Import PC-DM Characters

Sorry. I cannot find the old references to this topic.

Has anyone figured a way to import PC-DM characters
into a CSB game using CSBwin? I have been asked
via private email and have decided to take up the matter.

It seems like you could take a PC-DM game, convert to
big-endian using CSBuild, save it using the 'dungeon'
option, and then use the resulting savegame along with
CSBwin's UTILITY and a mini.dat to create a CSB game.
But I am told it does not work. And I tried it and it does
not work for me.

If there appears that no way currently exists then I will
try to fiddle with the UTILITY function (or with CSBuild) to
make it possible.

As you were. I got it to work.

Take the PC savegame. Load it with CSBuild.
Save it as CSBgame4.dat (WITHOUT the dungeon
option). Run CSBwin. Utility. Load csbgame4.
Make new adventure. Save as CSBgame.dat.

Run CSBwin. Resume from CSBGAME.dat. And play.
