Only the white pawn can use the melted wax on the fish+string. Note the wax hardens again if you drop it into the water.

Mac,

You'll need to pass the fish and wax up to the white pawn. Go to the desert as white pawn, (right of house) to melt the wax.

I don't think AGS stores mergedintobackground data, between room calls, also worthy of note is it doesn't store it in save games either. As far as I know that is.

Right click the desktop icon and select properties, Set the "Start In:" Box to the games directory path.

One of the more recent versions lets you collect a second clean piece of cotton but there is no score for doing so. So you can reenter the kennel without putting dirty cotton in ears,

Inevitable but still a bit freaky this morning. All those downloads and only 4 comments? Has the 'devil got your tongues'?

calacver, Thanks, this sure ain't an 'easy listening' adventure.
lakerz, Actually only 2 months to make this game and hand is nearly better now.
julie, Thank you, next game is going to be a bit easier, I promise.

Here's my solution Backdrop Demo (2.71)
Use an object as the backdrop with walk behinds to make it appear behind everything. Make the player character 100% transparent then add a dummy (non-clickable) character that is (in repeatedly_execute_always()) constantly updated with the player position, view, frame and loop etc. This dummy player removes the frame stutter from the actual player, in effect it will lag behind the invisible player by 1 frame but this is usually un-noticeable and removes all frame stutter problems. Interactions will still work on the player character even though you can't actually see it.

Here's my photoshop procedure for creating masks.
Set swatches pane to Windows, bottom right colour (white) is transparent then moving from right to left, bottom to top, colours correspond to mask slots. To export the mask, Image->Mode->Indexed color. Select Palette -> System(Windows), Matte -> none, Dither ->None. Then save as a .tga. Import mask into AGS.

This does start to lose some slots after 7 or so different mask colours but is useable.

Joyce's advice sounds good, I would point out that playing the latest version, will not correct bugs that are inherent in your save games, (in this case the, non-fatal, fish memory), only stop them happening again.

p.s. I don't snore.

Nodrighal,

If I remember correctly the bug was caused by looking at the Tarot cards, so don't look at them in the princes room and it should work. And to be on the safe side, walk towards the dead goat before getting the card.

Nodrighal,

Did the screen go all red when she picked up the card, if so you can walk up the stairs. There was a bug here once but am sure I've fixed it once.

She should only get dizzy the first time you make it.

Hi all,
Well much as I enjoy seeing you all suffer in my game Fliegemich has, as promised, written a walkthrough. Though on one level I don't really approve of walkthroughs, I think the alternative of having 45 pages of spoilers to plough through is just unreasonable, and so think it justifies itself.
