Skeleton Keys in CSB

Post by billgus »

I have just recently discovered all the DM sites and am working through DMute, etc.

Looking at the module for for CSB, I noticed item 8177 which is a skeleton keyhole. It says it destroys the key. This sounds wrong. I remember that in CSB, the skeleton key is never used up until the lock on the top floor that opens a side wall in the demon area. All other skeleton locks are not suppose to kil the key.

As it happens, I have been playing CSB until WinFellow and remember using the key in that lock -- and it wasn't taken.

I searched the file - there are actually quite a few skeleton locks marked as Destroy_Item.

I haven't played CSB extensively on RTC yet, but if what you say is true, then yest that's a bug. Only the last skeleton keyhole on the Maze level should keep the key.

Yep - this is a bug in the CSB dungeon source - it's fixed in the V0.20 version of the dungeon
