I think CSBuild's current item editors (item as in any actuators, doors, etc) are more then sufficient for what we need. It may be a bit confusing for people who do not program and/or people who have not "studied" CSB/DM dungeons like others have... But DM/CSB is a very confusing game! I s...

Wow, that was... enclypedic? (hehe) Anyway, a few more clarifcations are needed, but i understand most of what you stated (And/Or gates make sense to me now, and will prove useful in dungeon-craft) When using set/clear targeting an and/or actuator, you say it sets/clears a single specified bit. How ...

Regarding floor actuators and wall actuators. Your individual actuator editors are a bit confusing, i was wondering if you could perhaps clarify them a bit: And/Or Gates (also called And/Or logic): What exactly is "Edge detection" and what do each of their values mean? I have yet to test i...

I tried countless times, and the only result I got was constant pain and suffering at the couatl (sp?) section of "dain". But you are 100% correct antman, it does prove to be a LOT of luck. Speed boots and eyes of time (which are randomly placed) , i can't wait to see what you picked up in...

<t>GOT IT<br/> <br/> I figured it out... tricky... but easy once you get it!<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> **SPOIlER**<br/> <br/> Solution: THROW it in the trash before you get a migrane! =]<br/> <br/> ** End spoiler **<br/> <br/> Anyway: Either I'm too dumb to figure this puzzle out, or this puzzle is way...

I would appreciate it if the new CSBuild comments, suggestions, and discussions from the previous "80+ number of replies" thread be focused to this thread. I apologize for anyone who would rather have it "all in one bundle for reference", but my macintosh computer (laugh it up) n...

Why not allow for editing of "how" the monsters are placed, but not prohibiting abnormal possibilities? For instance, allow someone to place 3 worms on a tile, but give a warning (not one that pops up, or has at least the option to "ignore this error from now on"). This way your ...

the random dungeon thing was a joke... heheh =]

then again maybe its just 4:20 gettin to ya.

Paul, any chance that you can make a "random dungeon" feature like diablo?

Of course, having random puzzles could be hard, but someone like yourself surely has enough time and initiative to make a random dungeon generator!

hEHhehEhehEhehEhEhe, im just kidding!

Sphenx, I don't know if you've tried it or not, but in my alpha version editor that i was working until my pc died (new parts in the mail) could open DM2 dungeon.dat files perfectly fine. The only difference between the format is that it uses one additional tile type (which i do not know the functio...

"I am sitting on MIRC / QuakeNet / #snevets pretty much 7/24." A group of us idle at quakenet.org #dungeonmaster, although I won't be for awhile I'd advise questions be posted on the forums, therefore since everyone can view it anytime, only one answer is required for each question. -rain`

Were DSA's a feature built into CSB or did you implement that in CSB4win only? DSA's as an idea are downright heavenly, but I only hope that after implementing DSA's, its still possible to convert the new dungeon.dat files for use with any other CSB/DM client then CSB4win. Also, The concepts of DSA'...

use the horn of fear for the scorpions, most people overlook the usefulness of it =]

knightmare, the computer game, was a fun game... It'd beinteresting to play it again, does anyone here have a version that may work with windows and/or an emulator?

ahhh, memories... listening to black sabbath and playing knightmare/powermonger.. those were the days!

Interesting bug nonetheless, but if a mummy is facing to the right (from players perspective) and 3 rooms away, it draws the image mirrored (looks like its facing left instead). A good example is to walk around the mummy-horn of fear area in CSB and move back and forth. The image will apear to mirro...

About the directory entry information:

Why is there over 10000 entries in the "directory file" (first extracted file), but yet only around 5000 files in the graphics.dat file?

I've been tryin to figure that out, but im stumped!

<t>About the time spent to time saved theory:<br/> <br/> I totally agree, which is why i stick to visual basic for creating apps like that (It is, by definition, "ease of use"). But my suggestion is that if it takes 9 hours to make the "fill tools" etc that you say aren't worth your time, then I'd s...

<t>Undo, copy, paste, cut:<br/> <br/> I was referring to the actual tile editing actually, for example, you can cut a tile, and you cut everything about it, making it a strict wall. If you paste, it will paste that tile anywhere, including monsters in it, items in it, type of tile, teleporter, door,...

<t>Make it easier!<br/> <br/> My thoughts about a great editor is ease of use, functionality, and quickness (in that order). If you have functionality but shitty ease of use/quickness, you may as well hex edit the dungeon =[<br/> <br/> Here are some ideas for "ease of use" for CSBuild:<br/> <br/> 1)...

Wil: As for the Diamond edge being the same in both DM and CSB, i cannot guarantee that. Theres a lot of very small differences between the 2 games (i.e, the power of the fireballs shot by dragons), and i can only guess since i haven't looked into the DM graphics.dat RAW files at all. But as for whe...
