Sorry for the late reply but I‘ll just let you know, that the last executable fixed the problem with the help-Menu. All is fine and works now.
What might be added in the future is a German translation and a Highscore-list. The English voice is hard to understand. Maybe the speach can a little bit improved?
Thank you for that game and I hope to see more FMV-games in future!!!
Thanks man. Yes, the new fix is simply the HDF version instead of the HDD version, patched to work from HDD. Very happy you solved the RTG issue and provided a nice image of my installer. It helps to know later Setpatches are fine.!
I'll get around to merging the files and making a new HDD version at some point, although the game is not as popular as hoped.
The high scores were put on the title page because I didn't want to make a flick screen intro, with a separate page of scores. With Beat Cancer, I made a new screen for the scores, and saved each entry. With Jarri Rally I saved at least one score. But with this, adding another button to access the scores just felt like a step too far, and I would have to redesign all of the menu HUD to fit in the option.
Translation is a good question. If the game was popular I could probably redo the gear narration in German. As most of the speech in the game uses the Say tool to speak out some lines of text, it would not be hard to speak those lines in german instead. Of course, its even possible to move all of those lines to an external Txt file, so users can update the speech themselves. With the rest of the speech, I used Speech2IFF to convert the output from Say into a normal IFF sample, but this is not done by the game, and I would need to added this script to the game for it to work. So a speech pack is not impossible, but at this stage it is very unlikely, as I'm now getting deep into my next game King Arthur's Campaign. Perhaps if you want to edit my game, I can send you the source to play with in CanDo?
