It\'s possible that you missed one of the 4 beginning rooms. Fortunately, you can go back through a passage to get to them. It\'s not too obvious at first though.

That\'s the full list of rooms in level 8. I\'d check all of the again to make sure you didn\'t leave one accidently unfinished, (on some of the more crowded ones, it\'s hard to see using the map), then I\'d report this as a bug.

Is it possible to link the room number, like (52,852), to the room checklist that was posted here? I don't know the rooms by the directions listed.

Thanks,
Jim J.

jjohn--the room numbers you listed are for the old, Webfoot DROD. There has been a new version for a while, called Caravel DROD, which describes the rooms by directions from the entrance. Unfortunately, the saved games are not compatible between the two, but if you are only on level 8 it is probably worth downloading the newer version. I highly recommend it; the best new feature is the introduction of checkpoints in certain rooms that let you save in the middle of that room, instead of having to start over from the very beginning. You can get it from the main www.drod.net page, click on Download DROD.

In addition, the "Architect's Edition" of Caravel DROD is almost out of beta, and hopefully the final version will be released soon (like this week, if we are lucky). But it is easy to import your player from the original Caravel DROD, so you don't have to worry about that.

Finally, I suppose somewhere there exists a conversion between Webfoot and Caravel coordinates, but I don't know where that would be.

Game on,

Thanks, I'll have to look into that version. Sure it may sound easy to get to level 8 again, but I had a hard time on level 7 for a while.

Thanks, for the reply.
Jim J. :)

Well, it's better than if you were on level 24 or something...better by a long shot. :D
