but what is the RIGHT answer???

Hi,

I received the following setup error when I tried to install the
Visual DB2ACK Tool:


C:\WINDOWS\SETUP.LST

Invalid line in Setup information file!

Section: Setup1 files
@mapeditor.rsc,$(AppPath),,,3.14.04 2:36:34 PM,10652,0.0.0.0



Can someone tell me how I can fix this and install the Tool?

Your help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Nikhil Kulkarni

Simon,

I am a registered user of the Princess Demelza adventure for Dragon
Bane II (with the email address of nkulka3@...).  However, I do
not have the most current registered version of the adventure. Can
you please send me the latest version of it (to nkulka8@...)?

I tried to send you an email (to jacobss@...) but it did not
work for some reason.

Your help is very appreciated.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Nikhil Kulkarni

It means just what it says, that the version of the file is wrong, or in the
wrong format.

The format of the pdbs.cfg file can not be changed, and has to have a valid
version as the last item on the line specifying the file.

Something like this:

!WALL:Walls256Shade:Drg2Walls:MythoLogical Software:1.0

The "1.0" is the version, and must be correctly formatted.  If you changed it,
you will need to change it to a properly formated "x.y" where x and y are
numbers.  So, "1.0" is fine, as is "0.9" or "2.3" or 7.1" or whatever.

Hi Bob,

I do not work for Mythological Software.

I do not know enough about computers to help you with your 'bad
version' error.

Once you start compiling, you can just redo the .bmp files.  For this
discussion you will need to download Dragon Blossom OSI:

Dragon Blossom OSI adventure script

http://tinyurl.com/3mp3j

If you look at

C:\Dragon Blossom OSI 1.0.3.6\Game (Object Code- Easy)\Documents-
Easy\Screen Shots-Easy\WallList-Easy

or wherever you unzipped the file on your hard drive, then open file
( walls.html ) without the parenthesis.

Wall #33 is made of a brush that looks like a drawer (actually
drawer1.bmp, drawer2.bmp, & drawer3.bmp).  The brush is stacked 4
high, then a partial 5th.  The partial is chopped off at the bottom
and flipped to form the top.  This same brush is used for the drawers
in Wall #32, and the legs for wall #34 & #35.  Parts of wall #34 are
chopped and use for wall #35.  Wall #21 is used for Wall #31, #32,
#35 and #116.  Wall #89 is used in wall #62.  When turned off, Wall
#89 is replaced by Wall #21.  If you have trouble with this example,
let me know.  What I am trying to illustrate is when you just change
the .bmp files without understanding the brush and wall files,
unexpected things can happen.  If you do just change the .bmp files,
be sure to check all the walls to make sure your changes did not have
unintended consequences.

Hi there!

I'm having trouble getting new adventures to compile, once i have made
changes to the wall tiles.

I get 'bad version' error.


also would like some comments on this: I was looking at redoing the graphics
for the game, by just editing the .bmp.
theoretically this should let me insert new graphics over the old ones
without having to mess around with the brush data and wall defintions?

thanks!

Bob.

Guys,
I posted a cheat for this game a while back on this site.  I
originally only wanted to do that and nothing more, but now that I am
compiling my cheats for all the games so far into one site
http://www.palmcheaterguy.4t.com (unfinished!) I wanted to get this
one and see how it was doing...  I never really expected the replies
I recieved!  I am glad that I have help! :-)  I will bookmark this
page and come here more often!

Hi Simon,

Actually, the "T.M.U. GUEST LODGE" deliberately appears on several
maps (Note 1).  You can go to the "T.M.U. GUEST LODGE" if any of your
party is DEFEATED and the necromancer's will cast REVIVE DEFEATED+
for free.  Once revived, you can heal your character.  You can also
put STORAGE class characters (see below) in "T.M.U. GUEST LODGE" and
load them up with "SUNFRUIT. 20", "PORT MELON. 99", "SEAL-PORTAL",
etc. in case your party needs them to get back to INTERIORS.

Major Bug: Grayscale support
Minor Bugs: Storage Class, Three Temples

Grayscale support.  Grayscale crashes Pocket PC.  Mighty Might
Software is working to generate an error message, and they may
support grayscale in the future.  A Hobby That Pays, Inc. has created
demo versions of 4 shade gray, 16 shade gray, and 256 color and
included them with the Dragon Blossom OSI and Saexgryth.

Storage Class.  The STORAGE class characters have been renamed --
  "STASH A", "STASH P", "STASH M" and "STASH I".  The STORAGE class
now uses tile #152 which has been revised. Tile #152 now has the
text "Not a character. Item Storage. 1 HP AC+30".  All the tiles for
classes have been updated.  The MONITOR used to have the text "M00,
P00, I00", it now has the text "MA00-00, PA00-00, IA00-00".  Meaning
the MONITOR class has a melee accuracy 00% with intermediate melee
objects and melee accuracy 00% with advanced melee objects;a
projectile accuracy 00% with intermediate projectile objects and
projectile accuracy 00% with advanced projectile objects;an invoke
accuracy 00% with intermediate invoke objects and invoke accuracy 00%
with advanced invoke objects.  These were detailed in the
documentation, but this will hopefully make it clearer, to new people.

Three Temples.  The game starting map and INTERIORS was created
several years ago.  Some of the walls, and text are out of date.  The
three temples, when the game starts, have been replaced with a floor
& ceiling pentagram teleport wall, a temple wall, a grav lift down
wall. Text has been updated for unlock alley, difficulty setting
corridors, entering the CLEARING, portal returns, taverns in
INTERIORS.  Mostly this was just clarifying the text.  Some obsolete
text was deleted.

-William

Note 1) It should appear on INTERIORS, ORCHARD HOUSE, FACTORY,
GREENHOUSE, LOW FARM, MIDDLE FARM, and HIGH FARM.

Hi,

I've played DB2 for a while, one characters as 2 items "Jewel2" that
I do not know how they got there.

Now, I'm in Lord Lair 2, with a shield called Holy Ward* I think and
after a fight, probably a Hydra, it transformed in "Jewel3".

Can someone explain me all this and if I can convert it back ??

Is there any use of those Jewels or it is only something to slow me
down ??

Thanks !!

William,
I am still play testing Saexgryth. Only bug so far is same necromancer inne
appears on several maps such as orchard, factory, interior.

What is the major bug to watch for?

Dragon Blossom OSI can be found at the following URL:

This will redirect you to the DragonBaneII Yahoo!Group.  You need a

It was thought that Saexgryth was missing some bonus sections, but
bug free.  However, three bugs have so far been found,  one of them
major.  Because of this, Saexgryth was pulled from the market leaving
just Blossom OSI.  Once Blossom OSI has been "play tested" and
debugged, the same bugs can be fixed in Saexgryth.  Saexgryth will
then be sold through www.palmgear.com, a palm software site (though
it should run on the Pocket PC, linux and any other platform that
supports Dragon Bane 2: "Return of Kra'an" [MSRK]).

Currently we have one (1) person looking for bugs in Blossom OSI.

Hi subspace444 [original message -- and URL -- at end of post],

I am not an employee of Mythological Software.

Even running the demo version of Dragon Bane 2 Engine (DB2E), you
should be able to find the Lonely Spirit Tavern
  after midnight unless you have completed "Cellar 2" and recovered
the figurine.

Try the following.

1a) save your game
1b) restart your game
1c) go to the Lonely Spirit Tavern at "NEW TRELEON (24,2)", your
party facing North, after midnight.

if that does not work, got to the below URL for "Return of Kra'an"
(MSRK) saved games.  Load a game  like MSRK Cellar 1.  See if it will
work with your copy of DB2E.

If you want an answer about the Enchanted Grove go to the below URL
for "Return of Kra'an" (MSRK) walkthrough.  Be warned, the Enchanted
Grove is after Cellar 2 (the Lonely Spirit Tavern) but you must pass
through another dungeon to get through the Enchanted Grove.

I've talked to the king, I've talked to the barkeep in the SouthWest
bar, and I have gone to the correct location of the Lonely Spirits.

The only conclusion I can come to is that my game is somehow broken.
Maybe my map file is corrupt. I will try downloading another one.

Ok, I started the game over, and now it works fine.

I think because my chars were very high level (by going back to the
eaglemen over and over), it just didn't want to let me in.

Thanks for the help.

It includes paths A Hobby That Pays, Inc. choose not to pursue, such
as improved versions of the spells used in "Return of Kra'an" that
were dropped due to the 255 spell maximum.  Improved versions of the
classes from "Return of Kra'an" that were dropped because of the 16
class limit.  The monsters from "Return of Kra'an" renamed -- but
using the same statistics -- and using the Tile file included with
Blossom OSI.  The monsters were dropped because Blossom OSI's new
weapons and spells, as were early attempts at object files.  (E) In

I am sure it is the right door. During the day it says it is locked,
but that it is a tavern.

Geez, I am hopeless.

I waited until after midnight, but whenever I enter the place, it's
just an empty building. During the day it says it's a tavern, but
locked.

So maybe it's only open certain days of the week. I'll have to try
them all.

Subject: [DragonBaneII] The worst player ever

I must be the worst player of Dragon Bane II out there, because I see
no one else who is having the problems I am.

First, in the town you start off in, I go to the NorthWest to go to
the secret bar, but all I see on the wall is a sign that
says 'revenge'. I cannot find the bar itself. Help. I have waited
until night, but still no go.

Also, in the NorthWest of the outdoor map, I try and go to the
Enchanted Grove, which I assume holds the catacombs, but the trees
are 'impassable'. Again, I have tried passing these trees at all
times of the day, but no go. Help.

Thanks.

Started playing Saexgryth. Great adventure! Love the new graphics, weapons &
characters. I can see William put a lot of work into this. The tribute to
the Challenger space shuttle is nice as well. The way you can set your own
difficulty levels & even commence at another point in the adventure by
visiting the interiors is also another different idea.

It really is quite surprising how different Dragon Bane Adventures can be if
you put some thought into adventure design. The whole game really is a
remarkable credit to Gabe & Jason who designed an amazing game engine and
adventure construction kit enabling hours of play in RTK and giving people
like William & myself the opportunity to design adventures like Princess
Demelza set in the medieval Dragon Bane environment right through to
Saexgryth set in a brand new futuristic university campus environment.

William's adventure is called Grimflaed and it takes place as described
above in a brand new futuristic university campus environment William calls
the Techno University. The game is available in 3 "flavors". Dragon Blossom
is a limited version of the full game that he has released and is completely
free so long as you don't mind using black & white graphics. Personally you
are better off spending the $10.00 and purchasing the colour graphics which
make Dragon Bane the engine seem all brand new & fresh again. Now for
another $5.00 you can purchase a larger version of the same game called
Saexgryth. This is what I am currently playing and the game really is quite
clever and most importantly completely different to RTK or PD. So I think
this $15.00 is well spent.

Now there is a third version of the game which is the full version called
Grimflaed which William has not finished as yet which is the complete
adventure from Dragon Blossom right through. I initially expressed concern
that if you tried the free Dragon Blossom then wanted to upgrade to
Saexgryth then upgrade again to Grimflaed you would always have to restart
because saved games are not transferable between adventures.

However William assures me that you currently will only have to restart
between the free Dragon Blossom & Saexgryth. Very cleverly between Saexgryth
& Grimflaed you can upgrade & the Grimflaed upgrade will emulate where you
would have been up to had you completed Saexgryth. (Character levels,
monster densities & I guess he will reveal maps that would have been
completely exposed by this stage?)

It appears William has also got around the registration limitation in the
Dragon Bane engine in that you can only either publish a demo or full
version of the adventure - not a full version with a license key. I haven't
seen this yet but apparently when you get to the level in Grimflaed that
comes after you would have completed Saexgryth you will be asked for a code.
You then supply William with the reference code & he will return you an
unlock code. The only problem with this is that you need a new unlock code
every time you restart & only William can supply it. So if he gets run over
by a bus or defeated (killed) by rat lad we can never play the registered
version of Grimflaed again!!

Seriously, this license idea is a good innovation as look what happened to
me - I have only published PD on 3 sights yet it is available for sale in 27
different languages on over 200 sites world wide! Anyone wanting to market
PD just has to purchase 1 registered version and away they go.

It would be good if the DBII ACK did have some facility for a license key. I
estimate I would have lost a few thousand dollars so far through illegal
sales.

Once again - congratulations William on a job well done!

Regards,

Simon Jacobs

Hi,

If you are playing Dragon Blossom OSI, the following compares TMU
terminology to "Return of Kra'an" terminology.

/////////////////////////////////

MELEE=STRENGTH
PROJECTILE=DEXTERITY
INVOKE=INTELLEGENCE
VITAL=STAMINA

Why change them at all? Short answer:

Hi,

I have ammended the party recommendation document as follows:

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

->->->->->     STORAGE (1 hit point, WIZ WALL ELEMENTAL [NOTE 6])


Note 6) STORAGE always miss with gun or handweapon.  STORAGE have 1
hit point and AC+30.  If a monster attacks them, the monster almost
always hit (95%), and kills a STORAGE character.  A Hobby That Pays,
Inc. (AHTPI) does not have access to the source code for Dragon Bane
2 Engine (DB2E).  STORAGE is an attempt to let players store items
for later use.  For example if you FIRE-KIN (WIZARD) cannot use TORSO
4 FLEX.B* armor yet but your STRIKER, WATER-KIN and GUARD all have
TORSO 5 FLEX armor already, you might want to save the TORSO 4
FLEX.B* amor for your FIRE-KIN.  On 4 shade & 16 shade gray PDAs, it
is very hard to see an item that is grayed out (character who has it
cannot use it).  To make it easier for these PDAs to read the items a
STORAGE character has, they have MELEE & PROJECTILE 40, and INVOKE
31.  However, any handweapon or ranged weapon (gun, WHIRL&,
HARN'GUN+, invoker spellweapon) that a STORAGE character uses, will
always miss a monster.  If you give a STORAGE character a HEAL WAND
86 and place him in party slot 5, the first monster with a gun who
shoots at the character will 95% kill him.  Also 50% of monsters have
guns or spells.

Hi Dana,

You can download Dragon Blossom OSI for free from the DragonBaneII
Yahoo! Group file section.

http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/DragonBaneII

As per our conversation in message 1479 (see below) if you do
download Dragon Blossom OSI, open the file (monsters_tm.txt).  I
could not discuss it before due to business reasons, but the MOUNTAIN
has an AC +30 (very easy to hit) and 30,000 hit points.  The VOLCANO
is AC +30 with 60,000 hit points.  Whenever my party runs into them,
I usually runaway.

If by produce anything you mean an adventure related, Dennis Burns is
beta testing a "new Adventure editor. It is a full featured graphical
editor including tiles, wall, heros, objects and of course maps."
See message 2562 below.

Marcus released a "Visual DB2ACK Tool v.1.00".  See message 2516 below

I have not tried either one.

William

Subject: [DragonBaneII] strange avatar


During the course of playing the game the knight character's avatar
has changed from what was a fine knightly figure to something that
looks like perhaps a female washing a floor w/ a fireplace behind
her. Is this some strange condition that I failed to notice or is it
perhaps a bug or glitch? Anyone else have this happen to them?
