Playing tutorial tapes - how???
How can I play tutorial (or any ather) tapes recorded by someone else? I don't seem to figure this out, play button doesn't work and eject button says "no tape for this level" although I can se "Tapes" subdirectory under a tutorial directory and copying tapes to the same folder as levels didn't seem to help.
Thank you for your help, I like R'n'D very much.

The tapes for the level should be in "my documents", you will have to make a folder the same name as the level folder and put the tapes in that.
So If I'm playing the game "MyLevels" :-

Code: Select all
[My Documents]
[Rocks'n'Diamonds]
[tapes]
[mylevels]
001.tape
002.tape

Well, in this case it's intended, somehow... ;-)
What Alan described works well, of course. But it was intended to "hide" the solution tapes a bit, and to use the location described by Alan for recording own tapes (without overwriting the existing solution tapes). To play a solution tape (if existing), there is a little "cheat" available (people often ask for hidden cheats, so I added this one ;-) ): Go to the main menu, make sure that there's no tape loaded (eject any existing tape with the eject button, if needed), and then (blindly) type ":insert-solution-tape" or simply ":ist" -- the solution tape is then loaded into the tape recorder and you can watch the solution!

Your tapes are in ~/.rocksndiamonds/tapes/
Get in there, find the directory named after the levelset (e.g. classic_boulderdash/) and put the tape of your interest in there (that will be, for example, ~/.rocksndiamonds/tapes/classic_boulderdash/001.tape for level 1 in classic Boulder Dash levelset). Remember that this will overwrite your original tape if you had some for your level! You can of course backup it and restore it again after viewing the other one.
