I have identified the events that cause the party to be wanted by the guards despite having a good local reputation. There appear to be two types of these...
Now, I haven't checked this out myself as the game works fine under DosBox for me, but this site claims to be offering a remastered version of Darklands that...
First off I thought that sounded suspicious, and maybe that they were just packaging stuff in DosBox. Their site said: ITEM IS A RE-MASTERED VERSION OF THE...
Sounds interesting. But given that the Darklands source code doesn't appear to exist anymore I wonder how they "remastered" it to run natively in windows? The...
Re DOSbox and 'pre-setup', etc. It has it. It's called 'Front Ends'! What I mean is, if we all have D.O.G. or D-Fend and just one of us sets up our front end...
I mostly agree with you about front-ends (I sometimes use them, but dosbox is just so *easy*... now I know how to use it), but I find it hard to recommend one...
... Sweet! Most awesome. Do any of the other parts of the struct matter? I assume the start date is set (but probably ignored); is there an end date, or...
... The start date appears to be when you have the initial encounter with the guards, or set off the thunderbolt potion while breaking into a merchant. However...
The thing about frontends is that they just end up being another annoying middleman if you actually know how to work DOSBox configuration. Really, the config...
'Front ends an annoying middleman'?! Well you have to be joking! I have 15 DOS game profiles in my D.O.G. front end, I have exported the profiles as back-ups...
... I don't think the original poster was joking, and I agree with him completely. I've got *counts* 419 DOS games set up under DOSBox, and the setup didn't...
... Sweet! I love that "new computer" smell... ahh! ... Yes, that was me. It is a corporate policy, so no promises it makes "sense", it just provides legal...
I thought this looked interesting: http://swut.net/euo/ If you like old style RPGs (Ultima, esp.), this looks like it might be fun. Multiplayer, online, retro...
Hi, I just started playing Darklands a few days ago; I hadn't played it when it came out although I remember seeing it in the computer game store while buying...
It sounds like you are looking to make a multilayer game similar to Unreal World. ... -- Neil Little I use multi-billion dollar military satellites to track...
I hadn't seen Unreal World before, its interesting, and of course I would want to use a lot of the same elements in the game. I think the way Unreal World...
It looks like Atari doesn't care enough about the name "Microprose" as a property any more to even worry about hanging on to the domain. Maintaining...
Sorry, but this is an off-topic post... Has anyone seen previews for The Witcher RPG? It looks pretty awesome! They've got a great promo site for it too at...
... [mwirkk]<snip> ... [mwirkk] This is an OT FYI... I just now spotted Hellequin's posts on the Schattenländer board that due to lack of time by himself and...
This is taken directly from the "Banned Manuals" section of ReplacementDocs": On 2005-04-05, head admin 'Sleepy' says, "By and large game companies have...
Doesn't Atari own Infogrammes, and doesn't Infogrammes own the rights to Darklands? If so, the all Darklands material on Replacementsdocs is okay for all those...
[A quick clarification: Infogrames, in this context, is spelled with a single 'm', rather than two - see ed. near end.] Hi John! ... It's the other way around,...
With my current party I have been trying to have a dragon encounter for some time (years in game time). Going to a lair location that I know from the editor...
Hey guys- is this event at the calendar "All About Society Travels Networking Expo" that is repeated every Thursday for real? It's clogging up my Yahoo...
... Networking Expo" that is repeated every Thursday for real? It's clogging up my Yahoo calendar...;) ... [mwirkk] Sorry about that. No, it's not for real -...
Thanks! Now back to y'all discussing Darklands stuff, so I can enjoy it vicariously (until next time I get a chance to get it running)! [Non-text portions of...
... *rubs hands* Aah, event questions. ;-) I do recall there being some event cotemporaneous with five location struct changes (destruction of the nearest five...
I am proud to report that I now have the Darklands "Travel 2" (in the jukebox) tune as the ringtone on my phone :-). I used Dosbox to capture an AVI while the...
Daniel, IIRC, many of the Darklands music themes are based on, or are copies of, actual medieval to Renaissance motets. I'll bet that there are no copyrights...
... Probably not.. but there is the DMCA. Reverse engineering, or similar extraction of data, makes one a terrorist. It is sadly far easier to become wanted...
