it doesn't work for me , i start the game choose all the stuff and the it goes out why??? :sos: :sos:

[Mighty Midget]

What operating sytem do you have? Are you running it in DOSBox?

[Ermuli]

I uploaded the ISO (BIN/CUE) version of BioForge today to 4shared. Is it OK to publish
the link at ISO Cellar? What about Lion ISO? And where to send box shots now that FTP is down? :unsure:

[Mighty Midget]

Post a request for linking it it the ISO cellar. There you will get a yes or no :)

[The Fifth Horseman]

1.Yes
2.Yes
3.The FTP is back again, except at a different adress. PM on the way.

I also have the same problem in DOSBox :hairpull:
btw: Abandonia, keep up the excellent work, I love your page (and what a fine collecton of smilies hehe) :thanx:

[Sebatianos]

What do you mean it doesn't work??? I just tested it again, it does work, but it's true, that there's a bit longer waiting time before it starts to run (about half a minute) after the selection and the acctual game (with a wildlife picture - because there's no sound it looks like it is frozen, but just give it more time).

[Guest]

oh ok I fixed it. You need the adjust the path in LIONS.CFG to your DOSBox-Path (in my case I had to change it to C:\)

Sorry for the double post but since I'm unregistered I can't edit my own posts :bleh:

[Sebatianos]

Ah, OK. I automatically assume that people don't change directories, so I haven't even tested it for that. Sorry if I seemed a bit rude, but I just get annoyed with people who think everything needs to happen within 3 seconds (even though it seems that this wasn't the case now).

[kamiko]

awww...It doesn't work for me :(

[Sebatianos]

Can you be a bit more specific? What doesn't work?

[kamiko]

I'm still getting this "hr_hires.c #1,-1" message

[Sebatianos]

Strange.

Try this:
Download and extract the archive. You'll have the LION folder there. Now put it directly on X: (usually C:, D: or E:) and run dosbox. Now mount C: X:\ (X being the drive you selected). and then cd lion and lion. Should work.

[Not yet a lion]

I have no sound and can't find a way to setup it... does anyone else have this problem?

Oh and :birthday: Abandonia (and creators mother ^^)!

[Sebatianos]

Try reading the review again... this archive has no sound (the file would have been way too big).

[/b]

So which opening scene do you mean? If it's after the menu when the gameplay should start, just give it a bit more time (and you might try increasing the DOSBox cycles before running the game). If you can't even get to the selection menu then there really might be a problem.

[Sebatianos]

That was me posting (sorry, I didn't realize I wasn't logged in yet).

[kamiko]

it's a pic after I choose all the details of the gameplay

more time? :o
like...20 minutes is not enough?

[Sebatianos]

Sounds a lot. How high are your cycles in DOSBox? (if they're too high the result is slowing things down again). They should be between 12000 and 16000 (with DOSBox 7) and the waiting time will be around 15 seconds (don't try changing the cycles while waiting at that screen).

[Guest]

I tried running this game on a Windows 98, and it turned out fine. But when I tried playing a scenario/simulation, the game closes out. Anyone know how to solve this problem?

[Guest]

I tried to run the game both in dosbox and in windows (win 2k professional). In dosbox it gives me the same stuff other people said "hr_hires.c #1,-1". In win it seems to work, but when I choose the mission and the lion and I start the game, it crashes. Any hint? I didn't understand how should I change the lion.cfg. Currently it is: CDPATH=C:\LION . How should i modify it?

Tnx

[punch999]

Move the game itself to c:\ if it isn't already

Makesure the game file looks like c:\Lion

[ravaged_warrior]

Where can I download the audio for the game?

[Guest]

Hey, will there be a manual for this?

[Lyer]

[/b]

Yep, I know how to use dosbox (even if I'm not an expert for sure). It is c:\LION. But it gives me the same error. How should I modify the file lion.cfg?

[The Fifth Horseman]

How do you mount it in DOSBox? Remember that mounting changes the paths.

Try putting Lion in a directory on your drive C: called Oldgames.
Then in DOSBox:
mount C C:\oldgames

That should work.

[kamiko]

Thanks a lot, Sebatianos! It helped! :D

But I'd gladly see a manual for this game...

Does anyone know how to pass the second mission - mating with lion? 0_o

I've found the male, and I was walking all around him and hunt with him till the time ran out and he still didn't want to mate with me...WHat am I doing wrong?

I don't know about the simulation mode, but I've completed this mission. Try holding the mouse's button with the arrow above the male (at least that's what I've done)...and just watch! :devil:

[sunwife]

Amazing game, just like Wolf. :ok: :kosta: It's a little harder to learn, tough. :tai:

Try eating and drinking first. I only got the male to mate after I had all 4 my bars relatively full

[kamiko]

well, I did it, but I had to be very, very annoying - roaring and running in circles to make the male move on his bloomin' arse XD

[The Fifth Horseman]

Sound like a typical guy. LOL

[thebes]

I used to have this game :ok: . Loved it! Although I did not finish. But it is really neat to play. I haven't tried Wolf yet. Hope I can get this to work. Good pick guys.

[Guest]

:sos: :sos: I Dont play :sos: :sos:

[thewasupkid]

I tried to run the game, and the beginning movie runs then it just kinds of craps out theres graphical artifacts all over the screen please help.

[_r.u.s.s.]

did you try using dosbox downloadable from the site?

[Jinxxed]

Has anyone found out where to download the audio for this game? I've been looking everywhere and it seems like no one has it. I don't know if it's just because I don't know the right places to look for it, or if it really isn't out there.

I don't mind the file size being huge... I just want to be able to play the game with audio somehow :( Thank you if anyone can help!

[LordZsar1]

I agree with him - everything smaller than 2 GB is okay for me.
(do not tell me, that just some audio files are more than half a GB big... or if they reallay are, do it ^^)

[The Fifth Horseman]

You might want to ask for it in our ISO Cellar.

Ah, right... neither of you has registered here, and only registered users with 20+ posts can access it.

[LordZsar1]

Oh, my. Now even while I have not to spend money to get the full game (as I regard these files as parts of the whole program) I still have to do work for it.
Well, if that's the only way... What am I waiting for. ~~

[Nikki]

:\ When I try to start up lion (yes I have read the posts before), it shows the error message: hr_hires.c #1.-1

Then I click on the screen after 30 minues of waiting and it didn't change then i looked on the DOS Box Status screen and it said it has to close due to an error? I tried everything like changing the path to C:/ (witch it already was) I'm still really confused. :\ I really do need help, can someone walk me through this?
:wallbash: :sos: :hairpull:

[The Fifth Horseman]

Been discussed before - read this thread from the beginning.

[Omg.]

Just a really stupid question, can you save a game? I've played Wolf and it let me save, but in lion I can't figure out where it is. :'[ If someone has a screenshot of it can you please put it up to show me. Because Starting over all the time isn't really helping e get cubs. x[

[Guest]

Hello, thanks to all who replied to the help needed posts! Although I didn't post for help, merely reading the forums solved my problem of being unable to run "lion" the game. <_<

However since it was a bit confusing to get it running, I want to say the solution is to use DOSBOX but key in "mount c c:\". Then "c:". Then "cd lion". Lastly "lion".

The idea is to get DOSBOX to read something like "C:\LION>lion"

If it reads "C:\>lion", then you'll get the error message "hr_hires.c #1.-1"
In other words, mounting the LION folder directly on C: doesn't work!

I find this extremely odd because the same is not true for WOLF. If anybody who understands the programming of these games better can provide an explanation for this, I'm all ears.

[_r.u.s.s.]

the same error happens with crazy pinball. i see no reason why could it be like this, but since it occurs with more games maybe its a dosbox issue or something

[Geckotide]

Great game but it's a shame it has no sound :(

[_r.u.s.s.]

well if you managed to get the full iso, there would be sound and everything

how to kill hyenas.

[Guest]

I am running this on DosBox, but as soon as I have selected the stuff, a picture of wildlife flashes up, but then disappears and nothing else happens, and it goes back to the desktop.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Are you sure you're running the game through DOSBox?

[Guest]

How does one change the cycles on the DOS box? I pick everything and get to the wildlife picture and then nothing happens :/

[Mighty Midget]

To increase/decrease the cycles, press Ctrl + f-12 / f-11, or you can set a value in the DOSBox configuration file.

[Guest]

awesome thank you it works perfect now 83

but how do you mate? I figured out everything else but the mating...

[Sebatianos]

Seems like Lions are typical males when it comes to mating... read this post: http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?s...st&p=297514 (http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=15080&view=findpost&p=297514)

[Guest]

but I am the male...

[Sebatianos]

Ah, that's a bit trickier. I succeeded once by attacking the female, but didn't try to kill her. Not sure if it's the right way to go, but it did the trick that one time for me.

[Guest leothelion]

I have two problems, first i can't play missions, i clicked on new player waited over 30 minutes. and Second when i view lion safari i get a hr_flic.c 0-14 error, sometimes instantly sometimes after a few minutes. But sim mode works fine. I have read the entire thread. I have windows xp but i'm running it in DOSBox and i have my DOSBox cycles at 16000. I adjustd the path in LIONS.CFG to DOSBox-Path, the game itself is in a directory on my drive C: called Oldgames.
But it still doesn't work. please help!

I found the problem, i'm retarded. I thought the area were you enter your name was a loading bar.

[Guest_Joe_*]

For those that are still having problems, here's basically what you do:
Download the game
Unzip the files
Extract into the file (Cdriver-which if you followed the directions for Dosbox you'll know where that is.)
Open up Dosbox
If you're still having problems changing it to your C drive simply type: c c:\
After that change to the location- MY EXAMPLE where I placed mine was in my program files
which the command (cd progra~1) then (cd dosbox) then (cd cdrive) then (cd lion) then (lion again)
I too was getting that retarded message so what I did next was go to my lion folder and within it is a
Configuration file which is abbreviated. If it says you do not have a program to launch- just browse your system for notepad.
After you've done that a small, very small, configuration sentence will be there- Instead of the current path
change that to Dosbox-path, and then tell it where you have your file stored.
Once again MY EXAMPLE considering I put the folder in my programs would be
DOSBox-Path=C:\DOSbox\CDrive\LION
Your may vary depending on where you've put yours.

I hope this helps, just simplifying all the other posts on the thread!

~Joe

[alsjunk]

Yeah, I've gotten to play as far as picking an lion/lioness and well then it goes blank. I am fond of the simulation and not missions, so ever time I make an scenario, picking the time,season etc. I continue to lions and once I've picked them all, POP! I go back to my background, it doesn't freeze or anything. It's weird. P.S I don't use the dosbox, I still get the hr_hires.c #1.-1 Though I can get wolf to work, I have wolf and lion in the same place and use the same method of loading it. Any suggestions?

[miter69]

In order to save the game you have to pres alt and o at the same time (o for options) If anyone has a link to the game with either A... a full version with sound or B...a hint and or tip guide it would be appreciated by many...

I first played a Demo of this game from an issue of PC gamer when I was like 13.....thats it...all I played was the demo and I loved it...Im 26 now and have no idea how and or why I remembered to search for this game...any help and or tips for the game would be appreciated...

[Luchsen]

The full version is available at Abandonia's ISO Cellar (http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=12998). But you have to wait a bit since there are two requirements at the moment: one week of forum membership and 20 posts. (Don't spam now. ;) )

[Kitsuneko]

So, getting the ISO file through the forum here, is that the only way to get the sound files? I mean, I don't particularly mind signing up and whatnot, but it'd be nice if there was an easier way...
Also, I have figured out mating, but has anyone actually gotten cubs? How long does it take?

[zoolooau]

Hey ya all

I dont know if anyone still looks on here or has tryed it but if you press space and then press on the moon in the bottom right (having full water and food helps) but it passes a lot of time then just eat, drink and do it again. Still takes a while to get cubs but its helps :)

[Kitsuneko]

Yeah, the problem with that is it doesn't actually make the months or seasons go any faster. You could have played through 1000 days and still not be through the dry season (as has happened to me). It can be useful to pass the time, but then I suppose you run the risk of running out of prey if you do it too much...

[KapuAaka]

I like this game but it's not as good as wolf but still it took forever for me to get it to work but I did it! Question how do you mate?

[Kitsuneko]

One good thing about this game is there's no set breeding season; lions breed year-round. ;) Make sure all of the lions' bars are full or nearly full, and then start clicking on the other lion like mad. It should happen sooner or later.
*note* I have not been able to tell yet if mating is always successful. You may want to try it several times to get pregnant.

[KapuAaka]

Help,I Keep Trying mate with dumb male Water full Food full energy health full,And done mouce thing like you said but all this dumb male dose is stand there and walk away! :angry:

You have to wait untill the male is alone with no other lions around! Hope I helped!

*note* I have not been able to tell yet if mating is always successful. You may want to try it several times to get pregnant.

Yeah, I think found the answer to that because I mated three times with a lion and went all the way to 110 days (by clicking the moon) and nothing happened. :( So I mated again, I tried to mate a second time but it would not let me so, I went to the 110 days and CUBS! So I think you have to mate until it won't let you anymore! My cubs are so cute! :) :love:
*note* Don't you think they should of mentioned that this game shows mating? For the little kids that play this game? lol! :amused:

[KapuAaka]

Ok this is really odd! Has this happened to anyone else before? Ok I started a simulation game and there were two lions. Both girls. Well My pridemate went bizerk and killed a poacher and she went to kill another but the poacher killed her I know this because I was following her wondering what the frigg she's doing! Anyway suddenly 4 cubs appearded out of nowhere and started following me. :oh: I just started the game so they weren't from me or my pridemate. Oh yea I did attack A female lion that was trying to eat my food! :mad: She was limping, mabey the cubs were hers and she died I don't know please reply! Well I take care of them for now! :amused:

[Kitsuneko]

Ooh, wait. So the second time, you used the fast-time with the moon to pass time and you got cubs? I didn't know it could actually speed up gestation time, since it doesn't seem to affect seasons.
Also, yeah, the thing with the lionnesses is really odd, and nothing I've ever seen. Would be interesting, though. ;)

Yep, like I said up there I mated three times then fast forwarded all the way to 110 days (That's how long it takes.) and nothing happened so I mated again and it would not let me mate a second time (I tried and tried) Eventually I gave up and fast forwarded time to 110 days again and cubs appeared! Oh and when I fast forward time my seasons change.

Any 1 here I have a question. On Lion can you have cubs ? Please hep. And if you can please share :)

I'm not a 1, but I can tell you this:
A lion can't get cubs, a lioness can. Talk to your mother.
And somewhere in the 100 posts you'll find plenty info.

Has anyone been able to run Lion using DOSBox? I keep trying, but nothing I do works. I've read the entire thread and tried all the steps people have posted, but I'm still getting the 'hr_hires.c #1.-1' bug.

I tried changing the path in the LION.CFG , but I'm not even sure what I should change it to.

Any help?

I had success using it with VDMS actually, though as i recall you are unlikely to get any sound working with it.

The game is really only a little interesting for a short while though... sleeping, hunting, etc. can only keep you interested for so long :p.

[Kasar]

I've noticed the "the 'hr_hires.c #1.-1' bug" myself sometimes when I'm trying to play in full screen in Dosbox and have figured a way around it.

1. Run MSDos Prompt
2. press Alt+Enter (to go to full screen)
3. At the prompt type "exit" to close MSDos window (still in full screen)
4. Now run Dosbox
5. Press Alt+Enter again to go to full screen for Dosbox
6. Type in the mount commands so you can play your game
7. Run game

So far I have had no problems for running Lion and Wolf in full screen modes following this method. *Also* if you wish to go back to desktop (temporarily) pause Lion or Wolf using 'Space Bar' then press Alt+Enter, remember after using this method always pause before you switch to full screen or back to windowed mode.

Hope this helps those who are having the error.. (still no sound with Lion but I'll be fixing that when I buy the game) :)

[Valar]

Like I said, I've tried everything, and Lion still won't run. I haven't even got it to start; I keep getting the hr_hires.c #1.-1 bug/thing.

Here's what I do:
I mount the drive I keep all my old games in (including Wolf, which runs fine) and then enter this (I use my D: drive for my old games):

D:\>CD Lion
D:\>Lion.exe

Then, I get this screen:

hr_hires.c #1.-1
D:\LION>

What am I doing wrong?

[Straitjacket]

Just a quick question in relation to Lion (excuse my nubbinsry, since it has probably already been answered, and if so I apologise):

I have the CD version of Lion, and have been trying to get it to run on DOSBox, but it complains of the CD needing to be in the CD drive (which it is, I hasten to add). I was hoping to get Lion to run with sound as I've never managed it before... then I read that you could get the full, working version from here from the "ISO Cellar"...?

I was wondering if someone could explain to me what the ISO Cellar is, and also if the full version of Lion with sound is indeed located there?

Sorry for being wordy and possibly repeating stuff that has been answered previously in the thread :S

You must mount your cddrive as D in dosbox:

mount d x:\ -t cdrom

x:\ is your real cddrive letter under windows.

And read this:

[Straitjacket]

I did this but it doesn't seem to be able to find the actual lion EXE on the CD itself - that bit is installed on C, and when that's mounted, of course, the no CD error happens...

[dosraider]

All your problems come from a bad virtual C mount, a bad CD mount, a bad install.
That, or you don't have the original CD but a crummy downloaded one.

[Straitjacket]

I have read the guide, but it more applies to stuff downloaded from Abandonia rather than something you have the CD for... running the setup.exe causes it to say that it cannot be installed to C; "The specified path (C:\Lion) cannot be created."

[The Fifth Horseman]

I was wondering if someone could explain to me what the ISO Cellar is, and also if the full version of Lion with sound is indeed located there?
The ISO Cellar is a secret forum to which users gain access after they have been actively participating in discussions for a while.
Your account will first have to be fixed to work correctly, however, and it can't be done right now since the access to the admin controls is buggered to hell.
But yes, there is a full version of Lion in the ISO Cellar.

running the setup.exe causes it to say that it cannot be installed to C; "The specified path (C:\Lion) cannot be created."
Do you actually have a C mount configured? I'd guess not...

[peacelova08]

Im soo confused with trying to set up this game :( ......im not dumb, belive me Ive looked through every page and every post but im totally lost.I dont know how to do things and when I try what I understand I get the ''hr_hires.c #1.-1'' error.* I need a simple walk through that a noob can understand ;)Im DYING to play this game.* Please, im desperate.* O and I read the forum post ''beginners guide to dosbox'' and have no clue what there talking about...maybe because im so frusterated i cant think straight? i dont know...Please

[The Fifth Horseman]

Begin by telling us what is your operating system and what exactly you have done, step-by-step.

[peacelova08]

Ok,
1.I download the game
2.I extract the files
3.I open dosbox 0.70
4.I mount it like this: mount c c:\
5.I type, c:
6.Then I type, cd lion
7.Then I type lion
8. After I do all of that It give me the error.

Anything Im doing wrong?

[peacelova08]

Yea!:nuts: I got my brain working normally and got it up!

Just a quick question, ok so my lions mated, now how long to I have to wait for them to be birthed and will it still worked if I choose to skip days?

[The Fifth Horseman]

Try mating again until the game doesn't let you to anymore.

now how long to I have to wait for them to be birthed and will it still worked if I choose to skip days?
According to prior information in this topic, about 110 days and yes, you can skip time to reduce the wait.

[whiteXwolf]

Errr...Im kinda new, and Im super sorry if this was already asked but...XD anyway:

Ok I downloaded Lion to my C:. I extracted all the files and went to dosbox. I typed in:
Mount c: c:/
c:
cd {name of folder here}

and then it said my folder name in captial letters and a little > next to it. I type LION and it says LION is an illegal command. O_o Help?

[dosraider]

Check whilst in windows your game folder, you probably have another folder in your lion folder.
That or you screwed up when you decompressed the archive.

[Sebatianos]

Mount c: c:/
c:
cd {name of folder here}

OK, this might be the problem right here - c:/ is not the same as c:\

[dosraider]

... c:/ is not the same as c:\
For dosbox it is,works both. (For the C mount anyway, sometimes it gives trouble with CD mounts, not always, go figure ....)
And he said he gets dosbox in the c:\lion directory.

[whiteXwolf]

Because I didn't save my pw in word, or write it down, I forgot it....>_< So I couldn't reply. But *Ahem* it works now! :D It was the folder thing. I just had to move lion out of the folder then delete the folder named "Lion". *Shrugs at stupidity of self* I just now mated and was wondering how you fast forward? I tried clicking on the moon and pressing my spacebar at the same time, which is the way I thought you were supposed to do it, but it won't work. >_>

Nevermind. I figured it out. X(

Oh yeah and if anyone still wants to know, to attack a lion/lioness in your pride, you have to double click on them over and over. You can't kill them though, and you can only attack lions of the same gender. (Ex: if your a lioness you can only attack other female lions. Same with males.)

[peacelova08]

Grrr! Ok so Im having Major problems with my lions having cubs. Its really easy for them to breed but I just cant have them have cubs?!?!?

I even calculate when there gonna give birth and skip days until its like 4 days prior to the birthing and then I skip by hours but still, nothing.

Its REALLY annoying. Also, if theres no males in the pride is it still possible to have cubs with a male in another pride?

Thanks!

[The Fifth Horseman]

Attempt mating until the game does not let you anymore. Then skip the time forward.

[peacelova08]

I do. Ill keep trying but...its getting annoying....

[KapuAaka]

So, where is the ISO celler located on this site? I've been signed up for over 3 months and I probobly have over 20 posts. Where is it?

[The Fifth Horseman]

You have _eight_ posts.
Remember that posts in some forums do not increase your postcount.

[lyndzee]

So my female has given birth to cubs. Now what? Do you have to do anything different or special to keep them a live? What happens when they grow up? Can the mother mate while she still has cubs? Also, how many cubs is normal? I have 4 cubs and am not sure if they are from one or two moms.
TIA

PLZ help what's the problem with this game.I have dosbox and dfend.
BTW some help with wolf needed about gameplay and other options.Call me.

[guestperson]

Ok I've read the entire thread and I can't get lion to work. I downloaded it, extracted all the files, put it in a folder, and ran dosbox. Type in:
mount c c:/
c:
cd {folder name here}
lion

Doesn't work. So I try some other things, still doesn't work, read through this thread and move the extracted stuff from lion into my drive (c:) and try again except with:

mount c c:/oldgames
c:
cd lion

Now I get "Unable to change to lion", but anything else I tried would get me a black screen with weird numbers and stuff on the top (other people have complained about this, forget what it says) and c:/lion. :/ Help?

[KapuAaka]

Is this spot dead? Anyway is there anyway to make the Lion safari work? I keep getting an error.

[SnowyPup]

For those of you who can't get it:

Instead of making a new folder, extract the one named LION, paste it in C:/ and then do the DOSbox thingy. Tada! :D

Hope it helps.

[Gness]

If you put "LION" folder in your system's "C:\" (not DosBOX's "C:\") then make sure that "LIONS.CFG" contains CDPATH=C:\ ,not a CDPATH=C:\LION\ or somthing else(edit with Notepad)."LIONS.CFG" shoud have a path of DIRECTORY THAT CONTAINS "LION" folder,not "LION" folder itself.And you gotta launch ms-dos link named "lion" through DosBOX,not lion.exe.Also in the game when theres lion photos on the screen -- its loading,have a patience(2-3 mins for my glitched PC)

Worked for me :)

[Rose]

So ik I read about what like 7/10 posts about mating and none of these to helps ok can somebody please help me DDD: :doh2: :bleh: I mean I mated once but I was lost after that x3 I pressed the moon but how do you know how many days passed by and how do I mate again I made sure both me and my mate well full with everything other lions were away I think >.> and I clicked on him like crazy but nothing happen so I switched to him and clicked my main lion like crazy xD AND nothing :doh2: so somebody please help I reallllllllly want cubs since I have no pups on WOlf*stillling waiting for the mating season xD*

[Cat Jane]

Were there any other games like this besides Wolf?? I love both of them...very neat games.

I hope they wise up and make something fun like this for the Wii or something ...maybe with several different animals to play as. On that note, Sim Animal wasn't very fun at all -- they can do better.

I really want to get the sound for this one sometime in the future. 19 more posts to go maybe? I hope.

Thanks for adding this game (and Wolf) to the dl section! :clap:

[Unregistered505]

Anyone know how exactly to take on masai and poachers?
A few of the scenarios require me to actively kill a masai warrior, its not a choice to just live for the par time, I gotta kill one, wich is suicide.

So how do you do it?

-If you get within sight of seeing what direction they are facing, they will attack you moments later.
-If you get behind them, sneak up and attack, they will spin around and also one hit kill you.
-If you try to run, you eventually run out of stamina, they overtake you, appearently not having such a limitation, and walk up along side you and stab you in the side.

I can't get the pride to help me either, they all run like a bunch of pussys the moment the warrior goes into attack mode.

[weylin]

Those Masai are really tricky.

My friend said you gotta be extra sneaky with them, but I still die every time I confront one.
-stab- and you die

one thing they should have given more thought on with this game... seriously, even one hyena can insta kill you if you arn't careful.

It says nothing in the manual so I'm at a loss as to how to deal with them as well...

[RusGuitar]

In order to save the game you have to pres alt and o at the same time (o for options) If anyone has a link to the game with either A... a full version with sound or B...a hint and or tip guide it would be appreciated by many...

I first played a Demo of this game from an issue of PC gamer when I was like 13.....thats it...all I played was the demo and I loved it...Im 26 now and have no idea how and or why I remembered to search for this game...any help and or tips for the game would be appreciated...

What a coincidence - I came looking for this game, too, for the very same reason. Somehow I remembered this game being more first person in view, rather than third, but that's a childhood memory does.

Good luck!

not sure how long this thread has been dead, but i've read through the whole thing and am still having problems.

i get an error that says "hr_hires.c #1.-1"

i'm a little new to DOSbox and all this so i'm completely dumbfounded at the process here, but i think if someone would willingly in a very fluent manner type out all instructions for a newbie, that i could figure this out.

thanks.

download DOSbox
download LION

go to computer > local disc c > users > (your name)

in there, create a folder called oldgames or whatever you desire, it doesn't matter.

unpack the lion download exactly to that folder

once done, open up DOSbox, and type in exactly as is typed in each line here

mount c c:\users\yourname\oldgames(or whatever you named the folder for it)

c:
cd lion
LION

it all should be typed in and entered in that order, LION should then start correctly.

hope this helps some people who weren't able to get it running.

[Kollateral Kass]

On my first day discovering this awesome place I downloaded (full version?) Lion from the ISO Cellar. :thumbs:

Everything appears to be in place, but there's no sound. Did I miss an audio file somewhere? Or was it left out of the download?

[Invisableperson.:P]

I've read everything on this and it still doesn't work i keep getting that error....the last time i tried it i got a blurr of colors but then it went to that error thing i use the last method sugested but...........i really want to play this game maybe it is my crappy vista laptops fault.

[Invisabelperson.:P]

i gots it working yayez

[Kiraine]

Alright, I'll go chop some heads off soon if this won't start doing what it's supposed to do.

I've tried every trick from the first ten pages and the VISTA-howto page.
However, neither my original game CD, my full-installed original game NOR the downloaded game will work.

My DOSBox 0.73 refuses to believe such a thing as "LION" exists. The farthest I got was this:

Z:\>mount c: c:/users/ttx/oldgames
Drive C is mounted as local directory c:/users/ttx/oldgames\
(love my Finnish keyboard, it won't accept any \s there, just /, but they both work whatsoever.)

Z:\>c:/cd lion/LION
Unable to change to lion/LION

Tried to mount straight from the E, my CD-DVD rom, but it says it "doesn't exist".
On other accounts, it leads me to "please insert CD", which surprisingly is in comp already and has not been taken out for one moment after putting it in.

So.
I've tried this from drive D, drive C, C and Program Files, C and users and my name and oldgames, drive C without a folder, drive C with folder, same folder as DOSbox...
... practically yes, my everything.

[dosraider]

Z:\>mount c: c:/users/ttx/oldgames
Drive C is mounted as local directory c:/users/ttx/oldgames\
(love my Finnish keyboard, it won't accept any \s there, just /, but they both work whatsoever.)

Z:\>c:/cd lion/LION
Unable to change to lion/LION

Nope.

Try:

mount c: c:/users/ttx/oldgames
c:
cd lion
lion


..... And of course hit enter after every line.

[Edit]
BTW, you apparently didn't followed the how to, or you would have a C in dosbox in stead of a Z .....

[zirkoni]

For Finnish keyboard, type
keyb su

BTW, doesn't DOSBox 0.73 detect your keyboard layout automatically?

[dosraider]

Well, I copied the thing I put in there to the box above, so my mistake is in there (and I know I probably did one, just don't know where as it accepted my commands anyway). I thought about it too but I'm not familiar with DOSBox yet, so I just thought that ok, perhaps it wants to operate on Z anyway and kept going.

What I typed in was
mount c c:/eeeettttcccc.

So it said "mounted c" and etc, but it still showed the Z for some reason.

Will try again now fresh and caffeined up.

edit: ohhh, my failure seems to be at hitting enter after the first command.
I didn't think about that, sensing that every enter starts a new command, and I kept thinking about it as a single line.

NOW on to try it ->

[Kiraine, yet again]

... I think I need to register just to get this one game going in order to stop flooding, but:

Now it says "Unable to change to: lion"
So it picks off the "cd" from the start and says it's unable to change to lion - only. (which I got by messing around with the Z driver too, though. So I managed to get from point A to point B to get to point C which I could [somehow] reach straight from point A, but at least I got SOMETHING right...)

Here I have a picture for you, judge if you see something wrong in there:
http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/2435/42851834.gif


I also tried just command "cd", it opened C:/ tag for me (I couldn't write anything there though) and continued straight to basic "lion", resulting in... tadah, "Please insert LION CD in CDROM drive and try again".)

[dosraider]

Hmmmm...

Windows-> computer-> folder c:/users/ttx/oldgames
You should have a folder in there called lion.
If not, things got screwed up when unzipping the archive, start over I would say.

You need that folder.
You must have when you look in windows:
c:/users/ttx/oldgames/lion/ *all the files here*

I know that when females are in estrus, they roll onto their backs when a male approaches. Does anyone know approximately how often females go into estrus in a simulation game?

[spoie2222]

i click on lion.exe (well actually it says lion exe. the exe bit in another columb next to lion) and the screen flashes black then all i can do is move the mouse on the DOSbox screen but i cant click anywhere and it doesnt get me anywhere near the actual game

[Harmeulius]

I know that when females are in estrus, they roll onto their backs when a male approaches. Does anyone know approximately how often females go into estrus in a simulation game?

Press U on your keyboard and you'll see if she is in estrus.
If she rolls on her back she is in estrus.
I don't know how frequent they get in estrus but if she isn't in estrus you can always click on the moon to advance with 7 days and try again.

Also here's a tip for people who are having trouble mating:

Press U to see if a female is in estrus (if she is in estrus she will roll on her back)
Get alone with the male and press U again (she will roll again)
While she is rolling click on the male (make sure you are no other lions around)
If you've done it right they should mate.
Continue this until they won't mate anymore and you should get cubs within weeks (i'm not sure how much weeks)
If you'll take good care of the cubs and keep them alive for about 2 years they should grow up, females will join the pack (Unless there are already five lions in the pack then they will leave also you can only have five lions in a pack so for example you have four lions in the pack and you've got four cubs only one female cub will join the pack when she grows up the rest will leave the pack.)

I hope this helps:3:

As it seems you're too lazy to scroll through some pages , I'll do it for you:
How do you mount it in DOSBox? Remember that mounting changes the paths.

Try putting Lion in a directory on your drive C: called Oldgames.
Then in DOSBox:
mount C C:\oldgames

That should work.

to be complete:
Also in dosbox your inputs will be:


c:
cd lion
lion


Nothing to click on.

[to be complete²]

That means the file is not present in that directory. You're doing something wrong.

[spoie2222]

That means the file is not present in that directory. You're doing something wrong.

but what am i doing wrong?

[The Fifth Horseman]

type in DIR and see what it returns.

[spoie2222]

type in DIR and see what it returns.

Directory of C:\
. <DIR> 10-01-20
.. <DIR> 01-01-19
LION <DIR> 10-01-20

and in the lion folder
http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p354/spoie2222/Picture34.jpg

[Mighty Midget]

The Lion exe is there alright.

Make sure the DOS prompt is telling you "lion" is the current directory.

If the directory is in the root directory C, it should look like this:

C:\LION>

Or, if the Lion directory is in a subdirectory named say, games, it'll look like

C:\GAMES\LION>

If the prompt is pointing at a different directory than the game directory, then DOS will not be able to find the Lion.exe.

If the prompt is pointing at the right directory AND you're being told that LION is an illegal command, please consider the possibility of a faulty download. Try downloading the game again.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Everything should be working.
You must have made a typo before.

I have spent the last four hours trying to get this game up and running. Your post saved me! Thank you; I bow to your superior tech skills!

congratulations, now you are not a virgin anymore! :rocks:

however, you might be not able to mate as a male because you lack penis

[Rebecca100]

yeah same for me i need help too!!!!!! when i press continue on a scenario or simulation the screen goes back to white!!! HELP!!!!!!! WHAT DO I DO????????

[Unregistered203]

i went like this
open dosbox then i
mount c c:/maxisrelated/lion/lion well i have my lion folder in my lion folder dont mine that then
i c: then
i i dir
then i poot lion.exe
then it shows up with thes text and icantr even type enymore and i cant even play nothing works!help i neet help!?

[The Fifth Horseman]

What text? We're not parapsychic here. Screenshot please.

[Loewe]

I can get to the title menu, but once I try to start a simulation game after selecting my options, the screen turns black and tells me that the program cannot find file PGNEW.WRL even though it is obviously there in my LION folder and prompts me to a command.

Something similar happens when I try to start a scenario game. The program tells me it cannot find the file USER.DAT. This time, however, I have no such file for real, and I'm still prompted to a command.

I'd be much obliged if someone could help me with my problem. If you think you can help, please, ask questions if I forgot a key point. I'm very eager to play this game, so I will be patient. Thanks so much!

[DarthHelmet86]

Easy questions first, are you using Dosbox, and what is your mount text? (I.e is Lion inside another folder, is the Lion folder your C:\ while you are in Dosbox?) On another note have you tired to redownload it and see if that fixes the problem?

I am using DOSBox. LION is in a folder that I named OLDGAMES which I put into my C:\.

I have not redownloaded anything. What do you want me to download? The game or DOSBox?

[DarthHelmet86]

The game, since it claims it is missing files redownloading the game might fix the problem. Also what cycles is Dosbox set on?

[Loewe]

The game, since it claims it is missing files redownloading the game might fix the problem. Also what cycles is Dosbox set on?

I tried redownloading the game, but I got the same results.

Could you tell me where I can find the cycle setting?

PS: I see this in my DOSBox status window: "Warning: file c:\OLDGAMES\LION\PGNEW.WRL exists and fails to open in write mode. Please Remove write-protection"

That sounds like a problem that the program is actually giving feedback on.

[DarthHelmet86]

The cycles can be seen when Dosbox is in it's windowed mode. It normally only starts at 3000 cycles you will need to increase this for the game to work. (Ctrl F12 increases the cycles) Try running Dosbox as an administrator, and check if that file is write-protected.

My problem seems to be that none of the files allow writing. I'll allow writing for every one. I'll let you know whether it works or not. Thanks for all the help so far!

[DarthHelmet86]

Not a problem.......it's a pretty quiet day and this is giving me something to think about. So I should be thanking you.

The Sim works very well. I had to create a USER.DAT file and take off write-protection for that. As a result, the game works beautifully. Consider yours a job well done! Thanks!

[DarthHelmet86]

You are very welcome, have fun playing the game. :OK:

[ThePunkHippie]

Been discussed before - read this thread from the beginning.


Alright, so I'm trying to get this game working, & like everyone else out there, I'm getting the "hr_hires.c #1,-1" error

With most dos games, I just drag the icon onto dosbox & it runs without any problems
Due to the issues with Lion, I've been actually starting up Dosbox & following instructions to a T

I realize it's been discussed before, but the fact is I've gone through every page of this thread, tried every variant that's been mentioned about how to fix it (putting it directly into C:, putting it in it's own folder, etc)
I've double & triple checked this to make sure I don't have ANY spelling mistakes or other PEBCAK errors.

The fact is, it's not working, & I can't figure out why. Is anyone else still having the same problem even after all the troubleshooting, or is it something to do with my computer?

(also, if I try starting the game not in dosbox, I get a black screen that says "Divide Error" then it shuts itself down.

[DarthHelmet86]

Just one question are you using the newest Dosbox, 0.74? If not try downloading that and see if that fixes your problem.

[Serynn]

This was a post asking for help, but I figured it out. And cussed out the game. xD Thanks anyway.

[i need need help]

Every time i click the "get it" button... it won't work and it says"internet explorer can not display the web page"... plese help.

[DarthHelmet86]

The server is down. Until it comes back up no one can download games from the site. We will post a News item on the front page when it changes, just like we did when it went down.

If you register you can have a look through the games in the ISO cellar or just wait it out.

[ok :)]

Thanks... i was realy confused :)

[ladybirdscreatures]

Hi, I just downloaded this game... went to the ISO cellar to get the sound files, but the sound still won't work. I extracted all the files to the LION folder. Is there something else I need to do?

[DarthHelmet86]

That would be because the files in the ISO cellar are just that part of an ISO. They aren't meant to be extracted into the installed game. They are meant to be all downloaded and turned into an ISO of the original CD, from there you can install the game (more then likely in Dosbox).

I'm not too familiar with ISO files and how to install them... would you please quickly outline what I need to do, step-by-step in order to install the game with sound, please?
I have the lion.zip from this site, and the files from the ISO cellar which include lion.rar, lion.r00-lion.r03 and lion.sfv... so... what should I do from there? thanks for your advice :3:

[The Fifth Horseman]

Unpack lion.rar to get the CD image.
Mount the CD image in DOSBox.
Install the game in DOSBox using the CD image.
Done.
After you close DOSBox, every next time you want to play the game you have to just mount the CD image in DOSBox first.

[ladybirdscreatures]

1. done, extracted to c:\games\lion
2. done, DOSBox says: MSCDEX installed, drive D is mounted as c:\games\lion\lion.cue
3. by typing what? I have no idea how to tell it to 'install'. I can't find that command in the DOSBox readme file :(
p.s. there is no install.exe file!

[The Fifth Horseman]

3. by typing what? I have no idea how to tell it to 'install'. I can't find that command in the DOSBox readme file :(There's no built-in DOSBox command for that. Every game has its' own unique installation process.
p.s. there is no install.exe file!
Check all COM, EXE and BAT files in the root of the CD. It's not unusual for the installer to be named differently.
The game manual probably explains which executable starts the installation procedure.

[ladybirdscreatures]

There aren't any COM, EXE or BAT files that I can see, but then again I'm not sure how to view the root of the CD :(

also... the manual says 'installation instructions are on a separate card in the Lion Box' which I can't find online. Useful... not

[The Fifth Horseman]

There aren't any COM, EXE or BAT files that I can see, but then again I'm not sure how to view the root of the CD :(
Okay then. Mount the image in Windows and search for any COM, EXE and BAT files there. Note them down.

[DarthHelmet86]

There is a setup.exe on the CD (I just downloaded it to check). Make sure you have the CD and your normal C drive mounted (like C:\oldgames as your C drive for Dosbox). Type;

D:
cd setup

And the setup should run, it will install it onto your mounted C drive (which is why you should mount your C drive as a folder where you keep your old games so that it isn't installing onto your real C:\ drive.)

As Fifth said if you want to play the CD version of the game you are going to need to remount it every time you want to play.

[ladybirdscreatures]

Ok, now it says 'unable to change to: setup'
This is my mount code:

mount d c:\games
d:

then I typed cd lion to go to d:\lion, then I typed cd setup and got that message. Am I mounting it wrong? Can anyone suggest a mount code that would work?

I'd like to add that all the files from the ISO cellar are the following:
lion.ccd
lion.sfv
lion.img
lion.cue
lion.sub

I think I'm missing something. It doesn't look like a whole CD's contents to me but I definately downloaded all the files from the ISO cellar and those 5 files are all that's contained

[The Fifth Horseman]

You weren't even looking on the right drive this entire time.
1. Mount your oldgames directory as the C drive
2. IMGMOUNT the cd image as the D drive
3. Change to the D drive
4. Look for the installer now. dir is your friend, especially when used as dir *.exe , dir *.com or dir *.bat (or you could just use Norton Commander in your copy of DOSBox and filter the display to only show EXE, COM and BAT files; IIRC it also has a file search function)

[ladybirdscreatures]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. it works now :D
what I did was configure dosbox with the following:

mount c c:\games
imgmount d c:\games\lion\lion.cue -t cdrom
d:

then typed dir which displayed the files and it did in fact contain setup.exe, so I typed setup.exe and it popped up with the install screen. worked like a charm! Thanks :3:

Edit:
Ok, at the end of installation it puts dosbox to c:\games\lion, with a message saying that I should change directory to c:\games\lion from now on. I type lion and the game starts with sound.
I close the game and change dosbox to mount c:\games\lion, type lion and the game starts but without sound! What's wrong now? :(

[dosraider]

mount c c:\games
cd lion
lion


And maybe also mount your cd image again as D: , not sure, been a long time I tried this one.

[Mighty Midget]

Nvm. Dumb reply. Didn't read the entire series of posts.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Did the setup program ask you for soundcard configuration? What did you enter?

[Ms. Llama Head]

Ok I just downloaded LIOn recently from abandonia. I've done everything I have to play WOLF for LION and its giving me some trouble... for WOLF i type in to DOSbox

mount c c:/game
c:/
cd lion
lion
but then it says illegal command: lion.

I belive i've done everything right and i've even tried downloading the game from another website... so if anyone can help than thx.

I also have a question about WOLF it works perfectly and everything its just can anyone tell me how i can save my game on there when u play Simulation?

[The Fifth Horseman]

You're trying to run Wolf using the same directory and executable name as you did with Lion. That's definitely _not_ going to work. :)
Where did you unpack the game?

[Guest _]

It was the folder thing. I just had to move lion out of the folder then delete the folder named "Lion".
What exactly did you move out? I think I need to do the same but I am confused, I still get the "hr_hires.c #1-1" thing.

[Guest _]

It works! I tryed something else so nevermind about my question. :D

[Anonymous/Unregistered]

I downloaded Lion today using abandonia.com. I added it to a folder and tried opening it with dosbox. Here's what happens:

<Mount c L (L is the name of the folder it is in)

Directory is mounted with folder L
<C:

<C:\
<cd lion

<LION\
<lion

illigal command: lion
<lion.exe

illigal command: lion.exe


Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

[arete]

Are you sure there's a lion.exe ?

[dosraider]

<C:

<C:\
<cd lion

<LION\
<lion

illigal command: lion
<lion.exe

When your dosbox prompt is c:\lion> input dir /w
Take a look what you get, if you don't see a lion.exe you screwed up somewhere, most usual beginners screwup is creating a double lion folder when unzipping, eg: you have another 'lion' dir in your first lion dir.
If yes, copy everything from your second lion folder into your first one (do it in Windows). Try again then (dosbox restart needed here).

Also: don't use the build in Win unzipper, but something as http://www.7-zip.org/

Also²: some more details if things still goes wrong would be helpful.......

[Anonymous/Unregistered]

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that.

[Anonymous/Unregistered]

Alright (Sorry double post)
There is no Lion.exe
I tried redownloading it and unzipping it, while loading all the files into a new folder and the exact same thing happened. I'm none too certain about manually unzipping a folder.

[DarthHelmet86]

I know my version of the game has a Lion.exe in it that I got from this site. I will redownload it and double check it is there in the archive, otherwise it might need to be setup or installed in some way first. BRB with info.

*Edit* Game redownloaded and there is a Lion.exe in the archive. If you don't have the view settings set to show the .exe it will be listed as Lion and as an application. Remember double check that you haven't unzipped the Lion folder into another folder called Lion, i.e you open up the folder you created while unzipping and inside it is another folder called Lion. If that is the case then as Dosraider said copy everything out of the second folder and move it into the first one.

[anonymous/Unregistered]

Ok; with the info you gave me I was able to open LION, but now it gives me this every time I try to start the game:
hr_hires.c #1.-1
C:\LION>

And I can't type anything.
I realise this was discussed earlier but as far as I can see it was never resolved. Has anyone solved this problem?

[Anonymous/Unregistered]

Sorry-but does anyone actually know how to solve the hr_hires.c #1.-1 problem?
I've checked websites all over the net, and nothing...

[zirkoni]

Sorry-but does anyone actually know how to solve the hr_hires.c #1.-1 problem?

I get the same error if I try to run the game from C:\

LIONS.CFG file says "CDPATH=C:\LION", so you have to run the game from C:\LION or you can edit the path in the configuration file.

[anoymous/Unregistered]

Ahh.
I tried it on my mom's laptop and it worked: so now I'm playing it but I have a few problems:
There is no sound-I can't find a setup path
I don't know how to kill hyenas or humans.
I don't know how to mate
It takes three minutes to load a scenario.
Is there anything I can do to fix/improve this list?

[zirkoni]

There is no sound-I can't find a setup path
Read the review: "Neither has the sound, but then again, this is also something you will have to forgive us for not adding, the archive would be much larger that way."
Register to the site and get the full CD image from the ISO cellar if you want sound.

I don't know how to kill hyenas or humans.
I don't know how to mate
Read the manual? You can download it from the game's extras section.

It takes three minutes to load a scenario.
In DOSBox input (or change them in the dosbox.conf):
cycles max
core dynamic
before you start the game. Then the game loads faster but once it has loaded you might want to decrease the CPU cycles with Ctrl+F11 if the game runs too fast.

[Unregistered!!!!]

When I download, it it says it failed...

[The Fifth Horseman]

That doesn't give us anything as a base to determine what your problem is.
What is the first "it"? What is the second "it"?

[RTOk]

Man I loved this game when I was younger, I'm so glad I found it and its predecessor wolf.

[Pimpin]

it doesn't work for me , i start the game choose all the stuff and the it goes out why??? :sos: :sos:

Same for me. LION.EXE opens then crashes/closes dos

I'm running the lastest dosbox.

windows 7 64bit

looks so fun why wont it play! :/

This is a good place for info and help for both wolf and lion: http://wolf-forum.forumh.net/c2-lion

Its a bit tricky to mate in lion.
First try to get all four bars (health, stamina, food, and water) full.
Then, if you're a lioness, press 'U'. If the lioness rolls over, she's willing to mate.
Approach the male and harass him constantly by following him, roaring, etc. It helps if his four bars are near full too. What you want to do is press 'u' when near him and click on him. If you were successful, you will see a quick mating scene. Do this until you can no longer mate. Wait a few game hours or days and repeat the process.

If your lioness is pregnant, she will no longer want to mate. It will take about 180 days for the cubs to be born. They will function the same as the other lions, but will be smaller in size. You cannot play as your cubs. It takes about 800 days for them to grow up fully, and they will either join the pride as an adult member, or leave. Hope I helped :)

[Rainefall]

Okay, I tried to search this topic up but I couldnt manage to find it and the searching system was bugging me.So I decided to post and see what happens.

As I play 'LION' I am for a male 'Bob' and attempt to try and take over a nearby pride.As I fight the dominant male, I manage to injure him, I can see that he's limping then, but I continue to fight days and nights and I just can't seem to get rid of him.He's been limping ever since and I've been fighting him until my endurance bar runs out; and Bob has very good endurance. On the scenario, taking over that pride was easy, but now it's like huh?

I just cant take over this pride and I want to!

I DID IT! I FINALLY DEFEATED THE hr_hires c. #1 -1 (For Win XP..)
I was so upset when I fixed it.
Unzip Lion into C:\ so your directory is C:\LION\LION.EXE
Install DOSBox into C:\LION
Change Lion.cfg to read "CDPATH=C:\"
Drag LION.EXE onto DOSBox.EXE
Success.

[Munyar]

I hope this thread isn't dead... Ok so I've read through the forum three times, tried everything that was said and I'm still having issues. I'm sill getting the hr_hires c. #1 -1 message. Here is what I do

I have the LION folder in a folder called TMP on C:
I open DOS BOX and mount c as C:\TMP
after loading C it goes like this:
C:\>cd lion
C:\LION>
then I type LION and I get:
hr_hires c. #1 -1
C:\LION>
I'm using the latest DOSBOX, I edited the .CFG file, I've even tried draging the .EXE and the MDOS file to DOSBOX.EXE nothing works.
I really, really wanna play this game please help.

[zirkoni]

... I edited the .CFG file ...
mount c C:\TMP
C:\>cd lion
C:\LION>

And in this case the cfg file should read
CDPATH=C:\LION

[Munyar]

I got the same message.
I'm gonna try redownloading it to see if thats a factor

[The Fifth Horseman]

This error should only occur if the game is unable to find its' data files - either the path to the game directory inside DOSBox is different than the path specified in lions.cfg or your archiver was set to ignore the directory structure inside the ZIPs when unpacking the game.

Try replacing the line in lions.cfg with this:
CDPATH=.
(Yes, that's a period after the equality sign)

If that doesn't work, please show us a screenshot of the contents of your C:\TMP\LION directory.

Thank you for all the help. I did finally get it to work. Apparently it was a download error. It worked fine after I redownloaded and tried again. Now my only problem is figuring out how to mate and join other lions in a pride :palm:

I'm always making Mozumba and Umar mate and it's working. But it's already two/three days in-game and she isn't rolling in her back and I'm at day 21 in-game. Does that mean she is pregnant?

Oh, and Jinja was mauled during hunting and her health won't go up. She's been very distant from the Pride as well.

[MistyIce~]

Hi! I'm new to this game, lion and wolf. When I played the first time, I didn't know what the
controls for what and whatever, but I rreeaallyy need help with how to drink and eat,
plus to sleep. Someone help me please!

[Visitor]

Okay so... I tried opening Lions in the DOSbox but... Here's the thing I've been doing
mount c c:\lion
c:
cd lion
lion

But at "cd lion" it says "Unable to change to: lion"
Help? Also, when I skip that part and just do
Mount c c:\lion
c:
lion

It comes up with this "hr_hires.c #1.-1"
Heeelp?

I've been playing WOLF, and it's amazing(still trying to mate o-o no luck) but I really want to play LION... So, I'd appreciate help c:

[dosraider]

mount c c:\lion

Nope, wrong mount.

Unzip the whole "lion" dir in \oldgames\ so you get \oldgames\lion\

In dosbox mount \oldgames\ as virtual C:
if done correctly

c:
cd lion
lion

will work.

What the specific \oldgames\ dir is depends of your OS.
Read the tutorials.
Notice: you should never mount a games dir directly as C: in dosbox, but always use \oldgames\ (or similar) with the game directory (folder) as subdirectory of \oldgames\
Some games need that specific mount to be able to find their files.
Even if some (in fact most) dosgames will work with game folder mounted directly as C: many won't be able to run/find needed files..... so sooner or later you run into this kind of problems.
Again: read the tutorials, they are there for a reason.

I found this to work fine! All I had to do was put the period, then drag the .exe ontop of DOSBox. Thank you all!

i LOVED this game when I was younger. Been searching high and low for this and can't believe I actually found it again!

Only problem is no sound.
And also it seems to run fairly slow on Dosbox. I'm getting lots of lags and I'm not sure why. Any good fixes?

[ZacherieRee]

I have dosbox and lion but I dont know how to work dosbox (its been a long time since I used it) How do I set it up and get lion to work?
