I have the Damascus Steel but am a bit lost as to what to do next. I have the timer too, and I've tried to turn it in every room in every time period. I've enjoyed what I've seen, but playing off and on, I lose track of things and maybe haven't paid as much attention as I should have, to what items I haven't used, etc.
Any suggestions?
Yeah, I think I may've had a bit of a brain fade since I'd already used the slot to get the machine started and then open up Syria. I wound up playing during several different sessions and I thought "Okay, the game is being nice and having you use everything once." Or maybe I was thinking more on the lines of "put USB port A in slot B." I guess I never considered the slot could be like a mail slot.
So after I took a break, came back and got the Damascus Steel, I went through the process of elimination of what still needed use, and I crossed the slot off. Leaving me with ... nothing! Oops.
I've rescued Andy and he's gone back to his wife. The other characters in the hackspace have congratulated me for rescuing Andy, but the game doesn't end. What now? How do I get it to end?
I kept a transcript. When we got back, I talked to Andy and he rushed off in the direction of the Hackspace exit. I then checked every location and he was nowhere to be found. I talked to Julie, Stephan and Carl and they all congratulated me on finding Andy, but that's it. (I also checked the other time periods, but no sign of Andy.)
Oh that's interesting,, he's definitely not at the hackspace exit? There are only two possible options coded, he's returned to the storage room, talks to you and then either leaves the game forcing a win game subroutine or he's at the main entrance waiting to leave, when he can, triggers the win game routine.
How very curious. I'll check the code today and see if there's a condition I've missed and fix it asap.
If you do an update, any update, no matter how minor, update the version number. This aids historians/biblographers and players. For example, if I'm look for a game on IFDB, IF Archive or IFWiki and it says the latest version is version 1.0.0 and I've already got version 1.0.0, then I'm not to know that theres' a different version 1.0.0. Use semantic versioning: a.b.c, where a is a major release, b is a minor release and c is a bug fix. So, in your case, it should have been 1.0.1.
You are lucky that Adventuron allows, even promotes, semantic versioning, whereas the stupid Z-code file format only allows a single release number and the serial number is the date in yymmdd format.
Anybody got any hints for this one? I have collected a whole load of tools and components but none of them seem to work with each other. I’m guessing I need to repair the circuit board but I don’t know where to start.
In particular, does anyone know how to get the soldering iron working? The only fuel I’ve found is the butane cylinder and that doesn’t seem to do anything.
