Hey Manikus I noticed you referred to yourself as Project Administrator. Do you mean of the City Proj or of DC development? I just read somewhere else that the only active developer, Paul, does not even use DC and is not even into AD&D. So that pretty much leaves you as DC Community leader by default doesn't it? If you had to pick a title for yourself what would it be?

Just curious because 1. I've just been messing around with ranks, groups, and special badge like images for ranks and groups for use on my Retro Games proj forums.

2. Because while doing so I accidentally deleted a few of my member's avatars when I applied some new special group graphics, yep sorry dude - your cool transformer's avatar is no more....

I thought maybe I could replace the lost avatars with backups using special single member "groups" for each member [since I only have a handful of members anyway - lol] and assigning your old avatar to the new group created just for your account.

See I can't give you your old avatar back the normal way as you can. I can only assign one to you by putting you in a special user group. Had I known of this before I wouldn't have used the group avatar feature! Now I know that what I should have used was the rank avatar feature to add a special graphics beneath already existing avatars. I made one for moderators and one for official members.

The title I prefer is 'Greater Power' (at least related to DC). Seiously though, I am the Project Administrator/Chief Cheerleader for Dungeon Craft and have been since sometime between version .912 and .913 (closer to .913 I think).

Nine or ten years ago, I could have had literally dozens of AD&D enthusiasts who could code MFCs lined up just to get a chance at working on DC. But, now there are many "cooler" games than the old Gold Box style and maybe two coders in the whole world who would willingly touch MFCs (I don't mean this as a dig at CocoaSpud - he didn't need to recruit coders b/c he himself was the head coder and very prodigious; I just mean it as a statement of where the development community lies.) Anyways, I digress.

It does seem a shame that there seems to be a shortage of AD&D enthusiasts who also happen to be great coders these days (The new generation has only heard of "D&D" anyway...)

There are actually a lot of AD&D enthusiasts that are coders, they just don't use MFCs. I've had communications with over a dozen coders over the last couple of years who are interested in DC until they hear about the MFCs. Then, almost to a one, they slip quietly into the night.

Gold Box games are hip right now. There are individuals and small groups all over the internet that are remaking the various games (this has even come up on the FRUA and DC Yahoo lists)...

Really? Very interesting. While you may rest assured that I'm sticking around for DC, I'd love it if someone made a version of Pool of Radiance I could actually finish.

No fear of walking away from DC. The more gold box style games, the better!

Someone on the FRUA list has mentioned doing a remake of Pool of Radiance for FRUA.

It seems really hard for one person to do, though. That's why I decided to do a sequel to Secret of the Silver Blades.

How's that coming along, anyway?

I do like arctic landscapes and such...

Also, Arcalian, why can't you finish Pool of Radiance?

At the moment, nothing of my own is coming along. But, I have been able to re-establish a CVS link and fixed some bugs for DC. I've been spell testing with the help of Peter Deal, as well.

Manikus, ahhh, so they're not really revamping PoR then. Because to use FRUA you still need DOS box or whatever it is.

Uatu, I never got past the textile mill, Sokol keep, or the wilderness areas. Never even got to Yarash the Sorcerer. Azure Bonds, Silver Blades and Pools of Darkness, on the other hand, were fun times. The Krynn trilogy was likewise a blast.

Well they are revamping it, just not to much newer tech.

I run FRUA on my XP Pro box, and I've never needed DosBox. I use the UAShell program, which is needed to apply the hacks, and nothing more.

If you're running Vista though, I suppose it's quite different.
