Recent CVS? Please explain. Where do I get one, how do I install it? What is that, anyway?
I think he meant the most recent sourcecode beta from the DosBox page. You download it and compile on your own PC. Sometimes they work better, sometimes worse.

A faulty archive? I got mine from here, didn't you too? Are there several different ones floating around? Where did you get yours?
I had mine long before ST was added to Abandonia. There are always a few different releases of about any given game. As to where I got it - from a friend.

I guess they banned him. Might have something against him...
His title was changed to "another Freddy alias". Seems he was uncovered to be another attempt by a known troublemaker FreeFreddy to get back onto the forum.

You make a mistake there are many bugfixes in the current cvs and you dobt need to compile it by yourself.
Here you can download it:

Seems we mean two different things.
However, what you link to is not the only CVS in existence. Of course, you don't know about that, do you? Go here for a full list.

What I meant was the most recent sourcecode beta - one that you need to compile by yourself, but is the most up-to-date version. There, it sometimes happens that new fixes introduce new bugs to the progam as well.

Maybe try checking up on the Patches for DosBox. One of them might hold a solution for you.

Hello again,
Finally, I took the time to register (I didn't post the above message, BTW).
I managed to get Star Trail to run without DosBox. It was rathar trivial. All you need to do is to create a shortcut to STAR.EXE and check the EMS option. Of course, the patch that fixes the baby faces is also needed, as it also fixes the unresponsive mouse problem.
BUT... the problem with the sprites disappearing after a few rounds in the combat screen still persists. This means, there is no fault with DosBox. Most likely, the problem lies within the game archive itself. I downloaded it from here, as well as from Home of the Underdogs, but they both are essentially the same.

So, I have two questions for you folks:

1. Did any one play the version that is provided from Abandonia and/or HotU? Did you experience the combat bug as well?

2. Is there another source for this game available?

You have problems with the game... Play the German version, there you need no "faces patch" nor have any problems with the sprites in game. One obstacle - learning German

I'm Austrian, so these results are off limits for me.
Isn't there a german abandonware site somewhere? Or a german version of Star Trail available for download anywhere? Google didn't produce any useful results...

Why would ebay.DE results be "off limits" for an austrian? Last time I checked, inner-european shipping and handling was not much more expensive than national s/h anymore... And there's this nifty IBAN-thingy for inner-european money orders as well... k:

Since the DSA-franchise is still alive and kicking in Germany, I doubt that Fanpro will be giving the rights away just because the game is a little older. Meaning, no, there most likely WON'T be legal downloads of the german version.
