Yes, I've tried that. I get same problem in dosbox AND when running it straight from windows. Could be that the problem is this rather slow laptop (1Ghz P3 with only 128mb RAM).

- gibberish

Oh yes, 1Ghz is little too little for DosBox, the emulation would only be fast enough for less demanding games like Tetris or Wolfenstein 3D or similar. Try it on a 2.5Ghz machine and your mouse problem will go

Hi!

Can anybody to say how I can to start Star Trail with my party of Blade of Destiny with the original faces?
It will be great to continue the story with the characters that saved Thorwal in Blade of Destiny.

Thanks, bye.

Copy the savegame from the folder of Blade of Destiny to the folder of Star Trail and then open the savegame in Star Trail. It will then convert automatically to the Star Trail format and the party members will be taken over, without all skills and stats and almost all items, but not all. For example you won't be able to keep the Blade of Destiny.

There is also a speech pack for this game (I have it and the game somewhere on diskettes). Used to play this game like crazy.=)
IIRCyou could use bardskills and seduction to get money in taverns by entertaining the guests.

And stealing to get money. In all three cases worthwhile to save though, if your performation isn't appreciated by the locals (low skills) you'll get either kicked out or in case of stealing might even need to pay large sum to escape being imprisoned for some time (bad for health if I remember right).

About the graphics glitch when using magic (changing into random colors:
I had the same problem, but it was rather easily overcome by changing the graphics display options in dosbox. For me, this glitch stopped to happen once I switched from scaler normalx2 to one of the other scalers (look in the dosbox.conf to change).

However, I ran into another problem: after fighting a while, suddenly somthing goes wrong with display: I can only see the grid, characters and scenery have disappeared. Strangely enough, they do appear again when using some other menu options, but as soon as I go back to the action menu, I can not see anything.

Did anyone find a solution to this second problem? Changing parameters in dosbox did not work thus far.

This problem with only the battlefield without characters, enemies & background I had earlier too when I played Star Trail on old Pentium 100 with Dos. The only solution I found for this was just to load the saved game before the fight and enter the fight again, then anything is there again. That seems just to be a bug in the game that happens sometimes.
Although this with the graphics glitch in DosBox, I don't have it whether I cast spells or something else during battles. Instead I have this glitch in the conversations, when I enter one the colors mess up and then anything is hardly visible. That said, I play the original bought German version of the game on CD, not the one from this site. I'll try your solution with the scaler, thanks for the tip

So after getting rid of the random-colors problem,
I think I found the solution for the scrambling of sprites during combat.

Search the package for a file named "fix.com"
Place it in the game directory, and run it.
That did the trick, at least for me....

So finally I can start off and play this great game!
:Brain:

Hey, I just discovered that fifth horsman actualy already told to use the fix.com in hit post on Dec 9 2005, 12:38 PM.

@Henrik: Perhaps it should be put in the RoA-ST game description that not only crack.com should be run but also fix.com?
Would save a lot of people quite some unneccessary frustrations, I guess.
THnx anyway, Abandonia, for providing this beauty.
