Puzzle Palace I beat the five stories and am now doing the custom campaigns. When prompted to play the dreaded Puzzle Palace mission, it turned out even worse than I imagined. Unlike story mode, where I started with a nearby Temple, I begin at the 3 o'clock position which contains no foundations. Worse yet, the AI controls every single foundation from the very beginning. Restarting the mission changes nothing, so I'm always limited to building Basal Golems. Trying to take over an enemy foundation is pretty close to impossible since the maze is already crawling with enemy Basal Golems, Zombies, and Gargoyles. My single attempt at a take-over was a pathfinding nightmare that naturally ended with my Golems getting slaughtered. My understanding is that the campaigns have some degree of randomness, so I'm wondering if this was just plain bad luck? Has anyone else been in the same situation with this mission? |

Win7 instructions: http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=22241 If you want to use partition E:\ (Windows path !!!!) create an \oldgames\ on your E: partition and mount that as virtual C: (yes, indeed as C: ) in dosbox, would be something as: mount c e:\oldgames\ c: Windows7 path would then be E:\oldgames\ but dosbox will see that folder as C:\ |

Let me just start by apologizing for that post being somewhat... off. It was then, and is now, too early in the morning. Second, I HATE the little image you have to refresh to post without being a member on these boards... most illegible thing I'd ever seen. I know, not the place to complain, but dear lord... Alright. As for actually getting this running. mount D F:\ -t cdrom F being a virtual CD rom that has the ISO (I have the actual cd for this game somewhere, wonder if that would help... or if I could find it.) D being my actual CD rom drive. And then... install has a file creation error when it begins (I tried mounting the install drive (E:\. which yes, I mount to e:\) And BAM seems to search for the interplay/bam directory. I've tried moving the non-CD install, the one lacking all the cinematic to that directory, and discounting the somewhat likely possibility of a typo, it still can't find it, even when I do. (As much as I like the game play, its the cinematic that make the game. Heck I even enjoyed the book that came with it, the 30 page novella about a paladins wife being kidnapped.) Is there some step, once you have the ISO to follow when installing it with dosbox that I'm missing? Why can't it create the files? Do I need to alter a permission? I'm on x64 Windows 7. |

I'm... actually having trouble with the following suggestion. Once I have the CD mounted in dosbox I can't install. I can't run it from the CD. And copying (and over-writing) the CD files to the main directory (Created by the non-iso version). Is there any way to simply add the video files to the non-iso install once you've got it set up? |

| twillight | ISOcellar isn't an option for me, sry. If it would, I'd never mention the above. | |

Oh right, I've figured out your problem! You downloaded straight from the review page...it's a 45 MB size file or so... You want the version from the ISO cellar...it's 200 or so MB and has all the cinematics...except it's lacking the intro video...that's the version I played. Like I said, if you pull the intro from the 45MB version you can have it all. get JDownloader and then use that to download it from the following link: http://www.4shared.com/dir/1lV-WPNB/BAM.html Someone ought to make a note right at the top of the review: "This version lacks cinematics to reduce file size. For the total package, go to the ISO cellar." |

The intro is included. But there are cinematics for every quest, and for every side you choose inside every quest (3 cinematics for each quests in all), and those are all missing. |
