Finally got round to installing parts 1 and 2 on my 1200 yesterday afternoon, and have had mixed results.

Using the WHDLoad icon for either game simply results in a black screen.

If I use the other icon to run each game, EOB1 runs perfectly, and I must say, looks lovely.

EOB2 works perfectly all the way to the character select screen, but at that point there's nothing to click on - all the character faces are missing. Most odd!

Strange! I have been able to play EOB2 AGA straight to the end with no problem at all.
These ports are really great work.
I hope EOB3 will come one day.

I hope someone will once compile Hired Guns with PC VGA graphic the same way as EOBs. :great

Bah to port VGA games to AGA is boring and since the colors in VGA were often badly used already, the results would be uninteresting for many games (hint: EoB III too).
I would like to play EoB III ported to OCS/ECS, though.

Hello

Not a bug, but in PC version there's feature that "Hold Person" not only makes enemy not moving, but also makes enemy blue. Similar "Flesh to Stone" (EoB2) makes enemy grey.

It's possible to add this in AGA port?

Is that in EoB 2? or in EoB 3?

Hmm... i was just running EoB under SCUMMVM and it looks that it's only in 3rd part.

Sorry for this, my mistake ;)

Eye of the Beholder 2 - Medusa Doors
 

Hello

Currently i'm on last level of Azure Tower in EoB2. During game there was some messy palete changes after talking occurance (e.g. when you met character). But save&load helps, after loading palette is correct.

But now there's "minor problem" which cause "mayor problem". AFAIR medusas CAN open doors in ECS version, in AGA they cannot. There are doors which (AFAIR) should be opened by medusa, but they aren't. You must get in here to get stone dagger (portal key).

Edit: Also checked on real hardware (A1200 w. Apollo 68040@33 + 16MB), medusas still not come out. Both DOS & WHDLoad version has this problem.
If somebody is interested i can send save game from place just as on map.

The AGA versions should be automatically recognized by the online game database now of you have the games files indexed by the file database :)

(Variant names "WHDLoad, Map, v1.09, AGA" and "WHDLoad, Map, v1.05, AGA")

Hello everyone,
I have completed EOB1 and want to transfer my party and am having issues, HELP!
I am running with FSUA2.62E launcher, aga versions using WHDLoad.
heres my problem.
I launch EOB2, click on transfer party, then get a white box that says:
"please remove eob 1 disk"
and mouse pointer turns brown too....
im not sure what im doing wrong, im not using diskettes, im using whdload, why is eob2 asking me to remove eob1 disk?

I can start new party and play, ive tried.
But i want to transfer my party from eob1.
HELP PLEASE :confused

The original download link doesn't seem to work and I can't find it on the eab server. Where can I download these? Cheers

Yeah the page is gone:
Eye of the beholder 1 AGA:
http://eob.wikispaces.com/EOB1+AGA+GAME

Eye of the beholder 2 AGA:
http://eob.wikispaces.com/EOB2+AGA+GAME , wikispaces.com shutting down .. Anyone got a copy of that page ?

Which copies do you need? The lha/lzh archives or the whdload versions? I can zip up my copy if need be.

I assume that's a complete WHDLoad version? If so, then that would be great, of both games. Ta

Try this link my friend - use 7z to unzip the files/directories into your Amiga HD or folder that can be accessed by WinUAE:

Thanks. I'll give that a try!

@Ginger_DeNiro:

You could use MCE to edit your EOB2 party to correspond with your EOB1 one.

They are on the ftp in the usual place.
/Commodore Amiga/Retroplay/Commodore Amiga - WHDLoad - Games (Beta & Unreleased)/EyeOfTheBeholder_v0.2_AGA.lha
/Commodore Amiga/Retroplay/Commodore Amiga - WHDLoad - Games (Beta & Unreleased)/EyeOfTheBeholder2_v0.1_AGA.lha

My eab-fu must have been below par that day (thanks though). Thanks to Valken I've got it up and running. Looking forward to giving it a proper try soon.

Hi guys,

I am wondering if it's actually possible to do this without any programming skills but I am a big eob fan and I want to translate the game in my language. I managed to open the file containing the spells, intros and in game messages using amiga ed and edited both games successfully BUT the files containing the dialogue (eg Dran and Xanathar's monologues and NPC interactions) seem to be encrypted and uneditable.

Is there a solution to this for people with very limited computer knowledge?

Thanks!
