Hey all

I am finally able to get MC1 playing, and am enjoying it immensely thanks to the team at dosbox.

One thing I am finding, I am about 10 levels in, and (yes I have the CD's!) in one particularly tough level, my ability to cast spells goes out. It's not crashing, but when I select a spell, my mouse lights the icon up as if it's casting, but nothing happens. I die in a swarm of bees, etc. I have a save point just before it happens, this is the 2nd time on this level. Anyone ever had a problem like this? I tried the stereo 3d patch, but it won't run. I have the MC1 and hidden worlds exp. pack. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

It's been a while since i played the game, but i'm pretty sure it's a feature of the game. I guess you don't have enough mana to cast the spell. Maybe a djinn or another wizard is stealing mana from you.

I've played through MC Plus (MC I + Hidden Worlds) and MC2, with almost no problems. That's why i don't think there's a problem with DOBox and the game.

Thanks Addict. At my saved position I am mac daddy, and was about to lay waste to the piddling wizards castles with meteors. It's not doing it's "beep you have no mana" thing, but acting as if you've cast it, but not really casting. I may just get a cheat and finish the level.
