is there any way to save while inside a mine? I know it wasn't possible with the older version, but thought I read somewhere this was fixed... Problem is I...
Yes, in the latest version you can save during larger battles, like the mines, the monastery etc. When you enter the area, there will be a text "Battlefield...
Hi there! Nice to meet you all, Darklanders! My name's Gonzalo. I played Darklands for the first time many years ago and now the fever is back. But, as you...
If you aren't doing so already, download and use DosBox to run the game with. It will ensure you have the memory requirements you need. Windows 3.1? I doubt it...
Hi! I tried using VDM sound to get music and such working, but it didn't have any effect. I think I was using it right, I installed everything and then...
Did you change the Darklands configuration to make use of the sound? If not, run the install program and select to change your hardware options. Allan ... ...
Somewhere in the windows directory, I think it's c:\windows\system32 is two files named config.nt and autoexec.nt. If you don't find them, use the search...
I had problems with VDM also; after a lot of experimenting with different sound settings, I couldn't get better than AdLib sound. Only after I started using...
Thanks a lot, guys. I'll try the DosBox and I'll also try the config and autoexec files edited. I suppose I'll have to publish them here but first I'll do my...
... Oh no! The music is one of the greatest things in the game, IMO. Should someone produce a Darklands soundtrack CD, I'd buy it full price! ^___^ Pretty...
For people seeking out a Darkland game ; my son in law introduced me to a great link. I have Darklands (purchased from on line auction) so I haven't personally...
Hi Jim! :) Just an FYI... While there probably is some great legitimate(?) "abandonware" on their site, Darklands is not one of them, since it techincally...
I also found a copy for download on www.the-underdogs.org - another "abandonware" site. They listed Darklands as copyrighted until a few weeks ago, when they...
I spent a bit of time writing down (and looking up) the random events that Darklands threw my way as I wandered about the map as a new character, and then...
For some reason, Hans Mueller is always set as a female in my quickstart games. I guess he cuts his hair REALLY short or something. Don't forget events that...
... They did a good job of naming a lot of things. If you can run DL in a window (and not have palette problems), and can have a "tail -f" on the mem.log file...
As an experiment, I've been trying to bring Darklands up under Mac OS X 10.3.6 using DosBox 0.63. Using instructions posted here, I muddled through the ...
... This thread may or may not help: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/darklands/message/5213 It also might be an issue with that version of DosBox. There...
... Thanks for the pointer! I'm glad I didn't have to search through all 6000+ messages in this group myself :-) It appears that the user in this thread had...
Walter, I would recommend trying DosBox 0.61... It seems to have fewer complications with Darklands. It's worth a shot... I know that it might sound weird,...
... I'm a recovering programmer, so I can well imagine a pessimizing upgrade. Unfortunately, the Dosbox main site doesn't have a version for Mac OS X other...
... I suspected as much. Ambushed by a few soldiers is one thing, a valley filled with battling armies is quite another. ... I like the idea and expect it will...
... Another complication: the CD you are running (and that darklands.exe) is just an install/run wrapper around a "compressed" version of darklands. Even on a...
... Actually I would love to see it included in a remake. As far as I understand it is a subplot called the Bohemian revolution and is historically connected...
... I sure do look forward to adding that kind of complexity as the software remakes progress. If we can get that kind of plot and story done, and a moderate...

... You are welcome! I am glad it worked. I have similar problems in DosBox for Windows; usually I alt-tab to release the mouse. Looking up the readme,...
