Dungeon Master Forum

I just downloaded a '.rar' file that contains a speed run for dungeon master, how do i play it back though so i can watch it?

Thanks in advance.

This is for CSBWin right?

The file should be called playfile.log. Make sure that you copy the playfile.log file to the same folder as the CSBWin .exe file. Then when you run the .exe, select 'Dungeon' from the menu. When you get to the entrance to the dungeon, you can select 'Playback' from the Misc menu, and the game should then read the .log file and play it back.

you need exactly the same files as was used to compose the playfile.log (same csbwin.exe, etc)

Isn't there a way to change the movie that came with it or something like that, put the playback in the movie folder or something. Then click movie, is there a way?

Dn't understand the question, but the 'log' file that is created does need to be renamed as 'playfile.log' in order to be played back, and placed in the root directory with the csbwin.exe file

EEK!!! Good thing I caught that, I thought that was an old e-mail!
Well, you know how CSBWin comes with a movie? I want to record my movie, then be able to double-click Movie and it shows that movie.
Dees bettah?

Open the movie.bat file in notepad, and alter the directory part of the line to point to where you have your current game. If you have a seperate folder dedicated to your dungoen with scbwin, etc in it, then remove the directory part altogether. If you don't like the small playback size, remove the resizing lines.

So you mean by current game...the movie that I recorded?

Yes, the dungeon.dat you are working on, and the log files you are producing when you record playing that dungeon
