I'm having trouble with the

Spoiler

box puzzle. I have the astronomy book but I am still having trouble getting all the pegs in the right holes. Are you supposed to use all the pegs or just some of them?

I would appreciate any hints.

Thanks,
Michael

Hello Michael....good timing...I just finished a walk-through of the game...

Here is the link...

Wow what a game!!! Just finished. Thank you amanta4ray

You are very welcome...I'm glad you liked it!!

I have the following:

Spoiler

Necklace picture, two set of beads, make-up, scroll, golden chain

Spoiler

How to win card game against guard? It's seems to random right? If not then what the trick?[/hide}

[close]

Spoiler

Looks like you are missing the flower for the necklace...have you gone to the oasis yet?? It's on the right side, past the tent.  Also, make sure you have the cooking board from the supply tent.
      Yes, the card game is random...I set it up, so that the player has a chance. But if you haven't won after twelve games, the guard will give you the glasses as a consolation prize.

Spoiler

Did you buy anything in the museum gift store?  If not...you need to locate a picture in your journal that's on one of the postcards.  To do that you will need to use your magnifying lens.

[close]

Can you please elaborate?

Spoiler

I used the magnifying glass on the postcards ("I don't want to damage the merchandise") and on the pictures in the journal ("I don't see anything special in this picture") and nothing happened. Where am I supposed to be using the magnifying glass to solve this?

Spoiler

You need to use the magnifying lens on the picture of the Eye of Horus in the copies/journal (page 23).

[close]

That is VERY clever! Thanks for the tip. I don't think I would ever have noticed that but great puzzle!

Spoiler

Also, make sure that you have played and won the card game with the guard in the tent.

[close]

Thanks for that. That allowed me to continue with the second puzzle as well. Where was the hint to the user to use the item you are referring to in this specific room?

Spoiler

You gave the solution to the locket puzzle. I actually did not realize that I could open it because I didn't understand the hint in the journal so I assumed the rest of the hint would come later in the game. Now I do not have access to the locket in my inventory. Will I be able to open it later in the game or will I be stuck because I didn't do it in order?

[close]

Lastly, do you mind if I send you a private question/concern I have about the game?

Thanks again

SHADOW

I'm glad you liked the puzzle, I keep trying to come up with new ones, though I feel like I'm starting to run dry.

Spoiler

Originally, I had both the scroll and the tiles together, but then decided to split them up because of needing to go into the guards locker.   If you are talking about the red glasses...the guard mentions that his entourage found them near the temple that you will be going to.

[close]

The pendant puzzle can be done by either Allyson or Kyle...I set it up so there wasn't any dead ends.

I don't mind at all if you send me a message....all feedback is good and any concerns you have, can only make the game better.

After going to the museum,

looking at map, picking up chart and looking round temple

[close]

I can't get Kyle to do anything???

Spoiler

Did you buy anything in the museum gift store?  If not...you need to locate a picture in your journal that's on one of the postcards.  To do that you will need to use your magnifying lens.

I managed completing puzzle but I'm stuck:

Spoiler

Made a search (internet) according found name but I get note museum would know, made search for Egypt and bought Egypt map from offer supplies, what else I need doing?

[close]

I am not exactly sure what items you have up to this point, but I will try to help....

Spoiler

In the paper supply place, you need to get the dummy book, the map and make copies of the journal (just click on machine). Did you talk to the curator of the Egyptian museum yet? Also, try searching for valley of fire...

[close]

Thank you amanta4ray, the multi turning finally did the trick. But how did you expect it to be worked out simply from

Spoiler

the opening date

[close]

although, I guess, some others did it.

Since the date was so easy to find, I did not want just a simple turn to this number, turn to that number...so I made it just like the directions from a combo lock I had.  I figured since everyone has used them at one time or another (school for example) people would know how to open it.  I will consider making that one a little easier or at least put an instruction on how to turn it.

Once again thank amanta4ray,

For next:

Spoiler

I know it has something to do with series of letters from cheat from but text box fit only two letters, how I can continue at this point? I hope this a bug?

[close]

And you are very welcome....I don't mind helping at all...

Spoiler

Each picture is one letter of the Egyptian alphabet...just type in the correct letter and hit enter...it will automatically go to the next one in the sequence.

[close]

Thanks amanta4ray.

How to open locket:

Spoiler

I found locket code but I'm not sure what it represents:

Spoiler

1RR, 3LB, 2LR, RA, 1RB and Alone

[close]

What the represents so I properly unlock locket

[close]

Spoiler

This code is the buttons on the front of the pendant... 1RR = first right red
                                                                                      3LB = third left blue
                                                                                      2LR = second left red
                                                                                      RA  = right aqua
                                                                                    alone = the single red one above the aqua

                                                   First is at the top of the wing going down to the last at the body

[close]

I'm finally stuck.

Spoiler

I'm in the temple of Set-en-et. I put the five picture boxes into the slots on the altar but I don't see any key to which picture has to show on each box. As well, I don't know how to do the tile puzzle on the other altar. I got the tile from the scorpion (I assume it's related?) but I don't see a key anywhere showing what tiles go where. If these two puzzles are related in that you have to do one to solve the other then please just provide a hint for one and I'll solve the other.

[close]

Thank you

SHADOW

Spoiler

The two puzzles are somewhat related in that you have to do the tile one first in order to open the door.  The answer to that one can be found on a scroll in the guard's locker back at camp.  Also, make sure that you have played and won the card game with the guard in the tent.

[close]

Still not working!!!

For this puzzle, I followed the instructions for a combination lock that I had.....

Spoiler

click the right hand arrow until you get to the first number, then still using the right arrow, go past that number three times, then land on it...then click the left arrow until you get to the second number, go past that once then land on it...click the right arrow until you get to the last number

[close]

Spoiler....

Spoiler

if you are still having problems....click the right arrow 156 times, then the left arrow 66 times, then the right arrow 20 times....that should do it.

[close]

I am completely stumped...

Spoiler

I have the letter from the brooch and the box from the fountain but can't figure out the puzzle. Is there another hint or clue that I'm missing?

[close]

Spoiler

There's a book from Allyson's livingroom shelves that should help.

[close]

Woa, no wonders I had much problem locating that think shadow1000

Right now I have followings:

Spoiler

Screw driver, lemonade (with alcohol), tan lotion, compact lenses

[close]

Don't how to do following in memorial park:

Spoiler

dealing with guard, pigeon and how to repair electric guitar

[close]

Spoiler

there's nothing to do with the pigeon....you can't deal with the guard until after you have fixed the guitar and given it back...to do that you still need an item that is found back at Allyson's house in the bathroom.

[close]

I encountered a spelling error that can interfere with game play.

SHADOW

Good catch...even my three beta-testers didn't notice that one!!!

I did fix that and uploaded new...many thanks!!

Thanks everyone for the positive comments....I really appreciate it.  As far as any spelling errors and such, I tried to get them all, but you know how that goes.

I also have it listed in the games section under full-length games....

[Download Links:]

Hello again...it's been many, many years since I finished The Treasured Medallion, but I have been lurking around the forums while I slowly worked on other games.  I am pleased to announce that my second game, Echoes of the Past, is now completed and available for downloading pleasure....enjoy!!

Allyson Tremonte loves the world of antiques, but when she restores an old brooch, something more intriguing catches her eye....a letter from the famous explorer Gerard DuPontneuf. And when the temptation is just too great to ignore, she goes on a hunt to locate a journal that could lead to some of the greatest archaeological finds in history. Little did she know that this adventure would take her and her partner to Egypt on a quest to find the fabled Book of Thoth... a book that will give the possessor unbelievable powers. But will Allyson be able to recover one of Egypt's long lost relics or will there be others that will stop at nothing to get it? Find out in...Echoes of the Past

Walk-through:

The easiest way to do this would be to create a gui and add a label to it.  In the text of the label add @OVERHOTSPOT@. This will put text over every hotspot, character and object in the game. 

Make sure to set your gui color to 0 and border color to 0 (this will make it invisible, but the words will still show on the label.)

          Hope this helps....

Works wonders for me!!

I don't know if there is a better way to do it but I used the following script to change my fonts.

Game.NormalFont = eFontFont1; (or whichever font you want) changes Display text
   
Game.SpeechFont=eFontFont8; (or whichever font you want) changes text for speech

Just put them in the global script under
function game_start()   


Also, check if your fonts have an outline on them.  That would make them look blacker than usual.
