BSLS: Request for beta testers
Hi there, the final version of my game BSLS - Broken Sword Lost Scenes is now online. Feel free to play and enjoy it, but let me know what you think of it! ;) The game can be found on: http://bsls.forseth.de (Please read the instructions before playing ! ;)) greets, :) Darth.

Hey Lars, I just moved this over to the "in production" section since it is concerning a developer game in the works. I'll check out the la-*test*-('") version tomorrow and we'll see about some troubleshooting on those "freezes" before the project is due for you. Oh, BTW: to un-"freeze" a game, just press a key on the keyboard to bring up the menu. It will force-enable the cursor, at which time you can click "resume". I know, it's a fugly solution (but it works for the time being!).

Thanks Greg. :) I've discovered that workaround already before, but as it doesn't work always and in every browser, I didn't mention it as a 'real' workaround... :?

I'm stuck! What do I do after trying the frog on the hawk?

also stuck in the same place m8

I'm stuck! What do I do after trying the frog on the hawk? Talk to the concierge once again, he will offer you a fish for 20 $. Then walk around.... maybe someone lost a 20 $ bill somewhere ? :roll: ;)

OK, in that case I can't talk to the concierge again after using the frog on the hawk. The concierge sprite is still labeled "Concierge TRY frog" and when I speak to him the dialog is "He already sold me a frog, I should go try that on the hawk now" even though I've already done that.

:shock: I can't reproduce that error... What happened while/after using the frog on the hawk. Did you klick during George spoke or the hawk flew? If yes then probably the "changePhase" TIMes for the concierge were skipped... :( That's what I called the "clicking bug" ;) If no, please tell me stepwise what you did, maybe there's an error I didn't see yet. :?

I dont recall if I clicked during talking or not. But if that's what the "clicking bug" does, then it seems like the most likely culprit.

What's supposed to happen after the Fatman tells you to go to Monkey Island?

Known issues: - If you click the mouse while anyone is talking, the game "freezes" - If you double click to use an item on a target, the game "freezes" That's the "clicking bug", as I wrote in my first post... Greg responded that he'll have a look at it asap. Well, I never had the game freeze, but I went back and tried clicking through dialog and though I could keep playing, phases of sprites weren't advanced so I couldn't actually proceed with the story.

Hm yes, that's why I put the word freeze in quotes. Depending on when exactly the klick happens and which TIMes are skipped the game can go on or not. In the most cases (the ones I refer to) the mouse is not released anymore, nut sometimes if you are "lucky" the mouse is released again but the TIMes that advance phases or do a setSpriteDraw() are skipped and kind of "freeze" the story of the game and you get stuck ;)

Ok the final version is online now. Check http://bsls.forseth.de for details...

i made it to the end with only one freeze up :D there is a few spelling/grammar mistakes in the convo's.. but hell I'm British and my spelling sucks!! the great escape is full of them :oops: two that come to mind are "steel" should be "steal" and "remeber" should be "remember", you grammar is slightly off with the dollar bills and a few places with the concierge none of them are biggies m8 and easily sorted :wink: you did ask us to beta -*test*-('") lol
