[MOD] Chaos Strikes Back - Remake -

[comscript]

After months of work I've finally finished the remake of Chaos Strikes Back.
It's the same difficulty as the original so be prepared to suffer.

I finished Chaos strike back just once, back on the Amiga times, I remember playing it with some manual, becuase of many invisible walls and nasty secrets.
It is interesting that Dungeon master is so known RPG, but Chaos just stay behind in the shadows. Thanks for this mode, it looks fantastic. Are you going provide source to the modders ? For example this magic map is absolutely amazing !

@Germanny, Thanks to you Germanny, without you I wouldn't have been able to do those mods.

@Drakkan, If Germany allows me to share his wallset, for sure I will. I'll publish my code too because both are linked.

Here the code for the magic map while you wait.

Be careful, the code is taking a lot of ressources into the onDrawGui() function

Code: Select all

function map(g)
  local i=0
  local j=0
  local px = party.x
  local py = party.y
  local plevel = party.level
  local w=3
  local h=3
  local x1,y1
  g.color(30,30,30,175)
  g.drawRect(20, 144, 112, 112)
  g.color(200,200,200,200)
  for x = px-w, px+w do
    j=0
    for y =py-h, py+h do 
      if not isWall(plevel,x,y) then
		x1 = 22+i*16
		y1 = 146+j*16
        g.drawRect(x1,y1,13,13)  
      end
      j=j+1
    end
    i=i+1
  end
  g.color(0,200,200,200)
  g.drawRect(70,194,13,13)
end

I also played Chaos Strikes Back on the Amiga, and now I've played this mod for some hours I remember how challenging this game was.
I'm not stuck yet, but totally exhausted!
There certainly is a lot of invisible walls, nasty secrets and a heavy challenge overall, but still, it is great to play 'Chaos' again.
Thanks to the author for making another fantastic mod.

This is an absolutely brilliant remake and really evolved from its predecessor.
Thank you for creating this.

I am a bit stumped at the moment with lockpicks. That is I do not have any nor have I found any.
I recall the death row door opens with lockpicks. However I do not have them and I do not even see a keyhole by that door.
Will I eventually find those lock picks? I feel like I have explored a great deal so far.
I have the Emerald Key and a ton of Iron keys and turquoise and a few squares as well as a bunch of gold keys.

thanks again for the remake! It really reminds how much more complex the minds of old school designers were. Well that is to say they actually published their complexity with all its unforgiving and arduous game play.
