I finally bought Black and White today, but when i try to play it all i get is a white screen with some music playing :(

What kind of video card do you have?

I have a SiS 530 i think.....but it is 8mb, and i thought thats all you need

And what drivers are you using for your video card? And what version of DirectX are you using?

I have direct X 7a so im pretty sure thats not whats wrong with it

here is the driver site for your videocard:

http://www.sis.com.tw/support/download/530.htm

download the newest

8mb will be enough, if after installing the new drivers it won't work, tell us ALL of your system specs.

ok, thanks Zulithe, I will start downloading soon

no problem. I hope it will work for you. I would hate for anyone to miss this amazing game ^_^

I'm very upset with Black and White.

Just recently, I had an error, and it made me start all over again, my saves were gone. =\

I picked a new creature. The gorilla.

He won't stop throwing pigs, and he won't learn any of the miracles I am teaching him. It is very frustrating. :(

Haha, my tiger can throw fireballs, cast shower on itself and heal itself.

Slap him, slap him a lot

yes

i beat the living hell out of him but he doesn't understand.

Next time i will slap him until his damage reads 50%

If you need practice building up your creature, there is a skirmish map you can DL that has NO OTHER gods and it also has ALL of the spells on those rechargable pedastals, you can download the level at planetblackandwhite.com

P.S. its not a cheat, just a good way to build him up quickly and have time to teach him without having to be interrupted by other gods attacking you and stuff

Awesome.

I love you.

Forgot about that, isn't it called "Sandbox Mode" or something?

oops the link to that skirmish map is no longer on the front page of that site, here is a direct link!

yeah sandbox something or other

My friend can't wait till the skin editor comes out for monsters, he wants to make a 2d stick figure guy that when it turns sideways you can't see it. After he said that to me I stared at him for a few seconds before saying that his idea was dumb. I then told him he should make a kabuto (from Giants)

Your friend has a very strange idea for a skin ~_^

How about a skin that looks like Mojo from Chrono Cross? hehehe

What is so good about dis?

heh hic i downloaded black and white off a warez site and when i play it it does the same thing first its white then it like gets ready to load the menu some kind of fade then it just stops then i'll start hearing the music hehe i have the same video card as you too but i havnt tried downloading the newest drivers, i guess i'll try that now, wont take long on cable!

I'll talk to him about the mojo thingy..

And rebel, this game invovles great game play, and awsome AI, I suggest you buy it.

or download it :D

Ok!

Can we go back to talking about how to make my gorilla stop throwing pigs?

Stick a sword in his head, it's the only way Game-o...the only way. *sniff* :(

yes, everytime it throws a pig SLAP DA SHIZNIT OUTTA IT, boom problem solved :D

yes but how much should i slap him?

Zulithe, slapping just doesn't cut it, you have to teach that ***** to respect you, like "RESPECT ME OR DIE *****!" ;).

throw a rock at his head =\

I want black and white really bad, but nobody will take me to the store =(

Probably at least until 10%, if you are playing as evil maybe slap him to 100% and then just KEEP ON SLAPPIN!

LOL you have a gorilla... so when you punish it, you could call it "spanking your monkey" yay me funny!

slap it to 10%? that's one hit

I am on good, and I slap it to 100% and it does nothing.

Hehe, I am getting it soon :D

no

this game is not for idiots

Yeah it doesn't take much to teach them not to do it. Unless you are still in level 1 it will say "your creature won't do that sort of thing as much" or something when you punish it, just make sure that you teach it what is good and bad while it is young, so that once it gets older it can do more complex things

I'm in level 1.

Everytime he throws a pig slap him RIGHT AWAY. He runs right to the next pig and throws him, he just keeps doing it.

Sorry, but you don't own that game. I can do what I like.

Well thats fux0red up, don't know what to tell you then. Probably when the patch comes out it may fix your problem

Why are you saying "that game"? Why must you be so stupid?

STOP BREATHING
