Nick's BIG DSB thread and Dungeon Re-Master

Hilo!
As you (the maybe 3 people reading this may know), I have recently taken a shine to DSB and decided to use it as a platform to remake Dungeon Master to my own tastes in DSB, under the working title "Dungeon Re-Master". I like DSB and I'm starting to get the hang of Lua so it makes sense to do it in this.
I intend to use this thread to post my updates, ask question, get feedback and anything else germane to the topic.
I fully intend to do this solo, but if anyone wishes to help, then feel free to chip in. Im not too bad at graphics and as I may have already said, Im a composer so music and SFX are not a problem at all.
Anyhoo, I've had some ideas (try many many) and I just want to throw these out quickly to see what you loverly people think, in terms of feasibility in DSB. I don't mind slogging it out myself, but I don't want to try something the engine is just not capable of doing. If you have already done something similar, please post code and or examples.
1. Multiple attack sounds for monsters, with DSB choosing one randomly.
2. Give monsters a "I've spotted you" sound. I remember opening doors in Doom and hearing that reverb-y grunt from those pink demons - I want that in DM for certain monsters, with others being silent stalkers.
3. Give monsters a "Runawaaaaaay" sound. Plays when monsters get feared by you.
4. Give monsters an ambient sound that moves with them. Like buzzing fly sounds around a mummy or zombie for example.
5. Adding a viewport shake effect to monsters moving. I want to make large things like golems and dragons more imposing.
I know from looking at monfulir's dungeons about the dsb_viewport_distort thingy and tested the different effects. Are these all hard coded? Can we make our own?
6. Is it possible to have a spell effect that spins the party or monsters randomly?
Here is how my current UI is looking, I've replaced most of the graphics
Fountain
Cheers!

@Sophia,
I thought taking the localtxt one step further would be in order (I needed to turn things to proper case instead of full caps) so I did this in my objects file:

Had to trawl the forum to find these - I was sure they existed, but the question is not answered fully in the thread a bit down below "Skip intro" so I thought I would post it again.
Add this to your startup.lua to skip the intro and the main screen to jump straight into game:
Code: Select all
function sys_game_intro()
return true
end
function sys_game_start(savegames)
return nil
end
I am/was/will use test dungeon from inside ESB, but sometimes (normally, well mostly, when I've done something wrong) the dungeon will error on startup and it totally breaks this function. Further attempts to test the dungeon from ESB will start DSB but it gets stuck on "Establishing connection with ESB" (If it helps the next line should be "initialising lua" if I am not mistaken).
I've searched for rogue processes and threads that have been made surrogate so I can terminate them, but I can't see anything that sticks out. Got no idea what dll's in com processes are still hanging about.
Cheers!

I can't post a full list quite yet, but I am compiling them.
Corrections and adjustments to graphics.
I noticed that the wall grate was off by a few pixels at certain distances so corrected it.
I made some adjustments to side views of graphics, and this is to recenter them on the wall - to my way of thinking, they are placed to far back on the block of wall.
Probably, by the end, if I ever get there, this list will be extensive.
Do with it as you will, just posting them here so it's out there
Added to my graphics lua

I like your new fountain, will be good to see it on a finished wall. One quick note about the shadow though: you've offset it to one side, but the light in DM is considered to come from the party, so shadows should be centred below, not off to one side.
Regarding your questions, I believe that #1 is already doable using a sound table (search the base files for how the player "oof" is handled). All the others are probably doable (except #5), but you'd likely need to override a lot of core functions which does become a bit of a pain. Sophia will be able to advise better.
Re: Nick's BIG DSB thread and Dungeon Re-Master
Posted: Wed Sep 02, 2020 11:35 pm

Multiple random attack sounds are already doable. Just pass a table instead of a single sound. For example:
Code: Select all
-- Make mummies sound much more interesting
obj.mummy.attack_sound = { snd.monster_haa, snd.monster_squeak, snd.monster_roar }
A spotting sound would need to be put into
ai_monster_investigate and that isn't the easiest function to modify; I've tried to avoid situations where copy-pasting huge chunks of the base code are necessary. I'll add a better hook to the base code and get back to you.
Playing a sound when the monster gets scared would cause a similar issue with
method_causefear so the solution is probably similar. This will also not be terribly difficult for me to add to the base code, so I'll do that.
Due to not wanting to have too many sound handles active at a time, there isn't an easy way to give monsters a persistent ambient sound. In addition,
dsb_3dsound currently doesn't support moving the 3d location of a sound that is already playing (though the underlying API of course does) so this isn't the easiest thing.
You can change the position of the viewport on the screen with
dsb_viewport, so rapidly and randomly moving it around can create a shaking effect.
Code: Select all
-- This code will put the viewport back where it belongs
dsb_viewport(gui_info.viewport.x, gui_info.viewport.y)
The current effects are all pretty low level and end up pushing around a lot of pixels so there's unfortunately no way I could make them accessible via Lua and get any sort of acceptable performance. If DSB used a modern graphics architecture then of course I could just let you write your own in GLSL or something, but that unfortunately isn't possible right now.
Definitely! You can rotate the party with
dsb_party_place and rotate monsters with
dsb_set_facedir. This may cause weirdness with rats and worms if they aren't centered, though.
DSB integration with ESB is very new and experimental. Back before that existed, skipping the intro and the front door was the only way to test your dungeon quickly. As for why it sometimes hangs when stuff breaks, like I said, new and experimental. If you can give me steps to reproduce an error condition then I will investigate.

Very creative, I'd never thought of that! DSB keeps on giving.
Regarding the title case for object items, you might be able to avoid all that and instead override the text rendering parts of various functions and filter the output through one of Lua's string functions. I do something similar in my own project, but it depends how comfortable you are about maintaining modified base code (which becomes a bit annoying each time DSB is updated).

Me again!
If I go quiet on the forums, I'm either A) Dead B)lost interest and buggered off to another game or C) Really busy getting on with work.
In this case C. So many GFX to change, and I keep doing them, and redoing them until I am happy with them.
Finally got a full base dungeon wall set I like. Tried 2 or 3, didn't work for me. This one though along with it's floor and ceiling is not bad. Its got the right graininess, flips well and I've gamma matched it fair close to the original DM.
I'm spending a fair bit of time on the wall ornaments to make use of alpha as much as possible and make them wall set agnostic (hopefully can be used on the upcoming walls I'l be doing.
Got 7 different coloured hazes going and icons in ESB to boot!
Was quite an experience getting a full wall set together, I had to tweak some of the coords on the doorframes as they didn't marry well with floor and ceiling.
@gambit - readjusted shadows on a host of things - it should all look like the source is emanating from the party now.
So, here is some stuff.
Cheers!

This is some great work, Automaton. I'm looking forward to seeing a finished product.
P.S. Any chance you'll consider adding a few 'new' modules to the DM world?
I don't know about others, but I would enjoy struggling through some new dungeon adventures, DM style.

Nice work!
Yep, wall sets are hard to do. I've started and junked many over the years. Very tricky to make it all look convincing in original DM resolution, even harder when it's 2x. My only feedback on the walls and floor would be to fade them to black faster, they seem too bright all the way to the back.

9/12 update
Thanks Gambit - I've now mapped light on the ceiling and floor to a half circle, perspective mapped onto the graphics as a screen overlay so it looks like this (btw walls not yet gamma corrected, thats a to do)
Pits, rusted square grate and black iron (new from me) grates finished. I decided that all the floor grates will be housed over pits to be a bit more immersive and I'm toying with the idea of having a fake grate that is actually a pit (don't worry , Im planning a few graphical clues for that)
Unlike the original DM grates - mine have a front and side 0 frame, so you can still see them when you step on them.
I still have 4 designs of grate to do, with the circular one in the pipe line. (anything to add mmersion and flavour I say!)
Heres my ESB - Im adding new icons for objects as I go, you can se a black grate and all the hazes
And here are my colour masks in gimp that help me position, place and tweak x,y positions in graphics.lua to make it all line up correctly
Cheers

Eyvenir I chose specifically because A) it looks rune-ish B) Some of the letters, you have to stop and think about before you realise what it is C) It "Feels" DM-ish.
I do have several other fonts that are dungeon wall items, but not sure if I will use them.
I was toying with the idea of having dwarfish and elvish fonts and the player having to use clues to decode them.
Like I said before, I have sooo many ideas, we'll see how many I can implement.

Some cool stuff there, nice work. I'm not a big fan of the new floor though, it doesn't really fit the walls and the repeating pattern is very obvious. Your previous floor is much better. I'd also shorten the shadow under the mirror: your shadow makes it appear that the mirror is a very deep box mounted on the wall. Since it's just a shallow wooden frame, the shadow should be equally shallow.

Update 21-09
I have been pondering the monsters for some time as well as testing theories and ideas.
Should I remake the original DM graphics but better? If so how? Redraw them from hand? import the side and front into blender and recreate, retexture and relight them in 3D? All possible for me, I know photoshop, illustrator, gimp, inkscape, blender pretty well, but it's all about the time and effort.
There is also some "Cheats". I do plan on reusing (as well as updating) some of MONFULIR's work, but I believe most of his monster graphics came from the eye of the beholder series.
Textures and items I can grab random images off the net and do pretty cool stuff. A gold plaque texture here, a few layers of overlays there and a nice runic emblem in linear burn mode and voila a RA keyhole:
Then there are a few loverly gems like this sheet, offered for free by the guy doing the LOGR graphics specifically for a DM remake:
Also, there is the fab, sketchfab (
https://sketchfab.com/lethanavir/collec ... eval-props) that has 1000's of free pretextured 3d models that you can preview and spin on the webpage (yes, I've already just grabbed screenshots and used them)
Anyhow, back to monsters. What I don't want is blurred, linear, cubic, halo smeared shit. I'm looking for evolution of DM-ness.
After fiddling with A LOT of gimp modules, plugins and filters, I came up with this method and decided to use the SNES mobs (not all of them though, some of the original are better suited, but need more work). Here is the methodology, let me know what you think!
Original:
Recoloured to my own taste:
GMIC upscale x2 in ycbcr mode (This specific upscale works best on indexed images and is by far the best for upscaling pixelart and I've tried loads with loads of settings):
Rogue black and white pixels tamed & corrections to details:
A little bit of magic - GMIC add grain. this plug has several kodak presets and does really well at reinjecting pixel graininess into smoothed or low tone count images:
Airbrushed shadows set to luma darken mode eventually:
Shadow layer & art together:
GMIC Antialiasing applied to just a 2 pixel border around the edge:
Perspective shadow added (well 2 actually with bits deleted in between):
In the dungeon:
Screamer and mummy with the same method (The mummy I hue shifted to make the bandages look a bit dirty):
Cheers!

Over the years tinkering with RTC and DSB, I did all the same visual experiments as you
The only real conclusion I came to is that it doesn't really matter what methods you use, the key is to be make sure all your final graphics share a consistent style.
If you're able to use Blender, personally I'd go down that route -- do everything in 3D and render out everything with the same lighting and perspective. You'd have an amazing version of DM if you did that. But as you know, it takes a lot of talent and a looooooooong time. When I still had a lot of free time years ago, it was a project I really wanted to do, but as my free time got less and less, I knew I'd never be able to finish the entire thing using 3D renders, which is why I chose to stick with low-res 320x240 style images.

For the left one, 1 type does nothing (small food value), 1 poisons you and the last randomly adjusts (temporarily) one of your stats by -10 to +10
For the right one, 1 does nothing, 1 sets your health, stamina and mana to full and the last sets your health, stamina and mana to a random of the same current bar.

Help! My brain is melting!
So I was redoing all the gfx for potions and I went off on a bit of a tangent
Well, here are some potions.
Anyhow, I placed the Zo and Sar potions into the game, gave them spells to make them and gfx and whatnot and I tried to think of cool effects to give them. Aha, I thought, some heal over time sounds good. So I gave it to the Zo potion.
I basically set up a new condition called regen, took all the poisoning code, copied it and just used a + instead of a - when adding to health (still got to tweak the power of this).
The problem is that it calls dsb_damage_popup, which is working - it seems like you are taking 7 damage from the damage graphic overlay, but it's actually positive.
I created the GFX to do a heal_popup, found some code in
render.lua that seems to be the what I want (albeit the inverse), but I can't seem to make it do what I want.
Code: Select all
-- Render the damage taken by a character
function sys_render_character_damage(bmp, ppos, who, is_dead, in_inv, damage_type, damage_val)
local damage_image
-- Graphics coordinates
local xc = 0
local yc = 0
--Text coordinates
local txc = 0
local tyc = 0
if (in_inv) then
damage_image = gfx.damage_full
xc = 14
txc = 48
tyc = 24
else
damage_image = gfx.damage_bar
txc = 44
tyc = 2
end
local dwidth = dsb_bitmap_width(damage_image)
local dheight = math.floor(dsb_bitmap_height(damage_image) / 3)
dsb_bitmap_draw(damage_image, bmp, 0, damage_type * dheight, xc, yc, dwidth, dheight, false)
dsb_bitmap_textout(bmp, sys_font, damage_val, txc, tyc, CENTER, {255,255,255} )
end
I understand how dsb_bitmap_draw and dsb_bitmap_textout work, but the destination value being passed "bmp" I can't work out how to make this be the affected character.
TLDR How do I make an equivalent "dsb_heal_popup"?
Extras!
I liked reversing the poison so much to make a regen, I added code for 2 new monster conditions - "disease" and "drain"
disease ticks slower than poison and has no heal available as yet and does:
Code: Select all
function disease_func(who, str)
if (dsb_char_ppos(who) == nil) then
return str
end
local dis_dmg = math.floor(str/32)
if (dis_dmg < 1) then dis_dmg = 1 end
damage_char(who, STAMINA, dis_dmg, true)
dsb_set_food(who, dsb_get_food(who) - (dis_dmg*2))
dsb_set_water(who, dsb_get_water(who) - (dis_dmg*2))
dsb_set_stat(who, STAT_VIT, dsb_get_stat(who, STAT_VIT) - (dis_dmg*2))
if (str > 90) then
str = str - 1
end
return(str-1)
end
drain is a mana drain(poison) and wis debuff
Code: Select all
function drained_func(who, str)
if (dsb_char_ppos(who) == nil) then
return str
end
local drain_dmg = math.floor(str/32)
if (drain_dmg < 1) then drain_dmg = 1 end
damage_char(who, MANA, drain_dmg, true)
dsb_set_stat(who, STAT_WIS, dsb_get_stat(who, STAT_WIS) - (drain_dmg*2))
if (str > 90) then
str = str - 1
end
return(str-1)
end
I also changed the UI to show whats what
This kind of came about due to browsing through examples from monfulir, the test dungeon from Sophia and kaypy's libraries. The psychic demon example had mana damage and I saw from the damage bubble GFX that it was possible for stamina too and I wanted to make use of them.
Anyhow - if you can help - please do!

Sophia,
I think I may be doing new conditions wrong (as in I recreated the table with all the old entries and added my own). I did see info on the wiki about dsb_add_condition and dsb_replace_condition and monfulir's examples seem to use them, but the wiki says "Deprecated" after both functions. Are they to be used or no?
what is the correct way to add new conditions?

If you are tweaking ESB, then one thing I found useful once you get to serious dungeon building is separately marking buttons and keyholes vs the other wall objects
...
I think that sys_render_character_damage just prepares the image for rendering that actually occurs on the engine-side, so it wont help you actually place the image.

(edit window timed out)
rhelper.c\call_lua_damage_renderer would be where things happen. Which I think means its not something you are going to be able to do from the lua side. (You probably aren't going to be able to modify it, but you may want to grab the DSB c source just so you can check this sort of thing)
