Save Game conversion

Hi,

after having played DM for PC for quite a while, I noticed too late that it's not possible to play a saved game of the German language version (Multilingual v3.4) with CSBWin. I tried the Little/Big endian converter on the savegame, doesn't work.
Is there a way to convert the PC 3.4 savegame to and Atari ST/CSBWin savegame?

First try CSBuild instead of the basic big/little endian converter(see the general link in the CSB4win forum and download v 0.815)
If it still doesn't work, post a few more details about why it doesn't work (error messages, etc), and perhaps Paul can help you

I'll give you some details (if I may, Beowuuf :wink: )

1) Get CSBuild V0.815 at: http://www.dianneandpaul.net/CSBwin/

2) Load the saved game with CSBuild. If that does not work (which it should with a standard dungeon) the game has probably been modified at some point - please provide the error message(s) you get.

3) Check for errors (options menu) If none, good. Go to 4. If there are, try to fix them, otherwise they can -potentially- crash the game engine.

4) Save the file as csbgame.dat and copy it into the directory of CSBwin.

5) Load the game. If you get an error message or crash, please provide the error message(s) you get.
