ROS pit in DDD

Post by Nickman »

I can't get that damn pit in the northern part of the DDD to open so I can continue the ROS path. I pressed the button the floor below to turn off the teleporter and I clicked something on that eye two floors below. What else do I have to do?

I know this problem been covered before, but I can't seem to locate the thread or the files that you guys are referring to. Please lend a hand if you know what the deal is here. Links to the solution in threads/files would be great. Thanks!

i cant exactly tell what i did, but when i arrived there, the pit was closed (i did ku-neta-ros-dain). i had even bet the old fulyarace time (the one before antman), but didnt record :)

btw: maybe i join the race, after looking some demos, i can say than i can walk around and manipulate things in about antman's speed :)
lets have a try someday.

mfg,

You can download it on this site somewhere if i'm correct!?

I did dl it from somewhere overhere, or a link from this site to the movie.

It's a 50 minutes watch, but it sure is cool!

You should really watch more than one of the 'movies'. They
are actually quite different in philosophy. We would very much like
to see someone else's solution, even if it is not a record. So far
only Guillaume, Anthony, and I have actually set records. Why don't
you try it with four champions.....we need new blood. Oooops...no
pun intended.

What do you mean "i cant record"?

I'm guessing that you are saying that for some reason
you are unable to record the game. Is this because you
are not using the Windows version of CSB? Or are using
an old version of it? Or don't know how? Or it doesn't work?

If there is a problem that needs fixing, let me know.

I suspect you are trying to begin the recording at the
wrong time. The only time you can start is while you are
at the gate to the prison.... Where you make the choice between
"Prison" and "Resume". At all other times, the option is disabled.

Let me know if this fails to correct the problem.

you mustnt give out all your tricks, just a simple order, in which i should do all tasks like this:
1. supplies
2. junction: get keys in this order: ku, neta, ros, dain
3. ddd: get corbums this order: neta, dain, ku, ros (jump down the pit at ku)
4. rush through last level and sacrife corbums.

If you want a minimal walkthrough, go get CSBMovie14
from webpages.charter.net/pstevens1.

You can watch the entire movie in 23 minutes at normal speed.
It certainly shows all the tricks but you will probably have some
difficulty duplicating them.
