Have a working single flop 1.44 ima file for Bane, but seems my FTP access is been nuked? THX AB. :rolleyes:
...And no, don't need FTP access anymore, you may keep it.

You'll have to do with zShare.
bane_144.IMA - 1.41MB
When it's gone, it will be gone.

It's all in a single 1.44 floppy image, simply hit return when asked for other disk, makes things simpler in dosbox.

The FTP access was changed after someone tried to hack it. So everyone has to ask for the new details when they need them, not just you. :p But thanks for the image I will see about getting it added to the site and the other one removed.

Seen you added the fixed ima.

*cough*
You also included a nice txt file, says:

When asked for the second disk when installing simply hit enter as both are included....
Rereading my previous posts I'm probably to blame for this, the original game came on four 5.25" flops, not two, and all 4 are included in the single ima file.

The installer will ask for 4 disks in total, not 2, just to be correct.

I'm guessing that this is where it went wrong in the upload of the 'two' ima files from Death Incarnate(?) , apparently bane09.zip was somewhere wrongly added to the first ima file.
I still have the original 4 5.25" flops somewhere, I could eventually also upload those in ima format, but of course it's a hassle to install the game from 4 ima files in dosbox, .......even on a "real dos" PC, you'll need 4 360KB flops and the compat hardware, not that many around of those anymore.

Why you trick me like this Dos. But oh well people will work it out, if not they can see in the thread that it is more then one disk.

I just added a response to the Wizardry VII thread.

I'm having trouble getting this to work in dosbox. Winstall asks for the source disk in drive A and doesn't do anything. I not sure what to do. *scratches head*

I read that the Wizardry I - V series is different from the VI - VIII series with respect to how the earlier series focused more on maps and treasure. The poster argued that maps had more ins and outs and that treasure was more worthwhile (or something). He said that a japanese series of Wizardry games are based somewhat on the earlier series and play on the PS2.

The Wizardry series before Bane of the Cosmic Forge, as far as I remember, are about purely dungeon-crawling gameplay, gathering treausures and slaying monsters with weapons and magic. Also there was much less, so to say, graphics, there were only the polygonal lines of the walls and floors and otherwise darkness without any textures.
You had to draw your own map sketches on paper to be able to find your way through the dungeons, and could get completely lost there without any trouble. Not sure if the dungeons were randomly created, probably not. Also the spells were quite different, and fewer, than in Wizardry VI through VIII.

The wise Kmonster informed me that the game Wizardry VI is not easy game. I know Kmonster is nice player. Well, I am afraid to start this impossible hard game.

Yoga, you're twisting my words:picard:. I rather told you the opposite:

Dungeon Master on the other hand requires also fast thinking and fast acting, if you manage to beat it you can call yourself an elite player.

5 year old Yoga would have laughed at such an easy game and even today's old and grey Yoga could beat it without much trouble.

But there are still better classic games you haven't played yet like "Might and Magic III - Isles of Terra".

Hurray! HE is back again!!
My Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeep excuses and respect to YOU, wise Wizard aka Kmonster!
Sorry for my wrong interpretations of both yr suggestions: Xeen lava and Wizardry saga.
No more mistakes as You very fast find the original postings. :bleh1:
Yes, Dungeon Master was though game. Because as You know there is only one save file I was forced to do second one even in battle. and Yes, I did.

Well, soon or later the brave will stand up again Wizardry saga. Now I prepare my muscles for such bloody game.

brave and humble
yoga

Danke for "Might and Magic III - Isles of Terra".

How do You, Wizard, know that right now I have not game to play?
Far seeing? No War fog?
(In fact I am waiting when Paco the Great will do his giant Project concerning Veil of Darkness to cont. that game).
I am glad You here..
:hihihi:

A strange request,

I remember how much I liked the sound effects in Bane. From the mumbling of the rogues in the castle, to the howl of the bats in the belfry, to the HAW HAW HAW of the giants on the mountain!!

Does anyone know is there is somewhere to download mp3's of the Bane sound effects? I see then in the 'BANE' folder, but when I try to get them to play they do not work.

Any ideas?
