Great to hear the patch is coming along just great. Something I think I mentioned before about the mines: when entering a room from the east side to a small wood scaffolding, when continuing to the west exit, Roehm does a complete turn around before continuing west. This is slightly inconvenient if there's an enemy in the room, due to your extra time in the room.

Quest for Infamy / Re: QFG 4.5 Discussion Part XVIII
« on: September 27, 2014, 10:07:40 PM »
I've now played qfg4.5 twice as fighter and twice as thief, each one on both xp 32 bit, and win 7 64 bit. Thoroughly enjoyed it, but not as much as QFI. In QFG 4.5, a lot was taken from King's quest V, the snowy mountain area, the sea voyage to the island, and a bit of space quest music thrown in.
Getting back to QFI, I found it rather easy, especially the BT part, but quickly lost interest in that. It was too tedious, yet doable. Too much hit and miss, but Blackthorne says the BT part will be more lenient in the update. There is so much more that can be done, things like the hanging plant on the edge of the stables, the well by Rayford's house, etc.

« on: September 26, 2014, 09:57:44 AM »urmm i dont think you understand what i mean garr
thats a direct quote and after doing what it said..
the game runs FINE in win7 64 bit
so you have the windows exe... and the setup.bat
dont even touch the setup.bat
just right click the EXE... in the box that has the exe you type --setup after it so it looks like this
QFG.exe --setup.exe
it will then LAUNCH the setup or you can just make a setup config yourself if you know how (i did)
btw its never default for full screen ever, just so you know
if you got it fullscreen you set it up that way
if a full screen was default on this game it would hurt it, badly if not setup at the right res
so 90% of games this old run in a box, hell even qfi did at first,
so you pick 640x480 there is no way a new age desktop can have that res my lowest is 800x600 so yes its in a window,
to solve that just edit the config to 0 for windowed.. tadaaa
anyway it works mate
if anyone needs help getting it to work, without XP or 32 bit lemme know
:-[It does in fact work. My problem was not properly altering the destination section, then failing to start the game with the QFG.exe. Many thanks. By the way, huge kudos on finding BT. he he he

Only thing wrong with the --setup is in the download from his site for the windows version has no setup.exe, only the setup.bat.
Anyhow, the game default is full screen. It would not run in windows 7 64 bit. A message popped up saying the resolution could not be altered. Once I put the files on an hd that was 32 bit ntfs, the game ran just fine.
Should you ever get it working, enter town, go north and ask the apple vendor, a centaur, for a date. agree to tend her garden. Exit town, go north and west to the garden and use the hoe (rake, whatever). Return to the centaur and again ask for a date. Leave town again and rest for 60 minutes. Go back up to the garden and she should be waiting. Ask her for sex. ha ha ha ha

« on: September 25, 2014, 05:33:13 PM »garr so you only got the game to work on xp?Any early version of windows should work as long as it's ntfs, er.. 32 bit. That's the only windows version of the game available from http://www.curlysworldoffreeware.com/games/view/238
interesting,
as I said before I worked for intel for a while so i still have my INTEL XP pro cd, which is good FOREVER with unlimited installs, great stuff to have,
sadly i dont have the intel win7 or 8 or 8.1 but shrug
anyway yea I got the game to work in dosbox, just know this
the 4.5 installer = poop
the game was made very poorly with that code, so even when u get the windows exe and rar files, it fails even on the setup bat, then you compat mode that and it fails in game
so yea dosbox with the rars not exisiting and just straight files, worked for me, just no sound!
hmm
Just put the files into any directory on your hd and run the game exe

I had a lot of used computer hardware lying around. So I had a brainstorm. I knew of a guy, in the next town about 10 miles away, who built old systems. Loaded up all my junk and visited him. I traded everything for a 32 bit system with XP installed, a keyboard, mouse, and old monitor. Purchased a cheap 2 speaker system at office max. Every thing going great with QFG 4.5, remake of QFG 1.

Hey guys n gals, just a quick stop by. Ever hear about Quest For Glory 4.5 "So You Thought You Were A Hero" great video about revisiting Spielburg. Unfortunately, it wants to install at a resolution of 300/200. You will need an old low res monitor. There are maps and walkthroughs at Mikey's place. gotta go

So how am I still able to log in? I thought this ability was removed along with my email, which was removed from the broadband provider. Yet my profile still shows the non existent email.

Now here's one that bugged ME.
plying as rogue, in Red's office, looking at the left hand picture, Roehm says Algeria, but the text shows Alegria. So I hacked the Qfi.exe and switched the e and g. Now when Roehm says Algeria, the text also shows Algeria. ta da
