Re: CSB4Win complaints

Shortly. My friend in Japan has submitted what he claims is
another bug. He was right once so I am taking it seriously.
I'll be back but not for another 21 years. I'd be 104 and no
doubt some of my parts will be failing by then.

Re: SPX:Dungeon Crawler System for DM

The new zip file worked well. All the .exe files ran without Windows Defender warnings. The two batch files that select the executable do not work on my windows machine.......no such command as 'cp'. I changed it to 'copy'. Strange things happen when I run the game. Theron disappeared and Elija took...

Re: SPX:Dungeon Crawler System for DM

When I opened the batch file my windows 10 said:

Severe threat
Trojan: Win32/Wacatac.H!ml

So I decided not to run it until I hear more about what is going on.

The Clockwise Room, perhaps? Indeed, there seems no rhyme

myself even after having played this game a couple dozen times.

unclear how I can prevail especially given the hints here that magic won't work at some time soon. Do not despair. Things are not really that bad. Tiggy is built to throw fireballs and she will learn to fight very well as your fingers begin to do all the work for you without your having to think. A...

I don't consider that a fix for CSBwin's crashing. So if you ever feel
especially ambitious, I am willing to do my part to fix the
underlying problem. Again, good luck with your investigations.

I am "In the know" as much as anyone, I guess. But it has been three years since I looked at this program. I don't think CSBwin should crash under any circumstance. If you are using the latest CSBwin (20190702) and the latest CSBuild (2021112101) then I would like to have a copy of your sa...

Good afternoon, Christophe, You have refreshed my memory. Indeed, it was CSBuild that went to the trouble of recognizing all the various file formats.

I will attack the problem. CSBwin should load both (and lots of

Re: How to close the Pit at the DIABOLICAL DEMON DIRECTOR?

I downloaded and played that game. I don't think it is a very
perfect remake of the original. As far as I can tell, even the
Junction does not work properly.

But to be fair, I think it is advertised as "Early Access". I take that
to mean it is still being developed.

Re: How to close the Pit at the DIABOLICAL DEMON DIRECTOR?

You must first visit the hidden dragon level (Where
you found the Emerald Key) and
step on cell 3(31,23). That is in the center of
the open area with pits. That will move a rock
from 3(6,10) to 3(6,11) and is ready to be teleported
when you touch the eye to 2(8,28) where it will
close the pit.
