Due to some problems in the website, the previous thread about my Dmod was deleted. So I am posting the topic again as redink1 assures me that it is next to impossible reviving what is lost.

The Magical Realm of Histanbul is an epic Dmod featuring Dink who decides to enter a wizard competition held in the magical town of Histanbul. But there are wheels within wheels and the real plot is a lot complicated. I won't tell about it now as it would be spoil the real fun.

So after hours of tedious scripting and mapping, I have completed 65% of the work. Here are some screenshots:

A pig, some leeches and a green version of the slayer.
A castle and some new orange and light pink trees.

Send in your views, comments and suggestions to help me make my Dmod better. I will keep updating this thread to tell about my progress.
As for the release date, it will be around late Feb or early March. Also those guys who are interested in beta- testing can give their names in advance. I am hoping to release the beta version around 15th of February. I will need someone who can detect the minor flaws, hardness errors and grammatical errors(as I am quite bad in English).

I object 
Nice screenshots you have there, I think all those custom graphics really give the DMOD some atmosphere. A DMOD revolving primarily around magic is quite a nice (and a novel) idea too. (Bane of magic might may be similar).

Looking forward to it...

I hear this d-mod used to be called Honstantinople.

Mmmm, pizza. 
Histanbul was Honstantinople
Now it's Histanbul, not Honstantinople
Been a long time gone, Honstantinople
Why did Honstantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Hurks'

Update:So finally after a trying period, I have started the construction of the second last stage of my Dmod. Writing scripts for a mini-boss really drove me mad and it took nearly 60 corrections to finally get it right. Don't be mistaken that I took so much time writing a single script. The boss fight also included some nice explosions, scripting a timer, spawning various fireballs, razor blades etc.

So I am glad that I really will finish this project of mine soon enough....

Yeah, writing scripts for things like cool bosses are a lot of work, but they're also a lot of fun, IMO.
