Hold Management Screen

The Hold Management screen is reached by choosing "Change Location" from the Main Menu or clicking "Manage" from the Level Editor. This screen shows a list of all the loaded holds. Select one to view the hold description and the current player's progress in the hold. Holds beaten by the current player are marked with the percentage of hold secrets found and conquered by the player. Hold names are colored differently based on what DROD version they were authored in. The following options are available:

Okay - selects the highlighted hold for play.

Cancel - returns to the previous screen, leaving the selected hold unchanged.

Export - saves the selected hold to disk.  This option is available for any holds you author in the Level Editor. It allows you to share your levels with other players by giving them the file saved to disk and having them import it into their DROD installation.

Import - loads a DROD hold data file from disk.  This allows you to load or recover exported holds or upgrade existing holds. Note that when a hold is upgraded to a newer version, room solutions might be changed, or rooms or levels removed altogether, making existing saved games potentially invalid.

Delete Hold - permanently removes a hold from your DROD installation.  This will remove all players' saved games and demos for this hold as well, so make sure you are serious about doing this.

Download - CaravelNet subscribers with an Internet connection may take advantage of our special system for acquiring and installing official holds and published fan-made holds and hold upgrades directly from the official web site. Downloadable online holds not yet installed into your copy of DROD will be listed in gray letters. Select a gray hold text to view hold stats and ratings. Click "Download" to download and install the selected hold. Holds marked as "Updated!" may also be downloaded. This will upgrade the currently installed version of the hold.

Hold filter - Scroll through the options in the Hold Filter to select a subset of holds to display in the list by type.

CaravelNet - CaravelNet subscribers may rate holds to provide feedback to other players. You may also sort the list of CaravelNet holds in the display by scoring and other criteria.
