Beautiful colour! I also like the transparent pictures for each section, is there a shade of blue in them or simply a grey tone? Very impressive. Also like the top structure (very distinct, sharp font), giving it exactly the "edge" it has in the title).

Hi Paul, I played through the new version on the weekend and have made some comments, a few errors found that have not been in the last review although some of them already existed - do you want them in the Encyclopedia as a new review or privately via email? One of them is critical - a dead end, th...

Maybe there is an "in-between"-state. One possibility would be building in a password for each dungeon that only the designer knows, allowing him to give it only if he or she wishes (or has been proven that the player already fairly bested his/her dungeon) and enable the editor to read a d...

RTCED Request: Print levels

Hello andyboy,

when drawing the basic dungeon I would like to be able to print out the rough structures to be able to doodle a bit and thus try out some set-ups before actually implementing anything. I think it would be a "nice-to.have", not something of great importance.

Request: Armour strength values

According to be able to run a test about various armour differencies when being hit I'd like to edit armour strength values to be able to create identical conditions - so I'd like to put in a request for an edit object values possibility in CSBuild.

BTW, there is no version history yet (old & new release both have no version numbers), and you did not include the txt file from the first version - on purpose? With which version of CSBwin did you test the dungeon - 9.6v4? Something I would generally be very much in favour for: Including a list...

True, I also tend to hear mp3's in the background, maybe the sound level of CSBwin could be controlled with a parameter in different steps (3 or 4 should be quite enough).

I think the exitement for one version always grows when there is a new release including features that are new or spectacular. RTC suddenly having it's own editors (plural!) makes it a great source of attraction... and probably the target of some newly dungeons in development at this very moment... ...

It's not really of any significance, I agree. So do it or leave, I mainly argued because I enjoy mathematics a lot and such things keep jumping in my eyes automatically. But that can be ignored...

Not that I want to complain too muc, but the list above is not straight in it's increase. After 910, 1050 the next logical step would be 1250 and then 1500. (+140/+200/+250) Could you change that, please ?

RTCED BUG: Placing Items

Ver: Alpha 0.1 rev 0.7: When trying to place an object (I tried it in the object category: game), for example "Food_corn" and then changing it to "Key_gold" without placing the first one, the item placed and depicted is still "Food_corn".

I'd also say keep it. It's different from the behaviour before but allows some mutilations to the dungeon a player will have to adjust to. Since it does no harm... it's sort of an additional feature ;o)

Nah, shouldn't be that either. The test dungeon I had did not use any additional new bitmaps, monsters, weapons or any other objects. Got the same error message as Ameena and I started to work from the original DM dungeon...

Very interesting. This is my computer at work which should not be using more than a tiny fraction of graphic card memory since I hardly use any graphical tools at all. I'll check for the drivers and repeat the experiment. Thanks for the clue, this sounds like it might be a direct hit.

The white one has a lighter note although I'D still prefer the black header if the curved line would not diminish the letter perception - which it does, at least in this size.

Mainly DM and its variations actually. Chess, some relaxation card games or similar stuff to shift my mind after being too long in a dungeon. My computer does not like games from after 2000 too much *shrug*
