Read only error, maybe causing "no space for dos partition" error?
Tyranicus replied to Nyanchan's topic in Tech Support
The guide you're linking to is for Windows 95 and not Windows 98. It doesn't specifically say that 98 won't work, but it does say that Windows 95 OSR2.5 will most likely not work because it is basically Windows 98, which implies that 98 will not work either. If you are hell-bent on installing Windows 98 in DOSbox, you may want to try this guide. -
If you are running OS X 10.6.8, you can run the Mac-native version available directly from Spiderweb. The Wineskin bundles from GOG are necessary only for 10.7 and higher. If you send an email to support@spiderwebsoftware.com with your GOG purchase information, Jeff should give you a registration code for the native Mac version.

I have made Wineskin Mac apps from the Windows versions like I did with the original Avernum trilogy. They are available here.

You can use this program to change the keyboard behavior, or you can use a keyboard with a numpad. As for mouse movement, your characters move two spaces with a left-click and one space with a right-click. This doesn't apply in the later games. Starting with A2, you move one space with a left-click and look with a right-click.

Oh right, in the Windows versions. The Mac versions don't do this. It's worth noting that you can still move in 8 directions if your keyboard has a numpad though.
-
You can move in 8 directions all the games with the Nethernum engine, so I'm not sure what you're referring to.

The first Avernum trilogy should run just fine on any Windows machine, but they will not run on a modern Mac (OS X 10.7 or later). That said, there is a link in my signature to Winskin bundles of the demo versions of the original Avernum trilogy that will run on newer Macs.

It's good to see you, SMoE. You were the first person to welcome me when I joined Polaris many years ago. -
There are several small areas that can be accessed by Roman or Celt parties only.

Your music that you listen to-All Genres Accepted
Tyranicus replied to Death Knight's topic in General
I like music from many genres, although very little rap or country. My favorite artists include, but are not limited to, Flogging Molly, Guns 'N Roses, Simon & Garfunkel, Regina Spektor, Queen, Billy Joel, the Beatles, the Killers, Postal Service, Dropkick Murphys, and the Guggenheim Grotto. -

Stareye has fixed the permissions issue, and have fixed the forum headers. -
Just bought an old imac g3 to replay exile 2
Tyranicus replied to Syntyrael's topic in The Exile Trilogy
You could have simply used BasiliskII on a modern Mac. -
Harehunter's Haven needs a new home
Tyranicus replied to Harehunter's topic in Avernum Trilogy (2000-2002 original versions)
At the moment, there is a permissions issue preventing global mods from editing the forum headers. As soon as we get that resolved, we will fix the links. -
Changing the language in Firefox simply changes the language used in Firefox's menus. You need the Japanese character fonts installed. I'm assuming you have Windows XP, as Microsoft installs these fonts by default starting with Windows Vista. Here are the instructions.

So, Why is Erika Hostile to Me?
Tyranicus replied to Gene's topic in Avernum Trilogy (2000-2002 original versions)
This should not have happened unless you attacked a non-hostile at some point while in her tower. You can fix it by using the character editor to take yourself out of the town and reset hostile towns. -
Actually, the answer is yes. If they are not showing up for you, then your computer does not have the proper fonts for kanji characters installed.

How can one remove letterboxing?
Tyranicus replied to negatus's topic in Nethergate and Nethergate: Resurrection
The second setting is to make sure the box that says "Play in full screen window is selected. If it still doesn't take up the whole screen, I honestly don't know what to tell you. Both the Mac and Windows versions take up all the vertical space on three computers that I just tested.
