Tile Modifier Mod

With CCmod you can dump all the tiles of Crystal Caves to a Bmp file, so you can edit them with your favorite picture editing program. When you're done, you can put them back and start playing Crystal Caves with your own graphics.
I've also included some old Qbasic source code of some stuff for Crystal Caves, including the source code of an old tile dumper of mine called Cc1dump.

From http://www.3drealms.com/news/2005/10/updates_for_some_older_titles.html

This news story will probably surprise some people. We've got an update available for two of our older titles, Crystal Cavess & Secret Agent. Crystal Caves was released originally back in 1991, and Secret Agent in 1992!

These updates fix a problem that we were made aware of last month. On some computers running Windows XP, if you played the games, your system clock would be set backwards 100 years after exiting the game. This patch corrects that problem. There are NO other changes to the game than this, so if you're not having this problem, you don't need the patch.

The games are now available for sale again in our online store in either floppy disk or registered download formats. We have also reissued the shareware episode with this fix, as well as patches for the existing registered episodes of the games. Here are some download links for these various files:

• Crystal Caves: [ Shareware Episode v1.0a | Registered Patch ]
• Secret Agent: [ Shareware Episode v1.0a | Registered Patch ]

A special thanks go out to Peter Veenstra from the DOSBox crew and Frank Maddin (Crystal Caves' original programmer) for helping out in getting these problems fixed, so we can bring you an update. A patch for a 14 year old game, that has to be some sort of record. :)
