what does it say or what happens when you try to add them into your party or start adventure?

btw characters are stored in the [game directory]\SAVE but that shouldn't bother you. you just edit that KRYNN.CFG file and change the patch to the game (have in mind that this needs to be a virtual directory, which you mount in dosbox), the game will do the rest

It's an SSI game, so you know it's good. I remember this game and Death Knights being very dark compared to the Forgotten Realms games. These games were more difficult too. The draconians and dragons were tough. I always cheated and gave all of my characters dragonlances. Not as good as the sequels from what I remember, but still good.

Help! I played the heck out of Dark Queen when I was a teenager and now I'm trying to play the trilogy, starting natch with Champions. But I'm experiencing the same "unexpected error 3hali" issue! I know nothing about dos or code, but I've followed the instructions here as best I could with no results!

My game is in C:\krynn\cok

The config file reads "C:\krynn\cok\SAVE"

I cannot save a created character, so I can't even play the game..

Are you running it in DOSBox?

Yessir.

Hello,
And your OS is .... ?
And your mount lines in dosbox are ....?

That would be helpful info to pinpoint where it goes wrong.

sorry. I'll run y'through what I'm doing best I can. OS is Windows Vista. Open up DosBox, "mount c c:\krynn\cok", then "c:\" followed by "START", game loads up, choose to create a character, all is well up until saving...

If you mount c:\krynn\cok as virtual C then this

is completely wrong, as de facto your path in dosbox is c:\save, NOT C:\krynn\cok\SAVE .....

My advise:
Create a C:\oldgames\ whilst in windows, drag/drop your \krynn\cok\ in it so you get in windows:
c:\oldgames\krynn\cok\
Now run dosbox and input:
mount c c:\oldgames
c:
cd krynn
cd cok
start


That should sort things out.

Remark: *should* because in fact in Vista you would be better off using a \oldgames\ folder in your personal folders as virtual C: , if dosbox will be able to save your game will depend of the write permissions dosbox has on your C:\root ..... it certainly has the permissions in your personal folders.
