Well before we had a MIDI -> Adlib conversion, currently we use the real Adlib tracks if Adlib is selected, but MIDI is atm broken.

Sorry, I was using an old build, because the last time I was here I don't think the sound was working yet.

Some Difficulties

Post by Ocellot »

Hello, I noticed that there was a beta test for the old Kyrandia 1 game, and seeing as I have all 3 on Cd, I though I would help as much as I could to work some of the bugs out. But I find that I can't even start the game at all. Yes, I d/l the data file along with the SVN snapshot, but when I searched the dirctories on the cd, it says that no game was found in the directory. I even tried installing the game and useing the program to search those directories, and still it could not locate the game. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Thanks Clem, that helped alot. The sound works fine and everthing. That game runs pretty smooth, although at time it does speed up during certain scenes near the end.

I can't get past the birthstones puzzle, whatever I do, the game only gives me the same incorrect set of stones. Whenever I consume a stone, the exact same stone respawns somewhere else.
The rubys on the ruby tree also fail to regenerate for me.
The only way I could get past that puzzle was ordering up a Topaz with debug mode.

Odd, I came through there a few days ago and it worked (saved, then reloaded after every incorrect stone though) - might be a shortcoming in the original game scripts

the way I see it there some possibilities to render the game uncompleteable:
- fly to the castle as a unicorn without the key
- consume all (both?) apples or I think you can lose them by throwing them into the cauldron
- somehow destroy all rubies/tulips/blueberries
- possibly this aforementioned gem behaviour

"incorrect" set of stones? It's random every game FYI. Also if a gem is incorrect it get's spawned at anther place again, also one problem is that sometimes you need to walk a bit around so different stones get 'spawned' in the map (that happens only randomly too, I had some problems too then I just run straight through the game last time) Though that's all a problem of the original game.

Mirror

Post by Malohkan »

If someone could be so kind as to email the kyra.dat file to me at Malohkan [at] gamelizard [dot] com I'd be happy to set up a mirror right away on my site and post the link back here. I'm going out of town for about a week this evening so I'm willing to go out of my way to have this with me on my trip :)
