Trouble importing characters
Hi,
First off, congratulations on the site. These forums and your websites look to be one of the best classic RPG resources out there.
Recently I got the urge to play through the Gold Box Forgotten Realms games again. Started with Pool of Radiance and the goal is to make it through Pools of Darkness. I'm using doxbox to run them
Pool of Radiance went fine. Then I transferred one of my characters to Hillsfar, which also went fine. Transferred the one character from Hillsfar and three characters from Pool of Radiance to Curse of the Azure Bonds, and created a new paladin and ranger to round out the party. All went well.
But now I've installed Secret of the Silver Blades but cannot transfer my characters from Curse of the Azure Bonds. At the main menu, I select to add a character from Curse and it just flashes back to the main menu, no options on actually adding any of my Curse characters. I've tried playing around with what directory my saved characters are in, and they're all removed from my Curse adventuring party, so I'm running out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Trouble importing characters
Never mind! Some more fiddling around and I finally figured it out!

Re: Trouble importing characters
Welcome Nona1! 
Glad you were able to get your characters transfered over to Secret of the Silver Blades!
When you get to Pools of Darkness, there's a link on the Pools of Darkness thread on these forums that have an unofficial walkthrough which contains a map of "Dave's Challenge" (the final bonus quest) at the end of PoD.
Happy adventuring!

Re: Trouble importing characters
Thanks sokolkeep, I'll keep you informed!
Last time I played the series--oh about a decade ago(!)--Pools of Darkness is as far as I made it. I could never beat the spiders, Kilistris (sp). There were a lot of D&D rules I didn't know at the time, like I knew nothing about the concept of dual classing. So I'm hoping for a tougher party this time around.
Still, I'm not sure what my timeline will be on the games. Although I'm playing pretty feverishly now, I do play to buy the expansion to Neverwinter Nights 2 on release day, and I'll be doing a LOT of playing of that.
Incidentally, if you're a NWN2 fan, there's a great community module available that recreates Pool of Radiance. No word as to whether the author has any intention of creating the rest of the Gold Box games.

Re: Trouble importing characters
Sounds good! Keep us informed + post whatever new info you have!
I've played through the Pool of Radiance series through Pools of Darkness but have never gotten through the bonus quest "Dave's Challenge".
I actually haven't played any of the new Neverwinter Nights games, though they look mighty cool! especially with the Pool of Radiance mod.
I got all caught up within a game called "The Devil Whiskey", and have focused my efforts there. I made a Devil Whiskey mod called "The Basement" which has been included in the "Devilwhiskey Mega-Mod" that Rickstavern has put together.
Maybe someday I'll get around to the new Neverwinter Nights sometime.

 Re: Trouble importing characters
What is the current status of Xoram's Tower? You may as well do a little advertising of your stuff for DW here.

Re: Xoram's Tower
The docks are completed.
This past weekend, I've linked some of the levels of the tower together with scripts and created some of the plot scripts for the lower levels of the tower + a few battles. Will be a bit of kill the bad guy, take the item, move on to next level.
