TEXT BUG

In the home of patience, you have to touch a face at some point and it dissapears. I have attached a screenshot of this. The text should read

The face starts laughing and disappears

it currently reads

The starts laughing and disappears

It is missing the face

I'd like to congratulate Stewe and the Redshift team for making this game. I've been playing the latest ('striptease'😉 version and haven't encountered any memory crashes as long as I stay above 3.1 MB. I'm still aimlessly wandering around the forests and the bartender in Decantres won't let me hire any more people because they all get killed straight away... but other than that, the game is great 😉 I wish you good sales and continued succes in the business :icon14:

MAJOR BUG:

I have just finished the game, killed sohl 😃 , went through the teleporter, and started watching the ending bit.

I get to the second screen of the ending where the guy is saying tell me what powers you want, then the game crashes with the following error

Application: Legacy
Reason code: KERN-EXEC
Reason number: 3

If I press space at the end of the second screen the game carries on fine, if I press ENTER then the game crashes?

I have tried rebooting, nothing running in background, sound is of and then on, but if I press enter it crashes.

UPDATE:
It seems to happen if you press a key before the text has been fully written on the screen, then the game crashes.

UPDATE 2:
It seems to be happening all the time now.... It just crashes at the end of the seond screen....It doesnt matter if pause is on or of

Hello!

SORRY, somehow I haven't received notifications... maybe forgot to answer around the release for a message, and that's why I haven't received anything.

So, the answers:

Imran:
the exp pack: we would like to release it later, because of the marketing strategy. Another title for Legacy Comm can have another "news item" on sites.
Sorry to say, but we haven't got too many sales 😞 Don't know why... maybe most people use the Comm for giving calls. Or the price?
But: as I have said, we started the whole gaming business on Communicator. It's a must have 😊

TheBruce:
thank you! I can quickly fix the problems, and update the versions. Because of the low number of sales 😞 I can send a new version to customers, without changing the version. Including the bug found by Imran (thanks!).

Imran: thanks! This text bug will be a quick update 😊

Laura: thank you! Probably you could start a new game, or reach the next city. Hirelings normally don't go to lower or higher level taverns. So:
- first city - level 1 hirelings
- 2nd: level 5
- 3rd: level 10
- expansion pack city: level 15

Imran: I plan to make an updated version on this weekend.

Thank you for your help!

Stewe

TheBruce,

I am working my way through the expansion pack currently, but it is asking me for a code, can I use the same one that you gave me for the main game or is it a new one?

Stewe

The bug that crashes the game right at the end, it may be corrupt pictures, I tried the game again today, and this time it didnt crash, I got to choose which power I wanted BUT the two pictures seemed to be corrupted, so it could be this that crashes the game.

Another thing, after I have choosen one of the two powers either commander or magic, what happens then?, the game just drops be back into sohls chamber and nothing happens? no new level no nothing? what is supposed to happen?

You're right! I found problems at the end.
However, I can't compile new version... sorry, it's because I'm working on the Symbian UIQ version, and the there are problems while compiling the 9200 version. I can do it in 2 days.

The truth is we planned to something *crazy* at the end. Later, we had to skip that thing. So now if you select the "weapon", then you get a cool weapon, otherwise a good magic staff. So... the text isn't 100% correct, these are gifts only.

Stewe

cool, thanks for your response, the weapon that we get is it power of orasare damage 17-41. It suddenly appeared in my inventory, also, does only the primary fighter get a wepaon what about the second fighter?

After I get the weapon, can I start the xpansion pack?
Also
what does the redshift key do?

thanks for your response 😊

Yes, we should display "You got a reward from Orasare" or something like this.
Now you can start the Exp Pack! I think your characters are around level 17. Am I right? In this case the Exp Pack won't be *so* hard for you, just simply hard.

Redshift key: it opens a door. Hint: a door in the first city. Another reward.

I didn't have time to make the corrected 92x0 version on the weekend... (faimly). Few days...

Hi Stewe

Hope the sales are increasing on this great game. You certainly deserve it. The review is almost finished. I'll complete it this week and send it to you for your comments.

I've finally arrived at the last level, but I'm also not able to finish the game. After the second screen where Mersant offers you the choice, it's crash with Kern-Exec 3. Had to kill the bad guy twice, because I forgot to save before I entered the teleport 🙄 . Anyway, I saved now before that and I've tried at least a dozen times, but every time crash. Hope you can find this one.

Best regards

Arjen

Hello!

Sales: hmm not so. I hope it'll be better when the new communicator is released (few months?).
Thank you for the review, really!

I'm sure I can fix the problems, in a few days. I try to be back on this weekend with the new one!

Thank you for your help!

Regards,
Stewe

Ah, yes, one more thing: could you please send me your saved game? The best would be for me is testing the end sequence with a "live" party, instead of emulating the finish.

Finally made it to the point where I can't get any further. Completed the quests in Decantres and killed N'Gora. Only O'Hara is left, everyone else is dead. I don't suppose you'll be giving out reg codes anymore Stewe?

Of course I give you the regcode, I never break my words. Please send me your IMEI via email or pm.
I could help you by resurrecting your characters... however, you don't need this. By entering the teleport after N'Gora, you will be in the 2nd city, where you can find 2 taverns. Find the advanced one (east side), so you can hire level 5 characters. Don't forget to keep the existing, but dead characters' items.

Regards,
Stewe

Oh yes, I have a new version, with some corrections (end sequence, map mistakes, ...). I'll upload it soon, in a few hours.

Thank you for your help!

Stewe

Hi Stewe

Really looking forward to the new version. Hope I can see the endgame now (is it also possible to create an end-game sequence like that in the editor?).

I'm also stuck in the expansion pack now. Can't descend into the pit of death and the teleport won't bring me anywhere (need to register - so that piece of protection works). The text in the registration screen could use some improvement. Now it reads:
"You can purchase registration code on..."
My suggestion
"You can purchase a registration code at (without the dots)"
Also, the three dots after "contact us at [email][email protected][/email] with your..." could be removed.

I did find another small error:
Sometimes my number 3 character (a battlemage) can't cast a spell (confused) but the focus remains on that character. That's just a little inconvenient, but ok. But after all three other characters have had their turn, I still have to press E to continue the battle. This doesn't happen all the time, so I think it's a hard thing to fix.
It happens to me most of the time when there's also an attacker behind me, but when I turn around, I can't hit that attacker anymore (everybody has had their turn), and I have to press E to have em hit me.

One question: what does it mean if in the status screen the numbers are displayed in blue?
For example my battlemage Ketiara, level 15, has Str: 9, Dex: 13, End: 23, Int: 40, also SP: 270/270, where the numbers after End and Int are in blue and the second 270 is blue as well). I'd like this add this tidbit of info in the review as well.

Best regards

Arjen

Hello!

I tried to compile the new version, however I have some problems. It's not so bad, because I can apply some modifications tomorrow, based on your comments!

I'll be back tomorrow, but the answers:
- editor, end-game: no 😞 Lack of pictures, lack of support in uploading new pictures. Even the Official Expansion Pack has only dialog-based end sequence.
- exp pack register: I have sent it to you via pm.
I will apply the changes tomorrow!
- spell, confuse: I wasn't able to solve this... architectural limits. When a message blocks the attack/cast, then I can't move the selection easily to the next character.
For example: what if the mage is the last one, you try to cast a spell, it fails because of the confusion: in this case I should automatically finish the turn! That's what I can't do 😊
- Blue numbers: they're modified by a spell, or magic item. If your weapon has "+4 strength" modifier, then the strength value will be higher of course (by 4) and will be blue.

Thank you for your help!

Stewe

Hi Stewe

Thanks for all your help. One more question: I tried to load this mission pack into the editor, but it causes the editor to crash on my machine. After that I won't start anymore and I need to reboot my machine in order to get it working again. Do you know what's wrong?

Thanks in advance

Best regards

Arjen

Yeah, sorry for this.
That's because I wasn't able to release a bit newer Editor... the world format is different (just some bytes).
I can release a newer Editor in a week.

Regards,
Stewe

Hi Stewe

Is it possible you could give me access to the beta editor forum on pdarcade, I have played the game + mission pack to death now lol and want to experiment with the editor, my username is the same on pdarcade as this one, cheers!

Thanks, I just pm:ed you.

I'll be fine I think because I still have a spell left to resurrect one dead party member. I haven't done it yet because I wanted to see if I really need to. Maybe I can keep that ace in my sleeve for further use 😉

Hello!

Imran: I have set the permission, now you can see the Editor forum in pdarcade's main forum list. Welcome on board 😊

Laura: I have sent the regcode, thank you for your help!
I just thought you like your current (but dead) characters, so I can help you by resurrecting them. Sorry to say, but it's just a "bit" in the saved game (a bit ironic).

I'm uploading the new 92xx version! Will be back soon.

Stewe

Hi Stewe

Endgame now works perfectly. Got the choice of two weapons and saved the game. Didn't check out the registration screen yet, but I'll do that later and let you know.

But, unfortunately, new bug: in dialogs with NPC's the text is one line too long. It looks like you're displaying one line more than in the previous version. This last line is completely visible, but if there's a continue button, it displays over the last line of text, making the text unreadable. Maybe it's an idea to only use the last display line if it is also the last line of text and otherwise don't use the last line and display the rest of the text on the next page(s).

Best regards

Arjen

When you get the quest to return all four magic statues to orasare, the text reads

Get back all four statue for.....

it should read

Get back all four statues for....

just missing an s

Also

When you enter the ancient tower storey, the full text is not displayed on the left hand map, all you see is ancient tower stor

Thank You!

I'm correcting the Legacy world.

npc's text, +1 line: you got it 😊 Don't know how and why, this problem wasn't in prev versions, I think.

Stewe

Stewe,

Quick question. On your homepage www.redshift.hu, you have an expansion pack legacy:Revenge. Can we commy users download and play this expansion or is it just for ppc and palm users?

Well stewe, I have finished the expansion pack, it seems to be rock solid, no major bugs or glitches that I could find, apart from a couple of txt ones and the one TheBruce found.

I hope you have good sales with the expansion pack
Cant wait for the next official expansion pack fro you guys 😃
