Unofficial Tex Murphy

Alright, I got a flash drive from dr. paul about 2 summers ago with all the tex games loaded up (except overseer). Well, I got an itch for some Tex Nostalgia tonight and tried to play uakm, but it would not open. I changed my drives in the config file to match the drive for my flash drive, and all it does is pop up a window saying that I need to "Insert Disc 2" I tried just clicking away on ok till the prompt went away, but it never did. And now I'm stuck trying to figure out how to get this to work.

I hope someone on the board can give me some tips on how to get it going. feel free to private message me, or you can find me on facebook as well. Thanks guys.

the config file are you mentioned is it the dos box config file, as this is the file you need to change.

I know jim had a problem with his flash drive when he got a new pc & I had a look at his config file to see how it was written. I did get it working on my flash drive but since Jim only had the drive so he didn't have load the cd's I steered him to GOG to downlaod the hard disk version & then he didn't have load anything.

yes, that is the file that I change the mount drives for the discs for the game. I changed the drive letters like I was supposed to, but all that pops up is a window saying "Please insert disc 2 into drive d:" My D: drive is for the dvd player and e: drive is where I actually put game and music cd's in. the flash drive is usb port N: I changed the lettering around to match the usb port that my flash drive is in, but still no go. it seems like it's wanting to work but it will not get past the whole needing disc 2 thing.

I will send you a PM

I have recently reinstalled UAKM (with DosBox) for my daughter to play and ran into the same problem you are. It took me a while to figure it out. In the moon folder there is a config.ini for the game itself. This config file is supposed to be updated by the config menu where you pick the CD drives, etc. For some reason this file isn't getting updated by the config menu. If you manually open the config.ini using windows Notepad and edit the CD entries to the right ones (and save the file) it seems to stay correct after restarting Dosbox.

Just make sure to mount the disk folders correctly in dosbox as well. In fact, you need to do this prior to running the game with the above changes. Assuming you have a flash drive with letter N and the directories are /uakm/disk1, /uakm/disk2, etc, the mount command would look like this....

mount d n:\uakm\disk1 -t cdrom -label DISK1
mount e n:\uakm\disk2 -t cdrom -label DISK2

....and so on. Then in the config.ini you would change the entries to match the drive letters you picked with the mount command.

I spent quite a bit of time scratching my head with this one. Hopefully this helps you. Soon you will be "Cuffing up Flemm".....

not sure if his problem has been fixed, I did tell him to check the tex ini file.

Tex.ini !!! Can't believe I said config.ini. Got Windows on my mind I guess!!
