CSB Game Files

The following files are used by CSBwin when running Chaos Strikes Back:

• CSBwin.exe  (or CSBwinCE for the PocketPC). -  This is the program itself.
• config.txt - This file is optional.  It defines keyboard shortcuts for attacks, spellcasting, movement, and champion selection.  It can also define different arrangements of the video screen, although this feature is seldom used.
• dungeon.dat - This is a single-level dungeon in which you begin the game and select your Champions.  Commonly called "The Prison".  After selecting your Champions, you save the game and incorporate your Champions into the main dungeon (mini.dat) using the "UTILITY" feature of the program.
• mini.dat - This is the main dungeon of Chaos Strikes Back.  It contains no champions.  You must first select your Champions from the "Prison" and then bring them into this main dungeon with the program's "UTILITY" function.
• graphics.dat - This file contains all the pictures used in the dungeon.  It also contains parameters for monster artifcial intelligence and other characteristics of the game.  Some people have very successfully edited this file to change the look and feel of the dungeon.
• hcsb.dat and hcsb.hct - These files contain hints for completing Chaos Strikes Back.  They are optional and are only used when you request hints using the "Hint Oracle" program function.
