Hi mercedes,
Thanks for testing the demo! I'm sorry that you had so many problems. Let me see if I can answer your questions....
First, I'm wondering if some of these issues are due to the reset of the resolution to 1024 x 768. The game is
supposed to automatically resize to 1024 x 768. At present, I'm not sure that I can answerr that.
The videos for the Viewer were done using Poser. They're AVI's, though the frame looking back towards the chateau uses two flash movies. The opening chest is also a Flash file.
The witch is the only AVI that was compressed using Xvid codex. The codex should have been installed with the demo. If it's not a codex problem, you need to do this to see the witch ---> Pick up the empty bottle and fill it at the fountain, then go down into the tomb. Pour the bottle into the basin to wake up that witch.
The
unfilled bottle, the
filled bottle, and the
gold key are the only usable items. The demo is not for a game, it's just a vehicle for showing the viewer, journal, and portal device. I just added in the rest so that people could see how these components might be integrated into a real game. I was also experimenting for my own information to see what worked and what did not.
The hidden inventory is a "feature".

I also wanted to have the lower bar black as well, until one clicked on it, but I gave up on that... I think it was because of the bar flickering during transitions.
Also when u hit the resume button game, after the game ends..It takes u to the Upclose of KeyFrame--with all items still in inventory--don't ask me why i clicked it..lol..
That button uses an INI file that is created during play when you use the Menu button from any room. It gets written over each time you leave a room. (I had deleted those INI files before compiling, but I had such a terrible time trying to compile yesterday that I must have created another one and inadvertently left it in when I compiled.) If you use the Menu button from any room and then use the Resume button, I think that you'll go back to the room that you just left. ::fingers crossed::
Oh one more thing..You know the frame that says ShadowHunter Plugins...it may be my machine...but the whole word isn't there..U only see Plu....I have a smaller screen I can only view 1024*780--so that could be me there...
I seem to have ShadowHunter mentioned on 4 frames. If you have the time, can you let me know which frame? I probably need to resize all of the frames to 800 x 600.
Thanks so much for all of your bug reporting. I guess that I should delay uploading the uncompiled files until some of these bugs are squashed....
