Check function F0303_CHAMPION_GetSkillLevel in CHAMPION.C. It is called twice in F0304_CHAMPION_AddSkillExperience (before and after updating the experience value of the champion) with a flag to ignore object modifiers . This means the Firestaff and other items have no effect on skill level up. In y...

If I understand correctly, the monster attacking condition is satisfied (at least) when the monster is in the next square and is "chasing you" in order to attack No. Where did you get that? The criteria in the source code is only about the time elapsed since the last time a creature attac...

The formula described at http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/692 is implemented in the function named 'F0304_CHAMPION_AddSkillExperience' in CHAMPION.C in the ReDMCSB source code here: http://dmweb.free.fr/Stuff/ReDMCSB_WIP20210206.7z

Sorry I misunderstood the issue. If you want to fight really fast, you should avoid using the mouse and use CSBwin keyboard shortcuts. On a QWERTY keyboard, you may press Q, A or Z (first column of letters on the keyboard) to open the action menu of the first champion. Then press Q for the first act...

the flame didn't seem to regenerate as easily as the screamers Each creature generator is disabled for a configurable delay after being activated. The black flames at the entrance of the large hall on level 12 have a delay of 1216 ticks (about 200 seconds). You can see that when editing the dungeon...

On the board index page of this forum, in the 'Links to external resources and community creations' section at the top, open the 'Shared OneDrive' link, you'll find many custom dungeons there.

Sorry I don't have access to manage the dmwiki, I don't know what is the issue.

Hello,

I can add your custom dungeon(s) to the Shared Onedrive if you want.
You may use any online file transfer service to share your files (like wetransfer, ...).
Then please post in the 'Custom Dungeons' forum to announce and describe your project.

You may find it on the shared OneDrive under Tools / DMute.

My ReDMCSB source code does not include the SNES versions yet. However, last week I found a tool called DiztinGUIsh that allows me to seriously start working on the SNES ROM of the game to identify code and data. The good news is that most of the code seems to have been compiled on Macintosh with th...

you can never actually proceed down the stairway from Floor 12 to Floor 13 for the first time while actually carrying the Firestaff It must be possible to throw the Firestaff over the hidden pit on level 12 without it reaching the next pit and falling down to level 13 by throwing it from as far as ...

I have added CSBuild map screenshots from Super NES here for comparisons:

http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/1608

I used DM SNES-PC Exchange to extract the SNES dungeon from the ROM image, and then CSBuild to open it. The "point of no return" is indeed in a different location: if you step on the stairs going down from level 12 to level 13 with the party possessing the Firestaff, then a wall is closed ...

That bug is only in the Japanese 1.0 version. It is safe to go back to the entrance in English versions and in Japanese 1.1.

This is definitely a bug, I checked then added it here: http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/620#toc18

I have no idea... You may try https://dosbox-x.com/ instead of dosbox to see if it makes any difference.

DM2 runs fine for me in dosbox on Windows, so this must be a Linux specific issue.

I have only tested compilation with the NOCOPYPROTECTION flag set for Atari ST and Amiga executables. Check files MKSS.BAT and MKAA.BAT where you'll find commented lines to build executables without the copy protection.
For other versions you'll have to perform your own experiments.

Thanks a lot Sphenx. Now I understand the 'super mode' better. I still can't get any sound output from skwin, is it only me? Did someone else try to play with it? That's strange: With option 'Windows Multimedia', I get not sound and skwin is not listed in the 'volume mixer'. With option 'DirectSound...

Thanks for these clarifications. About super mode: if I start a new game and then check "super mode", I still see Torham default skill levels. I have to restart a new game to see master levels in each skill. Am I doing something wrong? Also about the setup, I tried to uninstall: it does no...

Great! Many thanks for your continued work. Here is some feedback: SKWIN - Can you provide a description of "Super" mode for players in a readme somewhere? (Nothing happens when you check the box, you need to restart the game to see your champions with boosted skills) - Batch files contain...

They look great !

Nice! Did you have them printed in 3D ?

Trust me, I do not "suppose": I know that cross-compilation with the Think C compiler running on Macintosh was used for all .FTL files (that is all Amiga 3.x, Atari ST CSB Utility disk, and X68000 binaries, except the loaders that were compiled on the native platform). The initial clue was...

Definitely not possible in any of the versions I have studied. He was probably referring to early beta versions and not any released one.

You can check this archive: http://dmweb.free.fr/Stuff/ReDMCSB_WIP20210206.7z

It contains:
- the source code for all programs from all known versions of DM/CSB except the SNES console versions
- emulators, compilers, tools and scripts to fully automate the build of all the executables

The Atari ST PASTI disk images available here: http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/625#toc20
work perfectly fine with the Steem emulator (along with the PASTI DLL).
These are original executables and not cracked versions.

Interesting! One can imagine custom dungeons where cooperation or competition between players is required. Is it possible to have two (or more) full parties of 4 champions wandering the dungeon? or is this limited to a total of 4 champions? (I notice there are no blue and red champions and rather tw...

No, this is only done in my spare time. I am quite slow in fact!
