Yep. You got a couple problems there. Try this: ; ******* IMPORTANT NOTE ********* ; ; !!! Every number in this file is hexadecimal !!!!! ; ;************************ Documentation ************************* ;**************** COMMAND LINE OPTIONS and PARAMETERS *********** ; ; directory="director...

If you look down the config.txt file you will see that the qweasd keys are being used for other things. Perhaps you need to remove those other things; most easily by putting a semi-colon in column one. If that fails, get back to me again and I promise to provide a config.txt that is tested and worki...

I can't say I understand exactly what you mean by changing the settings in the dir You need to edit the config.txt file that resides in the same directory as your CSBwin.exe. If you are having trouble doing that then get back to me and I can help. Possible problems: 1) don't know how to use text edi...

Christophe wrote:would allow him to jump over the creature teleporter

Of course. You are right. And that explains why there are two
teleporters at each exit from the Chaos Area in Dungeon Master.

I finally got around to trying this. I downloaded CSBwin_SRC_20190702.7z, unzipped it, compiled it on my 64-bit Ubuntu machine using the 'makefile' contained in the zip archive, and placed it in a Dungeon Master folder with a 'config.linux'. It worked just fine. It also worked without the 'config.li...

I would be interested to know exactly how this happened. He could not have 'walked' into the pit area because of the teleporter at (24,39). I seem to remember that he can 'jump' over a single cell and thereby pass through a wall that is one cell thick. You will notice that the Chaos area in Dungeon ...

3). Your own unique adventure. Definitely.

A leisurely 3 hour reincarnate walkthrough I watched on YouTube with two lousiest champions "You" and "I" went to certain parts of Ros first, for example (downstairs, the mummy room by the torch, etc.). But this essentially requires intimate knowledge of how the junctions work I...

If I understand correctly, the monster attacking condition is satisfied (at least) when the monster is in the next square and is "chasing you" in order to attack You certainly may be correct. But if I had to guess, I would say that the bonus to experience depends on a monster having actua...

A few other observations on this training: after done with punching the black flame, once finished with training I had to kill it about 10 times with vorpal blades, it immediately resurrected. I wonder what that was all about. It sounds as if several 'regenerates' were queued. When a regenerate is ...

After converting the characters with the self-compiled binary I can now successfully play with the 2018-04-21 published binary. But I suppose going forward it would be nice to have this sorted out. I'm glad you found a way to play. But you are certainly correct. It would be nice to sort this out. L...

Amazing work. Amazing amount of work. Perhaps someday we
can package the source document along with the game release.

Hello, Indeed; and welcome. Where did you come from? ;-

I think this fixes the Import Character bug:

https://dianneandpaul.net/CSBwin/CSBuild_2021112101.7z

You appear to be right. We read four characters from the file but process only three of them. Hmmmm....can't get everything right the first time. I have completely forgotten where I keep my official source code and what sort of method I use to update and distribute it so that fixes do not get lost d...

CSBWIN is really great ..... thanks to the creator.

Thank you. It makes my day.

Chaos Strikes Back is great fun. Having played it once before, you should
have no real trouble.

I'll consider trying Conflux I think I can speak for everyone on the forum when I say that we are all here help however we can. Don't be afraid to ask. You might finish Dungeon Master without help but Conflux is a bit different and takes some getting used to. (Several people have finished it. I nev...

is it intended to start from a new party

Most assuredly a new party. But a little bit differently.
Check out:

Why couldn't it be Order Strikes Back?

Oh! You're probably thinking of "Conflux".

I felt like the puzzles weren't as logical as the original DM

The name of the game?: "Chaos Strikes Back"

It works for me now.

Phoenix has supplied, and I have posted, single guild speedruns:

https://dianneandpaul.net/CSBwin/Conflu ... uildDemos/

Each has a slow and a fast playback batch file. The fast playbacks take
about three minutes.

Paul can explain the actuator better than I can. Ouch! In DM or CSB these things are relatively simple. But in Conflux? Nothing is 'normal' in Conflux. For starters, that generator shares its location with !two! DSAs. They are named "fading generator" and "monsgen sound A'. The latte...

These were the number of hits I needed to reach Neophyte/Novice/Apprentice: 72 / 56 / 111 You may know this, and it may not even be helpful. But you can directly view the experience values by playing Conflux in a window at the smallest size. I have used this feature to get estimates of experience g...

Well, let's get this done somehow. I'll send you a private message.

I've provided Paul with four playthroughs of unlocking the guilds for Gando, Zed, Iaido and Leif. I'm sorry but I don't even remember what I did with these. Did I make them available somewhere? Can you point to them? I see one walkthrough at the bottom of: http://dianneandpaul.net/CSBwin/Games/Conf...

I agree completely.

Congratulations. You have mastered Chaos Strikes Back as few others have done.

Sorry about the crash. Hopefully these are relatively rare.

The important thing is that you are having fun.

Yes...indeed. Depending.
