Please, can someone tell me what I should put for my drive letter and my flicpath so that I can have the movies on my harddrive instead of the CD? At the moment, I either get a black screen, or a working game with no movies.
The long explanation:
My computer's CD drive is the E:\ drive and for some reason DOS doesn't seem to like it. When in dos, if I do cd e:\ then it says invalid drive, but typing "cd c:\" works. So, my computer recognises my c:\ drive but it doesn't think I have an e drive. Hmm, odd. Anyway, to install Crusader: No Remorse, what I did was copy all of the files off the CD (in windows 98se) into a folder on the c:\ drive, and then ran the install programme from there in dos. That worked fine.
I then copied the movies and music into my c:\crusader folder. When I tried to play the game, I got a black screen as the game tried to start up. So, i changed the configuration file so that instead of "flicpath=\flics" it was "flicpath=\crusader\flics". (The cd drive letter was already c, I guess cause it hadn't found a cd drive or something.) So, i restarted in dos... and yay, the the game worked! Except that there were no movies. It seems that I had given it an invalid flics directory, which meant it didn't try to play the movies... but I want to watch the movies!
I've tried changing the drive letter, I've tried changing newvideo to false instead of true... but I can't get it to work! Whatever I try tends to either make the screen go black, or the game start without any movies.
