Re: Does anyone fancy testing The Vespozian Affair (BBC)
Oops. Not a problem with "GET" as such. I had introduced a subroutine that used the same variable as the Verb list. Fixed that. Then realized it only take "TAKE". Still fiddling. Been assassinated once for treason. Oh well...

Re: Does anyone fancy testing The Vespozian Affair (BBC)
Been working on Vesporian from a Spectrum version I detokenized. There seems to be something deeply wrong with it. I can't "GET" anything. It would be helpful if there was a walkthrough, but there doesn't seem to be one. Is this because there are no working versions? The same problem with "GET ...

Re: Does anyone fancy testing The Vespozian Affair (BBC)
Don't worry. I managed to detokenize a Speccy version. I think it will convert easily to TRS-80 MC-10.

Re: Does anyone fancy testing The Vespozian Affair (BBC)
Any chance you could shoot me any of these versions as text files? I have the scan, but some of the edges are missing in a few places. Any additional info, text strings, etc. would be really helpful.

Re: The Bianco Mansion
Found another bug. After you get the map you see a message "The Alarm has sounded. You don't have much time!" But if you drop the map and pick it up again, it gives you the same message, which means the end timer has been reset to 25. This can happen anywhere, so you can effectively reset the map at ...

Re: The Bianco Mansion
I fixed the vault interaction in the following way in my latest: If you search in the entrance room to the vault, it tells you the vault has a time lock door and is "currently open." Hopefully enough of a warning. I also fixed the ladder/stool handling. Now you can either be holding it or have ...

Re: The Bianco Mansion
And Garry those are wicked maps. What software do you use to create them? I really like your cleaned up one. Maybe Gifford was on acid? Or it was just his way of creating a little bit more complexity. Can't really say, although as Strident mentions above, there's a link to the author's current on ...

Re: The Bianco Mansion
Garry,
Thanks for the fixes. Hadn't noticed the one about "clue" and "help."
I think the author's intention was that if you enter the vault without the key, the door shuts and you get trapped. I think this because if you type "unlock door" while in the vault without the key it displays as message ...

Re: The Bianco Mansion
Thanks Gary,
I fixed many bugs too. Hard to remember them all. There was one where if you "wore" the gloves you actually got electrocuted when you cut the fence at the end with the wire cutters. You had to be just carrying the gloves. Fixed the mult-sentence input for the entrance to the map room ...

Re: Adventures for Tangerine Microtan 65
You're right about there being six keys. The counter is just offset so that it included a non-key item. Had to choose between fixing the offset or simply adding a 7th key. I chose the later because I couldn't be bothered checking whether the offset would disrupt something else that was important ...
