Hi Kay,
I see Cleo has the same problem in the basement as I had, it looks like a glitch to me.

mornin Kay,

okay,I don't know much about saved games and all but to me, what you sent just looks like a picture and I've done per your instructions and nothin is doin, no saved game on my game, just had to start over, 3 buddhas back...again

Kindly help!

Cleo4

Cleo, the saves are pictures (jpg files). If you followed my instructions it should work for you. Replaying from your last save may help with this problem. I hope so. Also please read the Adventure Game Hints at the top of the Hints forum for additional information.

Cleo, one more thought, when you get Oliver to stand on the hilighted tile look down and make sure both feet are on the tile. This game is really fussy about positioning.
Kay

Hi Riceburner,

Cleo4's computer tutor here... I've looked at the directions you sent her. She has followed them to the letter. I have repeated them - twice. The results are not in question. The saved game tile does not appear when restarting the game and trying to load. Cleo4 does have to start three Buddhas back - all over again.

Here's the rub... Cleo meets fix, no problem. He tells her there's nothing in the house, no problem. Neither the save point or the 50 points ever appears, Problem!!!

You sent her Yokohama7.jpg - which I understand is supposed to represent the "Save Point." However, when she, or I, perform the save as you explained and reopen the game, the Yokahama7.jpg tile is not available to reload from that point. It's just not there. The only one that shows up is Yohohama6.jpg.

So, the nutshell version:

1 - we save according to your directions

2 - we restart the game

3 - we choose load

4 - Yokohama7.jpg isn't there

What do you think has to happen next? Do the programmer's need to come up with a new patch?

We appreciate all your help so far and hope you can still offer some suggestions.

Thanks Very Much

Cleo's tutor,

While waiting for Rice Burner - check to be sure that you have placed the saved game 7 inside the C:\Program Files\Trisynergy\Frogwares\80 Days\game folder.

If so and still no go, replay the to the point after Fix. Go down to the basement and look around. Stand by the entry way - look inside the room and pan around. Check for a position that you should see an active spot at the very center tile on the floor. That is where you should stand.
I think this is a positioning problem again.

I will try to get a picture to show.

Good morning Cleo's tutor. Thank you for helping. I know this problem is frustrating. When you put my save into the games folder is it in picture form or text form? Are the other saves in text or picture form? They should be the same, either text or picture. When you start the game and go to the 'load' option if my save is there you will see Oliver with uniform on looking into the secret room. Do you see a picture like that? I can send you another save if you think its necessary. Hopefully MaG's picture will help.
Kay

Hi MaG,

It looks like we have a corruption in Yokohama_6.jpg now on top of everything else. We're getting "game.exe" and subsequent "kernel.dll" errors as well when trying to reload from Yokohama_6.jpg. Loading from Y_5.jpg is successful.

Can you send a copy of the Y_6.jpg file. Perhaps deleting the existing copy and replacing it with a known good one will help.

Would you mind sending Y_7.jpg as well. I have turned off virus checking temporarily to see if this may have been a problem.

Thanks,

Cleo4

I had a problem with tile,but I got it when I was standing on highlighted tile and clicked my mouse, after standing and walking and standing and walking forever. Carole

Thanks Riceburner,

Yes, the files are all in JPG format and the properties of the files are all identical. If you wouldn't mind sending along a copy of 6 and 7 I'd like to give it one more try.

Thanks again!

Computertutor

Ok tutor, coming right up.
Kay

I replayed and looked for the best position to see the active tile. I can see the active tile at 3 pts in the room - one from entryway, one from right wall and one from back wall.

This picture is when:
Stand close to the middle back wall facing the fan with the 7 Buddha. Look down and step on the activated tile at the center of the floor.



Good luck.

Hi all!
Cleo, I had exactly the same problem with the tile and I used the saved file Kay sent to me. Here is a little trick. The new file goes in your game folder not as a last saved frame but according to the date when it was saved by Kay and this date is as I remember Dec. 25th. So when you open your Load in the game scroll back to that date and you'll find the new save. Hope this will help.
Good luck

Now I have my own problem. In the saved game I used the only available transportation left is a ship but I traveled by ship and need now Zeppelin. Could somebody please send me the save just before or the beginning of Zeppelin to go to San Francisco or if not then save point Yokohama 8 with Zeppelin? Thank you

Springchicken,

The saved game is on the way. Scroll to look for it on load page. Once you see it, load and then save again to make it go forward on the load page.

Hi Kay and MaG and Happy New Year!
Thanks a lot MaG for the save, it works fine and I am in the Zeppelin. I don't think it's possible to move your save forward, we don't have an active saving capacity, if I exit and load again, it still will be in the back, so I just moved to the next saving point.
:kiss:

Great that it worked.

I just finished the refueling and am in the little zepplin trying to find the Leviathan - seems like I have been flying for ages. I had the light blue then green arrow and then I lost it. I am not sure what I have done wrong but I can't find the Leviathan now! Any hints as to which way I go and how long I have to fly after I leave the other ship? Thanks!

It should be straight ahead and maybe a little higher. Maybe a little to the left, but mainly straight ahead when you start out Dudemom.

It shouldn't take more than a minute to catch up.

The manuvering is the tricky part!

Good luck!

joe

Ok. I got some sleep and thought I would be able to do this easily... I have caught up with the Leviathan and have manuvered so that I am parallel with where I am suppose to be left side empty spot) but I am too high and I can't get lower so I can dock! Any suggestions? It was easier to do the jump and climb to get the darned pigeon!

Try going a little ahead of Leviathin and then wait for it to catch up. The game should take over the docking when you are over the correct location.
Kay

Thanks! I tried it again and got just ahead of the Leviathan but had the red arrow and finally a red box and I thought I was a bit too high when it suddenly grabbed it and docked! What a pain in the patootie! However, I am getting more and more intrigued by this game. Every time I surmount one obstacle I feel great and want to get to the next task. This game was certainly worth the city wide hunt for it! Thanks to the one EB store in my city who carried it and thanks to the clerk who set it aside till I got there!

I understand that well, Dudemom - I also got hooked even though I was NOT a keyboard player. The music helped keep the gaming tempo too.

well...the same thing happened to me...I had to reload & go from the last save point & make that very difficult jump again...ahhhh...I think this game has lots of glitches...but it still is lots of fun !

After a looooonnnggg day at work, I am ready to sit down and have a good time again. Last night I got to Bombay and took my first magic carpet ride! What a hoot! I don't want to do anything else right now except race around on that carpet! Whoo hooo!
