Holy crap. My file explorer was unpacking everything into the same directory. Used another one, got subdirectories now. Game is working. 🤦♂️
How did you name your directory? “JON”, “JONATHAN”, or something different? Because I keep getting that gadget-images error.
I’m still trying to get it work. Always getting a Gadget-Images read error (both in Magic Dosbox and on PC). 🤔
Weird, should be pretty straightforward. You can post your layout, if you like, so we can take a look.
Nice one, thanks for sharing! I haven’t played RRT in like 30 years or so, but I remember spending tons of hours on that game. 🤓
No wait, my Lemmings profile is finished. I just couldn’t get absolute mouse to work properly. Will do some more testing with that one.
Yes, you can automate actions whenever a certain event changes certain colors on screen. I’ve been working on Ultima VI, Lemmings, and Ultima Underworld layouts with lots of automation during the development process, bur never finished them due to technical reasons at the time.
Come to think of it, maybe I should continue to work on these layouts. 😇Win95 is just as buggy a mess as it was on a real machine back then. Which means it works surprisingly well in Dosbox in general, but it’s always to prone to cause some grief. 😉
The Pixel Trap feature came up with that exact idea in mind, to be able to fully automate the process of switching through different layouts on different parts of a game (like game screen, inventory, options, etc).
IMHO, this is one of the most advanced and coolest features of Magic Dosbox, I really love it. 🙂Yes, Savage Empire uses the same engine as Ultima 6, so except from the weird setting in SE, they’re pretty similar.
Btw, I like your avatar. Ultima 6 is my favourite Ultima game, along with UW1 (which isn’t a real Ultima, strictly speaking 😉).
Hi, and welcome!
I’m an early Dosbox user, too, started with v0.56 about 20 years ago. 👴
Thanks for sharing this little hack, it’s certainly useful. 🙏
