[Drod version 5.1.1.436]
I often read on the forum that people struggle with DROD AE engine, because of the evolution of technolgy

So I was thinking, I still sometimes want to play King Dugan's Dungeon, like it was in DROD 1.6
I know there is a "
KDD:AE hold file"
, that can be imported to JtRH, TCB, GatEB & TSS
But then you won't have AE tilesets and music and have a "
citizen"
playing the Neather.
To download the AE styles+music just go
here or
here ("free downloads")

(the next text is secreted because it isn't usefull anymore, but I didn't want to delete it for to give credit to the people who did a fine job on this)
So I wanted to start to make room styles of AE for GatEB,
but it was already been done by Jutt and Timo006 "
here"
and they even pointed out how to install the AE music
"
here are the ogg files"
and "
here how to program it"
(drod.ini file can be found =>
C:\ProgramData\Caravel\drod-4_0 )
But then I came on level 25 and saw a "
citizen"
play the Neather,
so I wanted the change that, but this was not possible without rescripting the entire level.
I was going to start doing this, when I suddenly found "
The Neathers Lair"
from TFMurphy.
Now, I just needed to copy the Neather images from AE tile set and
use paint to make them fit TSS.
If you want the Neather yourself:
here you go
[EDIT]
Many thanks to averagemoe for scripting the ending sequence.
I added it in the hold and added some more AE ending stuff.
[/EDIT]
And voila, we've got ourselves an "
excact"
copy of KDD AE for TSS
Oh yeah, I've changed 4 small things
1) First Level: 1W =>
I've made this room accesable
2) Thirteenth Level: 2N2W =>
I've made this room also accesable (the same way as in 2.0)
3) Fourteenth Level: 3N =>
I also made accesable
[EDIT]
4) I changed the script in level 25 a bit, so you can go chasing the Neather around the level, when you mess up in room 1S
[/EDIT]
[EDIT] 20 november 2018
- rescripted Neather sounds script
- fixed roach bug in level 25 last room
- rescripted "
spare Neather"
(can now be spared infinitly)
- added averagemoe's ending sequence
[EDIT] 7 december 2018
- fixed some mistakes (Thanks NoahT)
- added the image when the Neather hits an orb
- if the Neather is stabbed in any other room except te last one, a speech will start
- added cutscenes to all rooms in the ending sequence (
see post below)
- added something extra to the last song
- moved the cheatcode to level 25 last room (see post below)
[/EDIT]
So many thanks to Erik and Mike, for creating the game
And many Thanks to Timo006, Jutt, TFMurphy and averagemoe for making this a lot easier for me.
So, it's just good old KDD 2.0, but with no secret rooms (except the hidden rooms that were in AE allready)
WITH an "
undo button"
and in "
hard walls"
KDD AE styles and music
So, if some people will help me check the consistency with KDD:AE and my version,
it would be nice.
(not all people I asked permission to, have responded.
But since everything I used is on the forum/site (for free)
and I mentioned everybody here in this topic, as well in the ending credits
and Mike said it was OK.
So I posted it)
