need help with the measuring device

Go back to the control centre and ask that girl, she gives you good hints, though I am not sure which settings I was using, trial and error and then all the sudden it worked
and the scene changed, couldn't see what I used. If I want to look it up again, he tells me I am done with it :)

I fixed the vent but now I am stuck in calling the water supply, any of those 3 choices
aren't working for me and the other 2 guys are not helpful - suppose
Spoiler
the burning jacket has to be used somewhere?

You need to mention the right name when you call. Maybe there are some things in the hallway labeled with names of employees?

Yes, the burning jacket is needed to make sure that dangerous gasses that could escape somewhere burn before they poison anyone.

     Okay, I'm stuck a little before you guys were:

Spoiler
I just opened the pad lock and got the tape and flowchart. I'm not sure what I am supposed to do now. The only places I have been is the starting room, the room with the hose and medkit, the big room that leads to the control room and the control room itself. I have newspaper, oxygen tank, matches, tape, scissors, metal bar, plastic bag, wrench, flowchart, I think thats it. What now?

Hints for getting the good ending:

#1 - vague
Spoiler
If you didn't get to play Matt, you didn't get the good ending.
[close]
#2 - less vague
Spoiler
IfÃ,  Matt doesn't handcuff Clyde during the ending sequence, you did well. However, if you get Clyde to review his past through certain items, something may happen.
[close]
#3 - not vague at all
Spoiler
Maybe there more of those newspaper articles like the one from the beginning to be found?
[close]


The measuring device:
Spoiler
First, get the paper stuck behind the measuring device. Look at it in the info menu. The measuring device itself is the starting point. We see that it's in front of the pipe, and a little above it since the pipe is set into the ground. We need to start adjusting our values from the device itself. X would go left and right horizontally to the pipe. Y vertically. And Z goes through it.

First thing to do is finding the center on the Z axis. We know we're measuring inside the pipe if the density is about ~1.00 something. Then we move down on the Y-axis until device measures the lowest point possible inside the pipe.

I've found two newspaper articles, CANT get the good ending, Im at 60% of trust right now, I should probably restart playing to get it or there's still a possibility, the only thing left to do to finish is
Spoiler
putting the jacket on fire, and use the pipe
[close]

My question would be, is it impossible to get it without restarting now?
Title: Re: reactor 9
Post by: Bernie on Fri 08/12/2006 06:11:27
It's fine, you can still get the good ending! :D You can get the good one at any point provided your trust is 50% or higher and...

This game is fantastic so far, except for the DAMN MEASURING DEVICE!!!!

Please, just tell me the damn code already! I've followed your hints and I don't understand. I must be stupid then. And sheer luck isn't getting me anywhere either. What makes me so frustrated in this instance is that the game was so much fun I'm annoyed that I cannot continue, where in some other AGS games I'd have just deleted it off my hard drive. That's a compliment amongst my angry rantings.

I finished the game once with this bad ending:

Spoiler
I was handcuffed to the lantern at the end.
[close]

I want to discover both other bad endings and the good one.

Spoiler
For the good one: I've already found the second newspaper article, but I can't show it to Matthew. I need a hint on where the third one is and how I can play Matthew etc. I also only have 40% trust, is there a good way to gain 10% more?
[close]

Thanks for the great game again.

And, sorry, Matt, I can't go back to take a loot at the device-code, keep trying though, the game is really great.

ManicMatt,

If you show Matthew the wrench you'll get +10% trust.  The third newspaper article is behind a door.

ManicMatt and Cesaran, about the measuring device:

X doesn't really matter, all you need is Y -2 (deepest point) and Z 3(the middle of the pipe)

3rd newspaper article hint:

'Behind a door' is a widdle vague, so I thought I'd add something: It IS a door, but it's a smaller one than those normal ones! :D

I did managed in dealing with the crank and chain by while moving it to the left (with control guard).

I do see a backup switch in pressure room with two valves one of them is close and the other is open. I did try open/closing valves including using backup switch and still no success. I do have dirty clothes.

Always try to give the 'nicest' answers when you talk to Matt or other people.

Maybe you didn't miss getting the trust up, but you get some trust subtracted sometime?

I tried about everything and got lots of boost, but one time I tried talking to Matt about everything and 10% were subtracted. I think I got another subtraction of 10% for something else. I really don't want to replay the whole game to get the good ending, that's why I was asking whether there are any other possibilities to boost the trust. I also hoped finding the second and third newspaper article would boost it again, but I can't seem to do anything with the articles and when I go into the reactor room with 40% trust and all articles, I get a bad ending... Will I have to play it again?

As far as I know, aside from the various dialogs that you are FORCED into to, the only way to lose/gain trust is
Spoiler
Show wrench to Matt, talk to Matt about everything.
[close]
After doing that, I think you get +60% trust, if you get everything right. I'm sure there's a way to get more trust than that, but I haven't found it.

So... I think you're stuck below 50% unless you figure out something else.

The control system tells you about three problems to solve:
Exhaust on top
Steam producer
Cooling pump
I began at the top and worked down.

Well, I fixed the steam producer and the cooling pump... And I'm not allowed to touch them anymore, so I guess order doesn't really matter. Only thing left is the exhaust, and I've tried using all items I have on both the wheel thingy and the exhaust itself.

DaVince,

"The reactor's gas is toxic and HIGHLY FLAMMABLE." Do you have something that you could set on fire?

Spoiler
Well yeah, I figured that out pretty easily. The matches. But I have no idea where I leave those, or light them safely. Using them on the exhaust and the wheel thing won't work as far as I've tried. And I don't have anything I could set on fire to throw in th eexhaust or something.

I'll fiddle around a bit more, I guess. :(

Okay, figured it out! :D

If you mean the door in the hallway, you don't need the clothes to open that door.

To open the reactor "control" door:
Spoiler
You need the guard in the bathroom to open it, but you need to wake him up first. Take the bucket that's in the turbine room, and bring it to the bathroom and fill it with water. Use it on the door and the guard will eventually open the door for you.

Well - I've finished the game again and got the best ending! Thanks Bernie.

Now I have the impression that there are four endings: two bad endings, but one is the worst. I wonder if the worst ending is triggered if you manage to die in the final scene while playing as Matt?

My guess.... 1. Had 60% but not all newspaper clips; back to prison but being trusted
                    2. Again 60%, but all newspaper clips and got shot
                    3. Then -50% :) - being mean as good as I could, wasn't allowed to shut down the reactor - it blew up
                    4. Reading through here, there is another ending where you get handcuffed?

Anything to add?
Title: Re: reactor 9
Post by: Bernie on Thu 14/12/2006 22:09:16
When playing as Matt, you can get two different endings.

If your trust is less than 50% in the end, Clyde gets handcuffed during the last scene. Same ending happens if you don't have all the articles.

If the trust is too low (-30 or lower) in the reactor control room, Matt insists on evacuating.

That's all 4 of them! :D

Hm, I haven't quite managed that...

Spoiler

I have the ladder and have put it down in front of the lever. I have the chain but can't attach it because the hook is too far away. The hook is supposed to be moved from the control room computer, but if I use the computer, all it does is checks on the reactor. Talking to Roland and Irene doesn't help either.

I've done the other two thinks (sorted out the cooling pumps and burnt off the exhaust).

Getting into the locker isn't necessary for the telephone. Maybe somewhere around the locker a name can be found to provide another phone option....

very fun if real short...got the best ending without showing the pipe at 50% can't see how to get higher then 60%. 


Guys who are stuck...the trick with all adventure games is to mouse over EVERYTHING.  And to return to previous places with an open mind.  You will backtrack and you will need everything you pick up.


@wnsk...what would you do in first aid class...though the heigine is questionable

@Barak...if you can't get to it with someone on your back perhaps you should come back later...and if your arms are too big maybe use a 'tool' to help you reach inside...though it's a bit of a leap, if logical

@verlaine37 it's not an elevator if I understand correctly it's the reactor control room, you will need the assistance of an employee...try check all the rooms available to you and pay attention to the 'sounds'

In the best ending he isn't handcuffed to the pole, and goes on to do other stuff.  One of the things between that point and the end will determine whether or not the best ending is reached.
