Finally!!!
I opened the book, expecting to go further in the game...... when...... NOPE!!!
I read it, left, and couldn't go any further! I try to go into the "Training Room 1" as it says in the description but "Raining Room 1" in the pane to the right.... I try both, I try typing, I try "Training Room", but it always comes back with "You can't go there!"..... so what do I do? I can't leave, the book has no more secrets and I have no where to go!
...... I don't have to WAIT around for 2 hours do I? There's nothing to do!!!
Anyone??

Actually, I haven't a clue. Where's the guy who made the game? I just like to slap on letters to create totally senseless words...

hi ppl i'm havn't been here 4 a while but now i'm back. Computer Whizz which book?
And have you got the demo or the actual part 1. Are you playing it on Q2.19 or 3.0?

And Alex do u want the file 4 the games archive?

Heh, just noticed that the magic school's name is exactly the same as your user name for the forum :)

Anyway, I *think* I've got the real game, I downloaded it from your site and it said it was the REAL game! I'm right at the beginning, I talk to the head of the school, I go out, read the magic book (With two chapter's and the introduction) and can't go anywhere..... I have a feeling that your meant to go into the training room 1 but the game won't let me! Quest 3.0 (built 93??) tells me that there is a room called "Raining Room 1" instead of "Training Room 1".... but it won't let me do ANYTHING!!!

Luridii, of course I want the file for the games archive! :)

Raining Room 1...oh dear :(
Umm Quest 3's probably causing the problem, as the game was built for 2.19...I'll have a look though at how it works in 3 and whether I can get beyond the school
Luridii posted 24-07-2001 13:33 GMT          
OK, CW I've tryed the game out on both Q2.19 and Q3b2 and everything works fine...maybe you need to download the game again?
Computer Whizz posted 24-07-2001 21:49 GMT          
OK.... so it works in Quest 3b2 huh!?
Well, I've got the update, 3.0.93 (build 93..... after the beta!) so Alex>>>>> you may want to look into this...... is there an erronious line of code in there that is different? Or is Quest 3.0.93 just uncompatible?
I'll downgrade to 3.0 b2 until the full release of Quest3.0 and QDK3 is put on the site.

Luridii posted 25-07-2001 07:45 GMT          
so is it working 4 u in Q3b2 CW?
Computer Whizz posted 25-07-2001 19:00 GMT          
Actually it works quite well. The only thing is it comes up with error 5 when wait is used (like Alex said!). Do you use much wait's?

Yes, one thing is that now the location is Training room 1, in the menu on the right.... in Q3.0.93 it's Raining room 1..... please Alex, could you look into this?

Luridii posted 25-07-2001 20:12 GMT          
do you mean wait as in (w) press any key or having 2 wait 4 a certain amount of time?
Computer Whizz posted 25-07-2001 20:26 GMT          
I think it's just the straight forward |w, where you have to press a key.... I can see I'm going to have to switch through the different versions of Quest to play this game :) I'm going to have LOADS of fun fragmenting and de-fragging my D:\ drive!! YEY.

At least QX3 is quite good.... hey Alex, do you have a list of Admin instructions? Whenever I enter something (like "look" or "list" or ANYTHING!) it comes back with a message saying it's not a valid command...... so what ARE the valid commands?

Continuing the topic from the main forum

CW said
I'm also under 20, also enjoy the game, and ALWAYS get killed by those damn war sprite's!!
I keep killing the oggy-waggi plant, then go N or NE and get killed by the three sprites! Damn it! So do I have to do something special to get past them or something?
--CW

So u got the game 2 work finally CW!
Umm, b4 u fight the three sprites I'd sneak west, then work your way round the hexagon to where you came in, and go to the inn in Fennat 2 restore ur HP!

Luridii posted 31-07-2001 11:04 GMT

Luridii posted 01-08-2001 08:27 GMT

Luridii posted 03-08-2001 09:58 GMT          
BTW, Alex did you get the file?
Luridii posted 03-08-2001 10:49 GMT          
Oh I fixed the Raining Room 1 problem and a new file is available at http://www.angelfire.com/rpg/blakkfire/quest.htm
Computer Whizz posted 03-08-2001 10:57 GMT          
Really?
What was the initial problem?

--CW

Luridii posted 03-08-2001 11:06 GMT          
A double ;; seemed to be confusing Q3 v 93
Originally it was

place <Your Training room;;Training Room 1>
which worked fine in all previous versions, I changed it to
place <Your Training room;Training Room 1>
and all works fine :)

Computer Whizz posted 06-08-2001 19:33 GMT          
hhhmmmmm......
Re-thinking about this, maybe Alex could make a "bug" checker? Just in case of these little errors.... Maybe we should all convert to the religion of "QDK"!
Anyway.... I'm off to download the ammended MS:1, and am going to:
A. Complete MS:1
B. Start planning my RPG
C. Start planning my Survival Horror preveiw.
