Post here any bug you find or comments you want to add to the Dungeon Master MOD. :mtk:

When i try to install, i get a error message, help plz.

Me2 bro. It says it can't find a dll file. Its like MSVBVM60.DLL or something.

Try going into the folder "NeededControls" and running both setups. Something that isn't mentioned in the readme...

I did.

i found a glitch, around the first 4 players, one of them will randomly be picked for the effect of the glitch, this is what happens

once they select their race, and class and everything and hit "im ready", the cursor still shows like theirs a dialog, and it never says their ready, even though they clicked on "im ready"

Problems -> Known Solutions:

Solution 1: Run the setup.bat file that is on needecontrols folder.

Solution 2: Maybe sum WE Blink has modified some of your original war3 files. If you get an overflow message, move all the Dungeon master files to the war3 root path.

Solution 3: if you need vbruntime files then get it here.

Okey... For some reason. I dled the .zip file from the first mirror, nothing was in seperated folders, and I ran the setup, and then tried the install dm mod whatever button... It didn't work. Said I was missing the /data/listfilew3m.txt
So I created a folder called data, and put the listfile in there, and it worked... I don't know why it wasn't in there in the first place... but I figure this might help a few people.

i gets a runtime message when i try to set it up i did run setup.bat and setup2.bat

that camera gets really annoying...... anyways,

after trying to install the DMMOD to the maps, it didnt work, then i went back to try again, and now theirs nothing in the .zip, or .rar, even if i download it again

For all u peeps with error messages goto my thread "doesn't work"

Ok, now that mien does work I have a problem that must be fixed. When the game starts, everyone is in cinematic mode. This is crap because if a Player leaves, the dm wont be able to start the game, and if the DM leaves, then the players will never know. Please change this.

ok, WHY IS THE UNDEAD NECRO DIVINE! I've been tked by one, and there a pain in the ***, royally.

also

-/ commands do not work on b.net.
-make building and units built by units, spawn faster, it is a major pain, since all the text commands get on my nerves.

I've noticed a few problems. As has already been said, it seems that when teal picks his race and class, the game doesn't register it and the only thing you can do is kick teal...
another problem. If the DM selects boot player during the initial character selection, and then cancels by selecting the waypoint, then he cannot start the game and must remake.
the third problem is about lag. I don't know if it can be helped but there is a lot of lag in the game. I am pretty sure it is caused by the cameras. The cameras often twitch so I think that the game is constantly applying to the camera's position and it causes a lot of lag. The only things that need to be constantly changed are the cameras facing angle, and that it is locked on to the hero. If the player uses the mouse wheel to reangle camera, it really isn't a problem because they could set it back by typing the camera command again. Of course I could be wrong and maybe the lag isn't at all caused by the cameras, but I have a good feeling that it is.

[edit] I have some suggestion for new DM commands as well. You should have commands to change the selected unit's tint, transparency, color, size, and other stuff like that. It doesn't affect gameplay but I always enjoyed features like those in RP maps to make some units cooler. You can just add a "visual effect" or something category to the Chosen units menu, and then select tint, transparency, size, etc and type in the integers to use.

[edit] I thought of yet another idea. I don't know if it's possible, but if you can make it so that neutral passive shares unit controls with the DM. It would be nice for the DM to be able to make passive units and not have to go through all the menus to give them basic commands. If this isn't possible for passive, you might wanna make a neutral computer. I'd be willing to give up a player slot for the ease of controlling neutral units. I never play with 11 people anyway. Also I'm even more sure that the cameras are the cause of lag, because I notice that when I tried being a DM I didn't lag at all, but the players did lag and kept complaining about the cameras.

Okay, great job dinadian, i will look into what you say.

About the lag some pc's can have, it's caused by the graphic detail set by the cameras. If you have a low PC, ask the Dungeon Master of the game to perform the performance detail of the represented world of the cameras. The DM can do that by typing the command !config (that will show up 2 other commands) or directly by typing !farz followed by distance of the representing world. For example, !farz 6500. Default is 5000. Max Detail is 10000. Try doing this. It's less lag but less quality.

I hope this helps. If not, just set the camera !cam4 at the beginning.

I have some suggestions. It takes too long to create quests and towns and the like. About half an hour to make a quick senseless quest, and thats if your a fast typer. You should make a corner section on a map and thats where the people would train while the DM is making the quests. Fast build and unlimited money would be nice for the DM as the text commands get really annoying.

For the lazy People...

-Buildings should be able to spawn anywhere like in the RP's.
-Takes long to create quests so create corner sction where palyers train while the DM creates quests.
-Fast build and unlimited money for DM as text commands get annoying.

I shall post more suggestions when I think of them.
