64 Character create/save problem
Posted: Sun Nov 10, 2013 1:04 am
Please Help! But before I ask, here's what I'm using so far:
Windows
CCS64
Bards Tale version - From the Adventures' Guild, Arnolds, and a half dozen others
1)
When I create a new character, I can't select <-- abort when trying for new stats. I have to accept it, name them, then delete that one and try again.
I'm thinking is there a button the 64 had that my keyboard can't represent?
But, on BT3 the spacebar works fine for this.
2)
When I create a new character and delete it, it says there's no one here by that name! (or similar saying) I check the roster, and it's there.
I try to delete it again, it seems to work, but check roster again and its still on there.
Or I'll create a character, check the roster, it's not there - mostly this.
Overall it seems to do random things, doesn't delete, doesn't create, after deleted - name shows up again on roster.
In comparison BT3 works fine.
This happens with every BT1 version I've found mentioned above, so it must be something I'm doing.
And after reading what you guys do to the games, I know I'm in the right place!
3)
Off topic - How do I type "star" ? Load"*",8,1
When using CCS64 I can't find it on the keyboard
Now that's out of the way, I can say how excited I am to find all this stuff this week.
I got into BT around when it first came out (in Australia, late eighties) I was 10. So to find it all here, being able to play it, see the pics, remember the quotes, I'm an excited boy again!
I've downloaded the manuals, maps, and ready to go. I never got to complete any of them so I can now get back to conquer the towers
Someone mentioned the Arnold version is the closest or an original, so hopefully I can go with that.
Except for my little problem
Thanks in advance
