Cirque De Zale

[Iron Pirate]

I actually beat it yesterday, but I just got around to posting now.

I liked it. I was laughing all the way through, especially after

Spoiler

getting zapped to Dimus' tower and getting washed up on the island.

Great ideas. Very nostalgic, and at the same time a great little sendup of the usual tasks and puzzles to be expected in these games, especially with your little snot of a hero.  

I actually know a guy named Zale. Pronounced [zayl], though, not [za-lay]. The top hat reminds me of Aram.

One other thing:

Spoiler

The demonological colouring book, the troll doll and the seal's blood - great red herring. I love that kind of stuff.

[close]

Oh wait, I lied. Two other things.

Spoiler

What the hell happened with Little Red Riding Hoodie? I was laughing, but seriously, what the hell?

[close]

Uplifting, inspiring, soul-soaring stuff. Made my day. Everybody: do the download.

[Keith Weisshar]

Where do I find the sunscreen, I need it to obtain the glasses.

[Kinoko]

OK, as for the bug reports... most of the stuff had been mentioned earlier, ie. Drew's glasses. I honestly have no idea about that one, I'd like some more specific information about when it happens because I just can't make it happen myself. Believe me, I -want- to fix this stuff asap.

The wolf head thing - I think that's a general bug, not related to the scripting because it makes no sense whatsoever. I just can't figure it out @_@ If anyone has any ideas... please tell me!

Spoiler

As for the ringmaster not changing after you get rid of his troupe, unless the seal was the last one you got rid of, you have to exit and re-enter the circus tent for him to change

[close]

The ladder bit had been fixed already. People that downloaded the game straight away will have that problem but noone else.

OK... did that address them all? I think so. I'm still checking things but there are a few things like Drew's glasses that I just can't make sense of. The script seems fine to me, I just can't find any loop hole that would cause that. Please give me as much information as you can on these things.

By the way, with the wolf head... did you get an error message? If so, can you tell me exactly what it said? Thanks ^_^

Spoiler

There's no 'sunscreen' as such, but you can give him something that looks like it

[close]

One other thing... I don't really mind but it seems like the mods might prefer us to keep hint requests in the Hints forum. I don't want to be the gang leader of a bunch of forum hoodlums or anything! ^_^

The bug happens when:

Spoiler

I try to give wolf head after talking with mother. If i use give on the wolf head before talking to mother, nothing happens.

Here's a pic:

[Kinoko]

Hmm, it definitely isn't a scripting error. Not on my part anyway. I don't know how to fix that or exactly what's going on. I can only assume it's just a bug with the engine or something.

[Kweepa]

Post global script line 656 and relevant context to the Tech Forum.
We'll sort it out there, no doubt.
Cheers!

Where do I get the blue lego block to give the engineer?!

[close]

[Jockstrap]

Ooh, ooh! I know that one!

Spoiler

Poke the big bird (northish of the hatch) with the fork

[close]

[Kinoko]

Spoiler

You need to get rid of Little Red Riding Hoodie. SOMEHOW!

[close]

[Jockstrap]

Ooh, ooh! I know that one too!

Spoiler

Have you been in the hunter's cabin? Do you know the story of Little Red Riding Hood?

[close]

That was more of a clue than a dead give away....

[Kinoko]

Gee, you know... it never occured to me that someone might not know the story of Little Red riding Hood.

[Jockstrap]

That could be your fatal flaw...

[Kinoko]

Still you know, there IS a hint to it in the dialogue with LRRH.

[big brother]

Ok, I finished it.

I liked the game, but things got really weird at the end. It seemed like the tone changed.

Anyways, I think my favorite line was something like:
"No, no, no. I won't use the fishing rod on the fish."

That one made my day.

[Monkeyman1138]

Hey ho, I need some help.

Spoiler

I got rid of the circus troupe and got the seal and the kids for my own troupe, where do I get my third member? I have the fishing rod,colouring book, wolf head and the circus deed.

[close]

[Agamemnon]

Spoiler

Show the deed to various people.

Okay...... I'm on the island with the engineer blah blah blah. Amazingly enough I found the martin glass, umbrella and big hat. But now I can't go anywhere!! I can just walk left and right..... and then I talk to Dustin and says "gimme effing lego block" (not quite) but I can't go anywhere except the shoreline?! Or am I really dumb and missing something completely.....

[close]

[Peter Thomas]

what the freaking hell?! I would edit my last post, but I'm annoyed.....

I got up to the island yesterday, SAVED THE GAME, went to bed, woke up, tried to LOAD THE GAME, and it says there AREN'T ANY SAVED GAMES!

GARR!! What the hell is with that?!

So now I have to start again (should be really easy this time), but I'll still need an answer as I previously posted

[Iron Pirate]

I'm not even sure this is really a spoiler, but...

Spoiler

Mouse around until you find the 'jungle' hotspot. Then, walk into the jungle.

[Peter Thomas]

Possible bug?!

I'm replaying the game, and I've done pretty much everything. I've got everyone to join the circus except the mother. Every time I try to show her the deed it says "it isn't time yet". She's got the doll, and she's agreed to give me the kids as soon as I show her proof I can take care of them.... so why can't I show her the deed.

(I've got the wizard, pimp, bear and comedian who all agreed to come. The only items I have left are the colouring book (Which I know is used in the tower), the fishing rod, the wolf head (which I've already used) and the deed)....
