Failed to open MyDaggerfallPath or Arena2Path

Post by jman0war »

Wow I had no idea this project existed.
I've been a fan of InterKarma's tools for years.

So i quickly downloaded Daggerfall Unity, i have the path to my Daggerfall install:
C:\DOSGAMES\DFCD

This is the same path that works in Dosbox.
But when i attempt to run Daggerfall Unity i get that error.
I've tried a few variations of putting a \ at the end, or even C:\Dosgames\dfcd\dagger
or C:\dosgames\dagger\arena2, but no joy.

I can confirm the path by running my game in dosbox, or opening the dosbox.conf and copying and pasting the path from there.

What do think is the issue?

Hey jman0war, long time no speak! It's great to see a familiar name, I remember we've spoken several times over the years.

You'll see that error message if the path is failing verification (missing files, etc.). Best I can recommend is to grab the DaggerfallSetup program and point your INI file to the Daggerfall folder created by that installation. The GOG version is also great.

If you still have problems, please email me a copy of the .ini file and the log file generated. Details of where to find this is in the Feedback section of manual.

Good luck! Please let me know how you go.

thanks for the tip.
I didn't even know about DaggerfallSetup.
Been out of the loop too long!


This is truly a masterpiece InterKarma

jman0war, weren't you one of the folks that made high-res npc models back in the day?

High rez models?
I dunno.

I re-made Privateers Hold including some high poly statues for a Morrowind mod.
I did a load of other architectural models, including Direnni Tower on an abandoned project that was meant for Oblivion.

Then i made some higher resolution textures for DaggerfallXL that aren't included on the forums anymore, i guess.

Oh i also have a Daggerfall tattoo on my arm, that used to be pictured on Mark Jone's website.
Probably my claim to fame 8-)
