Essential improvements
DOS/32A is a more advanced extender and open source replacement to DOS4GW. It can improve both performance and stability of PowerSlave/Exhumed.
- Ability to set run to be always on, instead of having to hold down the run button or using the Caps Lock/Scroll Lock/Num Lock toggle fix.
- Mouse look set to always on, instead of having to hold down the look button or using the Caps Lock/Scroll Lock/Num Lock toggle fix.
- Strafing is fixed to no longer be used only in a straight line or having to hold down the strafe button. This includes fixing the proper strafing speed and the ability to turn with the mouse while strafing.
- Always turn off the cd check.
- Fix issues with binding things to the C key.
- Earlier versions of this patcher have issues with DOS32A above (gives a runtime 200 error). Use the CauseWay Extender instead.
- Patch works with both Powerslave and Exhumed.
Allows easy browsing and management of user maps. Also allows jumping through default levels.
User Maps/Addons
- El-Gizah - Single map with some custom art. It is advised to use the rescripted version as it includes a batch script to automate file renaming.
- Return to Ruins - A fairly recent mini episode (only 3 maps). By default require you to overwrite the default first 3 mission, but this can be avoided by renaming the included LEV*.MAP files to RUIN*.MAP and using the following batch script to launch it:
- Return to Ruins batch script
@echo off
echo Starting Return to Ruins...
