Handyman Wanted (Final)
heres our entry to the Lovecraft commonplace book project for -*test*-('")ing.. http://www.nigecstudios.uk.to/lcraft/ its a colabaration between me and Roger Tober aka ad7venture, and the musical talents of Trumgottist for the intro and ending please let us know what you think and if you find any bugs etc Big thanks to Greg for his Flash help and to tucker for his help with 2 of the big puzzles.. if you could see the amount of work that went into one of them you'd freak!

Looks good so far. ... say ... where can I find the puzzlebox that's mentioned in the hints section? :) ... I'm playing on the old PC of my roommate at day time ... that means the old monitor is set on the brigh-*test*-('") setting and turned away from the sun as much as possible and I still can't see much. Maybe that's why I didn't find it. But maybe that's because of this screen ...

theres another room on the landing.. behind the camera view yeah it could be a bit dark on old monitors, we did brighten it up quite a lot theres a useful thing called Resolution Manager on the net http://www.bytegems.com/resman.shtml or Photoshop installs a gamma correction tool (thats what i used) on modern monitors it looks to bright.. its hard to find a happy compromise

each transporter has a symbol that relates to were your going, you need a power cell which is in the bat symbol room in the end transporter you need to use that to get to the end, theres 3 transporters you can use it on, but remember to go back and get it if its the wrong one :wink:

Found it... finished the game... Fun! :) :D

did you find the puzzles to hard or just the right amount challenging?

lord_noodle- 05-19-2007

did you find the puzzles to hard or just the right amount challenging? Most of them were fine. I finished the one with the 4 statues while trying all the possibilities: 1 2 3 4 1 3 2 4 1 3 4 2 1 4 3 2 2 1 3 4 etc... till I got the right one... I solved the final puzzle after your hint. At first I didn't notice they were transporters.. I thought I was in the same place all the time..

the intension was to make some sort of effect as tho you where being transported somewhere.. but by then i was having problems with Lassie crashing editing TIMes, the CST got very big and i kept using large chunks of virtual memory, so to save my sanity we didn't do it

Looks great but I'll have to play it later. Was hoping to stick it on my hard-drive but the download shows a .exe file. Win only?

NigeC- 05-19-2007

its has a self installer and a director projector exe to launch the game.. was trying to look posh.. if you want is a rar and the flash player i can soon sort that out edit the rar version is here m8 http://www.nigecstudios.uk.to/lcraft/handymanw.rar

bigmac- 05-19-2007

It uses a Director projector? I thought this was LassieAS? Or are you distributing it with those Flash projectors that I sent you? If so, BIG difference: Director != Flash (or in non-programming terms, Director does not equal Flash)

NigeC- 05-19-2007

theres still people out there without the flash player i had people grumbling about it with 2DA hence the reason i asked, the rar file has the swf and not the exe for people on dialup its easier to download, and because they are on dialup they tend noot to bother with media plugins for their browsers
