The long trip

[Cris]

Help me please! I used the straw on the red car behind the bus, but nothing happens! I can't open the car! and I need the saw!

[yipshi]

Spoiler

You need to get the chainsaw before using the car.

[close]

I'm completely stuck.

Spoiler

I read a message that said to keep talking to the sawfish untill I get a station model, but that doesn't work.  Do I have to give him fishfood or turn on the lamp?  Also, I haven't seen anything having to do with a wire puzzle or than the pig tutorial.

Perhaps you have something sharp that you can give him to replace his saw

Perhaps you have something sharp that you can give him to replace his sawÃ, 

But you have first have used the saw on the Lantern and have talk with the mermaid  before you can talk with the sawfish

[yipshi]

[/spoiler] Well, I have done all of those things.  I can't use the saw on the lamp in the aquarium because it's too high.

I feel really dense about this right now...please help:

Spoiler

I have in my inventory: hair tie, bread, garbage pail, lighter, pipe, credit card, brochure, chain saw, whistle, milk box, straw, entry mouse hole, banana peel, rope, book, pair of shoes, newspaper about truffles, money, skull, rabbit, and padlock key; I don't know where the aquarium room is (I have been on floor 999 with the fireworks but there is no turnstyle to an aquarium) (I also set off the firework on display), and I don't know where to get the truffle mentioned in the newspaper...

Please help...I am so frustrated...

Not that lamp but the burning lamppost near the alley

[Ndougou]

I'm stuck..... :

I have absolutely no idea on how to get a fire engine. I talked with the fish in the aquarium but he always just greets me.

I repaired the circuit in the left lantern but I don't know, which purpose this riddle has.....

I got the pig but I don't know what I can use it for.....

Please give me some hints.... :

[Artphreak]

I need help...again, please:

Spoiler

Okay, I am wearing the shoes now and i got the pig, I spoke with the Mermaid about helping her friend the sawfish but for the life of me I cannot find the aquarium anywhere (I read all the posts about a turnstyle somewhere that leads to the aquarium or something but I cannot find it, someone please help...what screen is it on? I am going crazy! lol.

[Artphreak]

Peter, you are a life saver...Thank you

[yipshi]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Spoiler

I've spoken to the mermaid, but she doesn't say anything about the sawfish.  I've tried using the saw on the lamp, but it's too high.  The sawfish doesn't say anything but hello.  What am I missing

[close]

Please help.  I've been stuck for several days.

[jane]

yipshi

Spoiler

I'm not too sure - I know the sawfish just said hello to me to start with then I wandered round a bit more - I think I may have gone back to the mermaid after seeing the swordfish.  I looked at swordfish and then kept talking to him and eventually he told me about his sword...........have you tried just giving him your saw? [\hide]

[close]

[yipshi]

Yup, I've done that too.  There must be something small that I have missed.  Anyone else have an idea?

[yipshi]

Spoiler

I haven't gotten the yellow power that everyone is talking about.  Where are the switches for that?  Perhaps that's why I can't talk to the sawfish?

[close]

[Artphreak]

yipshi:

Spoiler

The yellow power lines are in the lamp post near the blanket shop (in front of alley)...use your chain saw on that

[close]

I need help also at the end:

Spoiler

I read an earlier post about what the holy grail should say but the last word is not on my cup(sich)...I am not sure what it should say...maybe i am missing something, or I just cannot read the German that well, considering I don't know German...

[Mordalles]

im also stuck where yipshi is.

Spoiler

tried using chainsaw with lantern in front alley. tried talking to fish, he just keeps on saying hello. and also talked with mermaid, but its just the same little conversation over and over.   

also, why can i put the banana peel infront of edwin on the ground?
this game already crashed so many times its not even funny anymore.

[close]

walkthrough anyone?
why did they make the game 800x600 in the 1st place. 640x400 would have worked just as well. its not like they needed larger resolution for more detailed backgrounds?

[Dusty D.]

> this game already crashed so many times its not even funny anymore.

Yes, it really seems to be a problem. In fact, the game crashed from time to time during testing with that mystery "too many events posted" error, but not too often. I asked for help on this last summer, but got no answer, that solved the problem (neither here nor anywhere else) - only a lock for crosspostingÃ, 

Then I found out two things about this error:
1) It only seemed to happen when accessing hotspots.
2) It happened more often on fast machines.

Because no-one could help, we added two little helpers:
1) You can adjust the game speed. If the game crashes too often, try to increase the game's speed in the system control panel inside the game (see readme.txt for details)

2) We added an auto-save function. When the games crashes, you can continue at the beginning of the scene, where the error occured (see readme.txt for details).

Just after we had uploaded the first release, we got to know, that they found out, that it's a bug inside the AGS engine...Ã,  : I tried to recompile with the fixed beta version of AGS, but it doesn't work without some major changes in the code... We'll bring a recompiled version within some weeks, promised - but this really takes time, as the whole beta testing has to be done once more.

In addition, we asked a guy from Texas to lecture the english version. The next release will have both updates.

By the way...: To workaround the crash, you can try to make some steps aside before you interact with something you think it's a hotspot (cp. this thread: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=25330.0

Pl. believe, that we're not really satisfied with this situation, too... esp. as it brought us votings like "very buggy"... we're working on it and everything will be good & the world will be saved!

[Mordalles]

i dont mind the crashing. i save often, so no prob. it happens mostly in the supermarket, especially after i interact with a lot of hotspots. i have a very slow pc. 

i dont think "too many events posted" is an ags bug. i actually think its an scripting error.  but i maybe wrong.  8) i have scripted a 500meg game.  8)

now, can somebody help me with the place im stuck at (see my previous post)
