I've renewed my CaravelNet subscription so that I could import TCB (into either TSS or GaTEB), but I can't find it in the list of holds... What am I missing?

Is this in the Steam version of DROD?

Are you connected to CaravelNet?

Are you looking under C? DROD ignores "The" and "A" when sorting the lists.

Undownloaded holds will also be listed beneath downloaded holds.

Yes (see attached screen shot from the Change Location Screen)

I haven't downloaded any holds other than the hold that comes with whatever game I'm in (ie JtRH, GatEB or TSS)

Official holds only show up cross-game if they've been linked to your account. I think how this works is you should've got an email with an activation link way back when you bought TCB.

You can try contacting support, or PMing mrimer.

Then there's also the option of just picking up the Steam versions. These come with 5.0 versions of the holds by default. The purchases tab lets you claim steam keys for anything that you own on caravel. Also, steam's summer sale is on for a few more hours.

Ok, I definitely bought TCB... 14 years and 3 computers ago. (I've verified that I've bought and played TCB by going to the holds page and finding my Caravel Net records of playing it) There's no way I'm going to find that email. I have download keys available for all the other official holds via my forum account, and I have been accessing them over the last couple of months to install the games on my current laptop. I can't get one for TCB because there it doesn't seem to be linked from any of the places that the other holds are linked from.

You can try contacting support, or PMing mrimer.
Yeah, that seems to be my option.

I can't install Steam on this laptop.

Hi Stigant!

I actually am going through a very similar process right now. Bought The Second Sky (which I never played), renewed my CaravelNet subscription, downloaded some SMS's, stayed up to the wee hours of the morning trying to figure that ONE ROOM out..um, never mind.

But I just bought the Windows native app as well...

I will have to check whether The City Beneath showed up in my list -- I think it did. Probably something mrimer can sort out for you if so.

[ETA: Yes, I can view TCB in my Second Sky app as a downloadable option. So probably just an administrative detail.]

Stigant, try now, I did some voodoo but I am not sure if that's enough voodoo to make it work.
