    B&W1 Patch Error

    My install path is similar... so the only problem I can think of is that failed previous attempts have not been cleared  from the  registry properly. The game can and will patch fine. I have or have had the game patched and running on W98, W2000 (pro) , XP , Vista , W7 and  W8 RC. . So you must...

    Fireball storm!?

    That's  because you don't understand that scripted events are not  held in any file  that you are familiar with. From memory of 7-8y ago it is the decompiled .CHL files you need to modify then re-compile. That is the end of what I think I can remember so no more help from me.

    You just do what you can with an old game like this.

    BWSurveyor RC2

    The 2 games are entirely  separate using different game engines. I wouldn't expect someone to do that back in 2006 when there were many B&W sites with 500,000+ users/modders. Now in the last part of 2012 this is the last site with the last few members trying to help the few who need it. New...

    B&W1 Patch Error

    Install path ? The game will not patch properly if installed to the default settings on more modern versions of Windows than when the game was released in 2001. Standard advice for the past 10y or so is ....... Uninstall the game Clean the registry with a registry cleaner Optional ...

    Fireball storm!?

    The fire storm is not part of a "map" it is a scripted event. So as FP says you can't do it as a separate map but it could be done  in theory in a modified game. I would not even try it as it would mean a lot of work for little reward. Weeks or months for a few minuets play.

    Football addon not working?

    It is simple  to add a football field to any land,  main game or skirmish. Just add this line to the desired land or map.... CREATE_ABODE(4, "X,Y", "NORSE_ABODE_FOOTBALL_PITCH", 0, 2250, 0, 0) Replacing the X,Y with real numbers for your desired position. BTW most people just call me Grem  :D

    Football addon not working?

    I seem to remember that the football works OK for  Vista/W7. What you can't do is build the scaffolds in game. This map has a football pitch try it out :D http://www.bwfiles.com/files/file.php?id=182

    Who is active in B&W-Multiplayer

    There is  no such thing as a LAN server. To play MP you need 2 players(or more) connected to the same LAN (or VLAN) at the same time. One of these players hosts the game and the other(s) joins that game.

    BnWExpressMapEditor 2.02

    It is an editor that allows you to place objects onto a landscape.  Houses rocks trees people etc. The best way to learn is to look at other peoples work first to see how it works.

    VERY TRAUMED EMERGENCI ON MULTIPLAYER MODE! D:

    Online is not an option. As stated above. Hamachi or other similar allow you to play a LAN game over the internet. So to play MP you need to first' Find someone to play with Then be on the same VLAN both or all players at the same time. Then follow the LAN method to play the game. Online == to...

    Could Not Create The 3D Device

    From memory... I had this problem years back with Vista. I had DX10  then.  After days of looking over all the sites that have now closed I couldn't find an answer for B&W and another game that I forget which one. Any way the cure for me was to install DX9 form the disk without removeing DX10. ...

    Multiplayer Just Give Me the Facts

    Host is the player who's computer acts as the server, it is not an option. We get the same screen on PC, this shows the OTHER computers running the same version of B&W on your network and your own if others are found. You can't MP with just one Game running on your LAN or VLAN.

    Food Consumption & Villagers

    I would not call it lazy design.... this has been  a core feature  of many games and is what most players expect. B&W2 is the exception that broke that  rule. Pass There are 3  different ways  of measuring time as far as I can see ....Player days..Creature  or Villager years ....and none seem...

    GameBalanceVillager - Villager Jobs

    I don't have a problem with the store being the most wanted  building most of the time. Playing to impress with my villagers in "free will" I just build and build and build. This keeps the wood and ore levels down. As for food I set aside an area for fields but don't place all the fields adding...

    Food Consumption & Villagers

    I copied your town style and did some tests some of the results surprised me. VILLAGER Villagers tend to spread themselves out and occupy all available habitable buildings. Not just Housing. They all seem to  use the main store for preference not the nearest for gathered crops,wood or ore...

    Food Consumption & Villagers

    I don't seem to get any problems with food with a patched but no mods of any kind. Here's a couple of screenshots of the village I built on the FLAT to see if I got the same problems. As you can see the grain stores are full and the people are happy there is even spare room in town for the final...
