I need help on Equilibrium.

I have got the dog following me and have found the elevator thing but i cant get on it because i need a card to activate it. Where can i find the card?

I'm stuck too.  I can't find the card for the slot and where can I find the key to open the trap door?  

Spoiler

I have the green rag, the fish, the shovel, the bottle of water and a bag.  I also have the dog following me.

Where did u get the bag from?

Spoiler

I found the bag when I cleared away the rubble with the shovel. I got keycard when I gave bag to Luke. I'm in disguise and am trying to get to seventh bridge in Libria but can't  find how to get there. can anyone help?

Hi Maggie :) Getting to Libria is one of those ones that is a little tricky unless you've seen the movie.  For hints, keep reading (I do UHS style hints; largely why this is so long ;))

1.  

Spoiler

Have you double-checked the corkboard outside Trent's office?

[close]

2.  

Spoiler

Notice anything new?  Like that message concerning the assassination on Preston?

[close]

3.  

Spoiler

That assassination must not go through.

[close]

4.  

Spoiler

Since you've no idea who the assassin is, you can't stop it yourself.  You'll have to think of something else.

[close]

5.  

Spoiler

What if you were to warn Preston in advance?   You'll need someone who can give you his contact details, though.  Someone who knows a lot about Librian accommodations.

[close]

6.  

Spoiler

Talk to Jo in the Resistance hideout.  Then go to the Underground and look up the address she gives you to get Preston's telephone number.

[close]

7.  

Spoiler

Call Preston from the phone situated just north of the beach.  Warn him about the assassination and keep talking until Rosaline puts the phone down on him.

[close]

8.  

Spoiler

Go back and talk to Trent.  Tell him you're ready to go and you should be taken to Libria.

[close]

How do you get the shovel though Maggie?

I know where it is, but they wont let me take it.

go back and talk to Luke in the hideout. I can't remember if I went back twice or thee times but it was when I wanted the password to the underground from him. He let me have it no bother. Hope this helps.

Hi

I  have managed to get to the seventh bridge and talk to the lady. She wanted some books in exchange and i went back and told Trent but i dont know what happens now.

Can anyone help?

HI
    Have you got your reward from Trent? If not go around the Nethers again and talk to people. When you find Jo she needs something. Hope that helps.
I'm totally lost in the tunnels. Even playing as Sparkplug and using my nose I still keep going round in circles. Can anyone help?

Hi Maggie

I went back to double-check found a slight blooper in the tunnel system; Sparkplug can get you to the penultimate room and then his nose seems to shut down :( Highlight the area below to find the safe way.

Hello JudasFM
       Thanks for the help in the tunnels, it worked. However, this is probably not the right forum but I never know which one to use. when I try to get out of tunnels I get a global script error line 55
Error     Move character---character not in room
Is this a bug? and if so is there anything I can do? I'm loving this game and would like to complete it.

I'm not sure what it is, to tell the truth.  I had it once or twice in testing; sometimes it did it and sometimes it didn't, and nothing I did seemed to make the slightest bit of difference.  There's no MoveCharacter command at all in that room (or on line 55 of the script) and I was never able to work out what caused it.  If you save the game just before exiting the tunnels and keep going back, you should get through, but it might take a few gos.  (Advance warning; something similar happens when you go back to Libria later on, so you might want to save again then :))

EDIT--I just went back in and double checked both that room and the final tunnel room.  There's no MoveCharacter function at all, and line 55 of the global script deals with cursor modes.  Like I said, it will work eventually; it's just a little frustrating to have to keep going back so sorry about that :( (On the plus and purely selfish side, at least it wasn't a programming error on my part :P)  Also, I'm really glad you're enjoying the game! :D:D:D

Thanks, I finally got it to work. But am now wandering around trying to do something or find people.

Spoiler

I've been through tunnels, got crowbar, got pistol from cleric, opened manhole cover but only seem to be able to go in and out of tunnels. Can't find scattered people. What do I do next?

Spoiler

[close]

[close]

Glad it works :D For UHS-style hints, highlight on...(viva UHS!!!) ;)

(Note: There is a similar bug a little later on in the game; basically save whenever you enter or leave the tunnel system and you should be fine.  I never found it anywhere else besides those two places.)

Spoiler

What did the cleric say happened in the Underground?

[close]

Spoiler

He mentioned that the Tetra Grammaton had attacked.

[close]

Spoiler

Whereabouts are they located?

[close]

Spoiler

Go back into the tunnel system and ask Sparkplug to take you to Libria (Don't worry; his nose will work fine on this one ;))

[close]

Spoiler

The entrance to the city of Libria is north of the trapdoor exit/entrance.  Go one screen north and climb the metal ladder there.

[close]

Hope this helps some :)

Spoiler

Have I reached the end of the game when I alter the computers and fire at the fax machine or is there more to it ? If so how do I get away from the vice-consul?

Spoiler

[close]

[close]

Spoiler

Yes, it's the end (it should say that at the end of the messages; it's the only time in the game that it will) Getting away from the Vice-Council...well, just shoot the fax machine and the Resistance will take care of the rest.  (And yes, I know it's an abrupt ending, but it does tie in very nicely with the sequel, so please don't flame me too much about it :))

[close]

hi

walked and walked and walked some more :(

but i still cant find the tunnel!

pls help!

Spoiler

How far through the game are you?  You won't need to enter the tunnel system until quite late.

[close]

hi

i gave the green card to jo and now she is in the canteen.

dont know what to do next

thanx

Hi, I think I'm WAY behind everyone on this cool game.

I have...

Spoiler

the green cloth, the dead fish, the red keycard, the shovel and the gun.

[close]

I'm not sure how to proceed, though I have been told what to do by Luke.

I'm wandering about trying to work out if there's a hidden door I have missed.

I'm sorry for being so slow, but can anyone please advise me?

Hi Shax

1.

Spoiler

Have you gone back to explore the Nethers?

[close]

2.

Spoiler

What about the beach?

[close]

3.

Spoiler

Go to the beach and talk to Mark.

[close]

4.

Spoiler

Then go into the Resistance building and talk to Luke.

[close]

5.

Spoiler

He'll give you a key.  You should then be able to open the trapdoor and enter the tunnel system.

[close]

Ida...(UHS-hints underneath :P)

1.

Spoiler

Have you explored every room in the Nethers and talked to everyone?  If so, you should know what to do with the gun.

[close]

2.

Spoiler

Where did Luke say the entrance to the Underground was?

[close]

3.

Spoiler

Through the kennels.  Seen anywhere recently that could pass for that?

[close]

4.

Spoiler

How about that room with the dog in it?

[close]

5.

Spoiler

Rosaline won't go near the dog.  You'll need to find some way of distracting him.

[close]

6.

Spoiler

What do all dogs like?

[close]

7.

Spoiler

How about a bone?

[close]

8.

Spoiler

There's a bone hidden in one of the rubble piles (the same room where you cleared that massive pile away)

[close]

9.

Spoiler

Give the bone to the dog, then walk through the kennels to the Underground entrance.

[close]

Hope this helps :)

Need some help:

Spoiler

I'm supposed to dig up rubble with the shovel but it doesn't do it to the rubble in the northeast becasue it ain't worth it cos there's only a wall behind it. So where's the rubble I'm supposed to dig up?

[close]

Thanks for the great help JudasFM. I really like the way you gave the hints in steps, so I could choose how much help to accept  ;)

Just trying to find Jo to ask her about preventing Preston assassination. I think I may have missed a step before this.

Spoiler

I have spoken to Trent and looked at the corkboard outside his office. I am trying to get Preston's address and look up his phone number.

[close]

Hi Ida!  Glad I could help; I'm a big fan of UHS-style hints :P I know how annoying it is to suddenly find you've read more than you wanted to ;) Anyways...about that post...

1.

Spoiler

If Rosaline has actually read the notice about Preston's assassination, you haven't missed any steps.

[close]

2.

Spoiler

Go back to the Resistance hideout and talk to Jo.

[close]

3.

Spoiler

Ask her about being an accommodations officer.

[close]

4.

Spoiler

Then ask her for Preston's phone number.

[close]

5.

Spoiler

Jo can't remember the number offhand, but she does give you the address.

[close]

6.

Spoiler

Where's a good place to look up addresses and phone numbers?

[close]

7.

Spoiler

How about that phone book outside the canteen?

[close]

8.

Spoiler

Once you have Preston's number, go to the payphone and call him.  Keep talking until Rosaline puts the phone down on him.

[close]

Hope this helps you!

Nostradamus...I'm not sure how far through you are or what you have, but I'll do the best I can :)

1.

Spoiler

If you have the shovel, you must have been in the right room.

[close]

2.

Spoiler

It's the one where you see a message about 'how dark it is back here'.

[close]

3.

Spoiler

From the screen with the payphone, go right one screen and down one screen.

[close]

4.

Spoiler

The rubble you need to move is on the right hand side of the screen, blocking your path to the east.

What does 'eventually' mean? I've tried to exit the tunnel so many times... considering I just counted my most recent attempt at 15 goes, I must have tried at least 40 or 50 times by now.   :o:(

Does anyone have a game saved immediately exiting the tunnel?  ???
And are they prepared to send it to me?  :-*

I'm honestly not sure.  Like I said, it seems to be a problem in the engine rather than the script (I've double and triple checked it; this isn't a copout on my part) It seems to be totally random; when testing I got through on the fourth or fifth go ???

Don't worry, I know it's not your fault.
I suspect some sequence of events has made the crash more likely to happen in my game -  I can't believe I've beaten the odds that many times!

Maybe I'll try replaying, to see if doing things in order (ie w/o wandering about in between solving puzzles) will make a difference...

I'd still appreciate it if anyone had a saved game, though!  ;D

hi

thanx for your help judas i got thru the tunnel. same as the other guy, i like the way u give gradual hints. i only needed the first letter of the first hint and i got it  :P

BUT!  theres more stuckage. after emerging from the tunnel i chat to the cleric then get shot down by the sweepers. what do i do?

One little tip (again, not sure if you've read any of the previous posts and probably don't need to tell you but just in case...;)) the instant you do manage to get safely out, save the game; it's a lot more dangerous when you get out of the tunnel system ;) Also, the same error occurs when you leave it for the second time to go somewhere else...just thought I'd warn you to try and avoid too much frustration :)

Quote from: shax on Tue 06/04/2004 22:41:58BUT!  theres more stuckage. after emerging from the tunnel i chat to the cleric then get shot down by the sweepers. what do i do?

*happy sigh* Ah, UHS...we have so much to thank them for LOL! 8) As to what to do...read on:

Did you read what it said on your death scene?

2.

The sweepers followed you through the tunnel system.

What about the painting? (Roz took it when she emerged; it should be in your inventory)

[close]

6.

Spoiler

As soon as you come out of the tunnel system and arrive in the Underground, click the painting on the hole.

[close]

7.

Spoiler

Rosaline will slot it back into place.  You should now be able to talk to the Cleric and get out again in safety.

To be honest, I don't think there's anything I can do about the crashing; like I've said, it seems to be a bug in the engine rather than the script.  For some reason, the tunnel system seems to set it off.  I'm not sure if you've done this or not but if you want to know how to get shot of the tunnels once and for all, read on (and again, like I said in earlier posts, save the game before exiting...)

You only need to go through the tunnels once more, to get to another place.

It's north of the ladder leading back into the room with the trapdoor; you're looking for a metal ladder.

hi

this is what i get

error:move character:character not in room

could you put the saved part of the game at that point on the net to download.

this is the best game i have played. how will i be able to live  without finishing??????????

i think i will have to go on the dose so i lose my emotions.

I'll do my best :) I know the error message; that's how I know it's not a scripting error; there's no MoveCharacter command on either of those rooms and there certainly isn't one in that area of the script.  I'll try and see if I can get a save game worked out though :) Thanks for your comments; it's great to know people are enjoying it ;D

Hi
    This problem with the game crashing when you come out of the tunnels, I found that when I changed to play as Sparkplug in the tunnels the game always crashed at the end when I was coming out but if I played as Rosemary all the way through then it didn't. Hope this helps.

Hi JudasFM, thanks again for your great help. You're very patient  :)

Though when I....

check the corkboard outside Trent's office, I cannot see any notice about an assassination. I have checked it lots of times. So I think I have missed a step somewhere.

Hmm...maybe you have missed a step then ??? Okay, let's see...

1.

Once I did that I was on my way, thanks to you!

absolutely one of the best games i have played and definetly THE best i have played for a long time.

very very highly recommended.

a big thank you to judas who like the other game developers churn out free games for us to enjoy.

just finished the game. thanx maggie. i played with roz througout the tunnels and had no probs. no crashing etc. BUT! when i got into liberia instead of going to the palace i decided to go south and explore. at that point it crashed so be careful.

and to al those who are still stuck and not finished the game

YAAAA! BOOOOOOO! IM BETTER THAN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm obviously more retarded than the rest of you, because I can't seem to find much of anything.  I've got

Spoiler

Fish, Cloth, bottle of water, the dog is following me, and I've talked to the guy sitting on the trash can

and I can't seem to find anything else!  Someone please help!!!

I think it could just be a case of exploring the place more thoroughly.  ;)

*big smile* Thanks Shax; it's always great to know my work is  appreciated.  The sequel is on its way...I'm not sure how long it'll take.  It's been put on hold until after Easter 'cause hopefully I'm getting WorldBuilder Pro for my Easter prezzie...fingers crossed I can really crank out some nifty backgrounds 8)

Thanks!  LIke I said... I'm retarded!  :-)  I didn't realize I could walk over there.  SHows how observant I am... jeez.

Hey Ida got hints and my question got totally ignored!

Here's the question again:

Spoiler

I'm supposed to dig up rubble with the shovel but it doesn't do it to the rubble in the northeast becasue it ain't worth it cos there's only a wall behind it. So where's the rubble I'm supposed to dig up?

[close]

P.S. Why don't you just release a walkthrough?  A lot of people get stuck in this game, at least it will make it easier for you

Go to the screen to the right of the one with the phone in it, then go down. It should be obvious which one to pick!  ;)

Quote from: Nostradamus on Thu 08/04/2004 08:06:47

Not true; reread some previous posts-I gave you hints as well :P

Quote from: Nostradamus on Thu 08/04/2004 08:06:47P.S. Why don't you just release a walkthrough?  A lot of people get stuck in this game, at least it will make it easier for you

I know, but then it would make it too easy ;) Besides, I love working out hints :P I'm thinking of making a website with games I do; maybe if I do I'll put one on there.

QuoteI'm not sure what it is, to tell the truth. I had it once or twice in testing; sometimes it did it and sometimes it didn't, and nothing I did seemed to make the slightest bit of difference. There's no MoveCharacter command at all in that room (or on line 55 of the script) and I was never able to work out what caused it. If you save the game just before exiting the tunnels and keep going back, you should get through, but it might take a few gos.

After about 20 tries, i still cant get through the tunnel without the error command coming up at the end. and as for the person who says it is easier to go through the tunnels as Rosaline, that is not true because the error comes up in the first tunnel room. IS there nothing that can be done about it?

What do you mean by the first tunnel room?  As far as I know (in testing and in replies by other people) it only occurs when you try to LEAVE the tunnels.  As for playing through as Rosaline not working, well, that's very strange; once I passed that tip on to other people who had the same problems, it sorted it out just fine for them.  That doesn't necessarily mean you won't get the message; it just means you're far less likely to.

I meant that when i play as Rosaline i can go through the first tunnel screen but then Rosaline doesnt show and it says the message then.

I have tried so many times and it keeps saying it!!!

Cool game!  I just finished it, and it was really fun.  I was a little lost, because I haven't yet seen the movie, so I didn't really understand some of it.  I do plan on watching the movie though. :-)

Do you mind if I make a few suggestions?  I don't want to step on any toes.  Lord knows I would never be creative enough to write a game, so I suppose I'm not one to suggest anything... but here goes anyway.... First off, maybe include a read me file with little blurb about the plot, for people that haven't seen the movie.   Explain what the Dose is, and clerics and things like that.

There was one thing that was REALLY annoying for me.  Now, it may have just been my slow computer (see I played it at work, because I'm a slacker...  and the computers they give us here are pieces of CRAP)  but anyway...  Rosemary walked really slow.  It took forever to go from screen to screen, so especially on the parts of the game where you had to go from the underground to the resistance building and back again... oh my god, I was ready to rip my hair out!  And that's partly because I have no patience.  So maybe when you do the sequel (which I am anxiously awaiting by the way. :-) ) you could have a map screen to go directly to another location, instead of having to go from screen to screen.  Either that, or make it so we don't have to go so far between locations, or not have to go back to a far away location.   And like I said, it may have just been my piece of crap computer. :-)

Anyway, great game.  I hope I didn't make anybody mad with my comments.   I really admire those of you who make these games, because I certaintly couldn't do it!  

Hi Potch!  No, I don't mind; suggestions are always welcome ;D Let's see...

I did actually write a document to go along with this game explaining one or two things (basically in the form of a diary of one of the characters) but this wasn't included in the final version, mostly because it would give too much of the plot/story away.  I might well put something like it in the sequel...though please bear in mind that Out of Time was written for the Equilibrium fans and their website first, and AGS second :P I do still have that document though, so maybe in the future...

Rosaline's walking pace (I don't know why everyone keeps calling her Rosemary LOL!)...yep, there was a lot of walking between scenes.  I know how you felt; during the final testing that was without debug mode I was almost ready to throw something :P The sequel will certainly have a map kind of thing; also, (hopefully) thanks to Worldbuilder and Poser, the graphics and animations will be far more superior.  And there won't be so much walking between scenes unless you want to...right now the plan is that Rosaline's going to have some kind of map you can use from anywhere to go to anywhere.  There'll still be a fair amount of walking involved but not as much as in this one.  On that subject, though, I didn't feel Rosaline's animation was particularly slow...like you said, maybe it's your computer, or maybe I just got used to it ;) If I can figure out how, she might be able to run in the next one (kind of like in Longest Journey; the player single clicks to walk, double clicks to run).  Sequel screenshots on the way soon ;D

really DUMB question. i've saved my game every way i know how, but when i exit and go back, it's never there what am i doing wrong? also do not use the cassette player on rosaline in the sleeping room ( dont't know about anywhere else ) as all my inventory was erased

Think I've gone wrong somewhere............

What do you mean a funny ending?  Using the cassette and fish and getting the crowbar are all sort of extras;

Spoiler

if you're already in the Palace of Justice it's too late to use the cassette, same goes for the crowbar (which is in the tunnel system)

Porchbeast, I'm not sure about your post.  The only thing I can think of with the save games is that perhaps you don't have enough memory on your system?  Also, using the cassette recorder on Roz...I don't know what happened there, it wasn't something I wrote in ??? Still, thanks for the tipoff :)

Sorry about 'funny ending' comments...................but I I get knocked on head.................the end appears and then restore button pops up..............so a bit surprised at how the game ended and whether I had completed it right?  :-\

LOL Okay, I can see a lot of people coming back to me with the same comment so I think I'll clear it up right here and now :P

Yes, the ending is a little...abrupt.  It's supposed to be.  If you see The End appear, you've done it right; it won't appear on any of the death screens.

Please keep one thing in mind; this game is the first in a trilogy, so it's supposed to leave a whole lot of loose ends to be tied up ;) After all, if it all came right in the end, there would be no sequel potential ;)

Any hints as to what to do with the cassette??? Am I supposed to record a message? Who's? And I used the crowbar on the lid, but what good soes entering the tunnels there do? Thanks!

I played through this game just cause I like the movie, and I have to say that the game, though enjoyable for a while, sucked.

A lot of what goes on makes no sense. Like when I exited the tunnels the first time, and the cleric tells me that everybody has escaped, how come those sleeping people are still in there, sleeping soundly as if no attack occurred? And that other girl (Jo?) was still in the canteen. And as I was going out, Sue wasn't there, so I tried taking the ball for the heck of it, and what do I get? The usual. Sue telling me not to take he ball because of the dog yada yada yada. What, she's invisible now? And more still. I head back to the headquarters, and have the same Luke-dying sequence, again.
And how most of the time, the game lacks any sense of direction or objective, and that all the people aren't that helpful enough and once you talk to them once and deplete all the discussion paths, you can't have the same conversations again. Oh, and the ability to get items more than once, like the bone, and guns and pass.

Not to add the bugs, like the ones in the tunnels, or the disappearing inventory if you use the red card on yourself for example.

Word of advice: If you're planning to make more games, please pay more attention to the details & all potential scenarios to be taken by players. And have some bunch of decent playtesters test the game fro you.

I played through this game just cause I like the movie, and I have to say that the game, though enjoyable for a while, sucked.

And how most of the time, the game lacks any sense of direction or objective, and that all the people aren't that helpful enough and once you talk to them once and deplete all the discussion paths, you can't have the same conversations again. Oh, and the ability to get items more than once, like the bone, and guns and pass.

Not to add the bugs, like the ones in the tunnels, or the disappearing inventory if you use the red card on yourself for example.

Okay, first please bear in mind this was my first ever attempt at making a game, so there are bound to be some bloopers in it, though thanks for pointing them out :) I did use quite a few playtesters (see the credits) but all of them came back with little or no bugs and the few they did report came too late.

To be honest, I've no idea what happened in the tunnel system (and I'm thinking of adding that to my signature).Ã,  I checked and double-checked the script and there were no lines relating to moving that character in that room.

The reason the people didn't leave the bunk room was because they weren't actual NPCs, but part of the background itself, so I couldn't move them like the others.Ã,  (And okay, so I screwed up with Jo still being there...my bad :-\)

Using the red card on yourself...that's something I honestly thought I'd taken out before distributing the game.Ã,  It doesn't delete your inventory; it switches the player character to Sparkplug who, of course, has no inventory, or at least, nothing in it.Ã,  I only put that in so I could test the script and like I say, I was sure I'd taken it out.Ã,  Again my mistake.

No, you can't have the same conversation again.Ã,  How often in real life do you go up to someone and repeat yourself five or six times?Ã,  The dialogue wasn't vital to the game other than running scripts (the password etc) and so there was no real reason to keep it in.Ã,  People not being helpful enough?Ã,  I'm not sure how you define 'helpful' (unless you mean having to trek all the way from the entrance to the hideout and back again just to get the password...okay, I admit that was irritating.Ã,  If it's any consolation, I've got a map idea worked out for the sequel so you can jump around far more easily.)

Lacks direction and objective?Ã,  Um.Ã,  What exactly do you mean by that?Ã,  The direction's pretty clear from where I'm standing; you talk to a few characters and you know what you need to do next.Ã,  Objective...alright, perhaps I should have been slightly clearer in the readme file.Ã,  This is the first one in a trilogy.Ã,  You're not going to finish all the puzzles in this game because there's more to come.

I had no idea you could get the pass more than once, unless you mean that slip of paper that comes out when you insert the keycard?Ã,  In which case...it's a little like a receipt on a till; if you keep punching the buttons, you'll keep getting the paper out.Ã,  The bone...okay, I admit I should have done something about that.Ã,  Same with the guns.Ã,  To be honest, it never occurred to me that anyone would search the dead body a second time.Ã,  What's the point behind it?Ã,  Someone came and hid their possessions on some dead guy? ??? I don't get it.

All that aside, I admit I screwed up on those and should have allowed for them.Ã,  My bad :-[ I would like to say thanks for your comments though (no, I'm not being sarcastic!)Ã,  I've had people vote this game down but nobody's ever told me which bugs or bloopers needed work.  At least now I have some kind of starting block :)

I've got a far better grip on it this time and hopefully the sequel will be much better :)

Oh, and Cece, about that cassette recorder:

Spoiler

It's based kind of on an idea from the movie itself...when you're in the Tetra Grammaton cell, put it on the bench and start playing.Ã,  It'll draw the Cleric and sweepers away from the office to it and you can get into the security room and free the prisoners.

Hi, JudasFMÃ,  :D:

For a first game, Out of Time - Equilibrium is excellent in most aspects.

Please check a walkthru of your game:
http://www.agagames.com/agswalkthroughs/soldb.php?cmd=showGame&id=97

It has a list of bugs I detected myself when playing it. The comments in the beginning, sorry, I loved playing your game, but after having to go to a certain very away place for the sixth time and coming back, connected to a few annoying bugs, well, I started becoming stressed (my left eye started winking, my hands shaking, hehehe - Just jokingÃ,  ;)
Feel free to suggest or order - you're the copyright owner of the game, anyway - changes or even deleting it from there.

So, that tape... I suppose I must add a few more writing to the walkthru, as I thought I had finished it without needing it, so I though it was a red herring... Didn't see the movie, sorry.

Hi Primus!  Thanks for your comments; I'm glad you enjoyed it (bugs and all LOL!) I did check the walkthru ages ago, but my PC got whacked by a massive virus and I'm only just getting back on an even footing ::)

Oh god, you think I didn't? LOL! I didn't fully appreciate it until I was testing the whole thing; I was using debug keys right up until the end when I thought I'd play it as the player would.  By the third time I had to go all the way back to that place and come all the way back AGAIN, I was climbing the walls myself.  The sequel has a better interaction menu (right click...a little like the later Monkey Island games) and I also put the map in with kind of 'hotspots'; the player will need to walk to the spot initially to activate it on the map, but then they can just use the map to go straight there.

So, that tape... I suppose I must add a few more writing to the walkthru, as I thought I had finished it without needing it, so I though it was a red herring... Didn't see the movie, sorry.

I tried to make it so that people who hadn't seen the movie could still play and complete the game, even if some things may not make sense.  A lot of things seem red herrings but aren't, and vice versa.  I was going to put a points system in so the player would know they'd missed something (extra phone calls, freeing prisoners etc) but that came up just before the game was finished and I was getting tired of it.  For some reason, my version of AGS likes to take it upon itself to spontaneously erase chunks of sprite files and it wasn't until it was very close to the end that I got my spare PC up and running and could make backups (there wasn't enough room on my original hard drive).  Once it was finished, my first thought was to get it out and distributed before it could screw it up any more ;)

The cassette thing is so obscure, I think if I'd made it compulsory I would have been roasted alive :P There is only one real object in the game which serves absolutely no purpose and that's the bottle.  The coin and slip of paper you get from the entrance to the Underground...you can't use them, but for some reason the walkable areas didn't work on that room.  I tried and tried but couldn't fix it-they worked fine everywhere else-so in the end I made them conditional on those two inventory items.

Checking the walkthrough, you seem to have covered pretty much everything.  There is one thing I would really, really like you to change though: in the beginning when you say Rosaline enters the world through a pass of magic.  I know it seems that way when playing the game, but the ring she puts on really isn't magic.  It's going to be a fairly major part of the sequel and the player will find out the absolute truth in the third game, so I don't want to say what it is, but please can you change that part about magic?  Thanks :)

I'm sorry if my post came off a bit harsh, but I was a bit pissed off after I have completed the game which I thought it could have been better with the excellent premise going for it. Nonetheless, it was decent being your first game and all. I've seen worse. ;)

About the conversations, well I'm not one to say but I don't think it should work that way in adventure games, or games in general. Maybe you should have people change their scripts during different parts of the game, and not remain silent all throughout after talking to them once. If the information is vital, you should be able to go to revise it again in case you forget. About "being helpful", maybe it's me, but I thought nobody had something worthwhile that would be of help to the quest, and was just useless banter. I always felt lost most of time, going to HQ and back to the Underground and any other location, seeing if I've had missed anything. Like when I knew I had to meet a contact in Libria, I was puzzled on how to get there (didn't take the assassination note). What was the link between getting there and the assassination? Maybe in these cases, you could ask people and they should point out some clues. That would have been helpful. As I a said, I never had a sense of what I should be doing next most of the time.

Again about the dead body and stuff, I'm certain there are players like me that like to check stuff more than once, and sometimes after certain situations. In case of the body, I thought maybe I could find something else on it I haven't found the first time.

Anyways thanks for taking my criticism and being a sport. And if you ever needed someone to test your game, I would be more than glad to lend a hand. :)

Thanks :) I'm sorry if it frustrated you that much, but I know what you mean; I've played more than one game where I've felt so let down (Might and Magic IX springs to mind ;)) that I had to say something LOL!Ã,  Also, I don't mind if people don't like my stuff; what upsets me is when I get really bad ratings/reviews and nobody tells me why.Ã,  How'm I supposed to learn from my mistakes when I don't know what they are? :P

Actually, the characters' script does change during the game...at least, the important ones.Ã,  There are one or two 'red herring' NPCs (Sue, Razor, Stella etc) but the script for what I think of as the 'main characters' (Sanders, Luke et al) does update as you do things throughout the game.

As I a said, I never had a sense of what I should be doing next most of the time.

I'm very reluctant to make it too easy, where all you need to do is talk to the right person.Ã,  I've played too many games like that; talk to someone and they give you chapter and verse of what you need to do next, where you need to do it and who you need to talk to next.  Bear in mind the story; given these people are suspicious and don't know you, they're probably not likely to spill all their deepest secrets ;) The sequel should be a little clearer though *crosses fingers*

The link between getting to Libria and the assassination...okay, maybe I could have made that slightly clearer.Ã,  You say you've seen Equilibrium so you know how important Preston would be ;) If you reread the notice asking for help again, then the note about the assassination, you'll see that they're both to take place during the same night.Ã,  You'd be in Libria when it's going through, therefore you have to do something about it before you leave.Ã,  Uh.Ã,  Does that make any more sense? :)

Quote from: Momo on Sun 23/05/2004 06:08:08Again about the dead body and stuff, I'm certain there are players like me that like to check stuff more than once, and sometimes after certain situations. In case of the body, I thought maybe I could find something else on it I haven't found the first time.

I think if you search the body while you have the guns or rope and/or the rubble all the time you have the bone or bottle, you'll get a message saying that there's nothing else to be found there, which is why it was a little puzzling to me that you'd search it again later.Ã,  Next time Roz searches a body I think I'll just have her drag it offscreen and bury it LOL!

Quote from: Momo on Sun 23/05/2004 06:08:08Anyways thanks for taking my criticism and being a sport. And if you ever needed someone to test your game, I would be more than glad to lend a hand. :)

Careful, or I might just take you up on that offer as soon as I've found enough people to do the voices LOL! Seriously though, would you?Ã,  The others I used for the first one were great but they were more interested in actually playing the game than trying to break it :P

Hi again, JudasFM! :D

Thank you very much for spending your time answering, and for your so kind words and with your useful info.

Sorry for posting just now, but yesterday I couldn't gain access to the forum, I don't know why...

By the way, the game made me WANT to watch the movie, as I've seen already eg all star trek ones, the three matrix ones, etc.: I love Sci-Fi.

Yes, of course I will change the walkthru accordingly. That "pass of magic" wasn't to be taken in its proper sense, anyway. I knew there was a background behind, but what?

Thank you very much for having been so benevolent with me on your post! I'll also remove those stupid first remarks, as well as the bugs, except the one about the save when quitting the game: when I used it, the saved game always become unusable...
I'll do the changes right away, but they'll be available just when a moderator checks them and puts them online.

Pls make a walkthru yourself: made by the author is a must, as he/she knows EVERYTHING about the game, what to do, in what order, what are useless items, and so on.

So,

Spoiler

the recorder was to be used right before escaping from the cell by the hole done with the shovel? Wow, I could scarcely think of using it that way! It was a smart placed task!

[close]

And don't worry, I think too many game hints, or - sometimes - too obvious, are worse then less ones. And I totally agree with you when you say

QuoteI'm very reluctant to make it too easy, where all you need to do is talk to the right person.Ã,  I've played too many games like that; talk to someone and they give you chapter and verse of what you need to do next, where you need to do it and who you need to talk to next.

Ah, about the fish, I tried so many times to use it with everything, everyone and with each new item I got, that I started hating it! Congratulations for a so smart placing of an item in the beginning just to be used at is endÃ,  ;D

Yeah, that coin made me try it with some ppl too (as there weren't gum machines or else for it); the paper, I felt it was a red herring since the beginning.

I repeat: being your first game, it was a wonder, as it was a very, very ambitious project. And, for me, your game deserves at least 8 out of 10. Even if it was your 50th game, it would get a high rank in my point of view. Huge quantity of playing spaces, well designed backgrounds and characters, very smart use of unuseful background items (trying to interact ALL possible ways with the statue, the box, the fire bin, etc., made my brains look like used chewing gum - my avatar came from your game and other ones like yoursÃ,  ;), a very intelligent story, and so on!
I can't hardly wait for playing the sequel! :-)

If I forgot something important, sorry, and please make me know.

*shakes head* That was probably the dumbest thing I ever did on this game.  I spent so long wrestling with the idea of getting that GUI working that I forgot to test the restore *thwaps self on forehead*.  Thanks for warning people though; I put it on the game's blurb but I'm not sure how many people read the detailed version ;) I fixed it in the sequel though (and triple-tested it so I know it works ;))

I've been meaning to update the game's official site for a while actually; I'll definitely be adding a walkthrough of this one.  Again, I like to leave it a while so that people can actually play them, otherwise if they get stuck it's too tempting to just look up the answer ;)

LOL Thanks ;D It seems to be compulsory in games; every single game I play has an object I wind up hating for some weird reason.

*blushes* Thanks; I tried my best.  I think it turned out okay at any rate, considering I'd never programmed anything beyond a basic website when I started.  Then again, that's what I love most about AGS; it's one of the very few programs that really can be used by experts or complete novices.

The sequel's hovering at the minute...I'm waiting for some of the people who said they'd do voiceovers to get back to me and saving up for Paintshop; MSPaint's pretty good but it's tedious ;D If you're interested, there should be screenshots up on the site pretty soon :)

It does. But still, a subtle clue would have helped here. Like if Rosaline, after reading the assassination note, said that she would have to do something about it, that might have helped the player to establish a link between the two. I hope the sequel would be clearer in all respects.

Okay, I'll bear that in mind.  Like I said, what with one thing and another, it'll probably be a long time before it's ready for testing, but thanks :D

Hi there!

As Momo, I offer myself for beta testing. So I could be one of the first ones to play it! YEAH!

Pls send me a message if you need an implacabe one  ;) Just kidding, of course!

Either from the Full-Length Games section (it's on page 2) or from the game's website http://www.freewebs.com/zintan/  Equilibrium 1 is under 'Completed Games'

Um... I know this probably sounds stupid but i can`t figure out what to do in the beginning. i`ve got the ring and read the letter but i have no idea what to do next. sorry for this stupid question but i have tried so many things and still can`t figure out what to do.

Hi JudasFm,

Must say you're a good sport with the critic you received. I found the same bugs allready reported here and I also found it quite annoying walking through back & forth from the underground to the house on the leftside and had a lot of problems figuring out what to do next most of the time. But it's quite ok for a first game. About the move character scripting error (it is a scripting error; 100% sure; otherwise other games would have also had it)  I think I 've still got some tip. I've had the error in several places (random through the gam) and always when no character was drawn. I think it has something to do with the general order you are approaching a room. (just a thought). And yeah I know this is not the right forum for it. But since it allready contains all the hints you need (cool UHS style) and there were several posts about it before I just thought one more post like this couldn't hurt.
Keep up the good work and if you need another beta tester don't hesitate to ask me.

Hi JudasFm,

Heh, thanks ;) Like I say, I really don't mind people slamming things down into the ground...if it's justified :) What gets me is when I get bad reviews and people just don't say why ???

Quote from: Nachtvlinder on Sun 07/11/2004 11:59:37I found the same bugs allready reported here and I also found it quite annoying walking through back & forth from the underground to the house on the leftside and had a lot of problems figuring out what to do next most of the time.

Okay...at the risk of repeating myself, have you seen the movie?  It's just most of the EQ fanbase on the message boards seemed to get through it with no trouble...or at least, no more than you'd expect ;) I can't remember if I mentioned it or not but I'm allowed to plagiarise myself so: the game was written almost purely for the fanbase first, AGS second.

The walking thing...yup.  Okay.  I didn't fully appreciate that until I played it all the way through just before releasing it; up until then I'd been testing in debug mode.  On the good news side though, the map idea in the sequel is definitely going ahead...should cut a lot of repeat-walking down ;)

Could be.  I don't have the scripting files any more...I'd be interested to know where else you had the error though ??? As far as I can tell, it only really seemed to occur in the tunnel system and Libria (and that last one rarely).  You're probably right about it being a scripting error, but I remember checking, double checking and triple checking the scripts for that room and I still couldn't figure out how it was happening *shakes head*

TBH, the Hints and Tips forum is about the only one I visit on a regular basis, so if you want me to read anything about the EQ games, this is the place to put it ;) Lazy, I know, but still...

Out of Time was a bit of an exploratory game for me, to get used to and comfortable with AGS; also it was kind of an experiment, I wanted to see if the EQ fanbase was up for it before I spent eighteen months or so writing a game nobody wanted to play.

I'm a lot more comfortable with scripting etc now, so the second game should be a lot better for bugs and bloopers...or worse, I guess, depending on how you look at it ;) Watch this space...

Thanks so much for your comments though; I always appreciate them (good or bad ;))

This sounds daft, but like the post above, i am stuck at the same point - read letter etc and have ring. But how do i get out of the living room ?!

Ok, got a lot futher, but stuck again

Spoiler

Where is the 7th bridge, i know it's '2 blocks up from tetra grammaton,' but wheres that ?

[close]

Oh dear........Ive got 2 saved games, one from quite near the beginning, and the 2nd just after i get out of the tunnel and speak to the bloke with his leg shot........

Spoiler

As i leave the room though to find the others that have scattered in the Nethers, i get shot. Obviously i dont want to re start near the beginning and my later save starts me in that room! Is there anything i use in the room to disguise myself, or am i going to have to stop playing the game ?!!

Oh boy; I think I mentioned somewhere in the readme or on the download part about that. Ã, No, there's nothing you can do in the room to disguise yourself; the only way to stop being shot is:

Spoiler

Did you pay attention to the 'death message'?

[close]

Spoiler

If only there was some way you could stop them following you...

[close]

Spoiler

What do you have in your inventory that could block the hole?

[close]

Spoiler

As soon as you get out of the tunnel system, you need to replace the painting.

[close]

Maybe someone somewhere has a saved game they could send you...?

Oh well, i enjoyed the game up to that point anyway - even though id never even heard of EQ !! Not being a fan, quite a bit of it was confusing, but i still think that you can enjoy the game without having to of watched the film. Well done on making it  :)

Error: MoveCharacter: character not in current room

I think I worked out when or why the above mentioned error occurs!
It happens every time you change back from Sparkplug into Rosaline and exit the screen. At the next screen you actually do NOT see Rosaline (character not in current room?) and the game crashes after your next mouse click.

I think you cannot complete the game using Sparkplug as guide in the tunnels!

So for all who need help:

Spoiler

- don't  change into Sparkplug!
- walk through the tunnels as Rosaline!
- go RIGHT, DOWN, DOWN, UP, LEFT, DOWN, LEFT, DOWN, UP, DOWN

Hello!

I'm completely stuck at quite beginning (I think). Just absolutely impossible for me to find the shovel (why do these adventuregames has to always be something, that drives you mad...  ;) ) Seems nice game still :) though haven't seen the movie. When I red about the movie, the game made me a quite bit more sense  ;D

Hello! Is there a better seller of event tickets than ticketmaster?
I really need this info..Thanks :)

I don't remember Ticketmaster in the game. ;D
