Grimrock

Hello all !

First, I would like to introduce me a little, but I'm not sure it is the good place for that....

I'm Greg, I reallt really great fan of Dungeon master on Atari ST ! The best game forever !
I'm 37 years old and I sometimes still play to DM on my windows phone
I'm French, then sorry for the strange english sentence I probably write sometimes....

I'm making my first dungeon using the really good editor of Grimrock.
I finished the first level (1 hour to play) and almost finished the level 2...
I enjoy to make it ! And I hope some people will enjoy to play

I will keep in touch here to tell you when it will be avaible on nexus ! see ya !

Welcome to the community, Fox!
I'm Neikun, or The Alcove Guy.
I look forward to seeing your contributions.

Welcome and good luck with your mod.

I know it is not interesting to say that but, my dungeon is growing... I'm making the level 5.
I'm a little slow to make it because I want to make a perfect dungeon, then all the details are very important.
All I can say, it is a classical dungeon with a lot of puzzles more or less easy but always possible to resolve.
Often the fightings sequences and the puzzles sequences are separates and you can often choose different ways...
It is a "Dungeon Master" style but not a copy.

I often play it to test and I realize it is a long time playing dungeon ! the first Level needs at least 45 minutes to finish ! (and I know all about it !)

I really enjoy to try to make a perfect and interesting dungeon. I added a lot of new sounds to make an oppressive atmosphere...
I hope some people will enjoy to play it

I don't know yet how many levels I will make... probably 7 or 8 ...
Then see you soon !

Keep it up! I appreciate when an author takes the time to test and retest things, and make sure puzzles and rooms can't be "broken"

45min for the first level sound like too much, imo you should ease in and teach the player he concepts you will be using in the first level, so it should be easy and make the player think "I can do this!"

Hello

I need your help to finish my dungeon...

All is finished, I'm testing it again and again to correct littles problems but I have a very big problem now.
somewhere in my dungeon the party is teleported with a spawned telepoter. in the editor, no problem. in the game no problem.
But ! If I save the game before use this teleporter I have a big error and the game exit

I reallt don't know what is the problem and it ruins all my work...

I copy here the error message :

[string "Teleporter.lua"]:0: attempt to index field 'map' (a nil value)
stack traceback:

Is it possible that you have a teleporter target set on a floor that does not exist? Perhaps you have a teleporter trying to send things to the 9th floor, but there is no dungeon.lua reference of a 9th floor, so "Crash!" or maybe a teleporter you intend to take the party only, but it is still configured to take items and monters, and your script requires the party to be at a specific point when it activates, but your party is not there, and a snail is triggering the teleporter (or plate activator)before your party is in position. These are my only guesses without more intimate knowledge of the puzzle causing the error.

delete the teleporter and replace it. i had a similar problem on my room for the ORR. that's fixed it.

impossible because the teleporter is created by a script :

function teleporteurmagique()
temporaryteleporter = spawn("teleporter", party.level, party.x, party.y, party.facing, "temporaryteleporter")
:setInvisible(false)
:setSilent(false)
:setTriggeredByParty(true)
:setTriggeredByItem(false)
:setTriggeredByMonster(false)
:setTeleportTarget(10, 24, 2, 6)
:activate()
end
