I have been nuilding a new hold, and have made a layout of the rooms first (then I go back with the detail).

I have noticed that these levels when you edit/play the rooms do not show east, west,north,south or the entrance.

The entrances have descritpions. I was running 2.0.9.

I exported the hold, installed 2.0.11, and re-imported with no success.

I've attached the hold so you can see what i mean.

Ahh...I see this is because there are some hidden CR characters at the end of each level name. Delete those and the full line of text will show up.

Thanks for that.
Would you know how these characters appeared in the first place?

You probably copy-and-pasted the texts from a separate document file and inadvertently included the CR at the end.

Is this implying, therefore, that we could use CR symbols to intentionally remove the W part of our rooms, or, perhaps, even /lie/?

Perhaps rooms where west is east and east is west and NEVER THE TWAIN SHALL MEET!

You'd have to put them in the level name, so all the rooms could be First Level: once east, for example but that's the most lying this could accomplish.

You could replace all the room connections with stairs, then have each room on a separate level. You'd lose the level map, but if Beethro's compass is acting up, then why not his map also? (in the name of flawless consistency)

But then you could see the stairs, and this would become transparent enough that it would seem more like a feature than a bug. Not to say that there isn't plenty of abuse potential in building a maze of rooms like this, but then again, there is in single room levels even without this bug.

I don't know, completely removing the West/East bits could be interesting.

By the way - I just got this in Mozilla when I wanted to use the room selection of the Hint & Solutions board:

Error: [JavaScript Error: "unterminated string literal" {file: "http://forum.caravelgames.com/message.php?Action=SearchHintsForm&BoardID=1" line: 776 column: 24 source: "group[48][5]=new Option("Grounds: (location unknown)
"}]
Source File: http://forum.caravelgames.com/message.php?Action=SearchHintsForm&BoardID=1
Line: 776, Column: 24
Source Code:
group[48][5]=new Option("Grounds: (location unknown)
", "875")

which renders it unusable...

Looks like this has more consequences than just hiding the directions...

np: Plaid - Tan Sau (Trainer (Disc 2))

Go ahead - tell me your ICBM coordinates so I know where to "point my finger", so to speak...

(Sorry, I've been playing too much Civ IV lately... )

np: Bogdan Raczynski - Yari Chuu, Kyouroku Isuu (Samurai Math Beats)
