Do I have to solve this room in order to get to the secret on this level? I know how to do it, but it seems like lots of work figuring out the code by witch to solve the room. If I have to solve it a demo would be greatly apreciated.

I also have to find the code for a lot of the banking rooms. I have yet to access 5N1E, 3N1E, 3N1W, 1E and 1W. Any help with acessing those rooms will also be apreciated.

Edit: I found the solution to the puzzle, and thus also got access to

. I would still like some help with the last indoors secrets, though.

I'll give you the levels where the codes are hidden.
If you have disabled alpha blending, you should enable
it for this hold.

Hmm... it seems that you are missing a bit more than a few rooms
in the bank. Here's some more hints.

If you happen to be playing with a transparent tar mod, the DEWMC code is easy to get.
Look in this room:

Otherwise, you need to revisit some secret rooms, look at their very suspicious room images, and read the scrolls there.

Hmm. Well, this may be going a bit far afield here, but I am trying to install the transparent tar mod and I can't even find my drod.ini. Does it show up somewhere different on a TCB installation?

If someone would like to save me a lot of time, they could just PM me the code...or post it here, either way is fine with me.

What OS are you using?

If it's Windows Vista - any attempt to write into the game's installation directory (i.e. DROD.ini) as a regular user will be redirected to somewhere in your profile, but there's a horribly mis-named "Compatibility Files" button in Explorer to go to those redirected files.
