First Time Users:

Before the engine will run, a design needs to be created and saved using the editor. To run the engine after saving a design, either choose the menu option under 'Global->Test Design' to run the engine, or double click on the 'Start' shortcut that is in the saved design's folder.

Dungeon Craft Downloads

There is a menu option added to the UAForever group on your Start menu that is called 'Check for UAF Updates Online', and it will automatically look for a newer version of DC. If a newer version is available, it will download and install the updated components. If you downloaded the all-inclusive 'Full' installer, the update will once again download the newer all-inclusive install package. If you used the smaller installer, only the changed components will be downloaded and will almost certainly be much a smaller download. In summary, I recommend trying the smaller installer first. Both installers include everything.

The latest full release version of Dungeon Craft is 0.914. ( View Change History, View To-Do List

Dungeon Craft is available for download through the SourceForge.net web site.

If you want to run a quick test to see if your computer can support Dungeon Craft, download this utility DC Hardware Check. It will examine your DirectX version, CPU type, and operating system version then inform you if something will not support Dungeon Craft.

Dungeon Craft Misc. Downloads

Dungeon Craft Game Engine- This is the Game Engine for those that only wish to play designs, but not to create designs of their own. The current version is 0.914.

GPDL Compiler- Contains the General Purpose Dungeon Language script compiler created by Paul Stevens. DC has a built-in compiler for most scripts, but you will need this command-line version for compiling conversation scripts. The DC installation will provide a copy of this file, but this link will provide the latest version of GPDL if needed.

BASS Sound DLL- Contains the BASS sound DLL file (bass.dll) which is required by DC to play sounds. It is included in the installation, but is provided here in case someone needs it. You should install this file into your root UAF folder, overwriting the 'Bass.dll' file that is already there. The BASS lib is not compatible with older DLL versions, so if you have some problems playing sounds be sure to install the latest BASS DLL.

Source Code (2.15MB)- Installs the source code for Dungeon Craft. No support files are included. You must install the runtime components (art/sound/config files) before the executables you build will run successfully. This archive is not updated for minor patches, only for full releases. DC uses DirectX 7 so you will need to have the Microsoft DirectX SDK installed also. Any version of the SDK that is DirectX 7 or higher will work.

Source Code For Libs (398KB)- Provides the source code for the library files used by Dungeon Craft. You probably don't need to install this to compile DC. The source code installer above includes pre-compiled lib files, and the lib source should not normally be edited. This zip file includes the lib source for LibPNG and ZLib.

Help File- The Windows help file for Dungeon Craft.

Importing FRUA Designs

If you are importing FRUA designs, it is recommended that you download and install the art packs that provide FRUA-style images in DC format. You can find these art packs at the Magic Mirror. There are packs for monster icons (includes npcs), PC icons, small pictures, large pictures, sprites, walls, and backdrops.
