There is no need to use VDMS for HSPEAk, for one its not run in DOS, and because it contains no sound.

i dont run with it the problem is that when you come to them type of files you HAVE to run it with VDMSOUND.

otherwise it says this does not support 16 BIT WIN32.

VDMS cannot associate itself with EXEs, you always have to start VDMS first, either manually or via it's special shortcuts (with the latest version)

1. download HSPEAK again

2. don't touch anything. Attempt to compile a script.

3. come back if it gives the error again.

How I use VDMS (when I'm not running it from the command line ) is to have a VDMS shortcut to GAME and CUSTOM. That way, I just need to double click on them to run VDMS and open the program.

Here's a tip for that: In the GAME shortcut properties, if you stick a question mark (?) in the Command Line parameters box, it'll ask you for them when you open it. Thus, if you want to play a game you just downloaded (or whatever), you can just double click on the GAME shortcut, and type in "whatever.rpg", and it'll load it for you.

How did you make a shortcut to VDMS, so you could just double click it? That would be really useful.

Oops, I forgot: You need VDMSound Launchpad. This is a front-end for VDMS which lets you make special shortcuts to dos programs with customized settings. Like, for the OHR, you can turn off SoundBlaster emulation, since it doesn't use it.

That's the lastest version, it should have both VDMS and VDMS LP in it.

I got the new version and launchpad, but how am I supposed to configure the launchpad so I can run game.exe automatically? Whenever I try to do it myself I get error messages like Unhandled exception or whatever, and it will exit out of MS-DOS. I will get custom files with a .vlp extension and i dont know what to run them with.
