[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: How far do you travel at start?
Sometimes not at all. I start my toons in Spring and need to get some firewood, shelter et cetera for the possibly lethally frigid nights. I like to set a camp by lake or river, get basic survival things done; shelter, LLTs nearby, waterhole, firewood. Fish, and/or hunt for food and hides. Often fish, hide work or make crafts end of the day. Things that don’t need daylight. With few days/week food supply, start looking for villages, and homestead locations. At this point, the traveling might take the character across the map. Can’t wait too long for this trekking though, lakes and rivers will thaw and that gets annoying, fast.

Re: Activity list
“Trapping cluster” checking breaks winter monotony. Pick a small/medium pine marsh surrounded by taller growth. Set pawboard, couple loukku and couple loops. Do this on 3-4 spots on the edges of the pine mire. The distance should be few hours of skiing at most. Set 3-4 for clusters in different directions from the home stead. You can also set kota(s) further away from the home stead to support further trapping clusters. I mean, what else can you use those ragged reindeer hides, that one … trades… from Njerpez camps? Archery practice against a log wall is an option too, but I find that even more tedious than other activities. My all time favorite winter activity though, is elk/reindeer hunting. Skis, bow, dog. Get up early morning, scout and run down the game. Process hide and set the meat to dry. Very often the year’s (cut of for me is beginning of new drying season) cellar has over 1,000lbs of dried elk. Trade and donate the excess meat end of coming summer. In summer time after planting usually meager farm; I like to go explore with a punt and a fat stack of winter furs. There’s usually some masterworks and some beautiful pots to acquire. Late summer is most definitely spent wandering about, gathering herbs and storing mushrooms, which sometime do make it in the cellar to winter to make nicer stews… nobody wants to live 100% on dried elk&bear diet. Except the dogs. May 19, 2022, 07:12:16 AM |

Re: Creation of Mass From Nothing
In the same area, yarn is much heavier than the fibres that go into making it! Gravity causes that. It's the spinning, you see? I'll get my coat. December 15, 2022, 08:59:38 PM |

Re: Animal droppings - an indicator and a fertilizer
Will dogs get pathing logic to linger at droppings? Maybe sometimes they might even destroy them, whether it's by eating the stuff outright or rolling into it. No, we didn't think that far either, but the lingering part would also be somewhat gameplay relevant thing. But we'll try not to build all too ambitious "droppings related to-do list" for now, as there's other stuff in line too. February 22, 2023, 10:23:10 AM |
