LordNews Issue #11 Appendix File: Unusable-Igms.Txt: June 2007 Update: Note: All fidotel.com links are no longer usable. ============================================================ 03/26/04 Notice: Any file links for lordlegacy.org site are no longer valid, as of December 2002. Please refer to the Castle Camelot LORD IGMs Page online for correct file URLs. http://camelot.legendarydragons.com/camelot6.htm http://camelot.legendarydragons.com/cam6data.htm ========================================================== Disclaimer: *ALL* programs listed on this page are unusable on MY 933 Mhz Pentium IV system. I can NOT help it if they are usable for others, if I don't know at what CPU speed they stop working. The programs listed here are clearly identified as to what makes them unusable. All have been tested using pent2.exe and tppatch.exe. And I am in the process of retesting EVERY program listed here with ctbppat.exe. But it does some odd things to programs, making some patched IGMs unstable. Donald. 05/18/02 7:59 pm. Until igms are retested under Windows XP SP2 at 2.40 GHz, I will not change the UNUSABLE designation of any IGM listed in this file, unless I know the igm works for another person. In which case, I will add a footnote to that effect. Donald 01/26/2007 01:10 am. ================================================================ Unusable IGMs Listing Section: Summary of problems: Configuration failures: -------------------------------------------- Dragon's Bone Shipyards - can't get configuration to work. Author, Marvin Wise, in 2002 was supposed to work on an update. However he disappeared and has never been heard from since then in the last 4+ years. (Jan. 2007 edit) Chapel of St. George - Its CONFIG.EXE program, after RTE200 patching by Paul Romine, works for him at 1.0 Ghz under Win2000. But it does NOT work, exiting with RTE 104 error message, when used at 2.40 Ghz under WinXP SP2. Authors were in Sweden and I have no idea whether they can be located today or not. (Jan. 2007) 3rdparty.dat corruption: ------------------------ Lord Trivia v1.00 gives user a RTE 002 message. Player's Guild - Crippled; refers to info.1 file. Ignores valid LORD directory paths: Willy Tart's Carnival, and Magic Kiss. They also refuse to exit to DOS. Usage of all four igms results in 3rdparty.dat file being corrupted in various ways. Dangerous IGMs: --------------- Lord Life caused a total Windows ME system crash. HateMail drops user to DOS upon exit, where the user can do damage to a BBS's hard drive. Therefore, I do NOT recommend that ANYONE use it on their BBS. (Jan. 2007 edit) Miscellaneous problems: ----------------------- Dragon's Breath Square illegally tries to access LPT1. If it is attached to a scanner, you end up with an unstable system until you reboot. This occurred to me in 2002 on my Windows ME system. Red Dragon Flea Market, once RTE200 patched, generates an RTE 104 error message. Cathedral of Nalishar is unusable both in Local Mode and in BBS games. Its author left out the required install.exe file. Manual install instructions are worthless. Dave's Inn is unusable, will be rewrote eventually by Marty Blankenship. Spellbinder: In re-evaluation, was unable to get program to work. Reason for failure unknown. Note: In table, * indicates program has been re-verified as being unusable. 05/15/02 Note: After patching with ctbppat.exe, Castle of the DreamLord and Dragon Town University remained unusable. Both gave RTE 104 error messages when used. 09/13/2002: D.T.U was fixed by another person, however I can NOT distribute it online. Author requested in docs that no one distribute altered copies of his work. DTU14p.zip file is available from me by email request. -------------------------------------------------------------- 01/26/2007: Doug Rhea located Joshua Eckerman in May 2005, however things did not turn out well. He still had his source code for all of his IGMs - Dragon Town University, King's Dilemna, Mirror of Illusion, and Talent For The Skill - on 3.5" disks. But he could not read them. He mailed them to Doug and the U.S. Post Office managed to lose them. So those four igms are 100% Dead now as a result. Joshua retroactively authorized distribution of my RTE200 patch updates of all of his LORD IGMs. They are now listed on the Castle Camelot LORD IGMs Page. http://camelot.legendarydragons.com6/htm --------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-RTE200 Unusable IGMs Listing Section: http://www.fidotel.com/public/lord/files/igms/cn20.zip Cathedral of Nalishar v2.00 99 KB * http://www.fidotel.com/public/lord/files/igms/davin091.zip Dave's Inn v0.91 117 KB * -- Released as v1.00 by Marty Blankenship on July 29th, 2003. http://www.fidotel.com/public/lord/files/igms/ship009.zip Dragon's Bone Shipyards v0.09b 166 KB * (** DEAD IGM **) *** Author Marvin Wise was temporarily located in late June 2002.
