A couple of CSB questions again

[+Zach]

I just had 2 questions...
1. What do Square Keys and B Keys do?
2. Also, can you take your party from CSB and play in new dungeons like you can with DungeonMaster.
And if anyone has questions about DM2 SkullKeep I can help, i've beaten it about 3 times.
thanks a bunch

I can't remember off the top of my head but I think Key Of B's open teleporters to protect you on the FULYA level.
I severely doubt you can import characters back to DM...

But of course you could record your characters' levels and attributes, save their portraits and then modify a save in a new dungeon so that the characters are the same as your CSB ones.

This may get me to use the Atari emulators again...
My impression is that DMute can be used to edit either game, and as such you *can* take your CSB party and play in a new dungeon, as long as that new dungeon is created from and for Chaos Strikes Back.
On a somewhat related note, I assume from the coordinate-based locations in both games that it is possible to create a party, save them in a particular location, modify the dungeon file, and LOAD those characters into that dungeon as long as the same coordinate can be occupied by the party...in this way one could make dungeons that are intended for characters of Adept-level or higher, and conceivably have enough food and interesting new stuff so that characters could reach ZO Master without the days of tedious whacking on rats this usually entails.

You can't move a party to another dungeon just as easily: you probably have to create and save the ID of all the items of your party in the dungeon file, which seems pretty complicated. Not impossible, though. However you can dmute your savegame and change the whole dungeon if you wish. I'm not sure it's worth the loss of time...
