'''Running ''Stellar 7'' on DOSBox'''

The following instructions are for getting ''[[Stellar 7]] to run on DOSBox. (These instructions have been tested on a computer running Windows 7 SP1 with DOSBox v0.74.)

== Step 1 - Software ==
Download DOSBox and Stellar 7:

[http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Releases DOSBox] - 1.4 MB

''[http://library.theexiled.pwnageservers.com/file.php?id=2901 Stellar 7]'' - 1.1 MB

== Step 2 - Installation ==
Install DOSBox (Detailed instructions can be found here: http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Basic_Setup_and_Installation_of_DosBox#Installation)

Extract the ''Stellar 7'' files to a folder.

== Step 3 - Setting up DOSBox ==
Detailed instructions for setting up DOSBox can be found here: http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Basic_Setup_and_Installation_of_DosBox#Running_a_game

To make your life easier, I suggest setting DOSBox to automount the folder where your games are exracted. To do that, browse to your dosbox-0.74.conf file, which can be found here:
<pre>C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\DOSBox</pre>
Open the dosbox-0.74.conf file with Notepad and scroll to the very end of the document.

Below the autoexec setion you can place your mount path
<pre>[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.</pre>

Your mount path should be in the format below:
<pre>Mount C Location of folder with games
C:\</pre>

Replace the text that says ''Location of folder with games'' with the path to the folder with your games in it. For example, I put my Tribes games in ''C:\Users\Krogoth\Documents\DOS Games'', so my .conf file will look like:
<pre>[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.
Mount C C:\Users\Krogoth\Docume~1\Dosgam~1
C:\</pre>

If your path has folder names that are longer than 8 characters, or has spaces in it, then the name must be shortened to 6 characters followed by ~1 as you can see in the above example.

The reason this makes your life easier, is because when you start DOSBox now, you will not have to mount the folder with your games in it, it will start with the folder mounted.

== Step 4 - Starting the Game ==
Start DOSBox.

Change the directory to your ''Stellar 7'' folder by using the ''cd'' command.

For example, I have my ''Stellar 7'' files extracted to ''C:\Users\Krogoth\Documents\DOS Games\Tribes Universe\Stellar7'', so I will need to type:
<pre>cd Tribes~1
cd Stellar7</pre>

Then type ''stellar7.exe'' to start the game.
