Re: QFG3 Mod

I figured as much....

It seems like there should be some sort of tools that would allow you to go from a disassembly => higher level language...

I'm starting to wonder if this needs to be a complete remake, rather than a mod....

Re: QFG3 Mod

After getting ahold of SCI Viewer, and peering into the assets of QFG3, I noticed that the scripts appear to be assembly....

Would I be correct in assuming that they were probably C/C++, but I'm looking at a disassembly of a binary?

QFG3 Mod

Soo.... more for brainstorming/sheer heck of it....

What are some areas of QFG3 that could be improved with a mod?

The only issue that's coming to mind at the moment is enabling everyone to hit 500 points. There are probably others, but nothing's coming to mind XD

Re: Quest for Glory V de-make?

Soo..... is there any easy way to get a game script for QFGV? I think that would be the easiest way to start a reinterpretation of the game, and at least allow some sort of design plan to be drafted from the script, hopefully giving you enough definition and direction so the construction and coding ...

Re: Quest for Glory V de-make?

As I recall, QfG5 v1.0 had import problems. If you patch to v1.2, you shouldn't have any missing spells even without a pure Wizard. That could have been it.... I just got QFG5 working on Win7 shortly.... I'll check back in after i've gotten my fighter through the series and into the game to see wha...

Re: Quest for Glory V de-make?

QFG5 does have Frost Bite and it's one of the most broken spells in the game. Instead of a projectile that explodes in a blast of cold on impact (like in QFG4), it creates a cone of frozen air. A bit like a sub-zero flame thrower and every bit as nasty. If you lost it, maybe your character didn't i...

Re: Quest for Glory V de-make?

On import, QFG5 should not shear spells. After starting the series with a fighter in QFG1, and coming into QFG5 with a paladin/wizard, and then finding out I had lost spells... Not fun, and very frustrating, because the importer just trivialized some of your effort in previous games. What spells in...

Re: Quest for Glory V de-make?

My thoughts on this topic.... Keep in mind that I do like the game... The overall story of QFGV was decent.... and would have been great for the series.... there's several issues that mar the game... For starters, in a 3D environment, the camera NEEDS to follow the character. That technical flaw mea...

Re: Original Hero's Quest II logo design

Perhaps they did, but I would doubt it. With so many of the quest series, and also a lot more games out there at the time, I could see QfG easily getting eclipsed by something else. That and shiftings within Sierra at the time probably axed a good many qualities that made the Sierra we remember what...

Re: How do I train my mage to be good in QfG3?

The Keapon game was difficulty, until I figured out that it's all about the angles.... try turning the grid on, and using rotation, as it lets you start to see how the crystals will bounce the force bolt around. I attached a file that adds labels to the middle button row, which with the descriptions...

Re: The X-Ray goggles in there? :p

Since DOSBox is one of the programs from the Unix/Linux side of things, you'll have to read through the documentation that came with it. The CPU/framerate adjustments have been in there for at least 2-3 years now (I remember using them a long time ago in a land far, far away **starts Star Wars**)(th...

I am a fan of QG3 as well. I just liked the scale of the story.. it's more of various groups than just the hero's judgement alone. I am quite surprised to find so many people who liked it here..finally! Everywhere I go, people say QG3 sucks.. but truly no one can appreciate the story.. After playin...

Re: Speech

Truthfully, I've never really understood the validity of that argument, particularly when you have the option to turn the voices off and relish in the fact that 'ignorance is bliss' by playing in text only mode if they bother you. No matter what you do, you're never going to please 100% of people. ...

Honestly, this is one game that I hope they never release a speech pack for.

I sense much pain and suffering whilst hunting for those bugs.... Testing != fun. Still though, can't wait to play though, but take your time with it and don't rush it.  I'd rather have a game that rocks, than one with more bugs than a very popular operating system. ; ) By the way, is that C/C++ you...

I would imagine that Vivendi wants to ensure that software that carries the name of one of their games is high quality, which is why they want to review it.  There might be more to this than their telling us, but I would doubt it

No Sound in KQ1

Alright, before actually getting into the troubleshooting, just wanted to say thanks for making the remakes of KQ1 & 2, and I'm really looking forward to the QFG2 remake.  However, I ran into a no sound problem for KQ1.  I am willing to bet this is likely a setting not set right.  Details: Syste...
