RE: CHAOS MAPS AVAILABLE.....Yes, Don, there are IFF maps for CSB on a few of the BBSes in the K-W area. I have maps for both games. If you cannot find them on any of the BBSes you are a member of, I could UL them to any BBS that we both might be members of.

Help!!! I had a set of hand-drawn (quite elaborate if I may say so :-)) but a disaster has destroyed (or rendered useless) most of them! Are there any maps out there available in either IFF or postscript format? Has anyone ever played Sword of Fargoal? Granted it is an ancient basic program, but had a neat mapping idea: As you progressed through the dungeon, it automatically mapped as far as your light would penetrate on the current level. How come they don't do something like this in DM or CSB? I always find the first time through these games kind of a chore because of the mapping involved, and then I play the game for fun once I have the maps. ..Don

The puzzles are the same, but how you get there is different. Therefore, you can't trade maps with anyone unless you both started from the same game disk.

I have all the maps for DMI, but I don't look at them until I've completed a level (or get REALLY REALLY confused!)

RE: EACH GAME OF CSB GENERATES ITS OWN DUNGEON LAYOUT.....Where did you hear this? Not so. There are maps for the complete game. They don't change, except that depending on the WAY you take to get there it will be a different access to the entrance to the DDD (Diabolical Demon Director) -- Stewart Mckinnon - via FidoNet node 1:221/171 UUCP : watmath!xenitec!zswamp!178.0!Stewart.Mckinnon Internet: Stewart.Mckinnon@p0.f178.n221.z1.fidonet.org
