Using the CSBedit tool by Rain after extracting a graphics.dat with DMextract by Rain, you will get all the answers.

Wow that's a great little program thanks for the info man that's really helpful.

Sorry bout the overquoting.

Even Microsoft (they have more programmers than we) has only [...] us simple folk more interested in backward compatibility than in forward progress. Hmmm okay I'm just a young 'un I don't know these things. You are a programmer. You can use my code (it is open source) as a start to write converter...

Well, um maybe I could do it. Like I said, I'm a programmer and I hold a CS degree. What would be involved? I know absolutely nothing about your data formats or anything but I'm a quick learner. I guess if i were to help I'd have to start by studying some source code... I think I read somewhere aro...

Who will decide whether I've achieved super-guru status? Will there be a quiz?

I would have to devote my life to DM/CSB for several months to even begin to figure out what is going on Sorry about that. But.........consider the reward. LOL that's the most depressing part...

Sorry about that. It would certainly be possible to have code that would write a file in any one of several dozen f...

doesn't DMute include a character editor? Yes. If you want to edit an original game you should be able to do that. Well, maybe I'm reporting a bug then. When I play CSBWin 9.x in original DM or CSB and save the game, then try to load it up in DMute 1.4 it says 'invalid savegame' or something of tha...

1) The forum has a search function. The DM Encyclopaedia also gets updated to include information discovered or provided. (...) There was a post this morning in the RTC editor development forum that was removed. It had no body just the subject about there already being an editor. Yes that was me......

1) Ah, okay thanks. I was a DM freak long ago but never got into CSB. I know some of these questions are repeats of previous questions but I guess I'm too lazy to spend hours searching all the forums and archives... I've always hated forums for that reason. Lots and lots of information, very very po...

Also, howcome RTC has like 6 forum areas dedicated to it but CSBWin only has this one, which seems to be mostly dealing with CSBuild?
