I found the dos tutorial but i got to the bit where it says type install into command prompt but when i do that it comes up with a screen telling to put the disk into drive A or B and if I just press enter it says where do you want to install in which i just left at C:\WOLF and press enter and it says error insert disk.

If no one knows whats wrong can someone tell me what to do from the beginning, im running windows xp.

Just go and try DosBox.

Okay. I noticed that a lot of people are confused with seaons. Asking when they change, how long they are and such.

I decided to test this on my own by keeping track of the days that passed and my wolf's age.

It seems that a seaons lasts about 3 months, in game. A message will pop up on your screen, letting you know the season has changed. Ex: "It is going to be a cold winter" The area begins to change to fit that season.

Hope this helps

I enjoyed this game very much, even if it did kick my behind to high heaven. Then again... Maybe if I had been so patient as to actually play it for more than 10 minutes at a time before going to fark >>

Anyhow. Good game.

i really like the game, cuase i've never played something like that before, but i've got a problem with the 3rd level in the timber area. i have to kill a hare, but everytime i found one it's so fast to get it. can anybody bive me some tips?

Arrrgh! I have been playing this game forever now, even as an alpha, but it never lets you breed and have pups to take care of. Did they just put that there to mess with our heads or am I just doing something wrong?

I'm stupid and have NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING BECAUSE I'M COMPUTER ILLITERATE.



I can't follow Anubis's tutorial. Because I'm freaking retarded.




That's what I got so far. o_o;;;



I'M STILL CONFUSED THOUGH. Someone please help me. ;_____;

Calm down. So far you're doing quite well for a beginner:
-You downloaded and installed DosBox
-You mounted a drive correctly
-You entered the game directory

That's pretty good so far. The only point you experienced problems with is running the actual game, and it doesn't look like it's because you don't know how.

"Illegal command: WOLF.EXE" means that no such executable exists in the directory. This is surprising, because that file is contained in the archive.
Are you sure you have unpacked all contents of the game archive to C:\WOLF\ ?

Try running the following commands:

dir /p
dir *.exe /p

The first will display a list of all files in the directory, the second will display the EXE files present.

If the executable is not there, unpack the archive again into the appropriate directory. Should that fail, re-download the entire archive.
