Re: The Dark Tower by Jack A. Lockerby
I can't see your images. Knowing that the message displayed when wearing the specs is "They depict a black sack.", what could I put in place of the empty message for my zQuill version? ZX Spectrum version: RESPONSE: READ RUNES: AT 7 EQ 70 255 WORN 53 MESSAGE 76 PLUS 30 4 LET 70 200 DONE; READ RUNES:...

Re: The Dark Tower by Jack A. Lockerby
Ah, I wonder if that is a missing font issue... I wouldn't be surprised if the message was in UDGs/a different font. I don't think so, Unquill displays the character tables in the decompiled file otherwise. They've usually been messed around with by a "cracker", who won't have test what effect they...

Re: The Dark Tower by Jack A. Lockerby
Quill performs a little differently than PAW, in that you don't generally necessarily have include a PRESENT check before a GET because it fails or succeeds in a slightly different manner. I don't think this is the case if you have two identical objects. There is an example in Quill's documentation...

Re: The Dark Tower by Jack A. Lockerby
This is due to an error in Dorothy Millard's solution: in the place ROSE BUSHES, you should WEAR SPECS which allows to exchange the two objects. There may be a problem in the game with EXAMINE and READ. When you EXAMINE the runes without the right specs it says: "You can't make out what they say!", ...

In fact the exchange between the two objects is done in the status table :

The Dark Tower by Jack A. Lockerby
There seems to be a problem with the Quill version for c64 found at gb64.com. I need a pair of rose-coloured specs to read the runes, but I can't take them due to a problem in the code: Object 52: A pair of specs. Object 53: A pair of rose-coloured specs. GET SPEC Conditions: Actions: GET 52 OK GET ...

Re: TAB - Windows IF/Text Adventure Maker
I'll have to find time to do a little something with your software. That sounds very nice. I guess it's not afraid of accented characters for typing and displaying. A little typo by the way: in Language.txt, "ALL CONDITIONS CAN BE PRECEDED BY THE PREFIX "_or" TO CAUSE TAB TO GO INTO OR-CHECKING MODE...

Adventure Master
There does not appear to be a reference in the CASA database to Adventure Master, from CBS Software, and the three games included in it.

Arctic Adventure
The games that are in the Captain 80 Basic Adventures publication are in the CASA database, but Harry McCracken's Arctic Adventure game appears to be missing.

Re: Gilsoft PAW/Quill
So I need to do a bit more investigation on that at some point before I publish any update. The Pc DOS version, Atari 400/800 and Apple also use the character *. For the colors it's incomplete, I can't find all the roms... Permanent colours Zx Spectrum: Border 0-7 Paper 0-9 Ink 0-9 C64: Border 0-15...

Re: Gilsoft PAW/Quill
There seems to be a small error in The Quill Reference Guide in Other Observations & Notes:
The C64 version also uses, in the tables, the character * rather than _.

Yes it still operational - but not many using it just lately. So, yes we could carry on over there if u like. - and there's a chatbox too.

Re: TAB - Windows IF/Text Adventure Maker
What u think? If you assume that I think then you are doomed. And beware of Garry, he is much more terribble than I am! I need to take the time to read the documentation and test your software a little. The tutorial is good, but we are on track; everything looks straightforward. Is your forum opera...
