Don't have time to do it now, though.

Hmmm, inserting an image of a monster is one thing, but implementing a behaviour of the monster is another - not talking about actions. I'm not sure if you can do all this in TGF2, but - go ahead! Try to put some more things in your little maze! There's a lot of work for you there!

Ahh, and welcome to the forums!
