Hi!
I have searched the forum about stonekeep posts and I have read all of them, But still I cant Get Stonekeep to work With My computer... 😒

I have WinXp pro, 2Ghz, Soundblasterlive, Gforce Gay card 3.
And Dosbox 0.61.

I have the install on my root c:\
And installed the game at c:\spel\stonekee\

I have tested this:

"Mount c c:/spel/stonekee"
"c:"
then
sk.exe

Im getting this problem:

Illigal command c:\data\sk.exe

I have the folder and all the files in my root where the game should find the stuff... butt why do I get this problem.

See this video if you don´t understand me 😀

Well that's an "interesting" video you present. I noticed that you mounted /stuff/ way. Which is more unix like then DOS like. DOS is mount C: C:\SK.
Also another thing, you must run Stonekeep with the cd otherwise the program has a lot of troubles undestanding what you are doing. I dunno if there is a ripped version out there that works without the CD and I gather it doesn't have the movies. I don't know how it would work then.
But from what I gather there's a number of problems that could be afflicting it.
If you do have the CD make sure you mount it like this example eg "mount D: D:\ -t cdrom" and also have the cd in the drive. I know it works in the upcoming DOSBox 0.62 though.

Very interesting movie.... Lol.

ok...
So I should use stonkeep cd and use dosbox like this:
-------------------------------
mount c c:\spel\stonekee
mount d d:\ -t cdrom
c:
sk.exe
---------------------------
Is this half right? =)
My cdrom is device "D".

I think you must run it with the parameter "win95" or something like that (as if you were running it in Windows). Otherwise it will complain about not having enough files.
Search the forum. Stonekeep was discussed a few times before.

@mirekluza

the /win95 switch only depends on if you patched it or have a patched version.
If you use the original version without the patch it doesn't complain.
Odd but true.

ok.. Iv have tested this:

mount c c:/spel/stonekee
mount d d:/ -t cdrom

sk.exe
Illigal command c:\data\sk.exe

SK isin´t working but now setup is working perfect!

Im still geting this damn line: Illigal command c:\data\sk.exe
And this copy of stonekeep isint uppdated so it is orginal, But I tested also with win95 string, same problem.

Well, here's a guess.

Edit the sk.bat with notepad or whatever.

Change the line: C:\data\sk.exe
To : C:\spel\stonekee\data\sk.exe

Now give it a try...

PS: Check if SK.EXE is in the DATA Subdir.

hmm Im not shore if Sk.exe is in my DATA subdir, can´t remeber it.
If it not there can I just copyt the Sk.exe from the main folder to DATA?

there isn't an SK.EXE in his folder. (watch the video 😉)
If I recall though. In the patched version it looked in the Data Dir for the SK.EXE.
In the unpatched version it booted itself off of the CD.
