Hey guys, long time listener, first time caller.

I have UFO and Dos box, and have gotten as far as getting the dos prompt to the main folder of UFO Defense(The one with GEODATA, GEOGRAPH, GAME_1 etc.), but can't run the exe program or whatever. There's also no setup file for the sound.

This is driving me insane. I've already looked at Dosbox faq a few dozen times but can't figure it out. Please help me as I want to relive the glory days of killing floaters and snakemen.

Thanks.[/b]

Enter UFOCD; I think GO will make it go as well, must be some difference between the two.

Hey all, I'm having a problem with the Abandonia DOS version of UFO. I'm running Ubuntu Linux 7.04 (feisty) with DOSBox 0.65.

My problem is that when I try to start the game with the command "ufocd" in DOSBox, I have absolutely no mouse support at all. No cursor, no clicking, nothing. I don't know what other commands I could use to start the game -- "go" does nothing and neither does "full".

Can this be fixed?

Do you have the mouse working in any other games?

Odd... no, I don't. Tried Pizza Tycoon and Dominus and no mouse in either. And in the meantime I've been doing some Google digging, and it appears I'm the only person on the face of the planet with this problem. :wallbash:

*sigh*

Do you have a PS/2 mouse or a USB mouse? Try a PS/2 and see if that changes anything.

I fixed it. Setting "autolock=false" in my dosbox.conf made it work.

Wow, thanks for the fast reply guys!

I downloaded the DOS version instead on the UFO page and ran it than through DosBox and it works great. Oh man, it must have been eight or nine years since I've heard that delicious sound of a sectoid's dying scream.

I love the taste of laser in the morning... it tastes like... victory!


Thanks guy! Gone to blow up some floaters.








Oh P.S. had a nightmare about Xcom after playing it when I was asleep earlier. Ha!

[font=Comic Sans Ms] Well this is the Best game to date in the history of games
look at the genus of the strategy game, this is the Strategy Game Godfather
if you don't like this game i'll kill you!!!!

PLEASE: I have downloaded the XP version of UFO from this site. Ive been playing it for a few days, but i seem to have a horrible hanging problem within the game:

I research the sectoid medic. Once the results are complete you have two options: View report, and OK.

Clicking on either hangs the game!??

I've tried lots of things, including running in windows 95 compatibility etc, re-installing...



ANYONE any ideas??
