I do stupid mistakes. Many people complained about A dormant Menace level 8 not being beatable because the forcefield wouldn't go down. I did a little research and guess what! I didn't change the code in level 8 in order to match 1.02 commands! Way to go!
If you patched the game to 1.03 and had saved your progress in level 8, the forcefield probably will still not go down. Here is a way to get past the forcefield:
Find "options.ini" in the game directory and open it.
Find the line console=0 and change it to console=1.
Load your saved game and go to the room with the forcefield.
Press the T key. An input field will appear. Input the following line:
field_down(roomx,roomy)
This should work. If it doesn't, contact me. Again, sorry for any inconvenience.
