haha touche!

true dat, if i could like myself like a dog, id never leave my bed muchless my house hahaahha

anyway it takes skill to know hex, so it wasnt a put down by any means garr
just curious that your first go to.. is hex editing..
i dont even call it cheating on games as such, but imo whats the point

the only thing I can say is this

can you help me with arx fatalis?
it uses a front end called liberatis,  for modern os's
I have retail cd original

there is a bad bug that requires items at the end of the game 7 statues, and if you put even one statue in your chest in your bedroom it vanishes and forces you to start over at 0 hours when you are 20-30 hours into it
I can find codes for gold and other items but not the akbah statues..
devs used to have an item list sheet for bugged items

a guy on steam has some of the old codes but not one for those statues
if you can find it hell ya!

or ill just start over and never put the statues in anything but my inv

here is the steam box quote to see the code you have to do in the game files, but how to find what item is what.. is a hex issue

Disclaimer: I have only tested this with Arx Libertatis 1.0.3 - it might not work with the original game.
 
 In the game data directory (or for Arx Libertatis in the user directory) create the graph\obj3d\interactive\player subdirectories and in there create a player.asl file with the following contents. Do not edit the file while the game is running.
 
  Code:
on game_ready { inventory playeradd <item_path> accept }
  Replace <item_path> with the internal path of the item's script / object files relative to the graph/obj3d/interactive/items dir and without the extension. Here are the relevant values:
 
 For the rebel key (there are actually multiple copies in the game, so you could also just search for it again):
  Code:
on game_ready { inventory playeradd "quest_item\\dissident_key\\dissident_key" accept }
  For the stealth armor:
  Code:
on game_ready { inventory playeradd "armor\\chest_leather_stealth\\chest_leather_stealth" accept }
  Then load your save game. This should add your item to the player inventory.
 
 Now before doing anything else in-game, save, close arx and remove the files and directories you created before but make sure you don't remove any other files. If you don't do this, another copy of the item will be added for each area transition you go through or every time you load a savegame and other things that should normally be done by the player script will be missing, breaking the game.



LET ME KNOW!!!

love ya mate! hehe

Got that taken care of.

Many years ago, when playing QFG4, didn't realize the 3 guys sitting in the Inn at night are characterizations of a very fat Jack Nicholson, an emaciated Rodney Dangerfield, and Royal Dano. Quite amusing to hear them talk!

Who's Royal Dano?

Also, in the regular version they're kind of just mean, ornery, untrusting townsfolk who gradually come to like and trust you.

Finally found my A F disk, after turning the house upside down  >:(
Worse yet, it's version 1.21, the last one and due it's being so old, the last trainer was for 1.17. Oh well, hex and a memory changer will probably do. Been so long since playing this one, I'll be awhile before I can tell you much.  8)

urmm

first off

if the game ran and played we dont have the same game

mine needed 3 patches, and liberatis
not just 1 patch and lib

once you use liberatis thats when you can code (YOU CANNOT GET ITEMS IN THAT GAME VIA HEX)
period

unless of course you had the chart that said which was what, and no one does anymore,

so install lib, look at what I showed ya up there as one guy gave 2 examples that have NOTHING to do with HEX

anyway..

didnt know there were other versions of arx out.. maybe a region thing..

My disk was updated with an unofficial patch, I think, that was cumulative which brought the game up to 1.21. Changes were made in how it handled xp. On my w7 64 bit system, it installed, automatically making proper changes in compatability mode and it runs just great. One big gripe though, the character must have a stomach big as a house. He keeps complaining about being hungry and eventually dies. There was a hex cheat to alter the Arx.exe to make the character invulnerable and never hungry, but the updated game exe showed different characters at the suggested offset. I need to rest and think about it for a while.
later dude

1. odd
is it a uk copy? no retailers sold a patched ver in usa
not that I know of!
but thats awesome

2. if you use liberatis  you only have to either cast FEED once or eat once ever, then the game never makes you eat again, its no hack, its a bypass the devs made themselves

yea it did suck to eat so much, but thats why there is a spell about 30% of the way in the game to feed yourself,
its one of the first rogue like rpgs made!
whoop
short yes,
lacking in side quests yep
bugs galore
but one hell of a game, imagine that on the unreal engine!

and yea you can hex to get the items im talking about but after you find that code you have to make a folder and file as i stated above to make it go to the save game, you cant just hex it into the save..
trust me we all tried back in the day haha

so most have stealth pants edit but not the akbah statues, and trust me HOLD ONTO THOSE
just make sure to first get the 1st backpack in your room at the castle then on lvl 5 from the twin bro sellers then u have 3 bags to fill ;P dont waste time on side stuff until you get those bags trust me there
oh and keep ONE EMERALD for the mini treasure hunt quest

but me.. i cant play now, as im stuck at the end of the game missing the ONE statue i put in my rooms chest,
damned code resetting that room after act3 when a chicken is dead on the bed, it resets the room every day after that so dont stock stuff in the the room

and let me know if u find the akbah stone/statue code to add to a save!
id love to not start over

oh and one idiot did a walkthrough for xbox saying never put points into stealth or tech,
but he doesnt understand the most powerful weapon is a bow, and you get xp for picking locks but not stealing keys

:P

To anyone who missed it, you should also try to look up the earlier QFG 4.5 topic, lots of interesting stuff there. :)

I really hope the creator comes by and posts in this forum!  I think the old topic mentioned that he saw the topic.  This isn't Elsa's domain, he's more than welcome here!  ;D

You know Sir K, can't remember how the heck I actually got through A F way back when is was selling hot. Now I can't even get out of the dungeon before starving to death. The monsters are whoopsies, but the character's stomach is relentless. Something has got to give. Maybe I should just get back to finishing QG4 for the paladin export.

>>>>>>>>

You know Kaldire, maybe if someone had a mailing address, they could send you A F 1.21 postage free. But I seriously doubt they would ever part with their original. pm's do wonders  ;)

just make sure to patch up to date,(seems it is)
and then just use liberatis

http://arx-libertatis.org/
i never died of hunger in the game, only got prompted once ever

to get out u need to go towards the castle and to the inn get papers signed after letting the gnoll go(not the huge troll the little guy trapped in there)
you get papers from a room where a troll is sleeping,
orr..
you can just cast fireball at the gate guard, which is funny...
arx is another one of those almost rogue games that wont hold your hand or show anything on maps etc

soo yea :P  prolly why there are only 4 side quests
1 of which u can fail (finding the little girl) once u get prompted to do so if you dont find her within 10 game minutes she dies.. all fun !

Sir K
haha
odd you said that mate

as during SCA (its better than any sf medieval festival)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_for_Creative_Anachronism
they are also global, have kingdoms, etc
events can last 5-7 days
drinking, women, men, merriment.. etc

anyway I was just a low class, aka civ, (if you carry an SCA card you can carry weapons on you if you are in garb to even like mcdonalds lol)
once we did that in lodi CA... terrible town .. scared the natives haha

anyway,
I fought in a tourney (not real swords but they friggen hurt only wearing light studded leather vs others wearing plate mail n chain coifs..
anyway..
I won! as i was quick, didnt get hit once vs all these huge slow guys,
so due to me winning I got to dine with the queen and king of the kingdom of the mists (thats the bay area) and the royal family and some heralds,
I was knighted.. (mc awesome) by the king  given a kiss by the queen and princess
and from then on I was Sir Kaldire Corehan (no d)  not hand.. lol

annnyway ill have to dig out some of those pics

i recommend the SCA for any serious life roleplayers,
you cannot walk in with a baseball cap and jeans going were da party at,
they wont let u in until u get in character .. and garb
unlike that terrible festival we have sometimes near SF CA.. which is all money not much fun
sca = free   minus parking..
and if you want a card it costs 40$ but enables u to wear garb anywhere there is an event, and raises you from peon to civ.. lol

oh the joy
check out SCA site for maps, and events,
some arent active anymore, but most are!
and again its GLOBAL!
not just a city or state bs event, like the fair..
its serious!
serious FUN!

during a Belgrade event, we had 200 men and women attack our camp after 3 nites o drinking in open tents with bards singing..
we were not ready for it...
but we quickly got our 500 men and pounded em to hell

fun fun FUNNNNNNNNNN

:P

@Sir Kal and @Garr     If you two or anyone who reads this wants to play a classic rpg for the pc try Betrayal at Krondor and Betrayal at Antarra both old Sierra/Dynamix games.   Both are what id consider classic rpg/adventure games that are quite challenging. (at least for me about 20 years ago! LOL :) )  Find em at GOG.com
