Post by: piperhcombs on Mon 16/06/2008 19:28:07
I'm stuck partway through the game. I can't figure out how to

program the extender crystal

The software store guy can't help and neither can the bot in Radio Shock. I seem to be out of options. Any hints?

EDIT: Nevermind. I figured it out. Now I can't get off the planet I beamed to.

Also stuck, on Starcon
Spoiler

I gave the scanner to the doctor and found two of three fluids and the passcode. Have no keycard for the locker in the crew rooms and cannot enter the class room where the two cadets are, even though I can open the door. Have the wire but cannot do anything to open the non-functional door. Need a (one) nudge into the right direction.

The Class room is only a trick, you will never be able to enter this room, and try talking to the waitress robot in the bar and before that, mix the two fluids.

Use the Tracker part with the wire and the power cell, and you got a Coordinate Tracker.
Use this with the console on deck 4 and you can beam over

Spoiler
I'm fairly at the beginning, I got the fuse and the hook. What do I do now?  I know I have to get the screwdriver from the sandpeople truck and somethign down the drain (need something to tie the hook to).  How do I get these items? What do I do next?

Nostradamus,

To get the thing down the drain:

Spoiler
From where you found the fude walk to the left. There are a lot of Spacepods parked. Look at the bottom right one and find this one open. Use the pod to find a talisman which looks like a MAGNET ON A ROPE.
[close]

To get the screwdriver:

Spoiler
In your own ship is a rope near the top left seat. Use it on the hook. Use that to get the screwdriver.

Nostradamus,

Which leaves me with the quesions: where's that drain? and where do I get a battery for the keys/how do I get in my ship?
Edit: never mind, I've already found it, now I ran into the bug mentioned earlier (ObjectOff: invalid object specified when combining the rope with the hook.
FYI: ACI ver 2.72.920 is mentioned in the dialog box, in case that's of any help to you) How do I bypass this bug? (I presume some people have, judging by how far they've gotten into the game)

yes sorry, that is a bug that sometimes occur in this version, just try it the other way round, use hook with rope, that should work fine!

What remote control are you referring to? There's a scanning device or a tracking device.

I'm stuck at the chapel when Zandra wants to marry Roger. I'm outside the Chapel and I think that I need to beam back up to the ship, but when Roger says that he needs to get the signal stronger on the communicator before he call the ship. How can I get a stronger signal?

See the walkthrough here:

http://gamesolutions.efzeven.nl/space-quest-iv5-roger-wilco-and-the-voyage-home-walkthrough-peter-engel2008/

Does anyone's inventory disappear after the story at the Starcon academy starts?  I have also talked to the security guard at the bar and the key does not show up in my inventory.

That is a problem, I encountered sometimes.
If you use arrow up 2 or 3 times, the items will appear in the inventory.
If someone knows how to fix this, please pm me!

Gumpy:

In your inventory use the needle on the communicator to open the back and use the cable you can find on the lightpost on the communicator to boost the signal.

Thanks for this great game i also discovered before doing the very last thing in the game that my score was 431 out of 415. So you might want to fix your point system and maybe update your walkthrough with the correct points.

John,

That's probably because you talked to the doctor on deck 5 several times. Your points keep adding up then. I only wrote about it once .. ;-)

With Version 1.100 this bug is fixed.
