Cheers Paul,

It now works fine!! Now i've just got to figure out which characters to pick??

The text was hidden behind the action (hand) bars. I'm running version 10.0 from you're website. I've taken a couple of screen grabs;

Text Overlap

Text is hidden ...

erm... Sorry, got distracted!

It sort of works the same... You can tap on the text to bring it to the front, but part of the text is still hidden behind the movement panel... So you actually miss alot of the meaning in the text...

Would there be anyway to (when in 'full screen type' mode) show the ...

Doh!!! That'll teach me to use the experimental folder on your site Paul?!?!?!

erm... Which one is version 10.0? I can only see a couple of csbwin10.zip's on your website, but they're for the PC...

The CSBwinCE files look like they versions are 201, 202, 205 etc?? I'm running CSBwinCE205 on my ppc and i've just checked the tapping text and it does bring the text to the ...

Ahhh!!!

Thats great, I didn't think of tapping on the text!??! That'll be fine - now i've just got to clear my diary for the next month (or at least look like i'm clearing the diary on my PPC for the next month...)

Hi folks,

I've just picked up a copy of Conflux III and am planning on playing through it on my ppc, I've d/led the latest (i'm guessing) CSBwin ppc exe - CSBWINCE205.EXE, at least it's got the latest modified date on Pauls website...

Anyway, I'm wondering if there is anyway to display all of the ...

Ah, downloaded the csbwin-csbuild file and it loads the ppc saved games fine!! I did get a couple of graphics errors whilst loading the programme and saved game, but it all appeared to be ok!!

Something i'll mention quickly - my pocket pc is an HP 1910 (200MHz processor), when playing Conflux II on ...

Hi folks,

Long time no see!! Finally found my pocket pc after moving house and thought i'd give Conflux 2 a go, which by the way is great... But we have a problem Houston?!?!

It all works fine on the ppc, but part of the text bar is obscured by the movement arrows on the ppc version of CSBwin ...

ok, i need some help here....

I've been trying to create a shop but am having a little bit of trouble. What i want is like one of pauls suggestions;

A room you can walk into with a bunch of alcoves, you can pick up anything you like but have to pay a coin for each item to get out... simple hey ...

Bummer about the loss of forum data last week... One post that i think got lost was a query about using multiple graphics.dat files? Is that possible paul? I guess the player could do it manually, play the game until a certain point save and quite then overwrite the graphics.dat with another one ...

Any chance you've incorporated the 17level mod to the pocket pc version??

Got a great idea for a 50 level monster...

ok, so now i've taken another 5000 ticks to get past the lone rock pile on L4, the screamers & the 3 rock piles... So 14 minutes, erm... i suppose that's not far off what it took, but it doesn't help that i reincarnated, so i was trying to ease the back two in on the screamers... and gothmog doesn't ...

Just a couple of points;

'Freeze Game' - this option isn't there is it? it would be useful! Could it be linked to the ppc X that minimises the applications? so that when minimised, dm ppc freezes?

Game Speed? I've just played through to the start of level 4 (worms), and almost got my arse whupped ...

@ andyboy_uk, No worries - spread the Gospel " DM is going mobile!!!! "


@Paul, Just a couple of minor things...

I can't drink straight from the fountains. On CSBwin and others you can click directly on a fountain and the active character drinks from it... But on ppc it doesn't

And is it possible ...

Thanks guys,

I think i also had a problem with CSBuild crashing? i'm not sure now... and i'm not at my home computer now so i can't test...

But i remember opening a dungeon (i think atari dungeon.dat for dm & csb), modded and saved, when it saved with even a very minor mod the filesize went from ...

erm... Well i'm trying to use CSBuild 0.817 but it's not going well!??!?!

Ok, i've downloaded from pauls site and copied the csb dungeon.dat from the csbwin directory. When i save with csbuild and copy back it works ok, but if i edit anything, save and copy over, csbwin gives me an "Windows ...

Storage card. I don't understand storage cards

They are solid state flash memory chips, you can get compact flash (most common), Secure Digital, Memory stick (sony) etc...

I've got a 256MB secure digital, SD card. It goes in the slot on the top of my ppc. When you're browsing with file explorer ...

Yeah, it appears to work absolutely fine from my storage card... I have also created a link so that it can be ran from the start menu or from Programs.

The link is here: http://www.appm02.dsl.pipex.com/csbwince/CSBwinCE.lnk i think you'll need to do save target as,

it basically consists of the ...

@Paul,

Works absolutley fine! reincarnated and entered the names correctely by the dm & ppc keyboards!!! Also ran fine from "storage card/wincsbce/", but will try a bit more testing tomorrow... just to check the directory works ok!!!

You'll also need the graphics.dat... and i think it should all be in windows/start menu/programs

RE: Keyboard problem.

copied the new exe over, loaded fine and the DM keyboard now works ok, but i still got nothing from the ppc keyboard... (it's the standard csbwin (windows) config.txt).

?

Sorry for the delay in replying... Long day!!!

What does your config.txt look like? Does it have all the
alphabetic keys defined?

well, i didn't have the config file at all... I'd been running the game from windows/start menu/programs with just the exe graphics & dungeon dats, then by accident ...

D'Oh!!! Didn't realise i wasn't signed in!??!

@Paul, The last Guest post was from me about the reincarnate thing...

Paul,

Looking good! The layout is fine as you've got in the 17mar exe, if other people can customise it to suit themselves, that'd be nice... But i'd probably use something like this, and if you can get the text to show above the movement (if tapped) all the better...

BUT... The only thing ...

Paul, just tried the 16mar exe - going well, it looks properly playable now!!! are there any major glitches you're still working on?

The main diiference i noticed straight away was the mouse pointer, in the 15mar exe it was static in the bottom left of the ppc screen and now moves to where you last ...

TA DA!!!!!!

Thanks Gambit37 & cowsmanaut!! Now on to the other 500+ graphics!??! argh...

One small question... the colour palette? i've noticed that the bmp colours aren't quite the in game colours (like the above, it was a ...

Can you tell i was born to the point and click generation?

So how'd you manage it then cowsmanaut?

Sorry Paul, where are the graphics on dmweb?

In looking i found some tools for extracting the graphics from the .dat the couple i tried either were sporadic in their accuracy or didn't work... There is one that said it could recreate the .dat after editing, how were the graphics for confluxII were ...

Does this mean you guys can actually import new graphics to this? Does that mean we can import new duneon graphics into this?

I was thinking about it last night... has anyone studied the graphics.dat? do we know where different graphics are stored... Or can we just have a load of bmp's for walls ...
