I have started on a plain-vanilla c++ command-line windows install program. I'll see what progress I can make to get *something* working, even if difficult to...
Once you have the command line version working, I could write a GUI interface for it if required. I imagine this would be little more than a "browse for...
The answer is in the manual, albeit only mentioned once, I think. Press P when the potion is highlighted on the equipment page. You must transfer a potion to...
Sweet, thanks. I havent seen the manual in years. I used to have the game on the 5 1/2" disks, now I had to download it off the net. Doesnt seem like anyone...
... sorry to speak up so late in the game, but I just ran across your group. I'm very interested in helping. Professionally I'm a technical writer. I'm also...
I just joined the group a few weeks ago, but haven't looked through past threads much. Is there any work currently going on with this? Just curious. Thanks! ...
Not sure what the progress is, but have you checked the Sourceforge.net home site? I forget the link, but it is the DarkWorld (DarkWorlds?) project. -Quadko...
... Very slowly. Bonfyre has been doing more coding than I have. It's especially difficult when we don't have any "real" graphics to use. The tools that...
I am getting close on the commandline install tool. I may just go ahead on the UI tool, or I may pester Jugglin' Dan and take him up on his offer if it is...
I still have time to work on the GUI. Once you are finished the command line app let me know. I don't know if I can do an install shield style app, since I...
... I usually close quarters with most people to prevent the worst of distance attacks (and wear it down slightly), and toss potions with one. Sunburst does a...
I remember really discovering the user of prayers in this part. You can easily get around without them for most of the game, but here they give a real boost. I...
I am not trying to offend any admins here, as i have looked through the archives for about 7.5 hours across 2 days for a resolution to this problem. My system...
Have you tried using DosBox instead? ... From: "jakebarlocker" <jakebarlocker@...> To: <darklands@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2006 7:28...
Well, the hang-up occurs when combat starts, you say, so at least up until then Darklands is running. Are you using the latest version? I think it is v483,...
Dear developers : EGOVSH is a new open source operating system is being developed at https://sourceforge.net/projects/egovsh . It is designed and implemented ...
... I got that too, no matter how much I tweaked the DOS system files. Eventually I gave up. Then last year, I tried DOSbox, and although performance was...
... Sorry about the trouble searching the site for the solution. Yahoo groups are nice but their search is not up to snuff... There is a known bug in the most...
If you wanna run Darklands w/out dosbox, try running Windows ME. If anyone's ready to load 98, than obviously DK is their first priority... as it should be. ...
For what it's worth. I've had very good experience running DL under windows 98 in VMWare. And since everything you need is now free for VMWare... - J ... From:...
how about XP?...have little success running it using Dosbox on my laptop. Fortunately my DL addiction is satisfied via my older computers but it would be nice...
I never had much luck getting things going in DOSBox, but VDMS worked pretty well for me. I think it might be a dead project but you can still get it here: ...
Hi, everyone That's my first post here, i've played Darklands several years ago, so i want to know if someone knows a game that's similar to Darklands on these...
There's nothing I can think of that's really the same. The Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series are decent RPGs that are kind of close. They are AD&D though. ...
