Oh my god, I hated soccer (well, every sort of sports) since I first heard about it and don't care about the worldcup. I'll be so glad after the 4 weeks are over and everyone will come down from their silly trip. Not to mention the traffic chaos, those smacktards will cause and the overpriced ...

Oh sorry, I should check my mails again. It's hard to recognize between all those spam mails ;)

EDIT: Okay after installing your new savegame over my old one I reloaded it and played for about 1 minute, before it crashed again. I walked on a floorplate and bye bye. I start thinking more and more ...

Oh I didn't know the "punching bag" trick hehe, but I wouldn't play with such tricks at all. Anyway it's nice to know :)

The only thing I know is, when you name your droids "Lambkin" they start with 15 15 15 Stats.

Was anyone ever able to run Captive WITH sound on DOSbox? I'm the greatest DOSbox ...

@Zyx
Have you been able to figure something out with the savegame and logfile I sent to you?

Hahaha yeah! And in addition to that we have to think about some really smart dialouge, which will fit the likings of todays player generation. Something like:

Zed: "WTF ??? Hlep! Teh screamers coming our way!!11!"
Halk: "ZOMG!!! W00t, I'll pwnz0r them!!1111"
Gothmog: "ololol u r teh suxx!! Let me ...

Ok I have sent you the savegame + logfile. I hope you can figure something out. If not...well, I get my new hardware in some time and that means a complete format and new installation of windows etc. Maybe it isn't a bug in the game at all, but it goes bad with my config. Who knows...

I think I play in fullscreen mode, since all I do is starting the .bat file for the resolution and nothing else. I never use the CSBwin.exe and never did. I open the folder and run the 900-620.bat (can't remember exactly) and the game starts.

Okay I will do this and prepare a savegame. Sorry for ...

I liked Stonekeep pretty much, it was a great game to play. I found Wahooka hilarious when he tried to explain you something and suddenly his face appeared in front of you, filling the whole screen yelling "Pay attention to me!" or something :lol:

I'd definately like to see one feature of Stonekeep ...

I'm using the 995something version of CSBwin, we talked about earlier. I will pause Conflux now for a while and play Towers of Chaos INSTEAD to have a look, whether it occurs there too.

Conflux = unbearable crashes, that spoil the fun, stopped playing
Towers of Chaos = currently playing, for ...

After reading the comments here I decided to rather spend the money on "Prince of Persia: Two Thrones", which I hadn't the opportunity and time to play yet.

Tomb Raider lost its charm with the third episode. 1+2 were great because you actually had to "raid a tomb/ancient ruins/sunken temples ...

It's not a certain button, it is any button. It can be a button I already pressed 50 times before and I come back to press it for the 51st time and it crashes.

The button, which crashed me 4 times in a row (press, reboot, reload, press, reboot etc.), didn't crash me after I went somewhere else, up ...

@beowuuf
The problem is, Zed only once tells you the hint. I was there too and I missed the hint, but I thought he would say it each time you go there. I thought wrong, he didn't mention it a second time. BTW could it be he only begins telling you certain hints with higher priest levels? The 'danger ...

Didn't you mention earlier they are linked somehow with 1,2,3,4?

@Zyx - No crashes so far. Let's see how it goes today, when I have more time to play.

The fireworks door and 1,2,3,4 - I checked there after I heard the opening sound, but the door was still closed and the wall behind it was still there too. Do I have to be fast enough to get there? After I walk into the nook opposite of this door, the wall behind it seems to go away. I'll have ...

Since I don't want to add any spoilers to the normal Conflux thread, I'll go on posting here, when it comes to spoilers.

There are a few things I can't figure out at the dwarven forge level.

- First of all there is this 'One, Two, Three, Four' combination, which I've done several times now and I ...

It's not infinite food really, buy you find that large amounts that it could coun't really as almost infinite. Slaying rats for example at a point somewhere in the storage levels, where they respawn. You'll soon find out where. Since I started the game with only 1 character, food wasn't a problem at ...

Oops no, I got 994, but that's just another mouseclick away.

EDIT: Okay after installing the newest CSBwin.exe I was running around like mad on floorplates for about 3-4 minutes and it didn't crash. Let's hope this was the final fix to my problem and not another 'lucky noncrash-period'. Thanks a ...

Thanks I downloaded the newest version. I'll just overwrite the .exe and it won't affect my savegames in any way right?

Where can I check the latest version of CSBwin I have? I just downloaded the Conflux_IIIj.rar from here and started it always from the 960-600.bat file. I wasn't messing much around with anything.

The crash can't be reproduced on command. It's happening randomly, sometimes after 1 minute, sometimes ...

Okay I'm a bit frustrated now. The game crashes and crashes and crashes nonstop. At first I thought these were only rare occassions and coincidence, but now I'm happy when I am able to play 10 minutes in a row without a reboot. I'll try to describe it as detailed as I can:

At the beginning it was ...

I'm so bad at this game.

I get killed off by everything!

Where's the nearest Vi Altar?

I remember you saying something about training areas? What did you mean by that? Can you help a n00b out a little...?

*smiles and nods encouragingly*

I also was like 'What the....' when the first rat one ...

Ok after looking at the meaning of the runes it makes some sense!

I've ran into another problem, regarding the 'Altar of Love', 'Altar of Nightmares' and 'Altar of Roses':

- Altar of Love [Never mind, reloaded, tried something different and laughed ;)]
After visiting that area and defeating the ...

Can you find all secret words to solve all maps in Conflux III? I need maps to help me find easier to know where about in dungeon. :(

I only know the maps for Sewers, Sudden Death, Crypt and Wine Cellar so far if you want them (maybe others too, but these just came to my mind). :)

Honestly, I ...

2 spells are fixed and you get some feedback about your experience progression.

Seems the version is stable enough to launch a competition, if there still are people interested.

There is no way to upgrade to the new version with my existing savegames right?

I found a scroll with the 'Ressurrection Spell' which reads 'Zo Vi Ew'. How is Zo and Vi possible to spell in a row? You can either select Zo OR Vi but not both. Or do I misunderstand something?

Hmm, well I've not played Conflux but to me the answer that leaps out for me is a heart. Whether or not there's one lying about that you can use I don't know.
Oh and I'm glad you like the hints in the Oracle ;).

You are responsible for the oracle texts? They fit very nicely and don't reveal too ...

I was able to solve all the things I've asked before, with the help of your hints and the oracle. The oracle is really helpful sometimes.

I have one more question: There was a room with many riddles and I was able to solve all of them except one. 'I followed a steady pace until you took me out of ...

Hey,

thank you all for the hints! Today I'll try to figure these things out and I hope everything runs smooth now. Yesterday I couldn't because my PC crashed all the time to a complete reboot after using switches or putting keys in locks it was so strange. I wasn't able to play 5 minutes in a row ...

Hi all,

first of all I'm new here on this board and I'm really surprised, that there are still discussions going on about such an old but fantastic game. Hello there DM Freaks :)

Second I'd like to thank the people, who are responsible for Conflux, because I'm actually enjoying it so much and I ...
