Version 6.0 is out!

Post by ChristopheF »

Chaos Strikes Back for Windows version 6.0 is available on the Clones page.

What's new in this version:

- Fixed the update of Mana which occurs about every ten seconds. I had a test backwards but since it happened about fifty percent of the time it seems to make little difference.

- Fixed a very bad problem that caused my program to corrupt other windows on the Desktop and even the Desktop itself.

- I added a Command Line interface. To demonstrate it I have included the following files:
Demo.bat
Playfile.log
CSBGame.dat
Run the Demo.bat for a demonstration. The CSBGame.dat and the Playfile.log are designed to allow players who have never reached the endgame to achieve this lofty goal. The CSBGame.dat has four heros who have scratched and clawed their way to second-level master of everthing. (Lots of dead Oitus!) All the necessary keys, weapons, and food have been obtained. Even the diabolical Demon Director area has been tamed. It remains only to grab the Corbum and pitch them into the pit. A piece of cake. The Playfile.log shows how. Demo.bat will run the Playfile.log. Let it run at least ten minutes to get the full effect.

I just downloaded it myself to check it out.
It was version 6.0 (the clones pages says it
is version 5.0 but that is no problem.)

I entered the prison, reincarnated Toadrot and his
statistics were in the 40s and 50s.

I went back and tried all the previous versions. The
problem was fixed between version 4.0 and version 5.0.

When you enter the prison and reincarnate a character
do you check his statistics right away? Can you pull
down the Help menu and check the version number
for me please? Then if it still fails can you tell me exactly
the sequence of events that you do in the prison and who
you reincarnate? In fact, if you are clever enough, you can turn
on the recording and send me the record file so that I can
reproduce your actions exactly.
