Levels in Dungeon Keeper are written in multiple files.
Storing a map in more than one file makes it easier to modify the map,
but also may lead to problems when copying it, renaming or sharing
with other people. Knowlegde of what specific files do, and how they look
from inside is not crucial for mapmaker. Mapmaker only needs to know
file format of the level script (.TXT file), which is explained in
Dungeon Keeper Script Commands Reference.
Levels are stored in .\Levels\ directory on Dungeon Keeper CD.
If you want to modify them and use the modified ones, you will have to copy
all the levels to your Dungeon Keeper directory.
See Mapmakers Installation Instructions for details.
Level 1 (the first level), consists of the following files:
map00001.apt
map00001.clm
map00001.dat
map00001.doc
map00001.eff
map00001.flg
map00001.inf
map00001.lgt
map00001.old
map00001.ori
map00001.own
map00001.slb
map00001.tmn
map00001.tng
map00001.txt
map00001.vsn
map00001.wib
map00001.wlb
Not all of these files are required to play the map.
The crucial files are listed above. If you want to save disk space,
or publish the map in Internet, you only require those files:
map00001.apt
map00001.clm
map00001.dat
map00001.inf
map00001.lgt
map00001.own
map00001.slb
map00001.tng
map00001.txt
map00001.wib
map00001.wlb
Rest of the files is not used by the game.
Note that if you're using ADiKtEd to modify the map files,
there may be another file in the list:
map00001.adi
This file isn't used by the game, only by ADiKtEd.
If you're uploading level for end users, and the uploaded version
won't be edited anymore, then you may skip this file.
Several of the Dungeon Keeper files are compressed with Rob Northern
Compression (RNC). You can tell if a file is compressed, as the first three bytes
will be 'R' 'N' 'C'. The fourth byte is a 1 (as distinct from '1').
There's a compressor/decompressor available to download in many places,
for example on Syndicate Series Unofficial Fan Site. Source code in C is available too.
There is also version of the decompression with graphical interface
in DKTools package.
.
Each map is divided into 85x85 playing tiles, as seen on the map.
Each tile is sub-divided into 3x3 subtiles - look at
the game carefully, examining tiles, and trying to break them into
subtiles, and you'll see what I mean. I'll use the terminology above
extensively, be sure you understand what I mean.
- Size: 2*85*85=14450
- Required?: Yes.
- Compressed?: Sometimes (22/58).
- Description: Determines type of "room" each tile is.
- Format: 85 lines of 85 tiles, each having a two byte entry.
Each entry only uses the first byte, the second byte being 0.
- Notes: None.
The .SLB file is basically main file of every map. It contains
information about map layout - says which subtile is places on which position.
The file consist of a two-byte entry for every map tile.
Using .SLB file, the .CLM and .DAT files can be autogenerated.

- Size: (85*3+1)*(85*3+1)=65536
- Required?: Yes.
- Compressed?: All but the first map.
- Description: Determine ownership of tiles.
- Notes: I can't see why this is in subtile format when
only one byte (or 3 bits, in fact) is needed per tile.
The file has one byte corresponding to every subtile
on the map. It also defines the border subtiles, which are invisible.
Border subtiles are: one at start and one at end of every column/row,
so they are indexed 0 and 255.
Here is the list of proper values as C defines:
#define PLAYER0 0x00
#define PLAYER1 0x01
#define PLAYER2 0x02
#define PLAYER3 0x03
#define PLAYER_GOOD 0x04
#define PLAYER_UNSET 0x05
Note: All nine subtiles of every tile should be owned
by the same player.
These files consists of number of entries followed by the list of entries.
Every entry in such file has identical length.
For objects which are placed on map, entries contain coordinates
where the object is. Those coordinates are always stored in same form:
- For 2D coordinates: 4 unsigned bytes: sx tx sy ty
The object is placed on a subtile (tx,ty) and its position within subtile is (sx,sy).
These are horizontal and vertical positions, counting from 0.
The values can be also interpreted as two 16-bit values (words). In that case,
every word stores global position in the map coordinate system.
- For 3D coordinates: 6 unsigned bytes: sx tx sy ty sz tz
The object is placed on a cube (tx,ty,tz) and its position within cube is (sx,sy,sz).
The values can be also interpreted as three 16-bit values (words). It's same as
with 2D coordinates, only there's Z coord which is height. So, tz is the number
of cubes above ground level (note there is usually one cube above ground level,
forming a floor). There are up to eight cubes in total per subtile.
The sz gives the height within the cube.
- Size: 2+(21*number of entries)
- Required?: Yes.
- Compressed?: Sometimes (18/58).
- Description: List of "things" in the dungeon.
- Format:
- 2 bytes: Number of 21 byte entries
- Each entry:
- 0-5: Location
- 6: Thing type
- 7: Thing subtype (eg creature race, trap type)
- 8: Owner
- 9-20: Type specific data
Notes: A table of known values is below.
Most of objects in Dungeon Keeper are things.
These are all objects which generate graphics effects with bitmap (2D) images.
Things can have various "types". Each thing type has different features.
Here is a list of known types as C defines:
#define THING_TYPE_NONE 0x00
#define THING_TYPE_ITEM 0x01
#define THING_TYPE_CREATURE 0x05
#define THING_TYPE_ROOMEFFECT 0x07
#define THING_TYPE_TRAP 0x08
#define THING_TYPE_DOOR 0x09
For every thing type, the meaning of some data is different:
- Type 1=Item/decoration
- 11-12: Sensitive tile; usually y*85+x (y and x being the tile
co-ordinates, not subtile). Value -1 (0xffff) means none.
- Type 5=Creature
- 14: Level-1 (eg 0 for a level 1 creature, 9 for level 10)
- Type 7=Room effect
- Type 8=Trap
- Type 9=Door
- 13: Orientation. 0=door in N/S passage, 1=door in E/W passage
- 14: Locks. 0=unlocked, 1=locked (note the spinning key above the
door needs to be added as a .tng entry).
Item/decoration subtype values (numbers are decimal):

be destroyed. It should be put in centre of large rooms and on lava.
.
Graphic on every subtile can be called column.
Every column consists of textured cubes, put one on another.
Typically, the tall columns (like rock, gems, earth...) are built using 5 cubes
and a base block (which is the lowest cube).
- Size: 1
- Required?: Yes.
- Compressed?: Never.

- 02 for maps 9, 10
- 03 for maps 19, 20
- Notes: There are more textures available in Deeper Dungeons.
The single byte defines texture number. Short description
of available textures:
Number | Texture |
1 |
Standard texture
Used in most of original campaign maps.
|
2 |
Ancient texture
This one has brighter walls than
the first. Walls have Aztec
drawings on these testures.
|
3 |
Winter texture
Walls with snow and ice drawings
representing snow drops.

- Description:Along with the .dat
file, this determines the graphics for the level. Each entry gives
the data for a subtile.
- Format:
- 8 bytes: Number of 24 byte entries (always 2048).
- Each entry:
- 24 bytes:
- 0-1: Use - Counter of the column uses for non-permanent columns;
For permanent colums, this value has an offset.
- 2: Byte with bitfields:
- Bit 0: Permanent - if set, the column is never overwritten
- Bits 1-3: Lintel (unknown)
- Bits 4-7: Height - in subtiles; proper values are 0..7
- 3-4: Solidmask - appears to be a bitmask for which
of the cubes are non-zero, with the lowest cube being represented by
the least significant bit.
- 5-6: Baseblock - determines the very lowest level
(below the lowest cube). I think the block numbers here are
different to the ones used by the cubes, but I'm not sure yet.
This entry is mostly useful for water, lava, and hatcheries.
- 7: Orientation (always 0)
- 8-23: Cubes - there are 8 cubes, each having a 2 byte entry.
The first cube usually forms the floor, etc, up to the ceiling.
- Notes: .dat entries are pointers into this file.

In the
original levels (and Unded ones, IIRC), only used subtiles have non-zero
.clm entries. Adikted generates a standard .clm file, as this is much
easier and has very few drawbacks as far as I can see. The table
below gives (most of!) the values I know about. I haven't been
particularly rigorous generating this table, but I'll add to it when
I find some time. I've taken this entirely from my own source code
(which in turn took most values from observations of original DK
levels). Some cubes are used in several places; I've usually only
put one use below. In the future, I hope to be able to show a picture of
what each cube looks like (only one face is used, it's just
rotated).
- Size: 2*(85*3+1)*(85*3+1)=131072
- Required?: Yes.
- Compressed?: Always.
- Description: Determines the graphics at the start of
the game. When new areas are dug out or rooms are changed,
computer automatically generates different graphics for these
areas, but otherwise everything is in this file.
- Format: Subtile map format, with 2 bytes per entry.
- Notes: None.
The file has two bytes corresponding to every subtile on the map.
It also defines the border subtiles, which are invisible.
Border subtiles are: one at start and one at end of every column/row,
so they are indexed 0 and 255.
If you treat the value for a subtile as a signed
integer, and take the absolute value (or rather, just reverse the
sign - I've never seen a positive one), you get the entry number in
the .clm file.
How visibility is calculated:
At the start of the game, a square is visible to a player if either
it is owned by them or it is possible to reach that square from the
dungeon heart without going through walls.
- Size: 65536
- Required?: Yes.
- Compressed?: Always.
- Description: Determines which subtiles are animated.
- Format: Subtile map with single byte entries.
Each byte is 00, 01, or 02:
- 00: Display the subtile without any change
- 01: Skew the subtile slightly (default)
- 02: Animate the subtile
- Notes: Don't think individual subtiles can be animated...
putting one animated subtile in a load of non-animated ones makes no difference.
The file has one byte corresponding to every subtile on the map.
It also defines the border subtiles, which are invisible.
Border subtiles are: one at start and one at end of every column/row,
so they are indexed 0 and 255.
- Size: 85*85=7225
- Required?: No.
- Compressed?: Unknown.
- Description: Determines type of liquid each tile is.
- Format: 85 lines of 85 tiles, each having one byte entry.
- Notes: None.
Water and Lava Block files are used to mark where
on the map the water and lava is located. Normally, liquid blocks
are defined in SLB file. But if you will put a bridge over
the water or lava, the information about what it really was
is stored here.
.
- Size: Varies.
- Required?: Yes.
- Compressed?: Never.
- Description: Level script which determines victory
conditions, enemy keepers actions, training mode, etc.
- Format: Text file.
- Notes: Description of the language can be found in
Script Commands Reference.
This is a pretty simple scripting language.
There are no loops or jumps, and condition testing is very basic.
There are only three statement forms - conditions, commands, and condition terminators.
Conditions are naturally nested, but that's about as complicated as it gets.
Each line contains a single instruction. Whitespace in the form of
spaces and tabs is ignored. Comments begin with REM.
All unconditional commands (ie ones outside any condition statements) are executed
at the beginning of the game, then ignored.
All conditions are checked at regular intervals.
This file contains just a previous version of the level script
(.TXT file). The .OLD files are created by some text editors as a backup.
This is a text file which contains ADiKtEd script for
levels which were edited using ADiKtEd. The script stores commands
which are specific to ADiKtEd and cannot be used by the game or any other editor.
Using this file, ADiKtEd can support some special functions, which were
originally not supported by the game, such as Graffiti or Custom Columns.
Here you can find description of files which are unused because of
various reasons.

- Format: Always the same - first 5 bytes are C8 00 00 00 04,
rest are zeros.
- Notes: None.
These were planned to be one of Object lists files.
Unfortunately, they were never finished. The game never even tries to load the .EFF files.
They are completely unused.
These files are Microsoft Word documents, which were made
as a text description of the map. Using a commercial program to
write map descriptions wasn't very good idea, so the descriptions were abandoned.
Descriptions of the original maps in DOC files are inaccurate,
incomplete and sometimes they are only templates without any information.
If you wish to create description of your map, you should use text files
(ie. call it .NFO), HTML documents (.HTM), or Rich Text Format (.RTF).
Using Ms Word format is not recommended.
- Size: 131072
- Required?: Probably - doesn't exist for map 80.
- Compressed?: Always
- Description: Unknown.
- Format: Subtile map with 2 byte entries. High byte of each entry is 0.
- Notes: No idea what it does yet. On first map, seems to
be very similar to the slab file (when you've changed the format and
key) but the path to the North/North West of the dungeon heart is in
the wrong place. All rooms seem to have a distinguishing byte or so
in the bottom right corner. Could this be an old slab format?

- Description: Versioning system.
- Format: Single byte, 01 in every case.
- Notes: None.
These files were supposed to create versioning system.
The file contains one byte, which is always 01 in original maps.
The game engine isn't loading these files, neither any
of the level editors.
- Size: 1
- Required?: No.
- Compressed?: Never.
- Description: The function of these files is not known.
- Format: Always 1 byte, which is a 0.
- Notes: none.
These files, similar to INF, consists on only one byte.
But it is not certain if they always have size of 1 - maybe the first byte
defines number of entries.
