Transporting skeletons

Post by steveb »

I am playing CSB through DM return to Chaos and I am at the point towards the end of Neta where I need to transport a skeleton behind a grate enabling me to use my turquoise key. (on the maps this is 03 21 23) I can war cry or confuse the skeleton in front of the grate, hit the switch to activate the teleporter mist but he doesn't go anywhere. Any help would be great.

I hit that bug too. Sophia is seeing it in her Reactor dungeon too.

It seems GG added code to prevent an infinite teleport loop. But the code doesn't check that the teleporter in the target tile is inactive. So it breaks every place in the existing dungeons where a teleporter targets a tile that happens to have a teleporter too.

The Neta path puzzle includes a teleporter from the tile with the keyhole (the one behind to door) that removes everything so you have to do the puzzle again if you come back. The trigger is at some distant place - like the stairway next to the "DDD" sign. Just a nice little FTL nasty :)

Try DMute - with this program you can edit dungeons and savegames, provided they are in the right format. Available for PC, Amiga (and maybe others, I don't recall) on <a href="http://www.dmweb.free.fr">www.dmweb.free.fr</a> (cheers go to Christophe!)
