Patch 2.11 ready for download

Sorry for some minor bugs left in 2.11...

Patch 2.12 ready for download
(because version has changed, default dungeon maps are provided again)

Excellent! Thanks for this Solito.....

Pleasure!

I'm still working on improving some features but unfortunately always find a few bugs hidden here and there...
Anyway, I added some very nice new features (and fixed a few bugs too:)

A new patch is available 2.12-1 (same version).

Cheers.

2.12-2

...

2.12-3
Editor theme configuration added
+ a minor bug fix: mouse right-click on portrait can now edit an hero skills.

2.12-4 available.

More sounds added and an easy way to choose default sounds for custom items.

You've been a busy bee Solito...Good stuff.

Haha yes, I was trying to load and patch older map versions and then realized that some bugs were well hidden.
Also after making some diablo1 items (like 'reduce light radius' or 'increase attack speed'), the current version couldn't handle negative values for illumulet or light duration, etc...

It's now possible to have items that do the opposite of Illumulet or Gem of Ages.

So here is a new patch with a demo map: 2.12-5

Thanks.

I made a new file to download containing all the latest changes.

don't stop solito. i admire your efforts, very nice indeed.

Thank you Chaos Shaman.
Although I'm surprised nobody noticed that multifloor switches using 'Item only' don't work anymore in the latest version.
That causes some of the important mechanisms in Dungeon Master AND Chaos Strikes Back (as well as the extended version) not to work.

Bug fix available for download.

Do you have then available, or packed in the download? THey aren't available separately anymore!

Sadly I download the new packs (Except for the last one, funnily), but don't have the time right now to play around with it that much Things stacking up

The maps themselves are fine, but the bug of the v2.12 prevented some triggers to work properly.

The latest maps (as well as demo maps) are in the new pack, so all the maps are fine, you just need to download the latest bug fix which is just 1 java class only (about 30kb)

when i get the time, i am gonna really give this a go, it looks fantastic, continue the great efforts solito!

I'm embarrassed that I completely missed which dungeons were available

Hi !

A new patch is available.
dungeon master extended map bug fixed.

=DOUBLE POST=

Hi Solito,

first of all i have to really thank you for your effort on the dmj project to come up with a real dm clone.
i looked so long for this (i used to run an atari emulator + dm and csb roms), but i have some problems running it.
i've downloaded the zip from here http://solito.free.fr/games/dmjava/v2.10/#download
the v2.12, exctracted and runned but it just stops at the first blue screen with a black rectangle on the left.
The editor runs well, tho.
I saw i should download the patch2.12-6.rar but there is no link, could be this the root of the problem?
Thank you in advance for you amazing work and your time for reply to me.

Hi,

The link to the latest patch is now clickable.
Unfortunatly this patch will probably not solve the blue screen problem (I have not experienced such problem so far)
Maybe an incompatible java version?

Hello,

I have the same problem as Gaaroth, the empty blue screen and the black area on the left.

I'm running this java version: "1.7.0_25" on Linux. I run it with this command: "java -Xmx500m -Xms500m
-cp . dmnew"

I tried with and without the patch, and it's the same.

The 2.6 version is running fine (using the same command as above), except for the editor (the original one, by Alan, is still working). Just the dungeon is not available, because in the Dungeon folder, it is named "DungeonMaster.dat", and the program expect it to be named "dungeonmaster.dat" (with lower case), on some case sensitive system (such as Linux, and maybe Mac os x too) it can make a difference. It's easy to fix by renaming it.

Also the heroes portraits are not available at first, for the same reason (it's for ex. IAIDO.GIF but I can't find which file to change it just seems it doesn't work when I rename it).



Thank you for your work on this amazing program! Now it really looks better than ever.

Thank you for your feed back.
I will look at the code ASAP and keep you posted...

if you need more tests, I can do them.

For the editor, I get those errors :

/tmp/jre1.7.0_25/bin/java -cp
. DMEditor
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

I also found the 7.21 release of java there: http://uni-smr.ac.ru/archive/dev/java/JRE/oracle/7/
And it's the same errors for the editor, and same blue (background) screen, with the black area on the left.

Also I don't have javaw on linux, only java in the available executables. And I can't pass this ".;*" parameter, only the single dot: .


[edit] I've downloaded the java 7.21 version for windows, and tried it in a virtual machine, and I got the same error with the blue screen, using the full command in the batch you provided.

There is no bugs, everything works fine.
Please go to my website for instructions.

Let me know how it goes.
Thank you.
