Need some help with a Daggerfall batch file for DOSBox : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

» Mon Nov 16, 2015 5:43 pm

So, I downloaded Daggerfall for free from the Elder Scrolls website and being that it's kind of a pain to get started, and I just want to double click an icon like I do with all of my other games, I wanted to make a .bat file to do this for me..

I'm no expert with bath files, but I know the general idea..

Here's what I need it to do, and here is what I have in my batch file....so could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong and what I need to change?

I need to launch DOSBox, mount the dag folder as the cd, switch to the C: drive, change directory to the dagger folder, and then launch dagger.exe

Thanks

"c:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.exe"

mount d c:\games\dag\dfcd -t cdrom -label Daggerfall

c:
cd dagger
dagger.exe

With it set like this, all the batch file does is open DOSBox but doesn't do anything else..

Here are some instructions on how to do this

Also, at the UESP, there is an install package that is already set up, if the above does not work, grab that package and see how the batch file is setup there. The UESP also has some community patches and other utilities you may want with this game.

Yeah, it's not working.. It's not making a file called Daggerfall in my DOSBox directory..

What is UESP?

The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages. Look http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Files for the full daggerfall setup.

You can also get a free downloadable installable version from GoG.com, when you buy other Bethesda games they sell there.
