I can buy items and magic, but not weapons and armor. Anyway, yeah. Fight (on the world map; not the first dungeon), sleep, repeat until you're at least Level 5, then get a coin from somone in town so you can use the teleporter up north and start on your quest. I've been using Sarina .... EDIT: What is this; Beat 23yrold3yrold Day?!?! -- |

I was walking around on the world map for so long. No invisible monsters from another dimension decided to pop up and attack me! Heh. So, is the story really all about finding a staff? I feel like too many RPGs are like this. Staff == gone. You == Find it. Seems a little... typical, that's all. Sorry --- |

Yes, that is the problem. Too many similar stories. But how about if the heroes are REALLY trying hard to get it? If you lose too much time around, and one of the other heroes get it first? When you arrive to where it is hidden, it is not there anymore? And so you must find which one of the seven others got it... each of them left for a different city. And if you lose too much time as well, the final boss will beat him/her to death, and you must go and face it alone, while if you find him/her in time, you can control both characters in the final stage... would that be interesting enough for you? -- |

Actually, it would be cooler if the whole point of the story didn't involve looking for a stick. I can't really argue against the story, since I don't know the whole bit of it - but it seems a little cliche and attached to what most rpgs are attached to. Maybe it's trying to be very much like a classic rpg, I could know less. I've just always been against the starting off like this: "here's your quest - you are heroes - go do your thang." Lunar SSC did a good job at making this NOT happen, but then it became like all other rpgs with the corny and kind of silly love story parts. sigh Anyways, when will the badguy actually win and do what he set out to do even when you've played 50 hours countering his every move? Some rpg should let the bad guy win, sometime. This is what I'm really waiting to see: Finish the end boss, but too bad! World goes boom anyways (in a really cool fashion, of course). --- |

grin Of course, but that was the original idea, and I think we should at least keep it. We can make it bigger (in example, the staff was a faked item, and develop a new story from there), or build from there, with interaction of the other heroes (like I said above), or not. That will have to be planned throughtly ponder how I hate the thro... words! Any idea is welcomed, though! Now, going to sleep (1:19 AM here). Bye! -- |

Maybe the main character you choose will have to end up fighting some of the main characters? shrug I don't know. Just don't make the staff all powerful and mighty. Do some kind of twist where the staff is inconsequential or something and there's a whole HUMONGUOUSLY bigger plot behind the whole thing. Anyways, sleep sounds just about right for myself as well. Ta-ta. I'll keep checking back and throwing insanly improbably stories at you. --- |

I finally played it after downloading the binary from the site; I had to turn off the music to play. The music was really jumpy and erratic and movement was too, so I turned off the music and it played fine. |

I've played KQ since 0.7x to 0.81, and finished 2 times... This new version I can buy weapons/armor/magic/itens ok, but the bridge boss, when attacking with the wave, crashes the game I'm playing with Sensar and Sarina (the legendary team! unbeatable!!). After the first dungeon, you can choose 2 main players to fight with you (in the inn and in item shop). Before the bridge, you can save the mayor of Rende, in a small forest between the montains. If anyone needs to know the history I can tell, I can remember one thing or two. Anyone solved the problem with the big wave and other specials? Bye!!! ^__^ PS: In the small forest, after the 4 enemys in the same battle, going donwn, you can see a path in right. Press action to fight with a enemy in this path to go right...

What I have done so far:
In example, I start my TODO comments as "/* RB TODO: ... */". We must discuss modifications in forums/mailing list, but it is a good idea to add the reason in the source files (if you say "line 530 of file.c should be changed", you have the risk that someone else modifies the file and line 530 becomes line 910). The MSVC version was compiled with hacked LUA and JGMOD libraries (since there are not "official" releases). I can send them to anyone wishing to compile KQ with MSVC, but the JGMOD is not working very well (the combat song is not played, just "mumbled" :/) Though the MinGW makefile "supports" static link, I will delete that section, mostly because LUA and JGMOD cannot be statically linked (am I right?). I would like having the data/, scripts/ and setup.cfg (plus anything else I might be missing) into the bin/ directory, which then can be compressed as a "ready to use" package. PH, can you setup a mailing list at sourceforge? Maybe Matthew wouldn't like having a heavy discussion about it here... The "struct" must be set up now that we are just rearranging the format. Once developing, it might become impossible to do so. Oh, and maybe it would be a good idea to create modules (GUI, COMBAT, etc) into the src/ directory (src/gui, src/combat, etc). Any suggestion? Everyone working on the project knows how to handle CVS? Anyway, I will upload this package into my temporary page before commiting. The struct has been drastically modified, so maybe you would like testing it. -- |

I uploaded a new version of the source here for the ones that don't have CVS. Just uncompress it, type fix and your system (sorry, *nix support is very small, since I don't have it still), then make, and you should move the executable into the original KQ package. Ok, I will commit everything now... -- |

I think my TortoiseCVS is a little different than yours: http://www.geocities.com/chrisrbarry/tortoisecvs.GIF The protocol you suggest doesn't exist, and what do I put for user name? Does it matter? -- |

protocol is probably pserver, server would be 'cvs.kqlives.sf.net', directory == '/cvsroot/kqlives', username == 'anonymous', or your SF acount name., and 'module' should be whatever kq is named in cvs.. (like in allegro's cvs its called 'allegro'...) NOTE: pserver -> Password Server... -- |

Yes, Thomas has stated it quite well. Tell us if you could not set it up. I just hope Pete has worked something on the mailing list... Matthew doesn't like a thread to reach 100 replies -- |

The mailing list is up; I subscribed to it already. And I beat KQ! Well, as beat as I can get it EDIT: okay, it worked with my username, but not anonymous. I thought it would need my password or something and I didn't know where to put it (also didn't know it was smart enough to ask I hate downloading this whole thing on dialup; I assume next time I try this, it just downloads modified files? EDIT2: Problem near the end ... cvs95 checkout: Empty password used - try 'cvs login' with a real password C KQ/data/allstat.mon cvs95 checkout: move away KQ/data/allstat.mon; it is in the way C KQ/data/cvswrappers C KQ/data/kqsnd.dat cvs95 checkout: move away KQ/data/cvswrappers; it is in the way cvs95 checkout: move away KQ/data/kqsnd.dat; it is in the way C KQ/data/mpcx.dat cvs95 checkout: move away KQ/data/mpcx.dat; it is in the way Hmmm ... now what? I seems to be complaining I didn't give a password, bur I did (after it asked for it) .... -- |

That bug's been fixed. Not sure who's got the non-buggy .exe's uploaded. Thanks for the bump too; I still need that help. I think CVS stands for Chris is Very Stupid -- |

I have 0.44 installed, and downloaded 1.0 but didn't like it. Hmm... 1.0.2 maybe is lacking something Tried doing the same again? But anonymous must be the password (I access to it as anonymous as well). -- |
