that is, if both pics are of the same spot in the game

Whether or not it is the same spot----the floor is the same and the
walls are different. I think 'parity' of both is determined by the
same 'even-odd' function of location.

I thought maybe the screamer room generators were like that, given how quickly it fills up.
Also maybe the oitus room.

No and no.
Screamers happen when you step on the pad just outside the room.
Oitus happen when you step off the pad in front of the three doors.

would a creature be able to trigger the regeneration switch

Certainly.
This was done in a couple of places in Chaos Strikes back. Tidal waves of worms.
I don't remember any such place in Dungeon Master.

Any 'limit' to how many can regenerate?

No, not in the sense that I believe you mean the word 'limit'.

With my luck, it probably only allows a few rats in a given amount of time

You can fill the room easily. But the generator
has a delay of 127 (about 20 seconds).

Edited:

I have received a PM that indicates some confusion about my comment concerning the tiled floor versus the random floor. I think I can clear things up by adding a little context. Interesting that people prefer the original floor. I suspect nostalgia is at play here. For me it is not nostalgia. There ...

For me it is not nostalgia. There is no left, right, up, or down. It all
looks the same and is something I cannot name but will call 'uninteresting'.

You asked!

The original.....without a doubt.

Seems as if you have gone past the end of allocated memory. Whatever
the case, if the debug version does not work then you have a problem
that should be fixed.

If you like, send the changes to me. I have a lot of experience
fixing CSBwin bugs. That's why the debug checks were implemented!

I played it through to the finish without any errors.
Does the debug version work? If so, I would say that
you got it right.

If I can get the playfiles, I will tidy them up and post them at:

I wonder if the Conflux wiki:
https://dmwiki.atomas.com/wiki/Conflux
should reference the various playbacks available.

Local variables in a re-entrant function? Nasty stuff.

Crashes for me, too. Early in level 1 while fetching first keys.

See: http://dianneandpaul.net/CSBwin/Competition/DMAntmanWalkthrough23M23S.mp4 It was encoded at 320x200 15 FPS to save space. I play it with MPC-HC. The space bar starts and stops play. The left/right arrows skip forward backward 10 seconds. Control arrows advance one frame back/forward. https://ww...

It is 1:35 AM. I'll try to remember to do this tomorrow. If you don't hear from
me in 36 hours, complain!

The other thing that can be done.....I can make it into a movie (.mp4)
and then you can watch it with a viewer that allows forward/backward
skipping and single frame display. Let me know if that would be useful.

Which log file did you specify on the command line? (Or drag onto the executable?)
It appears that record00079.log is the last recording...starts at 13333 (about 37 Minutes).

I would wager the "Eye and Pit" puzzle works. Somehow. It might seem broken because: 1) A change in the design. You need to present some particular object, perhaps. Or the switch was moved to a different place. The "Surrender Your Possessions" demonstrates that the design was cha...

I quit. I played CSB for Android on my 7 inch tablet for about three hours. The first hour was spent learning how to use Android and the interface. It was no fun whatsoever. It felt like an Android program written in Java pretending to be a Windows program written in C++ pretending to be an Atari pr...

Would repackaging it with a newer CSBwin fix this I doubt a newer CSBwin would work with his playfile.log. We could try. Firstly, however.......I just downloaded it, played the "Play.bat" file, selected Menu/Volume/Attempt using DirectX, selected Menu/Misc/size x3, and all seemed perfectl...

Thanks. I am playing CSB now.

OK....I thought I would try this for myself. But I have run into two show-stoppers: 1) I downloaded Dungeon Master for Android. It works. But I cannot figure out how to open an 'Inventory' screen. Probably some obvious Android sort of thing, but this is my first experience with Android and I am lost...

Here are three thoughts: 1) Copy CSBwin from your DM to your CSB directory. 2) I just downloaded: http://dianneandpaul.net/CSBwin/Games/CSB_linux_x86-32_SDL20_20151212.tar And it contains a CSBwin whereas your directory listing appears to be missing this rather critical file. http://dianneandpaul.ne...

CSBuild reports wall switches as being operated by:
1) Anything
2) Hand
3) Special object

This particular switch is operated by 2) - Hand.
Perhaps The DMJ code interpreted this to mean "Empty hand"?

Edit: CSBuild reports that this switch has an audible click.

when I downloaded the CSB (CSBwin_linux_x86-64_SDL20_20180421-1550), I can't seem to do anything with the file? Well, I put it there so I SHOULD know what it is. It appears to be a linux executable. Just the executable....no game or anything. I imagine it was meant as an update. Go to: http://diann...

it must be a bug in this android version It seems unlikely that there is NO way to close that pit. Perhaps the person who converted the game misunderstood how this particular puzzle worked in the original. Somebody must have tested the game to the extent that each of the four exits from DDD is acce...

Here is what I understand..... You must visit 3(31,23) to move the rock from 3(6,10) to 3,(6,11). Then you must trigger the eye at 3(20,25) to move the rock from 3(6,11) to 2(8,28). The pad at 2(8,28) will then close the pit at 2(16,20). There are other tricks that make the skeleton easier to manage...

As I see it, You must first visit the Dragon Maze. Then present
an object to the Eye.

you should not see "Not Secure" anymore I am not concerned about this. But since you asked for feedback........ Chrome still reports "Not Secure". Detail says: Your connection to this site is not fully secure. Attackers might be able to see the images you are looking at on this ...

I have no idea how these things work. I am connected right now to: My browser has a warning saying "Not Secure".

But it has always worked, and still works, just fine for me.
