Re: A more newcomer

And so it works! It was in fact pretty easy. Using CSBuild, you can export character data, which creates a 3200 byte long file named "CharacterData.bin" This file contains the champions portraits. With a Visual Basic script, you can replace the portraits by any of your choice, just by copy...

Re: A more newcomer

I definitely want to play with the updated graphics!

Guide for usage of keys in CSB

In my last game, I ended up with many keys left. This is partly due to the fact I've been lucky enough to obtain lock picks quite early in the game. However, I was wondering, during all the game, whether I should use my keys or not. This gave me the idea to write a short guide about key usage in Cha...

Re: A more newcomer

Thanks for the link for DMute. I did not know about it. Anyway, it has been fun working on the encryption and CRC of saved game files. Maybe one more question: is there any tool to import the new portraits of heroes in an existing CSBWin game? Let me explain... I tried with v1.4 and v1.5 of DMute bu...

Re: Favourite and least favourite level?

Favorite level: definetly number 1. It's easy but many puzzles and that's where I fell in love with the game.

Level I dislike most: the one with clockwise puzzle and scorpions

A bridge from Ku to Dain

Re: lockpick

If you post your latest savegame I can tell you exactly where to find the lockpicks. Hello Paul Could you please tell us how you do this? I'm desperately seeking the last pieces of the green dragon armor. I know that it is held by some giggler somewhere but did not find it yet... I am also very cur...
