Can anyone beat NSW for stringent laws? Hell, the road toll justifies them, but if the police checked licences I might consider driving legally.

It's changed heaps since i got my licence

Pass driving test in automatic get P's for 1 year, can drive a manual during that time. after that year you have a full licence.

I've got a gold licence these days.

All it has in the manual is

Shakes the screen to simulate, for example, an earthquake. AMOUNT is how much the screen shakes: 1 is hardly anything, and 25 is a lot.
Example:

ShakeScreen(5);

will shake the screen a little.

But often there is stuff in the manual in strange places as far as my logic goes.

I assume it can't be done seeing as no one has come up with anything

edit: shakescreen goes for the same amount of time whether it shakes alot or a little, I guess it's not a major issue for anyone but I'm sure it's not to hard to implement another property that allows you to shake the screen for 1 second or 10 seconds

I think a lot of laws are too harsh.

Obviously Murder, Rape should be punished accordingly (gaol for a long time - no death penalty, that just makes the government bigger murderers)

thievery and lesser assults and major drug dealing are the next tier down.

but what I find disturbing in most countries on how we deal with drug addicts, there is no easy answer, but throwing them in gaol doesn't rehabilitate them, it's probably easier to get drugs in gaol.

I say legalise all drugs, have them prescription based, it will still be abused, but at least then people don't have there basic human rights taken away.

Eventually people will make there own choices, and everyone will be happy with less thievery, rape and murder.


It's no different to old age, we give them drugs to make them happy, you don't hear much about rape and murder from the elderly. I rest my case.

Happy birthday Magintz,

don't hit those pedestrians, unless they deserve it

Thanks AJA, I even remember looking on that page in the manual and still didn't see that line.

Lucas Film made MI
begat Lucas Arts Entertainment Company
begat Lucas Arts, a Lucas Film ltd company.


Same company, cosmetic changes to names.

I'm not sure why it was brought up.

But also Las, as I mentioned it was already
Lucas Arts Entertainment Company a Lucas Film ltd company.

They've just dropped the EC

But To be honest I couldn't give a flying fuck through a rolling donut

Shit, 1 inch into your head is pretty deep, where abouts cause that would be through your skull unless it was your cheek in which case it would have cut through into your mouth. Or the back of the head just above the neck.

of course you could be slightly exaggerating, but OUCH!!!

That's a bit harsh Sasha, every country has their days of remembering, although there is also Rememberance day in November, 11/11 at 11am, I always thought it should be at 11:11am (even 11secs to be precise) if they wanted all the 11's.

It's a public holiday, yay, no work, a 3 day week since easter was last weekend. so we had a 4 day weekend Followed by a 3 day weekend, but I guess it is school holidays anyway so school and some uni students probably had 2 weeks holiday anyway, atleast in NSW.

My parents have gone to Sprinkle my mum's Uncle's ashes in Sydney harbour, he was in WW2, he was also a POW somewhere, I can't remember the story, I didn't really know him that well. He died last year at home.

Is there a way to remove a messagebox after a certain amount of time like you can do with speech, without clicking the mouse or pressing a key?

I've looked in the manual in the Text display / Speech functions
and it doesn't seem to show an option for this.

I'm sure someone knows a script for this simple seeming thing

EDIT: OK AJA helped with the above but does anyone know if below is possible?

EDIT:
Also is it possible to use the shakescreen function while the message box is on the screen.

Also with shakescreen, I know you can change the amount of shake but is there a way to adjust the length of time eg. a really short shake like 2 or 3 shakes

I just watched the end credits of CMI and I wasn't wrong when I said it was LLC, it is "LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC"

So LEC was just short for "LEC LLC"

It's just a division of a company that figured it needed a name change, or other people are involved or both.

I don't really care it doesn't change much.



Welcome back Yahtzee if it is really you, not that you know me.

And if it's someone trying to make a lame joke, just give it the fuck up, not a smart move, and if so don't reveal who you are, just give up quietly.

You can do that in some sierra games too, I can't remeber how but if you type in a word in Hero's Quest 1 (QG1) and QG2 you can enter debug mode, probably other games too.

I think they left them in on purpose just for fun and to see if anyone would accidently type it in

edit: in HQ1 type "razzle dazzle root beer"

then you can use:

RESULT                          CHEAT CODE  
Add up to 999 in money [Alt] + B
Edit single skill [Note 1] [Alt] + K
Edit inventory items [Note 2] [Alt] + I
Teleport to specific location and time [Alt] + T
List sprites [Alt] + S
Ego status [Alt] + E
Display background and foreground objects [Alt] + P
Display memory usage [Alt] + M
Exit cheat mode [Alt] + Z
Exit cheat mode [Alt] + X

I found it here with google http://www.cheatcc.com/pc/questforglory.html

It also gives the numbers for all the skills and inventory items to play around with.

I've noticed in a few older games it has LucasArts LLC

which is what you just mentioned, I think in GF and CMI it's called that already so it can't be that new.

you're setting object 1 view and animating object 0, that could be the problem

I figured It makes logical sense for the ways the cds are layed out, cause you are in Rubacava in year 2 and 4 so it makes sense that the graphics and code and stuff are on the same cd, saves space for the 1.3GB.

but who knows, there could be many versions

remixor, so close, what other thing could you do to the alien

hey ratracer, I finally got round to playing the game, I've only just started.

Looks pretty good, haven't got very far yet, not even the elevator, and I noticed there is a newer version with less bugs, I d/l it when it first came out but forgot about it until now.

I'm not d/l the newer version until next month cause I've got to spare my precious bandwidth, but is it possible to finish without the new version?

very bizzare game,

I guess I should play again for some different dialog choices

Great game, I love it.

Just played and finished it in about 20mins,

I guess you must have fixed the intro cause it worked for me, I did get 1 error right at the end though,

Spoiler

just at the end when she shows her tits, there is a dialog box, when you click to remove it the game crashes and gives an error  in Room 6 Line 23

I guess there is probably nothing after that, at least I got to see her tits

[close]

I bought a copy a month or so ago and I didn't have the problems you mentioned I use an AMD 1.33GHtz GF2MX200 but I'm not sure which version of the game I've got.

I did use both discs, year 1&3 on A and 2&4 on B

That seems strange that you only used disc A seeing as on my discs the cutscenes are divided between the 2 unless you installed more stuff onto your machine.

Also I'd never played it before as it was released when I was in my early 20's and out of the loop of games passed 1993

and it ends up being one of those games that I'm am so greatful to have played, I'm glad I waited this long to play it, I experienced the pleasure of it.

But now I'm like everybody else, I've played it and know the story and puzzles, therefore can't get the 1st playthrough experience ever again,

sometimes amnesia would be a good thing.

True story, we have/had a rabbit that lived in the backyard, a pet but it wasn't in a cage.

It dissappeared about a week ago.

I found out it was the Easter Bunny.

Well that's what I thought untill I could smell something off in the backyard. It had crawled under the deck and died.

Then I was thinking this is the second coming but on the 3rd day he didn't rise.

So in the end it was just an ordinary rabbit, died peacefully at old age, RIP

Happy Easter Monday
