[GUIDE] Obtaining and Playing UrW first version 1.00b from 1992 on a modern PC
Summary This is a guide to obtaining Unreal World version 1.00b (1992) and running it on your modern PC. Background Information 9 years ago, in July 2012, Sami has got the flu and posted this on the old forums: Quote Summer flu - that's evil, but I've been touched by one.source: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/urwforum/i-39-ve-got-flu-you-39-ve-got-version-1-00b-for-dl-t2521.html To be clear he has included a registration code in the archive file and thus gifted the very first version of the game to the Internet. I would like to thank Sami for the registration code gift and for utilising his down time beneficial to the masses. Step by Step Guide Here is what you need to do to successfully run UrW1.00b on a modern PC. 1. Download and install DOSBox (or any other emulator you prefer such as dosemu although this guide mentions only DOSBox) If you have never heard of it before here is a description from Wikipedia: "DOSBox is a free and open-source emulator which runs software for MS-DOS compatible disk operating systems". It runs on many modern operating systems including the big three (Windows, Linux, macOS). Download it from the official website here: https://www.dosbox.com If you have issues with setting up DOSBox, please refer to the online documentation here https://www.dosbox.com/DOSBoxManual.html Or if you are a video learner perhaps check YouTube for one of the step by step tutorials. 2. (Before getting into URW at all) First launch DOSBox and ensure you can boot into it successfully and reach the C:\> prompt. Then, exit DOSBox return to your normal O/S. 3. (Only once you have confirmed that your DOSBox is healthy) Download URW100b from reference #2 at the bottom of this post, then extract (unZIP) it on to your DOSBox C:\ volume's root thus you should have "C:\URW100B" and all game files under that directory. 4. DOSBox steps 4a. Launch DOSBox. 4b. (Do this only if you are not using DOSBox auto-mount feature) Manually mount the volume which holds URW100b so that it becomes visible to DOSBox. 4c. In DOSBox command prompt, go into the UrW1.00 directory with the command: CD \URW100B 4d. Use DOSBox special key combinations (listed in reference #3 at the bottom of this post) to speed up the emulation, set it to maximum cycles you can based on your actual PC hardware. Note: that the purpose of using MAX EMULATION SPEED at this stage is to complete the next step as soon as possible because it is a heavy computation step and takes several minutes to complete (waiting patiently is incompatible with most modern people). 5. (Before creating a new character, one need to run world randomiser) To run the UnrealWorld1.00 World-Randomiser mini program execute this: RNDWORLD then wait patiently 2-5 minutes (or a few seconds if you are using MAX EMULATION SPEED). Note: Sami provides information on this, in Reference #1 (at the bottom of this post). 6. Prepare for launching game: Use DOSBox special key combinations (listed in reference #3 at the bottom of this post) to slow down/speed up the emulation and try to set it to about 3750 cycles. Note: If you do not do this, you might get lucky and it might work but the most likely outcome is you will get 'stuck' at the URW game main screen where it lists F1, F2 keys etc. - will look like your key presses are ignored. 7. Finally, launch the game with: URW You will see that the on-screen instructions list; F1 show story F2 create a new character F3 exit the game (back to DOS) F4 will 'Enter to Ankhyrnia' If you need help , please REPLY to this thread and I -and probably others too- will try to help. If you spot missing steps or errors, likewise please REPLY and report so that we can improve the guide.

Re: WEATHELORE CAN INCREASE!
I still cannot see why weatherlore is a skill, fire lighting skill would at least be useful.

Re: [3.82] Two problems with kg calculations and labelling
There's a setting for the resolution of units in the UI. I think the highest is 3 digits.

Companions with stone axes
I read in news.txt that Code: [Select] - fixed: companions performing some tasks too fastI gave my companion a stone axe. He felled a tree in 1 hour, and carved a trunk into a log in 1 hour. Then he made some boards for me. The boards took a couple hours I think, and he got 3 perfect boards, 15 fine boards, and 2 decent boards. It seems that tool suitability is not yet implemented for NPCs when it comes to how long tasks take or the quality of items they produce. June 04, 2024, 06:21:36 PM |

Re: Carrying Penatly and fatigue tested
For faster drop, you can press: d + Spacebar (then Escape to skip the printout of dropped items, if multiple pages) And to pickup: , + Spacebar (and Escape to skip again) + is “select all, within the current category”. You can combine it with Tab, and individual categories for little better inventory management. July 08, 2024, 05:18:50 PM |

NPCs offering herbal knowledge?
When interacting with extremely friendly NPCs (maybe housewives?), it seems like they could offer some sort of herbal information, the way that some old men will tell you what the weather is like. Something along the lines of "did you know that milkweed can be applied to wounds?" or "the mushrooms over there are called sand mushrooms, and they are very poisonous." It might even give some of the village women useful information they could share with the PC. August 01, 2024, 07:03:04 PM |

Re: BAC 3.84
i made an account so i could thank you... shame the other guy had a meltdown, but honestly seems like he was looking for an excuse to pass off the responsibility. I don't blame him. Can't really blame Brygun to have that meltdown, really.. If you follow this Steam discussion as well as this one, you'd understand why he had that meltdown in the first place..  Back to the topic at hand: Thanks for updating this mod to be compatible with 3.84, @TheyCallMeSibs !!! You're not just a legend, you're EPIC as well !!!  Will try the next time I could sneak some 'me' time out of the kids' prying eyes..  PS, mind if I spread this good news to the Steam community as well? Will link to your original post above so they'd know who should take the credit for this mod's return.

Lagging, delaying, travelling
Hey hey, just a note to let you know that I've fallen behind my development schedules on almost all fronts. The summer was all too busy to maintain a good workflow, and when there was a good workflow many unexpected coding issues kept arising. The features I dreamed of being close to release candidate stage by now are still lagging and delaying. And now a few weeks of travelling takes place so the radio silence is to be expected until september. I'll hope the spirits will make my autumn more coding friendly. Let's catch up then.
