Guitar Woman that is awesome!

but I can't get past the "Select your Home Province" screen without getting some error now, and I'm really tired of fucking with this stupid program ;<

My guess is that the .iso is bad so I'll download a different one and if that doesn't work I'm going to go murder god for being such a dick

mew barios i downloaded it from your link because i have trouble turning down a videogame challenge

but it was pretty much like i imagined

mount d [virtualdriveletter]:\ -t cdrom
mount c c:\ -freesize 2000

run the install from the d drive, there was no problem doing a full install

and for playing

mount d [virtualdriveletter]:\ -t cdrom
mount c c:\dagger

switch to c drive and run using the line
fall z.cfg

the mouse didn't lock automatically for some reason, but manual lock using ctrl+f10 worked

you can also copy the patch in the dagger directory and run it through dosbox. i did, i don't know if it's necessary.

the game itself seems alright, but i didn't mess with it for long

Guitar Woman http://www.torrentreactor.net/torrents/1036223/Daggerfall-%281-cd%29

there's also the possibility of it being a bad iso, but there it is

I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP SIR
Apr 9th, 2008 08:23 PM
executioneer i always do it like that, it causes none difficulty

hey maybe you can send me that .iso /point me to where you got it (after i get off work @ 6) i will try and work out a solution
Apr 9th, 2008 08:16 PM
Guitar Woman I'm not sure if it really matters what drives you mount them to, I've tried "C" and "F" and got the same result.

It also tells me that mounting a drive as C is a really bad idea, and although I don't see what that could do I think it'd probably be best if I avoided it
Apr 9th, 2008 07:20 PM
executioneer not 100% sure if this has anything to do with anything but how come you're mounting drives as A: and B: when they would normally be c: and d:

maybe daggerfall is designed to disregard those letters since when it came out they were generally only for floppy disks and therefore irrelevant

Guitar Woman man, I couldn't even get it to find the game folder with that thing running


One problem might be that the program is too stupid to go into other folders that you haven't mounted, even if they're inside the directory it's looking at, and the Daggerfall CD has a few folders in it.

But again so does Tomb Raider god fucking damnit why is this happening



It won't even let me install Alone in the Dark

God fucking damnit

Cfr5 If you haven't heard about it already, use D-Fend with DosBox.

Dr. Boogie I actually tried running Terminal Velocity a few years back off the CD, but no matter what I did, I could not get it to run at a decent framerate. Which pissed me off because I used to run it on my old Pentium 333mhz with Win98 DOS mode just fine. Fucking computers.

mew barios look at the explanation of the mount command, the -freesize switch might help with your installing problem. the parts in the faq about cdroms not working correctly might help with your other problems.
Apr 3rd, 2008 08:41 PM
Guitar Woman No, that's for nerds.

It'd probably help though since I have no idea how to work DOSbox right ;<
Apr 3rd, 2008 08:15 PM
mew barios im almost certain that i've mounted a virtual drive as a cdrom in dosbox and had that work. did you read the readme :o
Apr 3rd, 2008 06:45 PM
executioneer fathippo why don't you get OFF crack
Apr 3rd, 2008 05:10 PM
Guitar Woman If you had read my post you'd know the answer to this mystery, retard
Apr 3rd, 2008 11:36 AM
Fat_Hippo I had fun making ridiculous amounts of enchanted items for everything in Morrowind. I missed that in Oblivion. Yes, I know you could still enchant, but unless it was a wand, which weigh a lot, it would only work as a passiv effect when you're wearing it, and wouldn't let you shoot any fireballs or cool shit like that.

Now, GW, I'm no expert...well, actually I'm a noob, but anyway: why don't you just get a crack?
Apr 3rd, 2008 02:23 AM
executioneer i've never beaten morrowind without cheating but i did have a lot of fun running around everywhere doing quests!
Apr 3rd, 2008 02:17 AM
Guitar Woman That's what I think every time I restart the game!
Apr 3rd, 2008 01:55 AM
Fathom Zero Normally, a character would have a specialty he is good at and utilize that skill to make moolah. Unless you purposely make your characters mediocre.

Guitar Woman With the exception of Morrowind I actually really like this series :<

If Morrowind hadn't suffered from the shitty dice-roll skill use system it'd be about 20 times more playable and immersive. I mean, it sort of takes me out of the experience when I stealth up behind someone and attempt to brain them with a warhammer, only to miss completely because I hadn't spent 50000 hours leveling my blunt weapon skill.

Even if I wasn't some sort of expert with the goddamn thing you'd think I'd be able to do at least a little damage if I hit them in the back of the head with a gigantic blunt instrument.

Another problem is that you had to do shit to level your skills, which never happens if you can't do anything in the first place. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand if I can't do anything, I can't go out to get money to pay other people to level me, which creates a VICIOUS CYCLE of me staying the same gimpy faggot for ever and ever.



basically Morrowind can go suck a dick while I play superior games like Daggerfall and Oblivion BUT THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE YOU DICKBUTT

Dr. Boogie And stop fucking playing Elder Scrolls games. It's like a sickness with you.
Apr 3rd, 2008 12:13 AM
Chojin srsly, burners cost about $30 for ones that can do dual-layer DVDs.
Apr 2nd, 2008 11:02 PM
Guitar Woman I'll try that and get back to you guys I guess
Apr 2nd, 2008 10:53 PM
Fathom Zero They're bupkis, buy one cheapee.
Apr 2nd, 2008 10:11 PM
Guitar Woman I don't think I have another burner around here, the one I was using suddenly exploded and can't read huge chunks of stuff in the CDs I play on it
Apr 2nd, 2008 10:09 PM
Fathom Zero Burn it. Work it.
