Title: Larry Vales II bug!
Post by: on Sat 20/03/2004 18:10:43
I don't know if it's just me, but I found a really annoying bug in Larry Vales II.  I don't know how it happens, but sometimes it makes it so after you click on something Larry only does the action while you have the menu bar up.  What the crap is going on?  Can you fix it?  It's really annoying, because then I have to start over the game!  HELP!!!

1. Phil Reed, the author of the game, doesn't read this forum anymore.
2. Phil doesn't use AGS anymore, so he can't fix the game anyway.
3. If you'd saved your game, you wouldn't have to start over.

Note: I would post an email address for you to contact the author directly, but for some reason, he doesn't seem to show his address anywhere on his whole damn website.. It's here if you'd like to take a look: http://www.phil-reed.com/ Though it probably won't be much help.

Course, there's no guarantee the e-mail still works.

Actually that's a bug with old AGS versions that sometimes the character will get stuck on screen, the only way to move it is to bring up the top icon bar (which was the opposite to the desired effect, originally the character should walk if the icon bar's not shown and is paused when it's shown).

This bug was later fixed, but unfortunately, LV2 was compiled with an quite old version of AGS that might not run with newer engines (unless Phil takes his time to dig up the souce and recompile the game).

So, all you can do is, SAVE OFTEN and SAVE WITH DIFFERENT NAMES, in case that bug pops up, you can still restore a game saved sometime earlier when the character can still move.
