In the Level Creator, when I select an element and press the "?" icon, the window at the left says: "No description available" or something like this It happens because descriptions are in wrong directory and are packed by bzip2. They are in /usr/share/doc/rocksndiamonds-3.2.4/*.txt.bz2 And the game searches them in /usr/share/games/rocksndiamonds/docs/elements/*.txt I tried unpacking and copying the files to that directory and the descriptions then appear in the Level Creator. I am running amd64 if that matters. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run rocks'n'diamonds 2.Select 'LEVEL CREATOR' in the menu 3.Select an element from the box at top right, for example the green emerald 4.Click on the question mark from the toolbox at the bottom right (Properties of drawing element) Actual Results: The window at the left shows "Standard Properties". Below them it says that description is not available. Expected Results: A short description appears. For the green emerald, it is: Your basic gem. Collect enough of these to open the exit. Rockfords give off 9 of the appropriate colored gems when they die.

Created attachment 233947 [details] Screenshot showing what to press (after entering Level Creator). I attach a screenshot showing what to press in the level editor. The screenshot shows situation after unbzip2'ing and copying the description files to the directory, where the game expects them.
This is fixed in rocksndiamonds-3.3.0.1.ebuild Thanks for the bug report.
