Possible to import me DM chars?

Post by Rage »

Is it possible to use my Characters that I've used for DM in CSB?
I know it was possible on the Atari ST back in the old days, but I don't know if it's possible on the PC.

Coz I must say my chars are better then the ones I can choose at the start of CSB.

No it is not possible. But you can use DMute to create a party with exactly the same stats.

there seems to be some portrait concerns with dmuting csb portraits though...forget the details again...
Was unable to (permenantly) kill off ian_scho (Haynuus), Ameena, oh_brother (Westian), money (Falkor), raixel (Petal) and Lord_Bones (Aurek) in the DM D&D game Time's Champions!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE WHO MADE THE GAME WHAT IT WAS - GREAT!

I would not say that is it impossible, we just need to make an external programme for that I think. (again work?!)

I remember having imported my characters in the end of CSB for a "new adventure"!
As DM and CSB are in the same format, I believe this is possible.

Yes it is possible - if you're using CSB for Windows.

Play the DM maps, then copy your csbgame.dat file from the DM to CSB game directory, then play CSB and use the utility as if you've just selected the characters from the prison. Bingo

There is no csbgame.dat in the original DM.
But if you play DM through CSB for Windows, your savegame will be named csbgame.dat (because basically you use a CSB engine).

Dear Rage,
I hope this is of use also, when you collect items from D.M. that boost intelligence wisdom strength, save your game , transfer to C.S.B. and your stats will be enhanced permanently by the tools in D.M. a crown of nerra and a mace of order are some that help.

How do you copy Champion from DM 3.6 For Amiga to Champion for CSB for Amiga ?

I can't find any charater editor for Amiga games.

I'm using Amiga Emulatror on my PC.

Thanks.
