Thanks for the info I will try these changes tonight and look for the new code for DosBox as well. You've been very helpful. 😀

There is a newer version of DosBox than 63? I thought that was the new one. I'll check it out when I get home. Will also play around with changing it to full or normal and upping the cycles to about 10,000 and see what that does for me. As for the unreadable files are you talking about my post from …

Are the files set to read-only? You can probably also run fixmaps (I think that's what it's called) from a WinXP NTVDM command prompt. They shouldnt be read only because I was finally able to get it to install off the CD (duh forgot when mounting D: to make it a CDROM drive and tell it to usecd 0). …

Ok looks like I got it installed and can get it to play. Only problem I have run into now is when running the patch and trying to correct the duplicate names on the maps I get unrecoverable error messages in Dosbox and illegal read of file messages in the background window that loads with DosBox.. …

Sweet! That worked! 😀 Now if I can just get the rest to work when it installs we will be golden. 😀 DosFreak wrote: Yeah, DosBox only shows about 110mb of space for older games. […] Show full quote Yeah, DosBox only shows about 110mb of space for older games. You need to use the -freesize (mb) …

I edited my original post with some more issues including the command line I am using the launch Dosbox. I have Dosbox 63 installed. I am now able to launch the install process but it does not think I have any space left on my hard drive to even install the min installation.

Ok ran into a snag. I was unable to install the game from either Win XP or from Dosbox. When I tried from Win XP (doing the auto run) it would just go to a black screen and hang. If I did it from DosBox using the Install.exe it would give me file transfer errors in the background box of Dosbox for …

I think the problem (if you can call it that) is that Bethesda is way better at making gigantic, open worlds for people to explore than they are at making compelling stories for players to follow in those worlds. They should make a game like EQ or WoW then. :) Would probably be good at it if they …

You have been very helpful. :) I've been wanting to get back into this game because I loved the open ended nature of it. :) Can start as one type of character and modify yourself to become so much more. :) I dont think I did very many of the plot missions when I was first playing this game. Just did …

Also, I think you can have the game to a full install. Be SURE to install the latest patch - the game is VERY buggy! . yeah I know. :) I assisted the lead programmer post release for about 2 months generating error logs for him. :)Would have kept working but he got pulled away on another project. …

So if I am getting this all right to make the game work you need to: Set core to dynamic Mount the CD rom Add the type in z.cfg to dfall_huge and fiddle with the framerate or something in the game with Ctrl-12? (is that right?) What about installing? Install from Dosbox or Win XP? Now do you also …

OK I will try the parameter for WinXP and see if that works. I tried the parameters in the ravager.bat file for getting rid of the into but that did not appear to work. Has anyone had problems with the game being really jerky in its movements? At first I thought it was because I have an optical …
Re: dark sun 2: wake of the ravager
Posted on 2005-01-13, 20:48
I got the game to run, it is a little (a lot actually) choppy in the movement of the characters and the movement of the mouse but it works. And I found a parameter to add to the batch file so that the intro does not play, that way I wont have to listen to it and then watch it before the main menu …

NM that. I was running DSUN not Ravager. It is working but very strangely. The opening movie sound came on but the screen was blank. Then after that was done the movie played without sound. Only thing I can think is that I chose to load the video and sound at the time of install and not "When …

I am having troubles getting the game to run as well, I get "file not found path = " followed by a long string of ascii characters The command I am using for dosbox to run is C:\DOSBox-0.63\dosbox.exe -fullscreen -c "MOUNT C C:\RAVAGER" -c "MOUNT d d:\ -t cdrom" -c "C:" I've even tried taking out …

Ok so just put any data CD into my burner and it should go correctly? Could work because I did actaully have a data CD in my DVD drive but my burner (E:) was empty. I will try that. :) Woohoo it appears to be working! On disk 2 of 7 now! Now to download that Exult project and I am in business, or …

Re: Ultima 7
Posted on 2003-12-21, 20:37
Exult (exult.sourceforge.net)is PROBABLY a better solution overall. It is a recreation of the Ultima 7/Serpent Isle engine that uses the original data files. Might be a dumb question but will ask anyway. This Exult program only works if you can get the game to install in the first place correct? I …

I am actually having a different problem with the same series. I am trying to install it and it fails on me. I dont have the game on CD, I have it from when it was on 3.5 floppies and it will not read anything after the first disk. I use the following command to start Dosbox dosbox -fullscreen -c " …
