Kurt's Demise: Rise of the Ku'tan Thoughts
Long ago I went on a search for an old-school RPG to play.
I happened across Demise: Rise of the Ku'tan. Loved it.
Never really play the online aspect of it; but, the
single-player brings me back every so often. Here's a
simple site showcasing some of my utilities for it.
Also, take note: Demise: Rise of the Ku'Tan and related games e.g. Mordor: Depths of Dejenol and Mordor 2: Darkness Awakening are trademarks of and Copyright 1994 to 2009, Decklin's Domain http://www.decklinsdemise.com and used with permission.
Furthermore, I'd love it if someone could pass me any utilities for
Demise.
Demise Character Ladder
02.03.10 - updated 02.27.10
Demise Character Ladder simply submits basic character data to my server to be included
in the character ladder. View the ladder here. Download it (42K).
Demise Character Editor
01.13.09 - updated 02.27.10
Demise Character Editor is a program that allows you edit
your characters. This program allows you to edit the core
stats, name and much more. It's recommended that you backup
your DEMISECharacters.DED file before running this
utility--it's been tested quite a bit; but, you never know.
It also replaces two of the utilities from below; the Demise
Core Stat Changer and the Character Reamer. Be sure to read
the About-box from within DCE for more information. Download it (54K).
Demise Teleport
01.30.10
Abotiz mentioned that it would be nice to be able to send a character to a specific place in the dungeon. I took that idea and ran with it to create DTP. With this tool, you can select from a list of locations that are stored in a comma-delimited file (freely editable!) and teleport to that location within a single-player game. Download it (40K).
Demise HP Max
01.11.09 - updated 01.21.10
I initially created Demise HP Max as a small test
executable to verify that my memory routine works on multiple
machines. Of course, it also gives unlimited HP while
running. Since it proved successful, I'll share it. Download it (33K).
Demise Quest Remove
01.19.10
Fredrik S. came through again and passed some excellent data in how to remove the guildmaster quests to level. I've taken his data and with a bit of my own memory editing I've released DQR. Download it (35K).
Demise Map Viewer
01.13.09
Demise Map Viewer fills a small need that I found with the
game. I've always wished that I could expand the map like you
can with the textbox. Well, with a little elbow grease and
ingenuity it's now possible. I now play Demise on one monitor
and I have DMV in the second. It's been tested on
multi-player and single-hero single-player extensively. I've
also tested it in full-screen and windowed mode. Be sure to
read the DMV.txt file or the About-box from within DMV
for more information. Download it (1.7MB).

Demise Dungeon Unveil
01.11.09
Demise Dungeon Unveil will mark every map square as
visited on your dungeon map. While working on Demise Map
Viewer, I realized that I wanted maps that were 100%
untouched. I didn't want to show any special squares and I
didn't want to show any of my annotations. I reset my map,
ran DDU on it and captured the maps that I needed. It's
recommended that you backup your DEMISEDungeon.DED file before running this utility. Download
it (35K).
Demise Store Engorge
12.22.08 - updated 05.07.09
Demise Store Engorge will add nine of each item of every
alignment to be made available for purchase as well as nine
unaligned items too. Any item available to purchase from the
store can now be bought--many of the items that are not
available are there too. Such as cursed items, crests and
other odd items. This utility has been removed to meet the
request of a gentleman.
Demise No Raid
12.21.08
Fredrik S. mentioned a couple of hex edits that could be
made to the internet server of Demise. So, Demise No Raid
makes those edits to the DEMISE Internet Server.exe file. These edits will remove the decrease in quantity
whenever anybody makes a purchase from your Store or the
Companion Store. Download it (29K).
Script, Buffs and a Link
12.21.08 - updated 05.07.09
A Demise fan reached out to me in February of 2008 and
mentioned that he had created a PHP script to populate the DEMISEStore.DED with nine of all available items. This
would also add nine of each cursed items and such. A neat
script that packs quite the punch. I had his email archived but I must've missed it
somehow. Thanks to Fredrik for reaching out again. This script has been removed to meet the
request of a gentleman.
In this conversation there is a AutoHotkey compilation
provided by Ayleim that has a link that is no longer working.
I've archived it here for your availability. Download it (200K).
I've been remiss to mention another site that has a powerful
utility. DemiSentry is available at the
unknown realm and is capable of automating much of the
tedium of running a multiplayer server for Demise.
Demise Companion Store
Editor
10.25.08 - updated 05.07.09
This utility will allow you to add companions to your
store for purchase from within the game. It's recommended
that you backup your DEMISECompanionStore.DED and DEMISEMonsters.DED files before running this utility
--it's been tested quite a bit on my computer; but, you never
know. It replaces the Companion Store Editor that I released
at the end of this page back in December of 2005. This utility has been removed to meet the
request of a gentleman.
Demise Core Stat Changer
10.24.08 - replaced by Demise Character Editor
01.11.09
This tool will allow you to edit the six core stats of
your Demise characters. Thanks to Travis for his compliments
on this site and the nudges to make this utility. Since, I've
been the only one to test it, I'd recommend backing up your DEMISECharacters.ded file until you're comfortable
with the DCSC utility. Let me know if you've any problems. Download it (42K).
Item
Editor
12.13.07 - updated 01.04.09
I've also got the Item Editor
with source code available. Download it (272K).
Ken Baker's Stuff
10.14.07
I had a reader send me a couple of utilities, a batch file
save/restore system and an old version of ArchKey. When
browsing the batch file it listed a website that is no more.
So I used the WayBack Machine again and pulled up the 1.1
version of the batch file as well as one-hundred
portraits.
Unfortunately, the second installation file is corrupt and
will damage portrait forty; but, I was able to open it in
PaintShop and resave it. Also, the installation program for
the save/batch file wouldn't install for me so I used Universal
Extractor to rip out the files.
So, you can browse the original site for the installation files or download my
clean zip files. I consider the batch file (5.1K) just a
slice of history; but, the portraits (5.9M) are cleanly
done.
Demise Game News Exporter
09-08-07
Demise Game News Exporter is a small utility to export the
information from the "DEMISEGuildLogs.ded" file. You can then
use Excel or such to view and sort the exported data. Download it (20K).
Demise Guild Log Exporter
09-08-07
Demise Guild Log Exporter is a small utility to export the
information from the "DEMISEGuildLogs.ded" file. You can then
use Excel or such to view and sort the exported data. Download it (23K).
Character Renamer
09.03.07 - replaced by Demise Character Editor
01.11.09
So now you can rename any of your Demise characters.
Pretty handy utility. Let me know if you've any problems.
Since, I've been the only one to test it, I'd recommend
backing up your DEMISECharacters.ded file until you're
comfortable with the DCR utility. Download it (38K).
Companion Store Editor
12.19.05 - updated 05.07.09
This program will edit your companion store file
with nine of all companions of all alignments. Yep, that's
it. No screenshot for it as it's DOS based. This utility has been removed to meet the
request of a gentleman.
