 hi  phil. I'm quite impressed with the quiditch pitch. The sound the
 bludgers makes when they injure sarah is perfect. Its spookie. I wanted 
 to
 keep the quiditch pitch for last after i have solved the other puzzles 
 but
 i wanted to see what happens if i go out of an owlery window while on my
 broom. I haven't been to the forbidden forest. I catched the snitch very
 easily. I just side stepped a few times and then i got it. I'm playing on
 easy difficulty.  I'm just very disappointed that the game locks up if i
 get close to the motor bike. When i managed to catch the snitch i heard
 the caretaker talking with sarah and then i hear dementors. It seems like
 they carry sarah away. When i finish the game i would like to hear
 congrachulations, you have completed sarah and the castle of  witchcraft
 and wizardry successfully. After the dementors i hear sarah saying the
 money left in her bag and then i hear the pcs games logo tune.  If i have
 to do something to prevent the dementors from taking sarah away please
 don't give the solution, i want to figure it out first. I just thought of
 mentioning it to you in case its a bug. Please also note that the troll 
 on
 floor7 doesn't eat any bad candy. The only way to get past it is to stun
 it. Also no password works on the lady in the portrait. According to one
 of the books harry and his friends spoke the picksnout password to go in
 and out of the castle  so i suppose its probably another way to get to 
 the
 quiditch pitch but if i try picksnout the lady says no password no
 entrance. No other password works either.  i still have the problem that
 when i arrow down my inventory to get to the crystal ball the game locks
 up. I'll have to start the game all over from the ground floor and try to
 get rid of unnecessary inventory items. I'll eat all sweets as i pick 
 them
 up and stuff such as those in the room of requirement i'll store in the
 broom cupboard. Hopefully the game won't lock up if i scroll down my
 inventory. It appears that i can't drop  a nimbus broom if i have 3. If i
 try to drop a magic or normal broom if i have more than one, both brooms
 are dropped instead. And if i drop books i have read in the library it
 should also solve my inventory problem. I just wish you can soon do
 something about the motor bike.

speaking of TC, I am still waiting for my Vista replacement key. I have  2 
machines, a laptop, running xp, and a vista computer. I used the ordering 
wizard in the tc game to order a replacement but it hasn't gotten to me yet 
and I am still looking through my folders and waking up in the morning in 
the hopes that it'll comes as I have not played that game since 2007!

 Hi Jeremy,
 As I do not have Vista I can not guarantee that all flavors of Vista will
 play the Sarah game but I think tom Ward tried it and found that it does
 work.
 Since Sarah uses the GMA game engine then all the GMA games that use the
 engine should work the same.
 If you have successfully played Tank Commander, Shades of Doom or Pacman
 Talks then the Sarah game will work too.
 They all put the files into c:\program files so you may need authority to
 put game files there.
 Phil

 Hi Nicol,
 Congratulations you won the Sarah game!

 I thought having the caretaker tell you in character that you won would be
 great, but I guess you did not get the idea that after he says,
 (resigned voice trying to hold in his anger)
 OK, so, You caught the snitch!
 Very well, go, and don't breathe a word,
 that you were in the Castle.
 I would triple-check you with my Secrecy Sensor, and force you to empty 
 out
 all your pockets,
 but the headmaster is instructed me to let you go.
 Go now,
 I have to write up a report, go!
 You then get a re-play of some of the more distinctive sounds in the game
 over the top of the exit music.
 If the ending is not clear enough I could add a congratulation you won the
 game but I will have to say it.
 Sarah is saying the money left in her bag including 150 extra gallions won
 by catching the snitch.


 I think I have fixed the motorcycle but that only gives you a faster way 
 of
 getting the snitch.

 I hope to be releasing the next patch soon.
 Phil

Re: [Audyssey] from nicol. sarah impressions

2008-01-07 Thread Raul A. Gallegos
What I did was create a folder called Local Programs in my user home 
folder area. For example, my username is Raul So, my home directory is 
c:\Users\Raul. So, the local programs is as follows c:\Users\Raul\Local 
Programs and that is where I install non-Vista games like those which 
use the GMA game engine. It just works too. I don't have to run it as an 
admin, nor do I have to turn off UAC.

Thomas Ward said the following on 1/6/2008 11:28 PM:
 Hi Geremy,
 Yes. Sarah works fine with Vista. Though, i recommend installing to your 
 local user account rather than
 c:\program files
 if you plan to run user account control management.

I have to write up a report, go!
You then get a re-play of some of the more distinctive sounds in the game
over the top of the exit music.
If the ending is not clear enough I could add a congratulation you won the 
game but I will have to say it.
Sarah is saying the money left in her bag including 150 extra gallions won 
by catching the snitch.


I think I have fixed the motorcycle but that only gives you a faster way of 
getting the snitch.

I hope to be releasing the next patch soon.
Phil

 hi  phil. I'm quite impressed with the quiditch pitch. The sound the 
 bludgers makes when they injure sarah is perfect. Its spookie. I wanted to 
 keep the quiditch pitch for last after i have solved the other puzzles but 
 i wanted to see what happens if i go out of an owlery window while on my 
 broom. I haven't been to the forbidden forest. I catched the snitch very 
 easily. I just side stepped a few times and then i got it. I'm playing on 
 easy difficulty.  I'm just very disappointed that the game locks up if i 
 get close to the motor bike. When i managed to catch the snitch i heard 
 the caretaker talking with sarah and then i hear dementors. It seems like 
 they carry sarah away. When i finish the game i would like to hear
 congrachulations, you have completed sarah and the castle of  witchcraft 
 and wizardry successfully. After the dementors i hear sarah saying the 
 money left in her bag and then i hear the pcs games logo tune.  If i have 
 to do something to prevent the dementors from taking sarah away please 
 don't give the solution, i want to figure it out first. I just thought of 
 mentioning it to you in case its a bug. Please also note that the troll on 
 floor7 doesn't eat any bad candy. The only way to get past it is to stun 
 it. Also no password works on the lady in the portrait. According to one 
 of the books harry and his friends spoke the picksnout password to go in 
 and out of the castle  so i suppose its probably another way to get to the 
 quiditch pitch but if i try picksnout the lady says no password no 
 entrance. No other password works either.  i still have the problem that 
 when i arrow down my inventory to get to the crystal ball the game locks 
 up. I'll have to start the game all over from
  the ground floor and try to get rid of unnecessary inventory items. I'll 
 eat all sweets as i pick them up and stuff such as those in the room of 
 requirement i'll store in the broom cupboard. Hopefully the game won't 
 lock up if i scroll down my inventory. It appears that i can't drop  a 
 nimbus broom if i have 3. If i try to drop a magic or normal broom if i 
 have more than one, both brooms are dropped instead. And if i drop books i 
 have read in the library it should also solve my inventory problem. I just 
 wish you can soon do something about the motor bike.

Hi Jeremy,
As I do not have Vista I can not guarantee that all flavors of Vista will 
play the Sarah game but I think tom Ward tried it and found that it does 
work.
Since Sarah uses the GMA game engine then all the GMA games that use the 
engine should work the same.
If you have successfully played Tank Commander, Shades of Doom or Pacman 
Talks then the Sarah game will work too.
 They all put the files into c:\program files so you may need authority to 
put game files there.
Phil

Hi Geremy,
Yes. Sarah works fine with Vista. Though, i recommend installing to your 
local user account rather than
c:\program files
if you plan to run user account control management.
