Dungeon Master Forum

Okay, thank you for the quick reply, ChristopheF.

There is a MS-DOS shortcut in the accessories folder (also a desktop shortcut) entitled "DOS Mode Games - EMS" that I use to quickly access DOS mode. Sure, I have to type in the actual command to change directory, but I don't have to head back to drive "Z:\" to re-mount in order ...

Question: Does a confirmed delete request count as a post, or does it have no effect on the post count? Theory (not confirmed as truth): It wouldn't count as a post, because it is no longer readable in the forum. From the somewhat inquisitive, Jay. P. S. Just noticed that I had 62 posts. I notice a ...

I only ever knew a Win 95+ back in my da... erm, when I was younger. It HAD a little over one GB of hard disk space. It now has 6 GB, but it doesn't register all of it. I always liked the fact that I could go to DOS on command, without going to something like DOSBox. My family has had it almost as l...

Anyone thinking a quarter century is 'long ago' is a youngster.

Paul, as of this post, I am not quite a double-decade and a half old. So a quarter century is beyond my time.

Greetings, Margarette. I hope you find whatever you need on this forum.

If by tile transition do you mean something like the DM2 half-step, then I like it. If not, then please explain tile transition to me.

No longer doing many sign-offs,
Jay.

A bit off topic here,but I don't think helmets made any real difference against the doors in Dungeon Master 2. I also noticed that the overhead doors did more damage than the doors that opened for the side if they tried to close on you.

I tend to notice a considerable lack of DM2 PC dungeons. There is only one in the entire list. May I ask why this is?

A nagging question from
Jay.

Sometimes I try and do a "suicide run" and get through the game using starting armour only (I usually fail). I do this to save my load (and space) for weaponry and other miscellaneous items, like keys or food (I tend to use only one character).

At least the currency system makes sense in Earthbound. You don't receive any dough (unless it's a bread roll or a cookie or the like) from foes directly. Instead, your unseen dad deposits what he makes from the "bounty" of your "kills" into your bank account. You can then withdr...

It also does not display spell damage, even at point-blank range. Nor does the game tell you exactly how much damage that you're wearing stopped.

Going back many years to enemy spawning, Earthbound (SNES) had the weirdest monster spawn system. If you blundered into a room full of foes, you could simply run back through the door. That does make sense. But they don't follow Ness and his allies through the door. Why is this? Is there some kind o...

The relationship between Leyla Shadowseek and Theron G. L. S. is purely professional. They never mix business and pleasure... well, almost never. She doesn't even know his real name!

I would disagree. Both Order and Chaos are evil, according to the Pazio Pathfinder alignment system. The reason I have to say this is: Chaos has killed several adventurers without second thought, or even a verbal warning. Therefore he is Chaotic Evil. Order has sent several adventurers to their deat...

The fastest way to end the game for the already doomed land of Zalk at this point would be to use the only door that you can open and push the button while under it. It's faster than restarting, isn't it?.

Well, there is always a solution. Even if it means praying to the one who creates and changes things. In other words, editing the dungeon or save files. I don't recommend this lightly, though. It makes the game feel too... contrived. If you DO decide to cheat like this, I would recommend putting the...

Thank you, Christophe. You are very wonderful at doing nice things for others done quickly.
I give my thanks once again.

Jay.

Sorry to inform you of this, slickrcbd, but the YA EW (magic marker) spell is a Skullkeep only spell that replaces the ZO KATH RA (endgame enabler) spell.
Just like the minion spells, only in DM2.

Good luck and good night.
Jay.

About half way down the page, there's a "here" link which you can click on to download it... I clicked on the "here" button. The only thing I got is a "404 Not Found" error. Am I searching in the wrong place? Was it removed for some reason? Hoping to get an answer soon...

In my opinion, the best way to play the games is DOSBox. The best site would be Dungeon Master Encyclopaedia, though I also have a CD of the official sequel, DM2.

Just to satisfy a whim of curiosity, I left a Glop (Thicket and Inside) alive while I went out to collect the scout map as an experiment to see if they would attack a scout minion. The result: they don't unless you are standing on one, not that it matters much anyways, seeing as how you will likely ...

Veuillez pardonner *coughs, clears throat" ahem, sorry about assuming that you would want any questions in French, but I wanted to make it easier for you to understand me. As it turns out, I make myself look like a fool and make you go "What the heck is this guy trying to ask?". My qu...

Adding to the list of creatures that ignore scout minions in favour of attacking the party: Skeletons (Thicket and Cave) Adding to the list of methods to reduce anger and/or annoyance in the room with the bio-magnet: 1) Summon scout minion. 2) Have it just in front of the zap-zone without being in t...

Yes, you did.

When Blackberry's (Back then known as Research In Motion) servers collapsed in September 2011, when Apple was preparing to launch the iPhone 4S. It's only an unfounded personal suspicion, and I do have it in for the competitors of Blackberry, but looking back, I think that one (or more) of the compe...

Sadly, torches only ever recharge in DM2. They return to full instantly, even if they burn out.

My favourite of the entire DM series is Legend of Skullkeep. I try to do certain 'challenges' to make the game more replayable, such as: Use only Torham and one of the ladies. Use only starting armour (or less) (shields not included as armour) for a two character team for the duration of the entire ...

I am truly sorry about replying in the wrong thread, but I noticed someone mention CSB. Then I glimpsed a quote saying, "Probably wouldn't get out of the worm room with one health." Again I apologize for sending my message to the wrong address, but at least I can explain myself, even if I ...

My opinion of the worst company is very likely clouded by a possibly undeserved emotion, and by national pride for my country and her companies, but I think the worst in the continent is Apple, whom I suspect of intentionally overloading RIM's very secure and otherwise reliable messaging services.
