88 Singelplayer maps for DK2

[Whynotsian]

Whynot,


I appreciate the maps you provide. The new updated maps are nice in that they provide a challenge, but are not frustrating. There have been some map-packs out there where there are certain maps that frustrate to the point of just not being fun. I bought DK2 when it was fairly fresh at a Babbages or Software Etc years ago, and it's nice to still see fresh maps out there.

I like that you're still at it, Whynot. Only suggestion I'd have with these updated map packs, is if you threw some thumbnails of the maps in there. While deciding which map to play in these packs, i have to search through the older whynot thumbnails and reference those.

Thank you MrFulci, here you go..

Here's 10 updated maps to ver. II, this was the last of my updated maps, have fun. Hope they will make the play worth
(Now I will retire to a lair of some kind )

There are a few problems in the map "Whynots Dwarves II".

1. the dwarves often do not drop their gold in the treasure chamber or do not go to the first best treasure chamber, but go through it and go to the next one.

2 I can't switch through the creatures. I have already removed 2 Rogues and now have to remove some again (because the Dark Angel was added) so that everything fits on the first page.





You see: The arrows can't be used, but there would still be a few dwarves (and also the Dark Angel, if I hadn't thrown away the rogues).

Whynot,

Do you have a pack with all your, "Version 2" maps?

I saw a map in those thumbnails, and I'm not sure what map pack it's in...

Whynot,


I've been picking my way through some of these maps, and I cannot get Temple of Jupiter II to start.

I read on a previous page that you had updated this map due to an error. Is it possible that the older version, of this version 2 map is in the new pack?

Updated "Temple Of Jupiter" and "Temple Of Jupiter II", When added a new Hero Party to make this map a little harder
I changed and moved some Action Points and forgot to change two other Hero Partys respawn A.P. acordingly, now fixed.

Edit. Why you can't get this map to work, why I don't know, I just testplayed it, both before and after and it starts fine!

Whynot,


I tired it again, with files from your new zip. The DK2 loading screen pops up, status bar moves to the right, and then it dumps me back at Windows. It's actually the only map of yours that refuses to play, out of the many maps of yours I've been able to play. So, 1 out of 50 or whatever failing is still a decent average.

If you are curious, I am trying to load this map with the GOG release of DK2. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I have the older brick-and-mortar release on CD somewhere, not sure what version that is, I can always try it with an older version and see what it does.

Hello MrFulci!

This MAY be because you have one space too many in the shortcut. I had this problem once, even though I've been playing DKII for decades and must have played hundreds of maps.

Look carefully:

YES -> “Whynots Temple Of Jupiter II”
NO -> “ Whynots Temple Of Jupiter II”
NO -> “Whynots Temple Of Jupiter II ”
NO -> “ Whynots Temple Of Jupiter II ”

Is there a space after the first “ or before the last ”?

I also never noticed this error and never made it before and was then surprised why I couldn't load the map.

Rox,

I just now checked my shortcut for this map. All looked good, but I typed things over again. Same result. Status bar fills in from left to right, and then I get dumped back to Windows.

MrFulci, you can try this...

First, 1. Make sure you also have in the shortcut > properties > Start in: "E:\Dungeon Keeper 2" (change to whatever where you have it installed "C:").

2. Try this version.. https://www.mediafire.com/file/kjz1p...r+III.zip/file

3. And last try this, that is if you have a NIVIDA card installed on Win10.

To make DK2 crash less on W10.
1. Right click on your desktop, choose NVIDIA Control Panel
2. Choose, Adjust desktop color settings (to the left)
3. Choose, Other applications control color settings > Apply
4. Choose, Manage 3D settings (to the left)
5. Choose, the tab > Program Settings
6. (1. Select a program to customize search for dkii.exe (If you don’t see it already)
7. Go to Texture filtering – Trilinear optimization > make it Off.
