Just here again after some years to provide an update to my earlier struggles from back then; I actually ran into many of the same issues as before (I'm doomed to repeat myself over and over again, huh), but was able to resolve them too. I've been happily mapmaking for the past few days with no...

Hey guys, just logged in after a bazillion years to reply to this. I had the same problem (game launched, I could hear audio, but would auto-minimise no matter how or how many times I opened it). The first part of the proposed fix worked, i.e. setting my Desktop resolution to 1024x768. But then...

Alright! After extensive testing and a bit of headache, I have figured out the source of the crashes. For me, at least, the following does not produce a crash: 1. Create a 512x512 image in GIMP. 2. Make sure only a continuous square area of 255x255 of that image, or less, is non-black i.e. any...

Awesome! Thanks!! Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to open my .raw files to start the map making process. I'm using GIMP to export a heightmap as raw image data (file extension .data), then rename the extension to .raw manually. Then, when I try to open it in lndromat, the program just...

Wow Byron I wanna kiss you right now. <3

Omigod blue fire is one of my favourite things ever. Good thing I study in a field that has a lot of Bunsen burners in my life...! x) Thank you for this mod!

I'm guessing the lack of a Download button on this page means this project has been taken down? That's unsettling; I've been told this is the best map editor out there for BnW .lnd files...

Hey there! This is super awesome. First of all, I didn't expect people to still be busy tinkering away at this game. Just wow! I have a couple of problems with some of your changes though, specifically: wolves are sheep now most worship sites start off already built now. which I thought...

Skirmish maps which are .txt files need to be placed in the Black&White\Scripts\Playgrounds folder in order for them to appear in the Skirmish Game selection screen.

Nice. Some pretty useful tips here. Didn't know about the ring of artifacts wonder building trick. I have another use for artifacts: if you drop one in a village you wish to convert, it will land you a sizable amount of belief (anywhere from 120-350 I've seen so far - not sure what it scales...

Hm, pretty cool. When you say "maxed out with artifacts", do you mean the arbitrary items (eg. a rock) you can place in your village, which your villagers will dance around until it glows and shows your player/god symbol on top? How do you enhance a wonder by placing an artifact? Can you simply...

Can I just say thank you very very much for your work? Salvaging a cool site like Kay's Place and additionally bringing out all these compatibility patches so we can very easily play the old games again on newer OSes without almost any effort on our part is absolutely memorable. You're doing...

Heya, I know this is a severe necropost, but I just tried to play my .sad files again in WinAmp and it suddenly doesn't work anymore. I downloaded a new version of WinAmp (which was actually the same version), I redownloaded the plug-in responsible for reading .sads and I tried the SADEX GUI...

Ah, thanks! That's a lot of great advice. This all leads to yet another question, though, I'm afraid: Where do I install the maps to make them work correctly? I've tried the Playgrounds folder place for Skirmish ones (as the original three are already in there), the Multiplayer folder for the...

Here I was thinking people had given me thousands of solutions! Haha, silly me. Oh, that wasn't a rant by the way, I don't really mind randomness in my posts, as long as they're accompanied by SOME seriousness every now and then. And my Creature eats the trees!  :no Looks like there will be no...
