The best and biggest FRUA unlimited adventure module ever!!

The Rpg forums are a nice source of interesting stuff that I wasn’t even aware existed up until now.

On D&D unlimited adventures, they have a series of modules, a mega-campaign called THE REALM It took almost a decade to build! A MASSIVE MASSIVE undertaking using the hacked version of FRUA and can be found on the previously mentioned link OR HERE which is where a lot of modules can be downloaded! For FRUA

TO DOWNLOAD AND USE UASHELL TO PLAY HACKED MODULES LIKE THE REALM DO THE FOLLOWING....

1) Install FRUA from your diskette, CD, or zip file.






1A) The game can be purchased from gog.com:


http://www.gog.com/game/forgotten_realms_the_archives_collection_two






2) Make sure that you are using version 1.2. If not download and install

the v1.2 patch:

http://frua.rosedragon.org/pc/misc/fruav12.zip






2A) If the version you have asks for a password, download this patch:


http://frua.rosedragon.org/pc/misc/ckit-crk.txt


http://frua.rosedragon.org/pc/misc/ckit-crk.zip


Extract the one file ckit-crk.com into the same folder as your FRUA

installation and run it.






3) Download UAShellC from Rosedragon:


http://frua.rosedragon.org/pc/uashell/uashellc.zip






4) Extract the UAShellC zip file contents to your FRUA directory.






5) Run the UAShell batch file which is named "UASHELL.BAT".

Ignore any warnings about your temp directory containing files.

You should see a message saying "Installation of UA editor(s) successfully completed."






6) Make your choices for music and sound. When in doubt, answer no.






7) Another message says "Check files in TEMP subdirectory -- they must be deleted or

moved elsewhere before you can run UA-Shell."






8) Click on the Design menu. The only available options at this point are Show, Default,

and Exit. Choose Exit.






9) Open up your FRUA directory. Open up the TEMP subdirectory. You should see a file

in there called "UASHELLC.TXT". Cut and paste it to a more appropriate subdirectory,

such as DOCS.






10) Now, go back to your main FRUA directory and run the UAShell batch file again. You

should see a message that says "Default settings restored." Click on the Designs menu. The

Designs menu should now have more options available. Choose Exit for now.






11) Next, download a hacked design from the Rosedragon Magic Mirror site. Ray Dyer's

conversion of "Keep on the Borderlands" might be a good one to start out with, since it's

for 1st level characters:


http://frua.rosedragon.org/pc/modules/g/game02.txt


http://frua.rosedragon.org/pc/modules/g/game02.zip






12) Extract the hacked design into a new subdirectory called "GAME02.DSN". For example,

the path to the subdirectory might be "C:\FRUA\GAME02.DSN". Make sure all the files

in the zip end up in the subdirectory named "GAME02.DSN", because you don't want

them cluttering up your main FRUA directory.






13) Run the UAShell batch file again. From the Design menu, choose Apply,

then select GAME02.DSN, and click the "Open" button. You should get a message that

says, "GAME02.DSN successfully applied."






14) Congratulations. All that is left to do now is to press F8.

This will start your new hacked design.
