The fifteenth level still has one very bad bug in it. OK, here it goes. I bypassed Twice West in hopes of working on it later to pass the level. Anyway, I'd beaten every room EXCEPT Twice West, went to the exit (1S4W), and noticed the accessible broken floor to the south. Immediately after breaking that floor and entering 2S4W, I got the "Exit Level" triggered music and events, but I still hadn't beat 2W! Just to be silly, I went back to the exit on 1S4W and the blue door was missing, and it let me go down the exit to level 16 this way! Definitely a bug--maybe just put a blue door before the breakable wall in the exit room to fix it, or it may require re-examination of determining when a level is complete. Regardless, there's my problem. It is still showing it as that way when I choose to load from the DAT, and although I now know how to beat that room, I will keep it that way for now--let me know if you want the DAT file.

Unless I'm mistaken, this has been fixed. Now, each room has a "Needs to be completed in order to leave the level" flag.

If it has been fixed, then awesome--should I re-download the files? (Will this mean I have to start over? I'm on level 24 right now...) I downloaded DROD from sourceforge recently though, it was around February. I don't see any version or build info, but I recall it was listed as Caravel DROD 1.5 Final. If there is a new upgrade, then let me know; otherwise, that is what I experienced the bug under.

You have to wait for the next release. Until then you are on the honor system to go back and play that room. No, you won't have to start over--don't worry about that.

Here's an explanation of the bug you found and how we decided to fix it:
