SC-3000 Rabbit Hole... Unlisted Adventures

Re: SC-3000 Rabbit Hole... Unlisted Adventures
I'm just adding your Death Satellite updates now... Regarding your comment on the "broken screenshot" on that page... we are aware of that... it's part of an ongoing issue with screenshots. In the past, I've been flagging these up so they could be fixed but they're being left as they are at the moment (although I'm still adding them to the list to sort later) as they're being used to try and identify what's causing the issue.
Re: SC-3000 Rabbit Hole... Unlisted Adventures
So, maybe I should remove my link to LoS.zip or embed the changes in it to prevent erroneous or incomplete files from being propagated.

Released on the Sc-3000 Survivors Facebook group, I don't use facebook so somebody grabbed them for me and I have no idea if I am allowed to repost the files so just go there and grab them.
One game requires a password and one I have no idea how to play, none of the commands does anything except Look.
Re: SC-3000 Rabbit Hole... Unlisted Adventures
Yes, Garry grabbed the files and produced screenshots for the database. I think he may have made a little more progress in the games.
Re: SC-3000 Rabbit Hole... Unlisted Adventures
I haven't played those ones yet. I see from the YouTube video and Craig Whitmore's screen grabs on Facebook that part 2 has a title screen and welcome screen that aren't included in the version that I've got. Mine is a disk image, not a cassette image, so I suspect that I'm missing the files from side 1 of the cassette. Can you tell me where you got yours?
For 'The Forbidden Zone Part 2: The City of Doom', I did not get asked for a password, but this might be because I am missing the files from side 1. If you do get asked a password, this is given to you as decimal ASCII codes at the end of 'The Forbidden Zone Part 1: Stranded in Space'. It decodes to 'BISCUIT'.
To get started in part 2, all input is in lower case and directions must be typed as north, south, east and west. There are no abbreviations, but you can use the arrow keys to move around. You can also use 1 for look, 2 for get, 3 for enter, 4 for jump, 5 for talk, 6 for climb and 7 for drink. If you get stuck, the main vocabulary is listed in the DATA statements in lines 30015, 30025 and 30035 of the BASIC listing.
Hints: Not all exits are listed, so try them all. However, some lead to instant death. Not all objects are listed, so try look in every room. However, this may also cause instant death. The game is quite buggy. You can't take an inventory in all rooms. If you get killed and restart, it doesn't reset all the strings, so your inventory appears to stay intact.
In case you are still stuck, here's enough to get you across the great lake:

Re: SC-3000 Rabbit Hole... Unlisted Adventures
I played 'The City of Doom' today and uploaded a map and solution. It will be available as soon as one of the admins gets around to it. That should only be a day or two.
Re: SC-3000 Rabbit Hole... Unlisted Adventures
Could you possibly upload the files again, please? The system doesn't like commas in the filenames.
Re: SC-3000 Rabbit Hole... Unlisted Adventures
Since when? I've been uploading zip files with commas in the file name for years. There are no commas in the file names once the're unzipped. Anyway, I've renamed the zip files and uploaded them again, so see how that goes.
Re: SC-3000 Rabbit Hole... Unlisted Adventures
I've no idea. I remember that we had issues with a bunch of zipped screenshots you uploaded with commas in the filenames in October last year.
Apparently "the backend uses comma as separator between input argument name and value".
(To be clear, it's the commas in the filenames of the zip themselves, rather than any in the zipped contents, that causes the issues).
Re: SC-3000 Rabbit Hole... Unlisted Adventures
No unsurmountable problems here, the only issue is that filenames with spaces get chopped off at the first space but it's just a matter of renaming the file (either before or after downloading).
Re: SC-3000 Rabbit Hole... Unlisted Adventures
Your higher level of access might allow you a little more leeway with processing them. I was unable to even download them, without getting server errors.
Re: SC-3000 Rabbit Hole... Unlisted Adventures
It sounds to me like I should avoid commas and spaces. That's no big deal, so long as I know. I'll try to remember to rename the zip file before sending.

Welcome to CASA!
