Well that is probably where I'll need the most help, I suck at anything MSDOS related
NessyYesterday at 1:09 AM
No problem I'll walk you through it.
Okay so when you first start it up type the following -> mount c c:\
This is because Dos Box saves the save file in a folder on the C drive.
Nice you do -> mount d d:[path to where your L3D folder is]
And of course the "d" can be changed to whatever drive you have the folder in (so "c" if it's there anyway. I have it on my D drive)
FlopsyYesterday at 1:11 AM
but my L3D folder is on the desktop
NessyYesterday at 1:12 AM
Okay that's no problem so you'll type -> mount c c:\ [path to your desktop]
FlopsyYesterday at 1:13 AM
I can't path it from the c drive
never mind
NessyYesterday at 1:15 AM
Okay so now type c:
That's it just c and the colon
FlopsyYesterday at 1:16 AM
ok
NessyYesterday at 1:16 AM
Now type L3D
Let me know what pops up
FlopsyYesterday at 1:16 AM
illegal command
NessyYesterday at 1:16 AM
Okay try L3D\L3D
FlopsyYesterday at 1:17 AM
nope
NessyYesterday at 1:17 AM
Alright so what is the name of the folder you have your L3D files in?
FlopsyYesterday at 1:17 AM
L3D
I had the wrong mount apparently
I now have L3D at the top Clockwork Games
MSCDEX driver not found
NessyYesterday at 1:20 AM
Oh that error -_- Yeah to fix that I have to give a file namida gave me to fix it on my side as well.
Stand by.
Back up your folder and in the working one replace the .exe with this one.
Attachment file type: unknown
L3D.EXE
148.83 KB
I don't know why this fixed it for me to be honest...
FlopsyYesterday at 1:23 AM
Ok the game is running but I have a NeoLemmix v1.43, it is a quarter of the screen
And there's no sound
For god sake, I really hate DOS Box, I tried really hard with it to get L2 Tribes working but I ended up LPing the Mega Drive version on an Emulator because DOS Box was a pile of crap
NessyYesterday at 1:26 AM
Yeah it's complicated :stuck_out_tongue:
Okay so time to fix that window size issue.
FlopsyYesterday at 1:26 AM
I have no sound either :frowning:
NessyYesterday at 1:27 AM
You have to find a file that is in this folder -> {system drive}:/Users/{username}/AppData/Local/DOSBox/
FlopsyYesterday at 1:28 AM
Ok in options, they are muted and I cannot increase the volume
NessyYesterday at 1:28 AM
Right the sound... how did I fix that. Let me see.
Did the editor ask to apply a sound patch?
FlopsyYesterday at 1:29 AM
yes
I clicked the custom level option
NessyYesterday at 1:30 AM
Try it again just to be sure under Utilities on top.
In the editor.
FlopsyYesterday at 1:32 AM
It says the patch has already been applied
Also don't understand this message
You have to find a file that is in this folder -> {system drive}:/Users/{username}/AppData/Local/DOSBox/
there's a config file in this folder but I don't have the application to open it
NessyYesterday at 1:34 AM
Oh not even in notepad?
FlopsyYesterday at 1:34 AM
well I didn't know notepad could open it
NessyYesterday at 1:35 AM
Oh sorry :S
I didn't explain this part very good sorry about that.
FlopsyYesterday at 1:35 AM
fullscreen=true?
NessyYesterday at 1:36 AM
Yes... and if you want just a window you can change the size where it says windowresolution = width x height
So the sound... I'm trying to remember how I fixed that.
The sound is always a pain in the butt -_-
FlopsyYesterday at 1:44 AM
No worries, it's a start
At least I've learned how to get the game running
NessyYesterday at 1:45 AM
The music patch should have fixed it so that's why I'm stumped.
Did the fullscreen work at least?
FlopsyYesterday at 1:46 AM
I opted for a bigger window
Don't worry about me, I'm just always that anomaly that somehow no one can help :frowning:
I just always end up with the PC that is not like other people's
NessyYesterday at 1:48 AM
Nah I'm going to help!
Okay weird question: is there music?
FlopsyYesterday at 1:51 AM
I have a sound folder
NessyYesterday at 1:51 AM
Is there a file inside that folder called "patched"?
FlopsyYesterday at 1:52 AM
yes
NessyYesterday at 1:53 AM
Alright we are going to try something else. Let's go back for a moment to DosBox and mount everything again but at the end instead of running the actual game type "setup"
FlopsyYesterday at 1:53 AM
Is there a command to skip the intro cut scene
NessyYesterday at 1:53 AM
The entire thing no... you can just click on the screen to skip each part though.
FlopsyYesterday at 1:54 AM
I just want to check if namida's demo is set up correctly but I have to sit through that Lemmings breaking out of the computer video all the time
NessyYesterday at 1:54 AM
You can't click on the screen to skip it?
FlopsyYesterday at 1:54 AM
no
NessyYesterday at 1:55 AM
Alright let's go back into Dos Box and run that "setup" I mentioned.
Let's start there.
FlopsyYesterday at 1:56 AM
brilliant, L3D has crashed now on loading Fun level 1
did you manage to load namida's demo?
NessyYesterday at 1:56 AM
Yeah I was able to.
FlopsyYesterday at 1:56 AM
I am just not meant to use Dos Box
NessyYesterday at 1:56 AM
I had this problem as well.
FlopsyYesterday at 1:56 AM
I suck at it
NessyYesterday at 1:56 AM
The crash I mean.
Okay new plan. Go to your C: drive. Just the actual thing no subdirectories.
FlopsyYesterday at 1:57 AM
ok
NessyYesterday at 1:57 AM
Do you see a folder called LM3D.CD
FlopsyYesterday at 1:58 AM
no
NessyYesterday at 1:58 AM
Is that folder in your actual L3D folder?
FlopsyYesterday at 1:59 AM
no
NessyYesterday at 2:01 AM
Okay okay so go to this thread ->
https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=4257Lemmings 3D Save with all levels unlocked
Lemmings 3D Save with all levels unlocked
Download that folder in the first post.
FlopsyYesterday at 2:01 AM
ok
NessyYesterday at 2:01 AM
And extract to C:\LM3D.CD\ like the post says.
FlopsyYesterday at 2:03 AM
ok
NessyYesterday at 2:03 AM
And then try to run the game again. If it still doesn't work let me know.
FlopsyYesterday at 2:04 AM
Ok waiting for the game to finish the intro cut scenes
Since I can't skip any of it for some reason
Really annoyed that there is no sound, I always have issues with DOS Box
If I could I would just avoid DOS Box at all costs, I'm only putting up with it to help namida debug
NessyYesterday at 2:07 AM
Yeah :frowning:
I still don't understand why you can't skip.
FlopsyYesterday at 2:07 AM
Game crashed again when trying to load Fun levels
just black screen and nothing
NessyYesterday at 2:08 AM
Okay Plan B... now move "LM3D.CD" into your actual "L3D" folder
Sorry if I'm a little bit all over the place :\
Trying to figure things out.
FlopsyYesterday at 2:09 AM
It's ok, I just wish I could skip the intros
I have sound now
And I can skip through the intro
NessyYesterday at 2:10 AM
Progress!
FlopsyYesterday at 2:11 AM
Ok new issue, another reason why I hate DOS Box
The game is playing at 1FPS
NessyYesterday at 2:12 AM
Okay that's an easy fix. Go back to the .config file real quick.
FlopsyYesterday at 2:12 AM
ok
Another side issue, I was only finding quadcore from namida's demo
the rest of the levels were the original names
I have config file open now
NessyYesterday at 2:15 AM
Okay scroll through the file until you find:
core=
cputype=
cycles=
Now replace with:
core=dynamic
cputype=auto
cycles=max
FlopsyYesterday at 2:15 AM
ok
rerun DOS Box now?
NessyYesterday at 2:16 AM
Yes. It's a pain to keep mounting stuff so before you close the .config file here's another tip :wink:
FlopsyYesterday at 2:17 AM
yeah I see it at the bottom
NessyYesterday at 2:17 AM
Sorry I forgot it was at the bottom and was looking for it.
So yeah you type the commands there and it will automatically run them whenever you run DosBox.
That way you don't have to type mount this and that every time XD
FlopsyYesterday at 2:19 AM
Thank you Nessy, you sorted it out for me :smiley:
