FDagger
Dave Humphrey - 13 August 1998
FDagger is a simple program that allows one to use Andyfall without having
the Daggerfall CD in the drive. Here's how to do it.
- Do the regular stuff for running without a CD (see below if you
don't know how).
- Copy the original DAGGER.EXE file somewhere safe.
- Rename FDAGGER.EXE as DAGGER.EXE
- Run Andyfall and everything should work normally.
Running without a CD Guide
- Copy all the files in the \DAGGER\ARENA2 directory on the
CD into your ARENA2 directory on your hard disk with the
exception of PACKED.DAT. If you already have the huge
installation you just need to copy all the .VID files over.
- Unless you were careful not to overwrite any files on your
hard drive, you'll have to reinstall the latest patch.
- Your finished with the CD so you take it out..for good
:)
- Open the file Z.CFG in your main Daggerfall directory in
any text editor. At the line where it says 'pathcd',
change this to match your ARENA2 path on your hard drive
(it should match the 'path' parameter).
- If you want, or need, virtual memory you have to add the
following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
set DOS4GVM=@dagger.vmc
Technical Note: All program does is do the system call 'FALL.EXE z.cfg'.
The entire program in C is just:
void main (void) {
system ("FALL.EXE z.cfg");
}
