It's true that there is no right-click for auto-command support, but you don't have to mouse over and mouse over back. You're supposed to use the keyboard shortcuts. M for move, A for attack, etc. Yeah, I understand, but that just highlights how inconvenient the control scheme is. It's not really …

Never played Deus Ex either. It's on my short list, but I keep picking other games to play. I think I've convinced myself it's a first person shooter, not a stealth/RPG game. And System Shock 2 was one of my favorites. I need to get past this mental block on Deus Ex and just play it. It's nice to …

You need to read the entire conversation before replying to it . I did do everything correctly, it was a bug in the dgVoodoo2 version that Dege replied about and fixed. That, I do, and you need to be a little more appreciative when someone's simply eager to help you. I even offered a potential …

I was under the impression that Direct3D is no longer supported in DosBox and from what I can remember, setting a game to Direct3D made the cutscene videos really small. Like a small square in the center of the screen. And no matter what resolution I'd put, it would stay like this unless I'd switch …

You're in luck: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=03882887639493488112 Your luck may run out trying to copy it back to the original disk, though, since it's the dreaded 1,457,664 bytes in size. I remember cringing whenever I saw files that size because I often couldn't back them up on …

If you think that the DOS version of Warcraft II is frustrating, try playing the original Warcraft: Orcs & Humans. That'll make you appreciate Warcraft II a whole lot more. In W1, you can't just select a unit, click somewhere on the map and watch him go do the most appropriate action for that …

Thus, I'll be diving deep into getting a perfect DOSBox configuration for WC3-DOS (with Gravis Ultrasound instead of MT-32 emulation, like I did with WC1+2). How'd you get Gravis Ultrasound working in WC1 & 2? Both games pre-date the GUS and I don't have the option for GUS in the fully patched GOG …

This doesn't exactly help you with getting it working in Win3.1, but, if you didn't know, there are actually two versions of the Technical Manual. Version 1 is 16-bit and for Windows 3.1. Version 2 (also called Technical Manual 99) is 32-bit and for Windows 95/98. If you can find the latter version, …

In case anyone else has the same issue and this helps, I've found that SkyNET has really choppy 640x480 performance in some older SVN builds of DOSBox and pre-0.74 official versions that I've tried. If it's pretty much unplayable for you, trying switching to v0.74 or newer SVN builds.

I get the same issues. Switching to DOSBox SVN Daum and setting output=direct3d eliminates them. Try that.

It seems as though you're running a batch file (PQ1.BAT) to start the game. Try running the executable (either a .EXE or .COM file) directly. It looks like it may be named PQ.EXE or PQ.COM, so try just running "PQ" from the prompt. If that doesn't work, doing a "DIR PQ*.*" and/or "DIR *.EXE" may …

Perhaps Scitech Display Doctor would help? I recall that helping run a few SVGA VESA games in DOS back in the day, and that seems to be your usage case. It wouldn't hurt to try, at least. EDIT: I'm blind. That's obviously not your usage case, since you have a Voodoo and are talking about 3Dfx …

This may not be relevant, since you're talking about the Windows version, but I was reading yesterday that a few people solved their issue with using a joystick in Strike Commander (in DOSBox) by making sure that it was the only controller plugged in and listed in Windows. There's a big difference …

I would try the various available modes for output= in your DOSBox.conf. Sometimes, I get weird graphical effects with games in one mode, but not others.

You don't need a DOS TSR to map hotkeys to something running in DOSBox. If you have Windows, simply use AutoHotkey . I've used it to map keys and mouse buttons in several games running in DOSBox. As an example, here's a script that I made to improve mouse controls in Dune II: #SingleInstance Force …

I just tested and neither function works in v1.50 of the original game, nor are they listed in the Keystroke Help in the game. Both work in the Battle.net Edition (v2.0), though, so it would seem that they're functions that were added later and you're reading material that assumes that you have the …

Personally I'd just use nGlide for this game if that works to you, there's really no distinct advantage to using dgVoodoo2. dgVoodoo 2 allows for forcing antialiasing and anisotropic filtering. I can confirm that both work and are noticeable (even if you have to look closely). If having those …

Also I can't get the Glide render working at all with dgVoodoo2. To get the Glide renderer working with dgVoodoo2, you need to copy the DLL files from both the 3Dfx and MS folders in the dgVoodoo2 distribution. I didn't really see any benefit to that over nGlide, though. I remember having a font …
