You need to use UAShell. Before you try to install UAshell make sure you've installed the 1.2 patch. Then follow the installation instructions in Uashellinst.txt or something like that. After you finish installing it, check the TEMP folder in your FRUA folder for and files and move them out or delete them. After that you can run UAshell.bat again and you can press f5 for a list of modules you have.

Oh, you also have to unzip the module into a folder with .DSN at the end of the name eg. Heirs of Skullcrag is in HEIRS.DSN, and I unzipped TOEE into GAME27.DSN.

Where do I find the .DSN files? For example: I've found a couple of Dragonlance-based modules plus a Pool of Radiance remake module, and I've like to try them out. Thanks in advance.

You just have to make a folder with .DNS at the end of the name and then extract the mod into it, that'll be the "filename" for the mod when you start it. Don't forget that you have to use UAshell for most of them.

I did that, and now every time I want to save, they ask me for a save disk. I'd like to know what's up with that?

The game is trying to save in "whatever.dsn\save\". Make sure you have a "SAVE" directory in the .dsn folder, and it should work. Some modules have done that for you already, some haven't.

You can find armors in a weapon shop or armor shop! some monsters do drop armors and weapons. are you sure you've checked everything? if you've played any SSI AD&D games you should be familiar with all the menu....[/b]

it was the same with me, couldnt figure out how i managed to loose all the armors, so i simply returned to playing the original instead...

If anyone is interested, the UA community is still alive and kicking. You can find the group discussion board at:

http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ua/

Some of the members of this group have "hacked" the original FRUA to create an Oriental environment and also added new features to the game! It's really looks great! Stop by the site and ask any questions you like, it's a very friendly group of people.

I noticed that the http://frua.rosedragon.org/ site was already posted here. This is the main repository for art, hacks, utilities, FRUA Newsletters and, of course, lots and lots of modules for the game.

I'm also disapointed to see the rating given to the game. There have been some really great modules AND some really great artwork done for this construction set. I have been playing FRUA since it came out in 1993 and I still like the game.

I also have a web site that is a collection of art, designed to help module builders get the right art for their game:

hey dude, your site is really cool, I spent a few hours looking through your art archives there, trying to remember where it all comes from :-)

I'm a member of the UA community and even made some designs.

Amazingly this game was allowing players to create MODules all the way back in 1993. I did not explore that part of the program for this review, so I will not speak of it. [/b]

:bleh: LOL, it's like saying "I have played some badly-made Doom levels, therefore all Doom WAD editors are bad."

Also, did someone already send a review? If no one did, I could write one...

Hey Jacek,
I'm still working on a new review for this. I'll make sure I do justice to the game.


Also, I posted a small section of the copy-protection codes if you need them, but if you guys don't want the copy-protection at all, I found a place that tells you what memory addresses to change with a hex editor. Try Googling "Unlimited Adventures" cheat.



... EDIT: All done that review! Hopefully it will be up soon.

Hi all... I do not want to restart a war in this thread, but at least let me say I'm sorry that my review was not up to par. However, if one reviews Neverwinter Nights or Dungeon Seige, one reviews the game that it is, and not all the modules that CAN be or HAVE been made for it.

This is a GAME site, not a tool site, so I reviewed the game part of FRUA only. When I was trapsing around the town with my "party" of only two characters - I had no idea I needed 10 to 20 folks - and I ran into a 20 Ogres, Hill Giants, etc. all high levels - when I had just started the game it didn't seem like fun to me!

As I've said, my review can be replaced and it won't hurt my feelings. I'm just trying to contribute to the site and be a team player like many of the others. Hope you can cut me some slack here and there!
