A Question about Paul Stevens DM&CSB

Post by Daniel (Sweden) »

Hello Folks (and especially Paul)!

Pauls version of CSB was a big step for humanity and I was really impressed by his performance (I still am). The lastest version was a big improvement:

1. We can play DM under windows
2. We can largen the window in four steps (1x1, 2x2, 3x3,4x4)
3. It is now possible to transfer DM characters to CSB

I must say Paul, the latest step (transfering) was a genious move, and simple.

When I play the game I use 3x3 which is about the right size, but I do have a question: When I largen the window (at the rigt top of the window) and put the window in fullscreen there is a white line around the play screen - is ot possible to make this line black so that there only is darkness and the playscreen???

Thanks in advance!

Greatings Amber!

To be honest I dont know about the Dmute part. The Dungeon.dat file is the original Atari ST file (its no PC-file). But its worth a try. Its a real good translation from the Atari classic!

I don't think you can use dmyted dungeons...at least I can't. If it's me then i must be doing something wrong(or never got the dungeon converter program to work)

dmute couldn't look at it, of course, but i could wander around
Was unable to (permenantly) kill off ian_scho (Haynuus), Ameena, oh_brother (Westian), money (Falkor), raixel (Petal) and Lord_Bones (Aurek) in the DM D&D game Time's Champions!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE WHO MADE THE GAME WHAT IT WAS - GREAT!

You can use my Dungeon Converter script available here:
http://dmweb.free.fr/Forum/read.php?f=8&i=38&t=38
to convert PC dungeons made with DMute (Little endian format) to the Atari ST format used by CSB for Windows (Big endian).
