RPG sequel question

Yes its true that Sierra once was a great game maker. I was a big fan of the Police Quest SWAT series myself. Now days they only make hunting and fishing sims. Which sucks.



P.S. I mainly only said that cause I love Blizzard.

"Did you piss some mods off or something?"

No, actually I got along with the mods really well, Expecially Guque. I don\'t know all of the little details, but lets just say one flamer\'s pathetic lies caused one of the best mods you\'ll ever find to get unjustly fired. To support him, his GF who modded the QFG5 channel quit.. and that started the exodus of Mods and users. I left to show my support of two of the best mods I\'ve ever met. That was kinda the second nail in the coffin for me. To think that someone from Sierra would just up and fire an employee who\'s given so much sooo them for so little without even really looking into the situation.

BTW: It\'d be best that you didn\'t mention this over at the QFG5 forum. There\'s still a lot of anger and confusion over the matter, and Ugarte\'s doing his best to keep things calm for the newbies.

As far as the Laibon is concerned, if get too frustrated then just Email me your saved game and I\'ll try to get you past. I may have a different version with different patches than what you\'ve got. Heh, if you think this bad.. just wait until you run across Error52 and the "Tanya" bug in QFG4.

AH!
Was the Tanya bug the one where the game would kcik you out or stall everytime you went in her room?
I got that before.
I just turned the detail ALL the way down and that solved it.
Or is there a different bug?
You are right, I havent seen a good sierra action game in a long time.

Naw, the Tanya bug I\'m talking about is a lot more frustrating. In the first three or four days of the game you HAVE to see the Domovi at the inn and then help him. If you don\'t, then the Domovi won\'t show up and tell you where Tanya\'s doll is. If you can\'t get the doll, you can\'t save Tanya and progress through the game. Usually your character will be pretty built up by the time you have to rescue Tanya (13 to 23 game days average). So you end up having to start all over again from the beginning if you want to beat the game.

Ah, yes.
I have encountered that bug.
It did suck.
All you have to do to see the Domovi is too go downstairs at night correct?

Well, you have to see him and help him out. Only after you free the Domovi in the Monastary will you be able to get the doll and save Tanya.

BTW: Did you manage to get into the Laibon\'s hut yet? If your a Paladin, remember to use a slowdown utility or else you\'ll loose honor for making him ask you "Why are you here" so much. If you do loose honor, an easy way to restore it is to raise it just high enough to get the healing ability. Then buy a whole bunch of stamina pills from Salim. Later, if you save the baby meerbat you click like crazy on him with your healing ability, taking stamina pills as you need them. That should skyrocket your honor in only a few moments. There\'s also a trick like that in QFG4 with the Rusulki that can maxx out your honor in just a few moments.

Hey.
Yeah I remember that.
Part 5 is one of my favorite ones.
That one and part 1.
Another easy way to get your honor up is to just give the boy in the bazaar money,
and you can do that throughout the game.
Though it gets costly.

I started over again.
Youll never guess what happened this time.
So i finished this battle with a Rex, so I saved my game(I usually only have one save game I just copy over,Big mistake), and when I went to leave the field my character started walking into the sky, then it booted me into windows, and it does that everytime I reload and so-forth, so I just started over.

Yeah, but I usually give him money because that\'s what my characters would do. (Except for my latest character.. he\'ll steal the beggars money) Giving him Royals will raise your honor faster than giving Commons, but you can also spend more commons before going broke.. so that\'s acutally the better way.

Sounds to me like you\'ve been unlucky with game bugs. I\'ve only walked into the sky and crashed the game like twice in the 10 years I\'ve had it. (I still can\'t believe it\'s acutally that old already) Heh, I may actually finish the series before you do. Did ya get a chance to pick up QFG5 yet?

Nah.
Ive been low on cash.
I am planning on it though.
Just so I can finish off the series which I started 4 years ago.
Yeah.
So Im doing the Initiation now, and its the spear throwing part, and when Yesufa throws the spear, it boots me out to windows.
Do I need to get that "Moslo" program or whatever.
If so, where can I get it?

Yeah, that\'s probably the solution to a lot of your problems. Mo\'Slo is popular, but I like CPUKiller better. It\'s really easy to use and seems to be a lot more effective. When I ran Mo\'Slo, it was almost as if it were just stopping and starting the processor.. which didn\'t work because in those few milliseconds when it did run, it let my computer run too fast and made the gameplay very choppy. CPUKiller, on the other hand, takes control of your processor and makes the resource occupancy grow enough to slow it down, and the gameplay is still reletively smooth.

Yeah.
CPUKiller didnt work, and I put it at a lot slowing down my computer.
It still boots out.
I keep getting Error 4.
Im thinking about just sending you my save game.
Will that work.
I thought you needed my spool for that to work.
Any other ideas?

ok.
It cool, I finally got it to work.
I had to turn it up to 90%.
One more question.
Now I\'m on part 5.
I bought this game a LONG time ago,
and I lost the book,
Could you post the ingredients for all the codes from the book you need for doctor cranium?
I need:

       Gargoil
       Quixoat
       Hintline

It would be really helpfel because as I said, I lost the book.
Thanks
Part 5 is fun

If you bought the Anthology, then there should be a file on the CD somewhere that has all the copyprotect codes in it. It\'s labeled "Manuals", and you\'ll probably have to install Adobe Acrobat to read them since they\'re all in PDF form I believe. At least, that\'s the way it is on my CD version of QFG4.

I\'d pop in my cd and look them up for you, but I\'m feeling lazy right now and don\'t wanna piss with that adobe crap. Luckily for you, I also have the DOS version and the hardcopy manual that goes with it. (Why Sierra ever stopped printing manuals, I\'ll never know.)

Gargoil = Pizza, Water, Water, Earth, Earth
Quixoat = Water, Air, Fire, Pizza, Air
Hintline = Earth, Air, Pizza, Air, Earth

Now I\'m not going to be anal and accuse you of downloading the game, or just suggest you send away for another copy of the manual. I\'ve been stuck in your position before, and I know how much it sucks. The way I see it, IF you did download the games.. then that\'s acceptable since you probably never would have blown 40 bucks on old games you already bought once. I would ask that IF you did download them, then please buy a copy since that is the only way to tell Sierra and the rest of the gaming community that you enjoy adventures and would like them to continue making them.

SonyFan,
Your the man.
Nah, I did buy it.
Funny thing is , is that I cant remember buying it.
I just Know I did.
It has the best game soundtrack ever with it,
and on the soundtrack is the QFG5 demo.
See, I would have had to have bought it to know that, otherwise I would think its on the Normal CD.
My version of the anthology came with a booklet.
I just lost it.
I think my copy of the anthology is really old.
Cause I didnt see a manual section, cause I looked just in case.
Thanks again.
P.S. That soundtrack IS absolutely beautiful.

"Im thinking about just sending you my save game.
Will that work. I thought you needed my spool for that to work."

Well I guess I don\'t really have to say this since you\'ve already gotten past the problem, but if you have any more troubles then yeah, go ahead and send it to me. The only problem would be that QFG4 Dos and QFG4 Windows save games aren\'t compatable. In order to get all the multimedia in there, Corey had to teak the game engine and couldn\'t get the two versions compatable by the shipping date.

Now I have both the Windows and Dos versions of QFG4, so any saved game you send me will work fine. Just remember to save your game BEFORE going into the scenes that are the problem areas. (I.E. The Chernovy in the swamp) I can\'t help you if you\'ve saved just before doing the action that crashes the game.
