====== Red Dragon ======
===== Game Play =====
<file>

  * Red Dragon is a turn-based dice game.
    The object is to eliminate the other players,
    and be the only one left standing at the end.
   
   
  * On your turn, you will roll your die to attack.
    Who you attack is determined by what you roll.
    The host will tell you what each roll means.
   
   
  * The person attacked will then be given a chance to
    defend themselves by rolling their die.
    As with Attacks, each Defense roll is different.
    The host will announce who is eliminated.
  
   
  * The last person standing at the end of each round,
    Will advance to the Prize Round!!

==== How to play red Dragon  as a player ====

Good News: There are no Cards or third party software needed, you only have to find a local with at least one dice in place  and someone you wants to act as a [[games:gamehost|Game Hosts]].

You even have not to know  the rules in detail..   all you are expected to do is to follow the commands of your game host,  he will asked you to  register, ghost, come down to play  and roll the dice and also what your fortune is...  (Spoiler: Well. most of the playser will end up as Dragon fast food.. )

So don't worry to play ..  it is real fun :-D







===== How to host Red Dragon =====
==== Get the Dragon Host Software ====

Get the Dragonhost Software from the page: [[http://thevirtualcity.weebly.com/hosters--cards.html]]

  * Direkt Link tp Zip File : [[http://thevirtualcity.weebly.com/uploads/3/9/7/2/39729824/dragon_host.zip]] 

you may also need Libs to install :   

  * Collection of Libs are found at[[http://thevirtualcity.weebly.com/utility-programs.html]]

  * comdlg32.exe: http://thevirtualcity.weebly.com/uploads/3/9/7/2/39729824/comdlg32.zip


==== Install Dragon Host ====

Just unzip the Dragon_hos.zip File, (If you are running a really old WINDOWS system you will need an extra tool, try for example [[https://7-zip.org/|7zip]]).

You will get a new extracted File containing: **Dragonhost1.7.exe**  (and some data files) 


Start Dragonhost1.7.exe:    ([[:ganmes:Dragon_host_Jamie|more detail help for the Dragon Host program itself ]])
{{ :games:dragon_start.png?nolink |}}

or you may get an Error Window:

{{  :games:comdlg32_error.png?nolink  |}}






This is, there you may also need Libs to install   
**comdlg32.exe**: http://thevirtualcity.weebly.com/uploads/3/9/7/2/39729824/comdlg32.zip



=== Install the comdlg32.ocx   depency: ===

Just putting comdlg32.ocx in the same file as Dragonhost1.7.exe does not work for me (Windows 7) , it needed to be registered by using a cmdline tool **regsvr32** that comes with Windows 7.

Start your cmd.exe  Console  in Admin mode:

type < regsvr32 "Path to Comdlg32.ocx" > <Return>

{{:games:dragon_lib_reg_it.png?nolink|  }}


and ComDlg32.ocx should be reported as being registered. Now try to restart Dargonhost... crossing fingers and the program will pop up.
