Title: Locked out
Post by: jane on Sat 24/07/2004 11:49:43
Anyone else finding a problem with the game Locked Out? Everytime I try to go to shed the game crashes!

That's odd. I was able to finish the game without it crashing. By the way, it was a nice little game.

I played it through a number of times to test it without it crashing. What exactly do you do when the game crashes? Is it when you look at it, or try to use something with it? I can't seem to make it crash.

I interact with the shed door to open it and get an error that has something to do with "room not set" or something simular to that.

Okay, thanks for pointing this out. It's strange that some people had the problem when others didnt. I think I've fixed it tho, and it was possibly to do with an old plugin which I decided not to use in the end, but forgot to remove script for. It only seemed to break under certain circumstances. Here is the updated download, please let me know if it works:

Now that you've turned off the power to the house, getting rid of any noisy distractions, try seeing if you can get anyone to let you in.

Look at the status bar at the top of the screen. It will let you know when your mouse is over something different to the table.

Have you gone round to the side of the house? There is a side entrance to the back garden.

I keep trying to walk around the house and I can't.  I went through the back gate but can't get anywhere from there and I tried walking around the other side but that won't work either.  Am I doing something wrong?

Follow the path down from the back garden

I don't believe you need any of the sticky stuff.

You have to be patient, what you need is on the table :)

Good luck

Er... then apparently you haven't looked hard enough.  It's there.

You should be able to find a "metal thing", at almost the exact center of the screen.  (Maybe a little left of center...)

If you're talking about the screwdriver, I found that a while ago.  But I can't use it on the broken wires; it's not long enough.

That's what you need from the shed, yes.  Well... one of the things.  You actually need something else from the shed, too, but the second thing isn't on the table.  And no, you can't use the screwdriver on the broken wires.  But you can use it on something else.


Spoiler
The license plate on Mom's car.  Of course, you'll have to distract the blond guy first.  I'll leave it to you for now to figure out how to do that...  ;)
