Revisiting the five steps to BT

[Kaldire]

Heh.  Finding the answers is probably more simple than you think - you probably won't deduce them, but if you search for them you may find them.

Bt

search .. for them..
hmm
not in game,
yea google is my enemy, on this one so many things
urmm

dont tell me like magic is really SLAYERs logo or something like that..

agghh
bet the secret area is the toilet tho, usually most end up there lol
or bed
if not dead

but cooome on bt!

ok ok, breathe in .. breathe out... uhhhuhhh bush...
what?

how many cookies?

zzz niziit zz   uh oh I think kals on the fritz marge!


grrrrrrrrrr

[Blackthorne]

You could find the answer you seek using this very page we're on.

I do believe this has to do with the classes in the previous qfg games

like mindless mage, = mage class for maze
fighter frenzy= fighter path
devious dirtbag = thief,
but I really cant seem to put them together

oh there is a 4th so paladin?

problem is that there are only 5 icons

Ah, so THAT'S where you put those, BT!

I was a little concerned when I never found them in the regular play-through; I thought you may have decided against using them, or didn't have time to put them into the game... at least not for v1.0!   

[Goatmeal]

dirtbag seems it would be sneak, as it has a bag  and collector with INITIALS TK   what be the tk?
take?

I have NO clue how to get as far as you guys have (beyond step 3), but I can tell you that the symbol with the TK just stands for "Thieves' Kit" -- no hidden meaning there.  It's just initials that represent the tools of the trade for the Thief/Rogue classes...

(When I designed these symbols, I had to have some way of denoting what the funny instruments sticking out of the bag were...)

[natewolfe]

Makes sense

I was a little concerned when I never found them in the regular play-through; I thought you may have decided against using them, or didn't have time to put them into the game... at least not for v1.0!   

so you know on this site where those are?
i looked everywhere i could think, profile edits, blogs, links, calendar,

did you figure out the phrase also goatmeal?
maybe a hint on how I can find it on this very page (not emotes) read all manuals, about section ahh
am I really overlooking such obvious stuff

oh and TK in dnd meant tool kit, even for a thief just sayin

I can find one icon on this site, the IQS icon,

as for this 5th step, really bt how many steps are there lol

next we will be drawing pictures in the sand talking to a squirrel asking him directions to the next clue haha
snipe hunt for sure, and this adventurer is losing sleep gaaaww
soo close i sweaaaaar

goat lemme know if you found the phrase
and well, ill keep searching THIS VERY PAGE, but ahh no

EDIT:
so i did search the forums for ICONS  literally, I did find a great ole little vid of the intellivision ver of QFI hahaha
aww happy baby! so cute, veryy awesome and cute

also goatmeal talking about his fonts and qfg4 copy protection stuffs transferred but nothing solid
"And I also designed the in-game copy protection symbols, based on my love of QFG4's five element icons for Dr. Cranium's formulas."
grrrarrrhhgg
gurrgle,

[natewolfe]

I went online searching for the font, hoping that the wingdings would be included, or maybe another font by Goatmeal that would have an answer... No such luck.  Close, but no cigar.  Nice font, though!


The FontStruction “Medieval Pixel” [/size](http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/640368) by “Goatmeal”



BT, when you mention the solution to cracking the code is listed somewhere on this page...  Any way to get another hint to what you're referring to?  I thought it may be the font, but apparently not so?

[Kaldire]

the sad thing is

google is accessable from this very page lol

jk but really

even the search box in forums i did ICONS ICON SYMBOL SYMBOLS everything by goatmeal
wont even touch bt's 3k+ posts
thats lots!

if its a post, ahh
if its a faq or something.. where?
ahh!
braiiin draiin

[Kaldire]

well

shit
he was right
found it

not even hidden ! ahhhhhhhhhh
no no no
now what?

bt!!!! dammn u

haha so I know I did the right step,
so next is...

drinking water,  holding it and finding a place to draw? something? a picture or something but where and how ah my balls from all this water,
my guess on the next step,
to go around the ENTIRE map, prolly not every section, but long enough
fast travel and resting ruins it
so XX might indeed mean X min X seconds or 20 min wait, then pee on the carpet and AHHH relief
but no clue been walking around the map, always just says SOOO CLOSE
grr?
tie up my flagon with the noose or rope so i burst when i reach the rug after walking over every bridge and location? seems like more than a few minutes

nuts..

[Kaldire]

yea I know i have to
drink water
walk around for a bit (if you wait until any nightfall it wont work) ive tried)

not sure if this needs to happen near the end of act 2 or not, im at the start

XX patient   XX can mean  ahem.. masturbate, and you can use your sword on yourself it says its not the time to .. ya know lol

or flirt, so I tried with everyone I found even a goat lol
tried to tie my winkie with everything, even the noose,
no dice... grr
arrrrgggghhh
nite or mornin' all, 
hope I get a little info here, this might be the stumper

[Kaldire]

nah i think that one was just a valid error on his part .. not meant to mislead at all
im sure someone tested it
because we guessed the right phrase but it wasnt working
so maybe someone tested it with a random code and it didnt work, then did the bank code
so that was given

its my guess

im soo darn close, im a half a step away from the darn bar
dr slash.. chuklas  bt  sicka' i know many are there.. sigh i can smell em
and is it me or do you smell maramite  durrf

mini hint oh please please,
what step am i missing when the text when i pee says "soooo close"
ack

If BT gives his blessing, I will upload a pic of the symbols that I created.

HOWEVER, it is highly unlikely they will help in any way, since it is the specific order of the symbols that matters...  You won't be able to divine any information from the symbols themselves.   

Kind of like the QFG4 copy protection of the 5 elements: alone, they mean nothing.  Without knowing which symbols to use -- the "code," if you will -- for each of Dr. Cranium's 26 formulations to unlock the game to proceed further, they are just 5 really neat animated sprites...

[natewolfe]

Earth, wind, water, fire.... Pizza! Obviously a life giving and sacred element!

gurrgle,

Kaldire --

Aside from the first three steps -- completely watching the intro/credits, entering the ATM # and the setting the moonshiner alight -- already explained here, I have NO idea about Steps #4 or #5.

Unfortunately, I'm quite busy with work and life at the moment, so I'm not able to focus on the BT Fight quest like you guys are...   


While I did design the faux copy protection symbols for the game, I have NO way of knowing how BT and Chucklas implemented them into the game -- I'm as clueless as you guys are about that...

(And you're right -- TK could also stand for Tool Kit!  Thieves' / Tool can be used interchangeably here.)


Glad you liked the little pictures and such that I made in anticipation of this terrific game!   

[Kaldire]

yep goatmeal great stuff very great stuff

but yea I figured that code out, would never have guessed it, still dont understand it
but got it correct,
im on the phase after drinking water now

grr
