Hi everybody! Thanks for the enthousiasm! Still working on some bugs but it should be done soon. And I guess I'd let some people here play with the scenario and script editor a bit to see what they can do with it... Devlish -> What do you mean it wouldn't run, too slow or something? Or did you mean it was buggy (because it was, I know) -------------------- Freude, schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heilighthum!

Used to love the original Gauntlet I and II. I even got quite far in solving the nintendo version (the only one to my knowledge that has an ending) -------------------- Freude, schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heilighthum!

If you want anything with a good storyline and less hack'n'slashing, try Ultima 5, 6, 7 or 7.5. Also, Fallout and Daggerfall are good. For pure hacking I would recommend some NetHack clone, maybe Eagle's Eye or ADOM (or of course, NetHack). Or, Might 'n Magic 3 and up, or Eye of the Beholder 1 or 2, or Lands of Lore. Note that most of these are turn-based. Yes, I realize that all of these are commercial. But they're so old you can probably find them on abandonware sites. -------------------- Freude, schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heilighthum!

Correct. In 'Amish Paradise', Think you're really righteous, think you're pure at heart, Well I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art. I'm the pious guy that all the amlets want to be Like on my knees day and night scoring points for the afterlife. So don't be vain, and don't be whiney, Or else my brother we might have to get medieval on your heinie. (from memory so may be slightly off). For the non-Al fans out there, it's a parody of and sung to the tune of Gangsta Paradise. -------------------- Freude, schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heilighthum!

Why would a level data file care in what folder it's installed? I mean, a level is just an array of objects, and can easily be stored in a simple data file using FILE *file = fopen (filename, "wb"); fwrite (array, xsize, ysize, file); fclose (file); or if you're into vbasic more like open filename$ as 1 len = 1:field#1,1 as q$ for i=1 to xsize: for j=1 to ysize lset q$=chr$(array(i,j)) put#1 next j,i close [ Thursday, May 15, 2003 00:59: Message edited by: Radiant ] -------------------- Freude, schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heilighthum!

Anything by Rhapsody (four cds up to date) or Luca Turilli (who is part of Rhapsody but also has two solo cds). Especially, Emerald Sword. -------------------- Freude, schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heilighthum!

Hello, to whom it may concern, there is a new version of SubTerra, which incorporates a bunch of bugfixes. But, more importantly, it now uses part of the Leylines engine which allows it to actually work under Virtual PC. Enjoy! (and of course there's the third annual level design contest, check the SubTerra forum for details) http://www.liacs.nl/~psimoons/sub_inst.exe -------------------- Freude, schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heilighthum!

Pieter Simoons, aka Psi, Eldano, Radiant, Archmage, The Smart Man, Harry Pieter and probably some other aliases I forgot about. »What is your quest? My favorite would be Quest for Glory II. »What is your favorite color/colour? Octarine. »What is your job (If you are unemployed, what prevents you from having more free time)?

As to movies, things like The Game, the usual suspects, and many other films with a surprising plot. »What are some computer/console games you like? SubTerra of course  (sorry, couldn't resist. My old-time fave is Descent, though). »What are some bands you like? Rhapsody. ALso Queen, Marillion, R.E.M. and the Cranberries.

And in case you weren't asking that, Tschaikovsky is nice. »Who are some of your favorite members on these boards? That would be gossip. »What do you think various members look like? Ape-descended bipeds who are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea. »What do you look like? Amorphous. »What did you have for lunch last Tuesday?

Just so you know, you do not have the permission to copy or use levels from SubTerra, or parts thereof. Nor graphics or music, for that matter. Apart from it being illegal (copyright law, you know) it would make some people rather angry. Now I believe your post "ok, ok, I won't" referred to this but I just wanted to make this clear. Other than that I appreciate creative souls and wouldn't mind taking a look at your game some day. -------------------- Freude, schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heilighthum!

66. merely carrying an extinguisher makes fire so much afraid of you that it lets you pass without you having to extinguish it. 67. certain monsters live entirely on a diet of lifebelts, boots and fire extinguishers. 68. in a bird's eye view, gravity works sideways -------------------- Freude, schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heilighthum!

I would suggest going to the microsoft site and searching for terms like XP DirectX. It is an unfortunate fact that XP is not fully backwards compatible with other windows versions. -------------------- Pieter Simoons, aka Radiant Official Crystal Shard and SubTerra webpage Posts: 798 | Registered: Monday, December 17 2001 08:00 |

Hello folks, sorry for not responding earlier. But I don't read the tech support forum all the time. Anyway. Doer of Stuff -> Unless you are using VPC as Alorael suggests, I think this is a DirectX problem. However there will be an updated version of SubTerra available shortly, which may fix the bug as well. For the record, SubTerra doesn't officially support windows 95 even though it tends to work anyway. I'm afraid Geneforge has nothing to do with it as there are very little similarities between GF and ST. Apart from them both being great games of course :) Daemon -> You're saying the /installer/ crashes? That's really weird. Could you tell me what you did to get out of this problem? -------------------- Pieter Simoons, aka Radiant Official Crystal Shard and SubTerra webpage Posts: 798 | Registered: Monday, December 17 2001 08:00 |

If you have any windows problems such as this one then downloading the latest versions of everything would be my first suggestion towards fixing them.
