Hello, Michael.

I'm having that weird problem again with the latest DOS release (the one off of
Gameport's site). LORDCFG is saying that it's incompatible with my current install of LORD. Unfortunately, I don't have a current install of LORD; just this new one. Do you have a solution to that?

Later,
Sean

Just an FYI.. I downloaded lord407.zip from gameport.. Unzipped it to
its own directory and then ran lordcfg.exe It asked me to Upgrade/create
the lord.dat file and then went on into the new lordcfg.

Since this is a new lord game, have you attempted to delete the lord.dat
file and then rerun Cfg?

There never was a LORD.DAT file created. IIRC, this is a specific bug concerning OS/2, but unfortunately, I can't remember anymore. But this is what
I get when I run LORDCFG:

This version of LordCfg is not meant for your version of
Lord.

Cannot continue. Halting.

...there is no LORD.DAT file in the door's directory either.

I somehow ended up with that same situation today, and what happened to me, may
be what you are dealing with. The LORDCFG.EXE for DOS LORD v4.08 beta is 183,440 bytes, dated 09-23-2006. Somehow, it got replaced with the one from LORD/32, which is 463,360 bytes in size. I was trying to use LORDCFG after one
of my igms crashed and I had to close down that DOS window. LORD has a problem
sometimes when that happens and you re-enter the game with the same character.
So I was going to use Lordcfg to reset the On_now flag for that player to False. Lpedit can't do it correctly due to some changes Preslar made that change content of playext.dat and playext2.dat in relation to the on_now flag's
status.

If you try to use a LORDCFG.EXE from Lord/32 with a DOS LORD game, it gives you
error messages and unhandled exception errors in particular. And it says stuff
like this when you try to use Node Configuration: "The node config is only used by LORD for DOS.". When I saw that, I finally figured out that my LORDCFG.EXE from my Lord/32 game had replaced the one needed by DOS LORD. So I
unzipped lordcfg.exe from the lord.zip in l408b-d1.zip beta archive for DOS Lord 4.08 beta, and things started working right again.

So make sure that your lordcfg.exe is the RIGHT one, for the version of Lord you are using. Oh and you can't edit a player.dat file used by DOS LORD using the LORDCFG Player Editor if that is the one for LORD/32 I found out. That resulted in another of those aggravating "unhandled exception error" messages.


I also came across a LORD data file today that I had never noticed before, or seen before, named netlord.dat. Its a binary file, and I don't know what its purpose is.

Hope this info on what happened to me if of use to you and others. Incidentally, I don't think Preslar is paying attention to Fidonet's Lord echo any more, since he has not been around here in several months. Donald

Thanks and I appreciate it. I'm running 4.06 right now and it's working fine. But if I decide to try to fool around later with 4.07, I'll remember this.

Incidentally, I don't think Preslar is paying attention to Fidonet's
Lord echo any more, since he has not been around here in several
months.

I sent him three emails and didn't get an answer, so I think he's probably blown off LORD.

Sean's not the only person who has tried to get answers on LORD's development status from Michael. I wrote to him over a week ago about the problems I've had with DOS LORD and LORD/32 not letting you change Skill Class in the tavern,
with no response. I don't know what's up with him, but he seems to be ignoring
everyone's email regarding LORD technical support. And no one that I have talked to via email has been able to get email from him recently. One can't get
any relevant information on Lord's development status from the Lordlegacy web-site or from his michaelpreslar.com site either. All the latter ever has is those pictures of his children, and nothing else at all. An increasing number of people that I am aware of are getting the idea that he's dumped LORD development, and we all just want to just know what is going on.

It is very hard to understand what Michael is doing at times, but especially in
the last several months. He needs to let people if he is still going to support/develop the Lord programs or not. There are just too many little bugs in v4.08's beta archives (which no one can even get their hands on any more), including the corrupted lordtxt.dat file. And if its not corrupted, then why does pkunzip say that the Lord.zip file fails CRC check, that is inside the dos
lord v4.08 beta archive from late September 2007.

BTW, I also used the mike@lordlegacy.com email address, which is the only one he's said he wants people to use when they write to him. Donald

Ok. Lets take that... 4.08 BETA! Ok you know what B stands for. BUGS!
Yes there are bugs in Beta's. Please stop running them you can not
handle it. And if I remember correctly the beta started getting passed
out and THAT is the reason that it is not there any more. So.. Lets look
at this. Beta Software that he is not passing out and talking to you
about. Maybe you should load 4.07 and send him a bug from that one. (A
real one not one that you have to load your IGM and then go in and then
when you come out the data file is messed up.

so, what's wrong with that? he may be 'mr lord and nothing else' to you, but that's just not the case.

An increasing

dude, seriously.. who gives a shit. you dont even run a bbs!

only a scad few are running this beta, they can just go back to running an earlier version.

It is very hard to understand what Michael is doing at times, but especially

that's because you are not his 'good friend'.

BTW, I also used the mike@lordlegacy.com email address, which is the only o he's said he wants people to use when they write to him. Donald

a lot of people that i know.. who know YOU.. say they grow to ignore your emails.

really, just let it rest, i dont see why YOU have your thong in a bundle.

what i would like to know is how many times you've approached metro gameport asking them if you could take over?
