- DungeonMap V1.1

-
- Future Plans for DungeonMap
- ---------------------------
-
- I have a lot I would like to do with DungeonMap. The following are a few
- of my ideas and a rough grouping of them into releases. This is only
- tentative. So if you would like to see an option sooner, or have any
- other ideas, just drop me a note and I'll see what I can do.
-
- V1.0
- - First release with dungeons only..
-
- V1.1
- - Creation of town type mazes with streets, buildings, and town squares.
- - Allow background printing of one maze while the next is being created.
- - Improved the speed and quality of the creation method.
- - Added a title to the printout.
- - Allowed for 2 types of printout (Fixed cell size, and maximum cell size)
- - Automatically adjust window size to your overscan settings.
- - Moved the legend into an optional window to make more room for drawing.
- - Some internal restructuring to ease future additions.
- - The format of the saved dungeon files, has been changed. DungeonMap will
- still read version 1.0 format dungeon files. But, it will save them in
- the new format. To avoid future problems, please load and save all files
- you may have created using DungeonMap V1.0.
- - The default data directory was changed from "DATA" to "DungeonMapData".
- There were just too many programs looking for DATA.
- - The auto-centre option, and the centre edit command no longer modify the
- actual map data. It only modifies how the map is displayed.
- - Program now contains a version string. So you can find the version of
- DungeonMap by typing "VERSION DungeonMap".
-
- - This will be the last version which will save or print without
- registering. I don't like doing this. But, not enough registrations
- are being sent in. To those who did, my heart felt thanx. You will notice
- some of your ideas were added to the list
-
- V2.0
- - This version forward will REQUIRE ADOS 2.04 or higher.
- - Convert to ADos 2.0 ASL.LIBRARY from REQ.LIBRARY.
- - Convert appearance to conform to 2.0 look and feel. Some of this will
- be done throughout the prior releases. But, this will be a complete
- review to ensure it conforms to the Amiga Style Guide.
- - Allow the random creation and editing of encounters in dungeons & towns.
- These encounter decriptions will be able to be specified by the user
- & the user will be able to specify a maximum number of occurances in
- the map.
-
- V2.1
- - Create Icons for data files, and allow starting of DungeonMap from the
- data file Icon.
- - Save the configuration options in the program Icon.
- - Allow for mazes which are larger than a single screen. This will
- require the ability to scroll the maze on the screen.
- - Add a zoom feature to enlarge sections of the map.
-
- V2.2
- - Add ability to lay down a series of walls, instead of single wall cells.
- - Add ability to insert previously designed mazes or maze portions.
- - Maybe, add ability to have roaming monsters, to simulate random
- encounters.
- - Additional ideas that people may request.

- Another Way to Contact Me + An Ad
- ---------------------------------
-
- I am also on the Amiga Users of Calgary (AMUC) bulletin board on a fairly
- regular basis. This is the first BBS to use the full power of the Amiga's
- ability to multitask. Some of it's features are:
-
- - It has a mouse and pull-down menu driven interface.
- - A 2.0 look and feel.
- - Can download, upload, read your messages, take part in an on-line
- conference ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
- - While a file is downloading, and you see another file you want, you
- can just add it to the list to be downloaded.
- - There are already 2 offline readers available for it, with the
- ability to do offline responding.
-
- You can use a regular ASCI terminal package to access the BBS initially to
- get a copy of the special required terminal package. This term package is
- what gives all the above features. Just look for a file called "TERMnn.LZH".
- The most current version, as of this writing, is TERM92.LZH.
