[QUOTE=Jodes]Now I just have to get past that Yogi guy in the Forbidden lands without my computer constantly locking up.. Last night it locked up while I was fighting him 3 times!

Can we say another glitch? lol

Thanks again![/QUOTE]

Probably not a glitch. Once in a great while I'll experience a lockup, but never in the same place. When that happens, I know it's past time to defrag the hd!

I just finally got frustrated, put the Rod of Divinity in my belongings and got out of there! (but I did save another game so if I want to go back I can).

I figured out the add items/special/shadow stone thing!

Down the list of special items there's 5 shadow stones in a row which are the ones in game. The trick is, when you select one, you also have to choose the correct item code. following is what the correct codes, in the code drop down window, are in order as listed;

blue, 0205 - remember, this one is used for some of the athena statues, for the chess board puzzle, AND for the Shadow Lord star-shaped room.
orange, 0207
red, 0208
purple, 0209
yellow, 0211

The way I discovered the above is if you didn't change the item code after selecting the shadow stone, it would always return 0019. 0019 (hex 1300) was probably a typo and it is the first of two shadow stones listed at the top of the special items list. It does not exist in CE and this is what is confusing some things concearning the Shadow Stones.

The second item code 0028 (1C00 hex), and the second shadow stone listed at top of special items list, is also a blue stone, I haven't actually found a use for this one in CE. So if the 0019 was removed from the item code list in the editor, the other shadow stone codes should automatically display for each respective stone just like the other special items correctly shows their item codes.

stuck in ulm lower level.

ok somehow the door entering the lever room got closed and now I cant get out. Ive used the editor to try and set a new location but every time i do i get the monster in space message. Ive tried deleting games and replaying that part and still get the monster in space message when i try to load a new location. anyone know how to get to a new location without that error? I've got to admit the one thing i dont like about dungeon lords is the 2 nasty bugs that ive now been a part of. The 1st was leaving the shadow realm before i was finished and now a frikking door closing behind me somehow and sticking me with no way out.

You can only change location with editor while outside. It is possible to change coordinates while inside by hex editing your save.

katralic · Post by **katralic** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 1:06 pm

location

would you or anyone know how to do that and what numbers to put in to get outside of that door?

katralic · Post by **katralic** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 1:07 pm

can the door be opened?

is there anyway to use hex editor to open the door? if so how?

George_K · Post by **George_K** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 5:41 pm

I've sent you a private message with an address where you can send your zipped save file.

I returned your hexed save.

By the way, if you went through the east gate, before getting into the room where you were trapped, you probably found the skull rod after pushing the wall button. If you had gone all the way around the hallway, you could have opened a gate to another area of the water. This is a failsafe, incase you do mess up in the lever room. All you would have had to do is swim around the water ways and through the failsafe gate back to the elevator.

Wow, this must have been the quietest release, yet. No comments or complaints in 10 days. Has anyone out there tried the update yet?

George_K · Post by **George_K** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 6:50 am

The newest editor version is getting so much better now with the Classes working. I discovered that double-left click or single right click will clear a class so that I can choose another. GREAT!

By the way, I just downloaded the latest editor (I missed the second release on the 12th. Didn't nothice the 1.55b

I've started number 33 playthrough and had a brainstorm. By keeping the starting character, I can have any race by using the hex codes for each one, even changing race anywhere in the game. Where will it all end? HE HE !

Thanks as always, George! You know you are a DL junkie, right? I think they have a support lines open 24/7 just in case you even want out

There is a visible end in sight to this project...

-Adding Quests section
-Correct the interactive mapping
-Expand mapping controls beyond World map to various dungeons
-Race, Picture manipulation

I'm not sure that there will be much more to do than that

I still need to get more info about that map vision ("fog of war") edit that you mentioned somewhere along the way.

George_K · Post by **George_K** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 6:58 am

The fog of war is always in the same location between the last group of data and the next group up from there. The 14 always has the same bytes between it and the last byte of the previous group of data.

The 10 always has the same bytes between it and the last group of data.

There is always 000000 between the 14 and the time data. I don't believe there's any limit to what the time can be set to. I've set it as high as 500,000,000, but even the slowest bumbling gamer could make it in much less time than 100000000.

I usually make it in 20000000 or so, but hey, I've played so many times that I know exactly what to do and exactly where to go.

Corruption.

Alright. So, there I was, just got my T3 Warlock class, in the Draedoth Temple. Well, I shut one of the doors (Cuz I'm stupid like this) and f-rolled under the closing gate. This is in the same passageway that connects to the small-ish bloodriver. Well ... You can't get out, of there, once you've done that. And, yes, stupid me, I had played this game LONG ago, and forgotten what to do, and that's why I rolled under the door, on a frustrated, stupid hunch, but, hey ... So, I decided "Well, why not simply use the editor, and make it take me to someplace outside of here? That's what the map function is for, right? Sure. I trust it." ... *sigh* Weeell ... Everyplace I ask it to make me spawn at ... I get a "Monster In Space" error. -EVERY- time. And now, sure, I only played that character (Mage/Theif/Enchantress/Battlemage/Warlock) for a day ... But it was almost a day STRAIGHT. >_<! Please ... Help me fix this. All I want, is a safe spawn, outside of the temple. I can go from there.

By the by, I didnt quite realize that it overwrote your backups, so after the first map-move failure, I simply tried it again, at a different location, so, the original save, where I was in the temple, staring hopelessly at the gate-lever, is lost. -_-;
And, next time, when I'm lost and frustrated, instead of doing something that could lock me into a single corridor with no escape .. I'll simply tell my stubborn, "I dont need the internet's walkthroughs to get me through a dugeon, I want to do it myself" sense to Stuff It and just come check out the walkthrough for 30 secs.

Help me out?

You cannot edit a save to go from inside dungeons and buildings to the outside world or from outside to inside. You can only go from one point to another while inside, or from point to point while outside.

...Lovely. So, in effect, I'm screwed?

Steve2d · Post by **Steve2d** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 5:12 pm

Your character will be fine...

[QUOTE=AzureSkyy]...Lovely. So, in effect, I'm screwed?[/QUOTE]

Your not screwed at all. All you have to do is change one byte to a "00" and you'll be able to use the editor to move you around the world map. You will have to hex edit your saved file and modify the byte 56467 bytes from the end of the file, which is also 23,004 bytes before the second from the last appearence of you characters name. This is the byte that determines which map your character is located on. Once set to zero, select a location in the editor and save the file. Presto.. you'll be fine. If you have trouble locating the correct byte, email me the saved file and I change it for you. DungeonLord@logicse.com. I'm working on making that map function work within dugeons too.

Additional information regarding the Map/Dungeon Selection byte. Here are the values for this byte that I had already determined:
0 World Map
6 Arindale-Emindor Tower
7 Arindale-Temple of Empyrean
9 Arindale-Great Hall-Trial of Ancients
12 Talendor-Chamber of Spirits
36 Fargrove-Garrison District
38 Fargrove-Circene Catacombs
40 Fargrove-Town Center
41 Fargrove-Monestery
42 Fargrove-Temple of Circene
43 Fargrove-Slum District
46 Maze of Irynthabl

Well, that's awesome. Thanks alot.

I never really understood the hexing. I tried, once upon a time ago, but ... It was too much for me. Like Neo looking at the Matrix for the first time. Nuh huh. xD

Emailing soon.

And, god, is it awesome that you guys check this thread so promptly. <3

Maybe a FUBAR Situation

I don't know if this is a documented problem, but whenever I use the Editor (v.1.55b or v.1.54b) and reenter the game, I've lost my primary weapon. It shows as "equipped" in the inventory screen, but my character is empty handed. I've tried dropping and reacquiring the item, to no avail. Any ideas??????
