I have the same problem to

Carger2000 · 09-12-2005, 05:07 PM

Hmm so that map problem remained, just as I suspected. Because this release came directly from Sunstorm meaning the 'key behind the door' error is still in. Well, that's what I assume. Charlie, you did it again

Hmmm....so you guys have had this problem too. Is there any way around this problem?

Oh by the way, I'm playing the "DOS" version of the game on Windows 98. Yep, I'm very "old school".

Ras · 09-12-2005, 05:21 PM

I get a sumo. You'll have to swghost out of there if you don't.

I tested the rooftops map (it's different than the skyscraper map). It works fine other than the bosses not spawning if you play it legit. The only cheating I had to do for that map was swghost into the cubbyholes where the keys were held that would have normally opened up after you killed the bosses.

Not sure the problem that the guys above are explaining, but I haven't loaded the map up to check.

T-6000 · 09-12-2005, 11:42 PM

Well I resorted to just plainly cheat and proceeded through the rest of the game with no problems, until I'm at the last level called "Skylike" (at least I think it's the last level). None of the bosses on that level will show up now! What gives?

I believe a simple work-around was extracting the map from the .GRP-file and launch it as an usermap. Don't know for sure, I haven't tried it out myself.

Btw, you're T-6K from CC?

Oh right. Well if haven't checked yet either but I assumed it was the same situation, sorry

"Ha ha ha, it's me!"

Sorry, I couldn't help but do that. Yep, it's me from the CC board. But the curious thing that I find is that some people have this problem while others don't. But I have to ask, what was the final boss in WD? And after you beated him, what happened in the end? Or was that just it?

T-6000 · 09-13-2005, 03:23 PM

That's what I meant. I got so little sleep last night (My legs were itching me like mad last night, no thanks to those damn flees that somehow keep comming into my room) and I had just gotten up when I made that post, so a few details will kinda slip my mind. Anyways, I think the WD that was found was a bit of an unpolished version. That may explain some of the bugs in a couple of the maps. I'm not suprized since the company did go out of buisness and was placed on the shelves. There weren't many new things in this expansion, but it was the quality of the Expansion I liked, and to me that's what counts in a game. I did like the level design for the levels of the expansion (though some did feel a little too maze like) and some of the new things that this expansion had (such as going out of a jumbo jet plane to get a keycard. Man that was tricky, and insane of Lo Wang to do! :O). I do hope that there is a 'patch' of some sort to fix the boss loading problems, though I doubt it since this game is around 8 years old. I would have definatly eaten this expansion up if it was released in the market years ago, but I still enjoyed playing throught the levels. I am irked that I can't quite beat it. Has anyone beaten the game yet, and if so what happens in the end? Does Lo Wang actually get rid of Zilla this time?

Shadow Warrior will always remain my favorite "classic DOS game", and I have played through it more times than any other DOS game (Even more than the Doom and Quake series). I loved it's style, gameplay, level design, and it's hillarious and memorable main character Lo Wang. Even to this day, I still play the game on occasion (The last time I played it was earlier this year around January). I can play through it many times and never get tired of it.

PsychoGoatee · 09-19-2005, 10:00 PM

This expansion is awesome. And thanks for porting it, Proasm.

So, I've only played the first level, is it possible to beat the game, or will these bugs stop it?

ProAsm · 09-20-2005, 12:41 AM

Well I've played right through twice now to test the changes and I did not experience any bugs.

Dennis J · 09-20-2005, 05:50 PM

How about the bug with bosses not showing up on low difficulty levels?

ProAsm · 09-21-2005, 05:46 AM

Ahh that I dont know, I play everything in skill 3 always.
What happens where, maybe its a code problem.

ShadeEX · 09-28-2005, 12:07 PM

Ive made a little bat file... for all of you who run Wanton without the JonoFSW Port...

If your game runs slow when you try to run wanton.exe with WDMSound then try this bat file... Run it once and run SW.exe as normall.. but now it is in fact the wanton game... ohh and run the bat file again to cange the game back...

What the file does is rename the SW.GRP to WT.GRP And rename the WT.GRP To SW.GRP....

ShadeEX · 09-29-2005, 08:49 AM

Theres a bug..... well it works but... well the map names are wrong (when you use automap) and the main menu is the same as in SW.....

so i will edit the bat file and post the updated one... Later

EDIT:
Here It is and all is normall now.. New instructions...

Place the bat file in your sw directory, run the bat file... apply the cli2nop fix too the new sw.exe.. Run the bat file again and your done...

Just Run wanton.exe as normall... And everything should work...

What this one does is rename sw.exe to temp.tmp,
then it renames wanton.dat to sw.exe,
And finally it renames the new temp.tmp to wanton.dat

In this order... to prevent errors when using the bat file...

I just finished it. ***** awesome addon. Didn't experience any problems, except for the occasional JFSW crashes.

You use the shortened version.
http://www.proasm.com/files/swtcs/WantDest_v13.zip - 3 megs
The 23 odd meg version is for the original SW as it could not use modified GRP files so even the smallest TC had to add everything, hence the reason SwGroup was made.
There is approx 20 megs (zipped) of stuff which is not required as you already have it.

SamSwashbuckler · 10-14-2005, 08:40 PM

Have all the bugs been worked out? Bosses spawning etc?

ProAsm · 10-15-2005, 02:38 AM

I have never had any Boss problems.
Maybe its because you play on a lower skill that 3 as I believe that is a problem with several TC's.

Nice work ProAsm!

FunDuke... the Anime Girl you mention was supposed to be in the Rooftops level right before you meet "you know who". I think she is even supposed to have a couple of lines warning you about it, but I don't know what they recorded. Not sure why she isn't showing up or if they never got around to placing her.

If anyone is able to fix the boss sequences and have them included in ProAsm's version then I'm sure Joe could be convinced to do an update to the 3DR Front Page Story and point out the JFSW compatible version. I think it would make some people very happy and their lives easier. It'd be good to hear about people playing through it first though to make sure it works from start to finish.

Edit: Actually if I run the boss maps by themselves (extracted from the GRP file) the bosses and the anime girl spawn fine. So I guess it's something on the code side.

You mean the non-problems that Wieder is talking about?

ProAsm · 10-15-2005, 04:51 AM

The original GRP files I had, v1.2 and 1.1 did not have the girl and some other tiles in them, hence the final v1.3 otherwise everything else is there.
I have played the v1.3 twice and everything works as its supposed to, as I say, I dont see a problem.

SamSwashbuckler · 10-15-2005, 05:34 AM

Great! I didn't know this was a new version. Thanks.

As you can just run cli2nop on Wanton.dat instead..

johnb1 · 05-24-2008, 09:41 AM

just wondering
see my previous post..running DosBox, moved to SWARRIOR directory
at SWARRIOR prompt, typed in WantDest .BAT and got...nothing

oh damn, I'm running into walls now

btw, I tried 3drealms' version of WD and it told me "sorry, you can't run this .exe in DOS" so there you are

any help appreciated, ie a link to the cracked file (big or small)

thanks
