garr so you only got the game to work on xp?Any early version of windows should work as long as it's ntfs, er.. 32 bit. That's the only windows version of the game available from http://www.curlysworldoffreeware.com/games/view/238 (http://www.curlysworldoffreeware.com/games/view/238)
interesting,
as I said before I worked for intel for a while so i still have my INTEL XP pro cd, which is good FOREVER with unlimited installs, great stuff to have,
sadly i dont have the intel win7 or 8 or 8.1 but shrug
anyway yea I got the game to work in dosbox, just know this
the 4.5 installer = poop
the game was made very poorly with that code, so even when u get the windows exe and rar files, it fails even on the setup bat, then you compat mode that and it fails in game
so yea dosbox with the rars not exisiting and just straight files, worked for me, just no sound!
hmm
urmm i dont think you understand what i mean garr:-[ :-[ :-[It does in fact work. My problem was not properly altering the destination section, then failing to start the game with the QFG.exe. Many thanks. By the way, huge kudos on finding BT. he he he :-[ :-[ :-[
thats a direct quote and after doing what it said..
the game runs FINE in win7 64 bit
so you have the windows exe... and the setup.bat
dont even touch the setup.bat
just right click the EXE... in the box that has the exe you type --setup after it so it looks like this
QFG.exe --setup.exe
it will then LAUNCH the setup or you can just make a setup config yourself if you know how (i did)
btw its never default for full screen ever, just so you know
if you got it fullscreen you set it up that way
if a full screen was default on this game it would hurt it, badly if not setup at the right res
so 90% of games this old run in a box, hell even qfi did at first,
so you pick 640x480 there is no way a new age desktop can have that res my lowest is 800x600 so yes its in a window,
to solve that just edit the config to 0 for windowed.. tadaaa
anyway it works mate
if anyone needs help getting it to work, without XP or 32 bit lemme know
Hero 6 had nothing to do with funding, it was a freeware game back 10+ years ago when that's what the adventure game community did. It fell apart due to a horrible management structure when no one person, or small group of people, was in charge. Everyone got a say and all opinions were given equal validity and nothing got finished and no decisions were ever laid down in concrete. The story was also rewritten a number of times. They changed from developing their own engine halfway through production to using AGS which slowed things right down. Basically, it was a mess behind the scenes. I wouldn't want to think how many people worked on that project over the years, must be over 100.
Honestly, even though I've heard it was picked up again (also not the first time I've heard that) I harbour a lot of doubts about the ability to finish it.
Graphics aren't as good as a regular windows installed game, but still pretty good.
??
what kinda comment is that collector!!
me wants!
i mean i can get it to run but hey! if you can build it... we will .. come?

It is the same graphics as the original Any differences you might notice have more to do with the differences between your current system than the one you had when the game was new. Perhaps you had a smaller monitor back then?
The "Quest For Glory 5.exe" is just a launcher I wrote and included for a number of reasons including to use a higher res icon without further editing the game's main EXE even more than what I already had.
As to the GOG package, it is nearly the same as what you will get using my installers since I was the one who designed their QfG package. And like my QfG5 installer, it includes my fix for the QuickTime lockups.
I found my CD version of QFG4. Installed dosbox on both win7/64bit and winxp/32 bit and installed the game CDless. The game looks so much better on 32 bit vs 64 bit. And on 64 bit the mouse is very sensitive. Guess I could slow it down somewhat. Anyhow, even though QFG5 has an exported paladin from QFG4, thought I'd play through QFG4 and export as paladin and compare it to what is on the QFG5 disk.
Got that taken care of.
Many years ago, when playing QFG4, didn't realize the 3 guys sitting in the Inn at night are characterizations of a very fat Jack Nicholson, an emaciated Rodney Dangerfield, and Royal Dano. Quite amusing to hear them talk!

just make sure to patch up to date,(seems it is)So, which liberates version to use? there are two or three hot fixes. Will using one work on my game already installed? How would I go about installing liberates and will it negate current saves?
and then just use liberatis

i never died of hunger in the game, only got prompted once ever
to get out u need to go towards the castle and to the inn get papers signed after letting the gnoll go(not the huge troll the little guy trapped in there)
you get papers from a room where a troll is sleeping,
orr..
you can just cast fireball at the gate guard, which is funny...
arx is another one of those almost rogue games that wont hold your hand or show anything on maps etc
soo yea :P prolly why there are only 4 side quests
1 of which u can fail (finding the little girl) once u get prompted to do so if you dont find her within 10 game minutes she dies.. all fun !
how did ya do it!?
