A little bug in CSBwin v9.5

Post by Charlatan75 »

Hello, :)

I think I found a little bug in the game CSBWin (v9.5). It appears when there are 2 following line-breaks in the text of a scroll. In this case, when you read the scroll, the game seems to replace the 2 line-breaks by only 1 line-break + the letter "J" in the beginning of the line.

For example, there is a famous scroll in the Atari version of Chaos Strikes Back that says :

-------------------------------
grynix
<<< there is a blank line here in the Atari version...>>>
ernum quey ki <<<no letter "J" in the beginning of this line>>>
skebow rednim
u os dey
wefna enocarn
aquantana
-------------------------------

In CSBWin, when you read this scroll, you can see :

-------------------------------
grynix
jernum quey ki <<<no blank line and a "J" in the beginning...>>>
skebow rednim
u os dey
wefna enocarn
aquantana
-------------------------------

If you check the text of this scroll with CSBuild you can see that it is ok and should look like in the Atari version :
GRYNIX//ERNUM QUEY KI/SKEBOW REDNIM/U OS DEY/WEFNA ENOCARN/AQUANTANA

In Dungeon Master for CSBwin, there are much more scrolls with 2 following line-breaks, and the "J" appears each time. For example in level 6 :

-------------------------
fireball
jful ir.
jfire shield
jful bro neta.
-------------------------

It is not really important but I thought you would like to know that.

If that is true it means that some attempts for the decryption of the "Holy scroll" will have to be cast aside or attempted from the start. *sigh*
