no it doesn't. At least not on my system. If you wait, you get the intro, and if you press ESC, you get the hallway of the wizard's house.

[King's Quest III enhanced]

King's Quest III enhanced could use the help of a number of testers and/or proofreaders.
It has an enhanced plot and a mouse interface; the graphics are from the AGI version.

For details, please see this thread.

Hi there,

KQ3 enhanced!! Well, it had to happen sooner or later
I've been working on an enhanced version of the Sierra classic King's Quest III. The game has now progressed to a playable stage, and I would really appreciate everybody's opinion of it. In particular, that of testers and proofreaders.


This first public version allows you to play most of Llewdor, about fifty rooms or so. The plot has been enhanced and deepened (which is one of the things I'd like feedback on). Also there are more puzzles, and less items just lying on the floor. And Manannan is as bad as ever.
KQ3+ was created with AGS. uses the original AGI graphics (with a few new ones), but has a mouse-driven interface. Also, the music sounds a lot better in MIDI than it ever did on your PC speaker.


beta-4 Just a meg and a half! Downloadable version here.
(edit: this is the FOURTH beta)

(includes teleport cheat and the usual debugging features, with Insta-Logging (tm) as well)
Please find some bugs for me? Thanks!

Try %d (for digit) rather than %s (for string) ?

Yes, except that it should be while rather than if

There's a difference between the text color, and the GUI's foreground color (the latter being a border around the GUI). I believe they may be identical for text popups, you'd ahve to check that.

[stop]

I don't know, but it sounds that it behaves that way. You need to stop the music first, then call SetMusicRepeat

Solved now, with a workaround.

Don't use that character then, in my opinion game names using these characters are evil anyway.

I like evil

a function like ObjectOn() can be used as a rvalue; it is unclear what, if anything, it returns

within the inventory GUI, would it be possible to center each item within its SetInvDimensions() allocated space?

the operators |=, &= etc don't work

If I select 'draw hotspot on inventory cursors', (e.g. click on the option) AGS gives the error 'you need to select an inventory item first' The option itself works fine, though.

If I select 'dont use inventory gfx as mouse cursors', instead the mouse cursor becomes the Blue Cup (tm) - even if none of my mouse cursors in the cursor menu have that graphic

It seems to me that if you use a sequence like this:
  while (a < b) {
    SetObjectPosition (2, 100, a);
    Wait (2);
    a++
  }
then the object will move halfway of what I specify, and then snap to its destination at once. Why?
Actually the same happens with moveobject().

Using the following code...
  PlayMusic (1);
  StartCutscene (1);
  ...
  while (IsMusicPlaying ()) Wait (1);
  EndCutscene ();
If I press ESC to terminate the cutscene, the music is still playing.

Isn't it true that if (IsGamePaused ()) is equivalent to if (IsInterfaceEnabled () == 0) ? If not, what's the difference?

Why isn't ShakeScreenBackground(0,0,0) be a valid way of turning the thing off again?

This code gives an error message (incorrectly terminated char const?)
  int i, try;
  try = 'X';
(and try = 'Z' would work!)

adding a wait(1) between enabling the bg frame and the displaying of the message should do it.
Because displaying a message doesn't actually update the screen behind it.

In that case I wonder what would happen if I'd change system.screenwidth (sp?)  to 410

Second!

Also search/replace, and the 'start from current position' flag being /saved/ when you close and re-open the editor, and preferably the cursor position as well if that's possible.

That was Sorcerer. I haven't gotten through Spellbreaker yet but Sorcerer was amazing.
('what happened to my plant!!!')
Oh, and I liked the description for the 'menace to society' ending a lot.
Oh, and there's the 'nameless terror' puzzle in Enchanter, too

Wow, lots of info here. Thanks folks!

The code to the safe is scrawled underneath in very tiny print. Oops, wait, you can't actually read that with your bare eyes, can you?

So use the telescope!

OneDude - I agree with you on both counts (that the game is awesome, and that the ending sequence is forced)
Kudos femo!

However, if you ask the author nicely (and/or donate significant amounts of cash), he may be willing to give you the source. Or google for juncsource or for RON; these are AGS adventures that have been released for your ripping needs

Or, you use the SetGUIPosition() command in your interface_click function.

check the on_event function, and in LEAVE_ROOM turn the GUI off.

If stopmusic() crashes, you could turn music off by setting its volume to zero.
