Need Help with Accessing Debugging in KQ3

I am experiencing some odd glitch involving the conversations for the mice in the hold of the pirate ship. After reporting that the mice conversations were simply not triggering, a developer looked into it and posted this message on my ticket: Okay, there are 5 mice dialogs available and they are ch...

KQ2 Question I Don't Know if Anyone Can Answer (but It Would be Nice if Someone Could)

When playing King's Quest 2, something always bugs me (mildly). According to both Sierra's hint book and the friend who introduced me to the game long ago, Dracula is supposed to appear and attack you at some point(s) in his castle (perhaps randomly), and your only protection is to wear the silver c...

Re: Slowing Down AGI?

Guess I'd better report it as an effective bug, then.

Slowing Down AGI?

I'm playing KQ3 and the introduction goes by quite fast on modern computer, even on ScummVM. (This is a little exacerbated by the fact that I enjoy reading the games' dialogue text out loud, when I am alone in the room.) Is there a way to slow ScummVM down?

Re: Dial Not Spinning All the Way Around in Squid Stone Runes Puzzle in QfG4-a Bug?

I would like to make a suggestion on the ticket (officially marked by sluicebox as "wontfix") I opened that's now been closed. Is there a way I can do that? If not, is there another way I can make a suggestion about the website? (Remember, I'm still new here.)

Re: Kings Quest 7 (VII) cant enlarge Troll King at the end of Chapter 4: Will the Real Troll King Please Stand Up?

I realize I'm necroing a very old thread, but I know what the "T" and "F" letter settings on the wand mean: It's not "true" and "false." They refer to the kind of creature the wand can currently affect. "T" stands for "troll," which is why ...

Dial Not Spinning All the Way Around in Squid Stone Runes Puzzle in QfG4-a Bug?

I'm having the situation where the dial won't spin all the way around between the two "Os" in the squid stone runes puzzle in Quest for Glory IV. This means I can't spell "Avoozl." ScummVM mentions a bug regarding this in the SCI bugs log but says it was fixed. I'm not quite sure...

Re: Is QfG3 and 4 compatible with Ashlancer's patches?

Well, ordinarily I would take your advice about third party patches, but this particular patch restores a bunch of features to the game for which the code was present when published but had not been properly implemented so you never saw it in the game. (It seems Sierra gave up supporting the game al...

Re: Is QfG3 and 4 compatible with Ashlancer's patches?

Sorry. This was not really an attempt to advertise the patch (though I suppose in a certain sense it may be). The reason I posted so much text from the readme was that I consider this patch as well as ScummVM to greatly add to the quality of QFG4 and would like them to work together as well as possi...

Re: Is QfG3 and 4 compatible with Ashlancer's patches?

This is unfortunate. Ashlancer's patches introduce many important fixes and restores additional features to Quest for Glory 3 and 4. I've gotten through QfG3 using his patch without ScummVM so I can probably do that again. However, QfG4 still has too many game breaking bugs even with his patch. It'd...

Is QfG3 and 4 compatible with Ashlancer's patches?

I am trying to play Quest for Glory IV (CD version) with ScummVM and Ashlancer's fan patch together for the first time. I am noticing a large number of old bugs that I had believed had been fixed seem to be recurring. For example, the incorrect dialogue when giving flowers to the Rusalka bug and, ev...

Re: Peeping Tom Scene in Camelot

Okay. So I have to respond to my own post. As I'm sure many here were thinking, you just have to reenter the screen enough repeatedly until the daughter appears. The chances of her appearing aren't actually all that small.

(I sometimes have a tendency to post prematurely.)

Forum Question: Where to Post

Is it okay to ask general gameplay questions on this Help and Support forum that aren't technical ScummVM questions? (Of course, sometimes it's hard to tell.) Or should
those go in General Discussion?

Peeping Tom Scene in Camelot

I don't know if this is the best forum to post this in, but it is often so frustrating trying to get my questions answered on GOG's forums these days: (This is a gameplay question, rather than a technical question about ScummVM, so I'm posting it here rather than in Help and Support) When playing ga...
