How do you minimize dosbox because I can only escape it by left alt escape but I wanna do the shortcut you did but when I leave it it unmout it and just makes a shortcut to dos box unmounted
The only way to leave does box is by alt-esc and then closing the program with the x. If I made it appear like I did otherwise, I'm sorry for the confusion.
A tip for anyone using the Steam version. I haven't been able to get the mapper mod to work when putting it in the "ARENA" folder. All seems to be fixed by putting it in the "DOSBox-0.74" folder instead.
Awesome find! I'm going to test this when I get home. Thank you for sharing. Did you have to put a -2 at the end of the mapper file name or did you put it in as is from the download?
Thanks i was watching how to fix keymapper thing on steam version then released in end its not there but read comment and then description in end 😂 and there i read the solution finally fixed!!! Thanks
I really just want to remove the cutscenes entirely they are so annoying how every single time you die (which is every 5 seconds) it plays a cutscene. I also wish the game was just easier like reducing enemy damage since the game is nearly impossible to play in the early game
I can't seem to figure out what I actually need to type into DOSBox to get the right directory. I've tried writing out my file path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Elder Scrolls Arena\ARENA" but it doesn't seem to work
Make sure that you don't have an Arena folder inside of an Arena folder. If so you'd have to add \Arena to the end of what you posted as your file path.
Do I have to use DosBox with the Steam Version too? Because the Remapped Mod doesnt Work, Game ist still in aspect Ratio, even tho I changed it, idk whats happening xD PS. I actually edited the wrong config, but the remapped mod still doesnt Work 😢😢😢
For some reason, since making this video, the steam version seems to be hit and miss with users. I'm not sure if it's some kind of PC spec thing or if Steam has updated their version outside the scope of these mods. The last time I checked, the GOG version still worked, and over time, it has been the better version to go with. The only issue with that is I believe you still have to buy a Bethesda game on GOG in order to get both Arena and Daggerfall for free off GOG.
@@LinkinForcer I think I bought Morrowind there, I'll have to check on that tomorrow, and try it on the GOG version. Thanks!😊 hope the game ist worth the struggle 🤣
When I try to launch the steam version using Dosbox, after entering the command "C:\>arena", Dosbox says "MSCDEX Driver not installed". Do you know how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance for any help.
There may be an issue with the Steam version. You are the second one to have issues with it that has been reported to me. If you can get the game through GOG or another way I show in the video. Then see if you have the same issue.
would you recommend eye of nocturnal and better lighting? (better lighting is very easy. I do want to mention the remap doesn't work as far I know for the steam version if you put them arena, they should be put in dosbox. can you confirm this one way or another?
You can add the other mods if you want. I have no experiance added those. As for as the remapping mod, it has worked for me regardless of what version of the game I was playing.
@@LinkinForcer oh I think you should mention you cannot use the keys normally with remapper if you want to type text. It is explained in the mod but i think it can help if it is said again by you in the pinned comment
The steam version stopped working for me, idk why, but I followed the steps here for the GOG one and it worked! Idk what's the difference between the versions though xD

That's going to be on the game. Especially one this old, I'm sure that there are misspellings and Grammer errors. I doubt it's the mods. Especially since the only mod that does anything in game is the sound mod and the key mapping mod. Everything else is before you create a character.

I was just looking into this, here is the fix. Put the mapper.txt file in the main Arena folder, and then open the dosbox_arena.conf file in Notepad or notepad++ and change the mapperfile=mapper-0.74.map line near the top to mapperfile=mapper.txt

Will the glitches work in the steam free version?
All the patches or mods will work with the steam version. Just make sure you drop everything into the main directory.

You could try removing the files. Not sure if that would break the game though.

Not that I'm aware of. Use your speaker volume rocker or turn down the volume on your PC

It should be there when you launch the mod.
