Converting dmpc->csb4win (2nd try)

Post by sucinum »

ok, i lost a bit the progress which was made, because zyx is much more motivated in converting his dungeon than i am. when i tried to convert my prison, i found some errors, mainly clones or orphans, which are going to be fixed atm.
so what can i do now to get my dungeon converted? wait for .786? use/test .785b? ask zyx for it because its too complicated for one simpleminded dude like me?
sry, my domain is creating (was creating, there are "some" months since my last release...) and not the technical stuff. not at all.

The orphans cannot presently be fixed. But they
will do no harm. You can safely ignore them.

The clones.....You can probably fix them with CSBuild
version 0.785. Simply delete them. Then you will have
to re-enter whatever is needed to make things work
properly.

If you like, send your dungeon to me. I can use it to
create/debug version 0.786 (clone buster version, I
hope). I can also advise you if it appears safe to delete
the clones and re-enter them. This advice should be
available in a few days after receiving the dungeon.

Don't use the experimental versions. The ones with
the trailing letter in the version number. You can use
those version for experiments but not for permanent
changes to valuable designs.

Funny... I tried to convert some of the dungeons posted here yesterday and clones gave me a hard time, too. In some cases, I could not even delete them because CSBuild would crash whenever I tried to. If you want details, let me know.

As for the usual error messages (Amber): Except for the orphans (object warnings) nearly everything can be fixed in and with CSBuild in my opinion, I converted several dungeons successfully yesterday evening. If somebody wants them, I can send you an email. Let me know.

Regards, PitD

PitD, if you already converted "Imprisoned Again 1.3" or are going to do it, simply post it here:

Paul, when there is anything to fix, you can read here what i have exactly done in this dungeon (cloned pressure pads, chesting and shooters), i used the hexguide by beowuuf for any of these changes.
