Hey Interrupt, I just made a mod/dungeon for Delver. I was sick for a few weeks so I needed something to do or else I would die of boredom. I found Delver and now I have a new hobby. Dungeon-engineering! This took about a week to make because I had to learn something that didn't have any tutorials. But I think the sleepless nights paid off. I made a five floor dungeon with one secretish room. Floor four and five are...meh. I will remake them when I have more time. Just download it and copy the images in the zip file into the delver jar's level folder. It also has a readme with more instuctions and a link to the OP. The next version will have new 4th and 5th floors and mabye a new weapon. Keep up the great work on Delver.

EDIT:I fixed a bug that would crash the game at the third and fourth floor. The download link is now for the new version.
EDIT 2:v0.2.1 Released! More bug fixes and a crash fix. The download link leads to the latest version

Oh wow, you even figured out how to set height levels. Will give it a run through later today. ( Sorry about the weird format! )

So Awesome.

Something not as cool as either of those, but it's almost ready to use - just need to place monsters, items, and stairs:

I feel like this might be a fun JavaScript project...

Thanks! The map format isn't that bad. I kinda like it because all you need is paint.net and a note of what each color does. By the way do you think delver will get an official forum any time soon? I don't want to spam this topic when I update the mod/map. 

EDIT: As soon as I say all you need is paint.net and notes, ajf starts building a map editor! XD Also I'm looking forward to the Dungeon Generator!

Heh, I just thought it might be a fun little project. Probably won't support height editing yet though...

[Interrupt]

Height isn't too bad, in the height file the green channel is used for the floor and the blue channel for the ceiling. Defaults are 128 and 144 for a perfectly cubed tile at 16 units. Magic number is 16 so that it matches with the 16 x 16 wall textures.

No forum yet, this is the best place for now.

If you need someone to test it I would love to!
By the way, did you finish the dungeon I made? I really want to know of any bugs so I can kill them...with fire...

[ajf]

Some progress with editor! Recognises 4 tile types now, of course, I haven't got all of them done yet.

If someone could tell me what the tile types are relatively soon that would be greatly appreciated

[TheNite]

Bright red are enemies.
Bright pink is the spawn for the player.
Yellow is a torch.
Bright green is loot.
Dark brown is wood floor.
Purple is a purple glowing light.
Dark red is red carpet.
Light blue is water with stalagmites on the roof? (Not sure)
Light brown is a bookshelf.
Yellowish brown is a cave wall.
Grey is a stone floor.
Black is supposed to be a little transparent. Like light grey colored. (Might be paint.net though.) It's a stone floor with either vines on the roof or rocks on the floor.
Purplely pink is a ladder going down.
Brighter purplely pink (lol) is a ladder going up.
Bright lime green (On the 5th floor) is the orb you need to collect.
Darker yellowish brown is a door.
Light yellow is a key.
Light green (almost exactly like loot, it's on the 4th floor of my dungeon)is a green light.

I THINK thats all of them.

These notes worked for me atleast! Better list below.

Color codes are in hex:
4c1111 - Null red
A0A0A0 - Brick wall
6a6a6a - Dungeon start door
A0AAA0 - Mossy wall
503A1B - Wood floor / ceiling
842e1b - Wood ceiling / Red Carpet
0094FF - Water tile
7F6A00 - Cave wall
b96c00 - Wood wall
943f00 - Bookshelf

625200 - Locked door
d67fff - Ladder down
ff7fed - Ladder up
ff0000 - Enemy spawn
FF00DC - Player start
ffb800 - Torch
52ff4e - Green light
6000ff - Purple light
ffe97f - Key
00ff24 - Loot

deff00 - The boss & Orb

Anything else - empty tile with default floor & ceiling textures

Alpha values can spawn entities as well - this will eventually replace all entity spawns so that they don't affect the floor / ceiling textures:
99 - Torch
150 - Hanging moss
151 - Floor rocks
152 - Random decoration (skulls!)
153 - Grass
154 - Random decoration pile (more skulls!)

Thank you! And I had been guessing until now (well, using SCIENCE i.e. testing!)
Current status (before I start using that list) - all of first floor works:

What's 4f3819?

[shpoonj]

I don't know a thing about Java, but I really wanted to try my hand at a Delver level. The only thing I'm missing is how to recompile...

Code:

jar cfm app.jar delver/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

Am I at least on the right track?

You're making it too hard actually, if all you are changing is the level files you can just add all the files /dirs back into a zip file and rename it to .jar

What's 4f3819?

I'm not sure it's anything, which level did you see that on?

Well that definitely didn't work... hm I guess I'll just keep trying!

If I make the jar a zip and then make it a jar again, it'll run... but if i make the jar a zip, open it, then make that folder a zip, and make it a jar... won't run.
