Clue DVD Help

[Elrond]

Just wanted to follow up and say thanks to manono and DB83 for your help! DB83 - thanks especially for your encouragement to keep going!

After messing around a bit on PgcEdit, we've got it working! There were two core problems: the missing buttons (which I had found and posted about earlier) and an inserted command that those buttons would simply refresh the menu. All we actually had to do was delete that command and PRESTO! The two cases now work perfectly! I'll be burning a new version of the DVD with the two extra cases completely playable!

That's excellent news.


That little cousin Percy Veerance can often work wonders.


Many thanks for the update - more often or not people come on here, ask for help, and one is none the wiser whether their problem was solved. And if they do come back with a positive those two little words (or even just the simple 'Thanks'), which seem to have gone out of favour these days, are typically missing.

Can you give more specifics on what you changed so that others can "fix" it themselves. Based on your description it sounds simple, just edit one file to delete one command, but DVD scripting isn't something I'm familiar enough to know where and what that is.

The OP has not been on here for over 6 months so I doubt if he will see your message.


I know he was contributing to some other specific forums so he might be found there.


My own contribution in this was quite small. Pardon the pun but he did all the detective work in solving this case. Our PM exchanges reveal that there were un-active buttons and the missing cases should be activated when the registers were set to 6 and 9 respectively. No real secrets there since I understand that was a simple matter of elimination.


But, without the basic knowledge of how pgcedit works, even a simple edit of two lines of the menu code and editing buttons you would still struggle.


Sorry if I sound mean but this really is not my case. And frankly I do not wish to potentially get in to any trouble with the makers of the game who obviously had good reason not to include them in the finished article in the first place.

Any updates on a successful way to play these two scenarios? If so can someone upload a file onto google drive? Thanks
