Problems!

Mandrake42 · 10-26-2001, 09:35 AM

Ok I have a few problems. Ive left the town and in the manual it says to have fight selected with a weapon in hand and get close to a foe and left click to attack it. Left clicking does nothing. Zip. Nix. Nadda. So I run away and go back to the gates and left click. Ive left clicked all over the damn thing, everywhere. All with absolutly no result. So I cant fight and I cant get back into town. Not a good start.

Please read this and let us know what cursor is showing on your screen. Also, info about what items your selected character is carrying/wearing might be helpful, as well as your O/S and hardware.

Ok its the standard look curson unless I try to left click in which case it turns into the movement cursor. Ive never seen any of those other cursors. I was following the turorial in the manual so my charachter is a human warrior with his points spent in strength, agility and fortitude. His skills spent in sword, shield and leadership (1 each). He has a longsword,buckler, doublet, trousers and suede boots.

My system:
PIII 866
32 mb Geforce 2 Mx 400 with Detonator 12.41 drivers
20 gb harddrive with full game install and 500gb swap file
Windows 98 SE
256 MB ram
50 X cdrom

Very odd. The way to attack a creature is most certainly left-clicking on it while "fight" is selected. If you click on the "fight" button your weapon should come up, if you go to inventory then it had already been selected. And it should just be one click of the mouse, if you're moving around when it's selected then your mouse is treating it as a left-click and hold.

May want to check on what's assigned to each key too, possibly go back to default if you've re-assigned any.
