Back to Drakan, again :-)
Back to Drakan, again :-)
Well, I bought this game from original release in UK, and this is one of the few games I am keeping through the years.
I finished it twice so far, and figured that it was time to play it once more
The way I remember it, it still outshines quite a number of recent games [:D].

I know what you mean.
Oh, also... WELCOME, Fafhred!
When I first played it, I enjoyed it so much that I played it probably ten times in the various difficulties before going on to another game.
I think it stands the test of time and comparison because it's such a genuinely GREAT premise.
The story and execution helped, but the idea itself was completely stellar, and it's a mystery to me why the concept wasn't ripped off by several other game makers.

Thanks for the welcome
The only thing which surprises me is that I did not find this website last time I played it, which was about 5 years ago.
The only other game I have replayed more than this is Half-Life (the original, also bought from original release. And yes, it was the same period).
I notice that this game seem to have mod, which I did not find the last time around.
When I am done replaying it, I will check out the mods.
Reading through a few posts, I notice that there is at least one of the original developers registered on this forum. Kudos to them

It's really a great game, and even moreso for dragon lovers.
I loved this game because it had personality and just something special that games now cmpletely lack.. I think it's just the general feeling you get from a great game.. like all games it could be alittle beter but I would say that Order of the Flame had the beter chance of loving it from the story, and also the ability to let the players create content themselves

rider i seem to be having some complcations maybe you can gimme a hand . i have th patch for yoour server installed and i know that the levels you host i have enless you edited them from there orignal in some way. because i can play them on other severs but when i try to join yours with the same lvl it pnly loads half way then says the file is invaild or corrupted which is crap any segestion on the problem? and how to fix would be a great help ..............TDL
TDL, was just on Spb2 and the lvl, NoWhere2b, for me gave corupt error, so I think need update those files, maybe. I finnaly got my router issues fixed.
Was just checking folder for multi, and I have a folder for , Nowhere, Nowhere2, Nowhere2a, and Nowhere2b. I see only Nowhere and Nowhere2b on ftp so assume, we got to many. 2b, does not have readme file, and reading an older one,
Installation:
unzip to \Drakan\Multiplayer\Ground\NoWhere2a\
If you wish to run this level on your server on a regular basis, edit your
Ground Only.lfl file and add the following line:
Multiplayer\Ground\NoWhere\NoWhere.lvl
Then should we not have a NoWhere2_b02 folder or place these files in the Nowhere2b and overwrite.
ERIS, I see you can connect, what are your folders showing?[8D]

Hi Axe and TDL, the reason it didn't work you need NoWhere2b, not 2b02, not 2a [;)]
For some reason there isn't any in 'Drakan MP' folder at the ftp, but it can be d/led from
ftp://files.drakan.ru/pub/NoWhere2b.zip - checked it right now, it works.
