If you're a player and want to see what the engine looks like, check out the Tutorial design.

If you're a designer, you need the engine, editor and editor package (this contains additional resources needed to create designs).

To see how DC all works together, check out the extremely informative graphic Paul made "FolderStructure.gif".

All of the tiles available here in the download section.

Contest Winning Design Updated!

Tarlanon — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 20:35:58 -0000

The contest winning design, 'The Mystery of Filos' has been updated. This version fixes several bugs with game mechanics and is a much better play than the other version. All fixes are by the design author and should have been included initially, but weren't due to a snafu made by yours truly. Make sure and download this game again, it's well worth the extra 2 minutes of your life needed to download. ;\)

DC goes multi-platform

Tarlanon — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 03:58:45 -0000

In an ongoing effort to use all or my favorite programs in Linux, I have of course experimented with DC. DC will not run natively in Linux, but through use of WINE I thought it might be possible. So, I eagerly imported Dungeon Craft, started it up and found that the editor had opened and even worked but had major graphics issues and that the engine wouldn't start at all, so I wouldn't be able to play or test any designs. Years went by and improvements were made to both WINE and DC. A couple of months ago, after a fresh install of a new \(to me\) version of Linux - Fedora 10. WINE is now out of beta and I updated to version 1.13. I installed version .914 of Dungeon Craft and fired it up. To my pleasant surprise, I found that the editor looked exactly like it did on my Windows XP system. More importantly, the editor behaved exactly like on my Windows XP system. I immediately created a little desing, saved it, and tried to test it. Nothing happened. :\( A couple of weeks went by and then I was testing a special build of DC on my XP and the engine didn't start, but gave me an error message that I was missing a particular MFC\*.dll file. A light bulb popped on in my head and I downloaded the missing .dll file and placed it in the proper folder in WINE. Voila\! The engine now works. :\) The missing file was MFC42D.dll. But, I downloaded all MFC4\*.dll files just in case. These are available on a number of sites around the web and are free to download. There is one issue that remains, however. I was using DC set to 640x480 resolution. After using the engine and exiting, Fedora 10 \(and Ubuntu 8.04\) do not switch back to their previous resolutions, nor do they "fit" everything on the screen. So, after using the DC engine \(not the editor\) you have to reboot Linux to get your system back to normal. For those not familiar with Linux, this does not mean rebooting the machine, though you can, you just need to reboot your visual display. To do this, open a command prompt, and switch to level 3 \(telinit 3 in Fefora\) and then back to level 5 \(telinit 5 in Fedora\). I have the fortune of having a debug version of DC that opens in a Window instead of full screen, so I can avoid this issue. Paul is aware of this issue \(not a priority\) but is aware of people wanting to be able to open the DC engine in a window \(is a priority\) and will likely have a version that can open in a window for either the next release or the one after that. So, if you've ever dreamed of using Dungeon Craft on your Linux or Apple machine, now you can.

Troubleshooting Dungeon Craft in Vista

Tarlanon — Sat, 23 May 2009 17:48:56 -0000

Attention Vista users\! Install Dungeon Craft in a place other than the "Program Files" directory. For example, instead of using the default path of C:\\\Program Riles\Dungeon Craft, try something else like C:\\\DungeonCraft. If already installed it is a matter of changing your config.txt file so that it is pointing in the proper path to launch the DC editor and engine. The lines to edit are at the beginning of the config file, right after the initial comments.

New Galleries of Default Art

Tarlanon — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 17:46:09 -0000

Check out the new Dungeon Craft galleries\! Most of the 640x480 resolution art has been uploaded and the rest will soon follow. As time permits, non-resolution specific art and art from the other resolutions will be added. What does the gallery have to offer? There is official art that is for the as yet unreleased version .915. It's also an easy way to grab a specific piece of art instead of downloading a whole package. And last, but certainly not least, you can rate the art so the DC team can get some much needed feedback.. To arrive at the galleries, from the main Dungeon Craft page, choose "Hosted Apps" from the top menu and choose "Galleries". Or, you can go directly to the galleries: https://apps.sourceforge.net/gallery/uaf/index.php
