Dungeon Master?

Post by mzx987 » Tue 19.10.2010, 01:33

I started my own private server and created a character on it. I forgot to set the name and pass on the .cfg file inside the MAngband server folder and now I don't know how to be the dungeon master on my server... Any help?

The name is by default Gandalf and the password will be set when you create that character. In other words, the first thing you want to do when creating a new server is to login with the Dungeon Master character and set his password (at character generation).

Ok, I figured out how to be a Dungeon Master. Now I have another question:
Do Dungeon Masters remain as ghosts?

EDIT:
Can I also summon items or any else special?

Yes, the dungeon master will be a ghost. In the next version the dungeon master menu the DM menu has been expanded a lot and you will be able to dynamically assign or remove abilities or properties.

You can summon monsters and create items, see option 3 and option 4 in the Dungeon Master commands, just explore the interface a bit and you should see the options available. Please note that not everything works perfectly or intuitively, which is why the interface was changed in the next version.
