How do i run Warcraft 2?
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?
This is what i type in DOSbox mount d d:/war2 d: cd war2 war2 What should i be doing? What do you do to play the DOS version from here? |

So , for you it would come to: mount c d:\ c: cd war2 war2 That is if you unzipped the game into d:\war2 If you have something else (double folder ??? whatever????) details must come from you.

On my desktop system, I'm routinely mounting F:\DOSBox as my C drive. mount c d:\ will mount your (real) D drive as DOSBox C drive. As far as any programs running in DOSBox are concerned, it is the C drive from then on. |

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 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 |

This worked for me
On the installed folder, there is a file:
WAR2.ini. Open it with a text editor. The first line reads: cdpath=c:\ Change it to whatever letter you use when mounting the CDROM on DOSbox. Worked for me! |
