Overseer with Mounted Directories
Hey All,
Finally finding time to finish the last Tex Murphy game and dying to see what happens with Project Fedora. So I am working on running the CD version on windows 7. Installation worked by copying the OVERSEER directory to my hard drive, installing RSX audio and patching to 1.04.
I am swapping discs and trying a different approach to the "burn CD's to a DVD". I have copied the "DATA" folders of each disc to a directory on my hard drive. Then I mount the directory as a new drive. Then I change the directory in the "tex.ini" to the new directory. It still asks for the disks. I think the issue is it does not see the mounted drives as CD drives. Anyone have a solution for this?
Also, the plants in Tex's office are all ringed with pink (some type of alpha problem I think).
Thanks in advance.
Matt

If money isn't too big of a problem for you, I would suggest just Buying Overseer from GOG for 10 bucks... You might even be able to get it on a 50% Off Sale if you get on their mailing list and just wait a little bit... Most of the money goes to Big Finish as well, so that's an added bonus...
I don't know much about this, but somewhere on here I believe there is a Guide on how to put all the CDs on a DVD like you are trying to do... You'd just have to look for it...

Matt,
In addition to moving the files and patching, you'll need a different OVERSEER.EXE that doesn't check for the discs.
You can get it at either of these sites
http://www.gamecopyworld.com This is a 7-Zip archive
http://www.megagames.com This is an ordinary Zip archive
Copy and replace the one in your installation directory
You can use this guide as reference point

As Bafitis pointed out, the fixed game is available for purchase at http://www.gog.com
Hope this helps,

A sansGUI interface is one that does not have the small features called "Windows". The term comes from the French word sans, meaning "without".
SansGUI's are more typically used in Unix-like Operating Systems. The conventional wisdom is that a GUI (Grapical User Interface) help guide the casual computer user to perform routine tasks with Point and Click simplicity. SansGUI's have acquired considerable acceptance for users accustomed to the CLI (Command Line Interface).

Usually pop in to see what's going on, in support. Everything is always answered when I do.
