Mission Imp-possible

Hello Keeper Phelps. Your mission, and you must accept it, is to destroy
 the heart of the dungeon Keeper rival to the north.
 Unfortunately, you have only one Imp...

To play this level in Dungeon Keeper, you will need to play it as a 
multiplayer level by choosing the 1 player option from the Multiplayer Menu. 
This is because there is no other way to play the level in Dungeon Keeper. If 
you have the Deeper Dungeons data disk, always follow the procedure in 
section 2, which tells you how to play this level with Deeper Dungeons. 
That method is much easier than the Dungeon Keeper method. Also, the information
the level gives you at various points will not appear if you play the level
with Dungeon Keeper, so playing it with Deeper Dungeons is recommended.

Go to the Levels directory of the Keeper directory on the hard disk. In there 
you should find a file called levels.txt. Open this using Notepad. This file is 
a list of all the multiplayer levels in Dungeon Keeper. What you are going to do 
is add this new level to this list.

If you have already added a multiplayer level to the multiplayer list before, 
you will know what to do. The single player level script does not come with a 
piece of text which you can just copy into the levels.txt file (like the 
multiplayer level scripts do ),so you will have to write this own. This is very 
easy as you have the levels already in the list to guide you.

Make a space at the bottom of the list and then look at the other lines in the 
list. This is what the list probably looks like if you have never added any new 
levels to it:

50,2,805,455,50(2 Player)
51,2,752,479,51(2 Player)
52,2,688,553,52(2 Player)
53,2,780,617,53(2 Player)
54,2,864,591,54(2 Player)
60,3,430,467,60(3 Player)
61,3,438,531,61(3 Player)
62,3,514,515,62(3 Player)
63,3,418,643,63(3 Player)
64,3,485,629,64(3 Player)
70,4,505,322,70(4 Player)
71,4,575,322,71(4 Player)
72,4,619,342,72(4 Player)
73,4,661,366,73(4 Player)
74,4,649,294,74(4 Player)


There are four sets of numbers separated by commas and then the 
remainder of the line is just plain text (although it does contain numbers, it is 
just treated as text.

The first number is the level number.

The second number is how many players are on the level.

The third and fourth numbers are the co-ordinates of the flag that appears 
on the multiplayer level map.

The remainder of the line (the piece of text) is the name of the level and 
what appears on the flag on the multiplayer level map.


Now make sure the cursor is at the start of the new line at the bottom of the 
list and type in the number of this level, 203. Type a comma and then 
type the number of opposition players that are on the map (1)

What you should now have on the last line of the list something that looks 
like this:

203,1,


The next two numbers are the co-ordinates of the flag that appears on the 
multiplayer level map. The co-ordinates should be kept between 300,300 
and 900,600 so that the flag is not obscured by the large window frame that 
appears over the map when you are playing, e.g. 500,500, (this would put 
the flag at the middle bottom of the map). It doesnt matter where you put the 
flag, just so long as you can click on it. If you cant find it on the map, just 
change these numbers.

What you should now have on the last line of the list something that looks 
like this:

203,1,500,500,


The remainder of the line is just treated as text and is what appears written 
on the flag on the multiplayer level map. Just add the name of the level in 
this space (and the level number too if you want) so that you can always find 
the flag, eg Mission Imp-possible (203)

Now the line should look something like this:

203,1,500,500,Mission Imp-possible (203)

Save the levels.txt file and close it.


Now you will need to run Dungeon Keeper so that you can play the level in 1 
player mode.

If you are playing the MS-DOS version of Dungeon Keeper, go to the 
Dungeon Keeper directory, e.g. c:\keeper. Then type the following:

keeper -1player

Then press Return to start Dungeon Keeper.

If you are playing the Windows 95 version of Dungeon Keeper, click on the 
Start button on the taskbar and select the Run program on the menu. A 
requester will appear.

Type in the name of the keeper directory and also add keeper95.exe on the 
end, e.g. c:\program files\keeper\keeper95.exe.

Then, on the end of that, add the following text: 

-1player

For example:

c:\program files\keeper\keeper95.exe -1player

Then press Return to start Dungeon Keeper.


When you reach the Dungeon Keeper Main Menu, click on the Multiplayer 
button. At the bottom of the list of multiplayer options should be a new option 
called 1 player. This option enables you to play any multiplayer map as a 
single player with computer players taking the place of you absent human 
opponents. Click on the option and you will be taken to the Multiplayer 
Levels Map. Find the flag of this new level and click on it. You should now 
be able to play that level.


2 DEEPER DUNGEONS

If you have the Deeper Dungeons installed on this machine, you should run 
this instead of Dungeon Keeper to play this new level. This is because it is 
easier to play new levels in Deeper Dungeons than it is in Dungeon Keeper, and
custom information triggers will not work in Dungeon Keeper.

All you have to do is copy the level into the Levels directory and then start 
Deeper Dungeons. When you reach the Main Menu, click on the Deeper 
Dungeons option and in the list of levels will be the new level you placed in 
the Levels directory. Click on the name (Mission Imp-possible) to play.
