I remember the floppy version I had did have a narrated intro. It didn't have speech in the briefings.

Strange, they must have ripped it to reduce the size, although I'm not sure why you'd want to do that, the CD version alone, even with the voices is only around 30 meg.

Unhappy

Hello! It's still me!

I looked at your link, but I still can't install Warcraft.
I did the "Abandonia's Official DosBox Guide" and succeed to install the game FlashBack.
But I have a problem with Warcraft. The command "install" doesn't work for a simple reason the executable doesn't even exist. There is no install.exe in the folder .zip, there are war, setup, etc...
The file readme.txt just say to enter install...
What do I do wrong? You don't have to use "install"?

Merci d'avance

First, are you sure you have to actually install it? For most of the games on Abandonia, you only need to run setup for sound (DOSBox default is SB16 at irq 7, dma 1 and adresse 220)

If running setup doesn't work or help, please name all com, exe and bat file in your games folder/directory.

Ah yes, that readme file is probably from the original game, but I'm 99% sure (as Mighty Midged said) that the game is already preinstalled - so you only need to unzip and play (if there's no sound you may want to reconfigure, but it's optional).

Acctually by trying to re-install the game, you can mess things up and will have to delete the folder and start from the begining.

Yes, all you will need to do is run the Setup file, (or just run the Warcraft one, it'll redirect you) and there you can set up your sound (which is why it will redirect you in the first place) you can pick whatever you want there, DosBox will correctly emulate it no matter what you choose (unless you take no sound) and from that point on you can play.

Cool

Hello!

Thank you! You were right! (I'm so stupid :wallbash: )
It works now!
There's just a little problem with the sound, there is sound but it's very bad.
I tried to change sounds settings but there is no change...
But the game works, so I'm happy!! :brain:

Thx

How's the sound bad?
Like what're you hearing exactly? Is it choppy?

Hello!
I don't know what "choppy" means...
Every about 2sec the sound make a "leap", a bit like listenning to a scratched CD.
I can play with, but it would be better with a correct sound.
Do you have a suggestion?

"Choppy" means exactly that. You know there are certain things called dictionaries: :P

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=choppy

I'd bet it's the cycles, either too low or too high, change them. What value are you using?
