Over the weekend, I played Darklands again and started a new party. I had a good time, but one thing became frustrating. When night fell, I was in the city...
... Yes, if you do not mind hex editing the file. Or if you want to upload your saved game here, and tell me what city it is for, I can do it. (I don't think...
... Oh, I'm not *completely* converting. I'll always have a Windows box. But I thought I would try OSX out for a while. I need a new computer, and from what...
... My editor displays the local reps when you hover over a city in the world map. It doesn't allow you to edit the local rep though. I could add this pretty...
If I remember well, attacking the guards does that - regardless of your fame or even local reputation. After all, because the town likes you, doesn't mean the...
I am slso sure that I tried this once, quite a while ago now. I had a 50+ rep in a city, accidentally clicked on "sneak out past the guards", which then gave...
and I forgot to mention: if you take fair streetwise (20+) on one char from the start, you'll be caught much less often - saves you a lot of money; also...
... I played with it at work some, but .NET and Win95 just don't play together... ... Yeah. I did the prison thing once, and with sufficient saints you can...
... This came up several times (people being wanted with positive reps), but I was never able to reproduce it. I did attack guards once, ended up with very low...
I have never fought a dragon..I have been tracking one and I think I finally got to the right area..the music changes and i see a screen where it says there...
I have an OLD Darklands set with 5.25" 'floppy' floppies. I'm going to be getting an old laptop soon that I'll be putting Win98 on (BTW, any problems getting...
... I think you might have missed this one. Dragons are notoriously difficult to find. They seem to have preset locations but these are not marked on the map....
thanks for the tips...I would rather not cheat so I'll keep on trying. The music does still change in this one spot. Does it matter that my party is on horses?...
... This may be way off-target, but aren't there "fake" dragon sites or "dragon was here, you missed it" constraints? Might you be running into one of these?...
The music changes for all dragon sites, whether there is an active dragon or not. You just don't get the acid rain, dragon worshippers, etc when the site is...
I have a motherboard with built-in sound. Anyone with WinXP (or Fedora Core 4) been able to get Darklands to work with sound in DOSBox? Other games, like X-Com...
yes i did but i had to run the install file from dosbox to configure the sound card. I picked soundblaster pro and it works on my computer. ... work with...
Even if the dragon area is active, encounters are random. Within the area, you will get random dragon-related events - some of these involve the actual...
Is encumbrance working in darklands? I wonder why characters are allowed to carry so much and it doesn't really seem to affect their agility like it says so in...
... Encumbrance does work, but only on equipped items. You can carry 50 suits of plate mail around in your inventory if you want, and never notice the ...
... some tough ... Two things affect fights. One is WHO you fight. Street trash will never constitute professional troops. Raubritter's men and castle guards...
I think fame also affects this but I'm not sure. The very beginning with very low skills is a bit challanging. Try fighting an alchemist with level 20 skills...
Usually you want to keep the charisma, speaking guy leader when walking and the map to handle encounters. In most situation requiring some other skill the game...
p> one last thing..my party seems to be having an easy time of it with p> battles..is there a way to make the opponents tougher? p> p> Thanks. A good...
... Exactly. When equipping items, on the screen it will change from "No Load" to "Light Load", "Normal Load", and so on. There seem to be two styles of play:...
