Why aren't the old JTRH music for the levels included? I liked those, especially Devious.

If you own JtRH, you can copy over the music manually; it's not included in TCB for several reasons, one of them being download size, but also simply that it's part of the JtRH bundle.

If you copy the music over, would TCB 'know' when to play it in JTRH holds? Or would you have to specially set it or use it to replace TCB music or something like that?

I think you need to modify drod.ini - basically, copy the lines that associate music with styles in the 2.0 DROD.ini to the 3.0 ini (and maybe delete the relevant lines in 3.0)

And what would the comment syntax for the ini file be?

Edit: Furthermore, isn't the JtRH music integrated into a binary, not allowing you to just copy it over anyway?

Oh, apparently it is. Hmmm...

I'll bring this up on the dev board, maybe some solution could be found.

The new music is wonderful, and I'd like to play it in the background while I work. Is there a way to have DROD keep running (or at least keep playing music) when it's not the active window?

Speaking of the new music, there's one combat track that sounds vaguely Wolfenstein 3D-ish - what does the Morse code at the start say?

If I remember properly, Erik announced that there will be "Smite to the Death"-style multiplayer in TCB. Where is it?
Is it also possible to play in teams(or cooperatively)?

The SttD-style gameplay Erik mentioned is going to be completely separate. Haven't heard any word on when it's going to be available, but I would assume it won't be until some time after things quiet down a bit from TCB,

Those two giant orbs in The City, are they possible to make in the editor?

No (or more accurately, yes, as custom images, but not as actual orbs).

I'm sure that this has been answered before, but what exactly is the difference between the two of slayers, other than the portrait and the sound files?

You can place multiple generic slayers in the room, but only one 39th slayer without using scripting. But really, the two slayers (like the two Halphs) are there to allow for backwards compatibility of the graphics/voices, and do not serve a gameplay purpose.

Those giant orbs look to have pressure plates under them. That's what the script activates.

Okay, I figured out how to make curved land on the side of water, but is there anyway to make the water curve outward instead of the land curving inward? I can't seem to get a good looking pond.

I wonder why TCB is not featured on the start page of Caravel yet. Is this some kind of soft release?

Erik wants us hardcore fans to play it through and confirm quality before doing the official release. And then it will be links on all pages and reviews on all major gaming sites. And a parade of a hundred Stalwarts in your city, a simultaneous release of 382091 roach-shaped balloons, and fireworks that make out a giant Aumtlich in the sky! With a working paralyzing gaze! Free leaf juice for all! Danforth Strout will autograph your really big swords at the signing booth! Be there or be a pushable Sokoban object!
