CSBwin/Tools

Here you'll find informations on how to handle the various editors used for building CSBwin custom dungeons.

Basics

The main tool to create a custom dungeon for CSBwin.
Pretty self-explanatory for basic customizing, but needs a lot of patience to get into when it comes to all the advanced options it provides, like adding custom decoration, wallsets, monsters and of course DSA.

Usage is directly connected to:

CSBgraphics

Used to organize additional graphics, sounds, overlays, decorations.
VERY hard to use for the average dungeon designer. Lots of fiddling with file format. Very little documentation available.

ADGE made by rain

The editor covering almost everything concerning replacement of the original graphics.
Easy point 'n click usage. Also features editing attack names for weapons/items, experience gained when using an item, the damage done, attack combos, monster drops, the rune combination used for spell, aso.
VERY powerful and easy to use and fun.

There are some "candy fixes" by kentaro-k.21 around. The above link is not the latest version.

It is very likely ADGE will hang on file 561 when loading a graphics.dat.
Kentaro has fixed this problem. Download the bugfix here: http://www.dmjump.net/ADGEv02bCandy1fix1.rar
