[quote=Warcraft_2;457071]I have recently downloaded Warcraft 2 from Abandonia and am using DOSBox to run it. I can run the game up to the menu but when i try to play anything it says i need a cd. How do i get past the cd requirement?
From what he has said above it seems he is asking how to get past the game itself asking him to inset the cd into the drive.
This copy of the Game requires that Dosbox pretend a folder in the WAR2 Folder is the game cd.
the scripts that tell dosbox which cd is in dosboxs imaginary cd drive are are not compatible with all Operating systems. The game will still work fine if you mount the folder in dosbox maunally yourself and then rune the W2.EXE
The command to mount the folder goes somthing like this:
mount d -t cdrom
in my case it was
mount d ~/Dos/WAR2/TOD -t cdrom
the folders inside the War2 folder that have to be mounted as a cd are
DP for the Beyond the DarkPortalcd
ToD for Tides of Darkness
i dont think you can mount them both at once you just need to mount the one you want to play.
Hopefully That is helpfull to someone
