so what you are saying is in dos box just type in
WC Origins -k not "wc WC Origins -k" ???
To be clear: it's 'wc Origin -k', without the quotes, of course.
As I recall, the CD version of the game, if you're playing using its installer, will be run through some batch files (.bat) that do not handle the necessary command line arguments. You can either edit the batch file and add in the debug arguments to where it actually calls wc.exe, or you can copy everything to the harddrive, and play from there.
The debug mode with a Deluxe CD-Rom copy of WC and WC2 DOES work in dosbox.
(If you're playing WC2, or its add ons in Dosbox, be certain to run loadfix -1 first, or you will experience crashes in the game flow due to the game not being able to handle actually having all 640k of low memory available.)
What exactly do I have to type in the DOSBOX command line, with the GOG version of wc1. When I open DOSBOX manually from the GOG folder, it starts with Z:\
thanks
Use the "mount" command to add drives. Typically, mount c: c:\
It will complain about saying you shouldn't use the main c: blah blah blah...anyway, change to the drive and run the game from your installed directory/drive. You can also setup any commandline after the [autoexec] line that will...auto-execute any command you specify.
I thought there was an easier trick to enable the cheats. All this manual mounting typing is a real pain.. is it possible to edit the WC_single.conf of the wc shortcut? instead of launching wc.exe, one could edit it to origin-k etc.
Thanks for your help so far, but my file looks a bit different. where should I place the -Origin -k exactly?
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
@ECHO OFF
mount C "..\WC"
c:
loadfix -1 wc
exit
