You draw sprites...

I think he means what utility did Radiant use to extract the graphics from the original KQ3 game

If you read the dialogs that appear when you start the game, you'll see a list of Ctrl combinations you can use for debugging.

I had trouble typing the debugging features because I did not know what the "^" meant.

And uh, is there a walkthrough for this game (what I really meant was like do you finish this game of is it just a just a game like Runescape or MU?)

dreammaster · Fri 20/08/2004 07:55:09

Edwinxie, the game is still a beta, and not completed yet. If you're familiar with the original Sierra game, you can get almost as far as dealing with Manannan. That is, you can get to a stage of being able to gather *most* of the spell ingredients and casting some of the spells, although you can't use the results yet.

We discussed earlier whether a walkthrough should be made available. Whilst I don't want to put words into Radiant's mouth, the current betas are really aimed at getting people to experiment with what's been done so far and evaluate whether the puzzles are fair or not. Having a walkthrough would effectively destroy that.

If you really get stuck on anything, post a hint request to the AGDI forums http://www.agdiforums.com/forum/ and either myself or one of the others can help you out

I haven't played the Original Sierra Game cause it is too big to download. How do you drop items? I don't mean all items but just like one single item.

dreammaster · Fri 20/08/2004 08:26:37

Too big? The original game was only about 2Mb. In any case, piracy is strongly discouraged, so if you haven't played the original, I'd recommend looking for a copy of the KQ collection on EBay.

Since you're unfamiliar with the game, I'll just state that in this remake (which changes many of the puzzles anyway), you can get through the first four days of gameplay. This is most of the storyline that occurs as you prepare to escape the grasp of your evil master, the wizard Manannan. The rest of the game, finding a way home and dealing with the problems therein, hasn't been scripted by Radiant yet.

Edwin Xie · Fri 20/08/2004 08:34:47

Oh, wait the one I mentioned was the remake.

fluxmaster · Fri 20/08/2004 14:56:28

To drop an item

Spoiler

click on the floor under your bed.Ã,Â You can only drop items in your bedroom, and you can pick them up later.

Where do you download the Original Sierra Game? Also, what do you do with the orb? And why does the game end after you drink the test potion? After I pass out the game seems to restart then he gets called to polish his telescope.

dreammaster · Sat 21/08/2004 05:17:04

There's nothing you can do with the orb yet. As for the potion, it's a nasty potion to ensure your permanent obedience. Obviously, this is bad, particularly as you want to escape. So you'll need to figure out a way to avoid drinking the potion without Manannan catching on.

Radiant · Sat 21/08/2004 19:17:07

Auhsor -> No they don't, that is absolutely illegal, and if I were a moderator here I would have censored your post. (Sierra is still selling their old games and has serious issues against abandonware)

Edwinxie -> Dreammaster is absolutely correct. Oh, and ^ means control, that abbrev is even used in MS Word I believe.

Edwin Xie · Sat 21/08/2004 23:47:40

I believe that www.abandonia.com got permission to host the games.

How do I avoid drinking it? Going into the Kitchen?

Check out the AGDI thread at http://www.agdiforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8520. You'll find the answer there.

Edwin Xie · Sun 22/08/2004 06:34:36

I'm afraid, I didn't find the answer there.

dreammaster · Sun 22/08/2004 07:31:52

On page 2, the "To get past the potion you must.." bit.

Spoiler

First click the potion on the ground near you. This will make you pour it on your clothes and the ground whilst pretending to drink it. You must then click the use hand on yourself to pretend to do the spinning and collapsing that would happen if you really had drunk the potion.

Let me say it once more. We got permission to place the KQ games that are on the site. We were not allowed to place KQ7.

Straight from the abandonia.com forums

Yeah I couldn't believe it, but I go on their forums a bit and yeah, It seems that they do have permission... But getting back on topic...
