DM -> CSB
Hello everyone,
I just finished DM with CSBLinux (Thanks again for your work Paul !) and I'd liked to use my savegame to play to chaos (17 years after my last attempts...). The problem is : I can't manage to import the DAT file from DM into CSB. Every time I try, it gives me an error. Is there a file format problem ? What am I doing wrong ?
PS : I know I could start in the prison and select a new party, I just want to use my DM savegame
Thank you all !

It is supposed to work like this:
When you use the 'Utility' to specify a
save game, you specify a save game from your
DM game. Your characters are then imported
from your DM play into the CSB dungeon.
If that is what you have done and it does
not work then you will need to send me
your DM save game so that I can fix it.

Well, I used the same version all along: it didn't changed during the few days I played
Thanks for the welcoming beowuuf.
Short : I moved the DAT file into the modules/chaos strikes back-atari/ directory, launch ./CSBLinux, went to "Utility", selected the corresponding file and... "Saved game error".
I also naively tried to "Resume" it, but Chaos launched it normally : into the DM environment ! That was evident, but somewhat disturbing for someone who always played the games with his "distinct" Atari disks
Paul, I just sent you the saved game, maybe there's something you can do...

Hmmmmm. Perhaps something is wronglaunch ./CSBLinux
with ./CSBLinux. I don't run Linux here.
Only CSBwin.exe in Windows.
At any rate. I took your save game 'CSBGAME.DAT'
and put it into a directory with 'config.txt', 'mini.dat',
'CSBwin.exe' (version 9.957 available at:
http://www.dianneandpaul.net/CSBwin/
I then started CSBwin.exe, used the utility
functions to create a new game, and ran it just fine.
As I say, if the Linux version does not work then
we need to talk to the folks who created it.
As a possible workaround, I have posted the new
game I created as ImportProblem.zip
It worked !
I tried the file you sent me back and it worked !
I'm gonna get back to my old addiction...
Thank you Paul ![/b]

Flubb:
just curious: what stats does your characters had when you finished DM and imported them into CSB?
