I must admit, I've wondered the same thing too! You can recreate the speed of Black Orb Bombs by changing the Ignition delay of a CE to 1 (in config page 2). You might be able to recreate a gravity port by setting a CE to Passable/Over/whichever direction you want it to face (in config page 1). Then...

Are you by any chance using Windows Vista and/or an NVidia graphics card? It crashed for me on Level 20 too, but before I even went near a door. See the thread: "Random crash with Vista" to see what I mean.

I realise it's been many weeks since I said I'd upload this. But university has kept me really busy, and now that exams are over, I have plenty of free time :). Here we go: a folder structure for Diamond Caves II level groups. Simply download the zip file and extract it to RnD Directory\levels I upl...

Hello, and welcome to the forum phoniex28, if I may be so bold! I run RnD on a laptop with Windows Vista too, and it runs fine for me. Which levels does it crash for? I occassionally get random crashes with BD2K3. There is a known error with the Level Editor in that if you use the arrow keys to scro...

Hmmm, is the information on the dc2 levels page for numbers of levels in the packs not correct then? for instance that the Slk pack has 54 levels, the Z pack 50? No, it is my conf files that are wrong. Most levelsets have 99 levels, so I said "levels = 99" and copied and pasted, but didn'...

Davacardo, just as a suggestion, sinse you've obviously downloaded all the Dc2 levels from the homepage and put all the work into creating a handy directory for them with working Conf files, how about getting that hosted as it's own level pack on one of the Rnd sites? That way people can download a...

Spybot detects the "asycfilt.dll" file as SpyArsenal.Watcher, in case anyone else gets any false positives.

EM/DC2 Magic Wall compatibility bug

Yet another bug I found while playing a DC2 levelset. If you set up a level like: `006`001`001`001 `001`006`006`006 `020`020`020`020 `000`000`000`000 If the leftmost crystal is dropped, it triggers the magic wall (as usual), but also causes elements sitting directly on top of the wall to fall throug...

If you like, I'll send you a skeleton outline of the folders and levelinfo.conf files. It all works fine for me. The following works for me for a particular levelgroup: file_identifier: ROCKSNDIAMONDS_LEVELINFO_FILE_VERSION_3.2.4 name: Acrylator author: DC2 Levelset levels: 99 first_level: 1 sort_pr...

I know what you mean, but in that particular case, you could also just snap the emerald and wait a moment. Good point. Didn't realise that at the time. But if you moved the exit & emerald down 1 tile, you can see how it becomes an issue. It's also a problem with indestructible exits (if I remem...

Exit doors don't open fast enough

This is another thing I picked up while playing DC2 levels. I'm not sure if this also applies to EM or RnD levels because I have not encountered this in any EM/RnD levelset (yet). Basically, if you set up something like: `013`013`013`013`013 `013`008`001`001`013 `013`001`001`004`013 `013`001`001`001...
