Rail Road Dizzy (HELP THREAD)

  {yolkfolk}:yahoo: I have made it underground and found the aqua lung, been in the water am now going to go on a cart ride.

I'm doing pretty well at the moment, but no doubt I will be stuck again soon :teethy:

ok, a breakdown of the gems:

SPOILER ALERT!
8 are in plain view (including the one in the grave)
10 are in the mines and need an item
10 are in the caves and need an item
12 are hidden:

in the roof of the engine shed (jump left from buffers)
behind a jar near water in the mines
behind a wheel past the first ghost
behind a mechanism underwater
behind turrets in the tunnel above ground (you need to jump around a bit to get to it)
behind a support beam near a rat on the way to see dylan
behind some logs past the 4th ghost (on the way to the ride)
behind some leaves in the graveyard (jump on leftmost grave to reach)
behind a weather vane on the mine ride track
behind a railing above daisy
behind a railing in the room to the right of Dora's hut
behind a window frame on one of the cave huts

there. if you can't get all the gems with that, then.... {yolkfolk}:raspy:

oh and can i just say:

ARRGGGGHHHHH the bit of MSD i'm trying to code atm is DOING MY HEAD IN! {dizzy}:mad: i mean seriously seriously. i don't remember being this frustrated since coding DMD....

In the room named "Foul Air" there is a yellow bag and everytime I go pick it up I disappear and then die from lack of air, am I surposed to be able to pick up the yellow bag {yolkfolk}:scratch:

Also I've already found all the hidden gems which I didn't think were that hard to find.

Yeah, you happen to disappear when you're about to suffocate standing still with the Aqualung, and get the yellow bag! trust me, It's worth picking up :wink:

39 Gems now.

Thanx Adz

Got the yellow bag, defo worth getting I must say {yolkfolk}:delight:

Thanks TF for the spoiler. Im up to 39 gems now, just that last one to find, I think I may have all the ones that were hidden now but not fully sure so perhaps must be one in view ive somehow missed somewhere.

Happy hunting {yolkfolk}:rofl:

YES!!! finished it!!! {yolkfolk}:music: {yolkfolk}:clap:  
8hrs 34mins and my score is 44820 though I could remove about 30 mins from that, when i forgot to pause it last weekend!

Well done TF! that was a fantastic game {dizzy}:cool:
now to wait for MSD

hmmmm odd. i'll have to look into that...

EDIT:: OH! it's only when he's wearing the aqualung mask....and only when he's not moving. *goes to look at the code*

2ND EDIT:: Fixed. i've made it so that if he's wearing the aqualung, he can breathe in gas too. it occurred to me when i came to fix the problem that would be the most logical thing to do. new version is v1.01. it should also support joysticks now. Old save games SHOULD still work, as i haven't touched the map.

oh and well done colin for completing it! are you not going to try to increase your score? :tongue:

it's quite easy to miss some of the ones that you need the items for. it's not easy to make sure you have all of them.

WOOHOO!

Now completed - 3hr 55mins and 48,500 points. Mind you, it was only thanks to Jamie's major gem spoiler. Like I said in an earlier post, in the previous two "epics" there was just ONE collectable that I would seriously have never got without the spoiler. My theory gains momentum!

Having said that though, although I thought I'd "actioned" everything, it was in a place where I probably didn't check for the first half of the game because there was a 'clear and present danger' there.

Jamie - a fantastic game, and dare I say even more polished than DMD and DWD. Although still huge, this one seemed a bit less spartan in certain places. And I loved the two new music pieces - especially the 'spooky' theme one. Where did you come up with that? Was it original?

I noticed from some of the above posts that you have done an updated version. I feel guilty therefore about bringing up another bug I think I've found - which is when you 'place' the empty ghost trap on the floor after having killed a ghost there, it still accepts it and gives you points for doing so. :surprise:

Also... it is actually possible to catch more than one of the flies in the screen to the immediate right of the start?

Cant understand it but ive searched everywhere & everywhere but I still cant find that last gem needed, dunno how im missing it despite the spoiler help {yolkfolk}:sob:

LordDizzy send me a PM with all the gems you've found & I will try and help :teethy:

Ok am at a loss as to get past the post in the grave and I've planted the seed and watered it but it hasn't done anything {yolkfolk}:scratch: any suggestions welcome :teethy:

Annie, if you've gone both ways around the 'yellow bag' part of the map then you will have found an object that solves you the planted seed problem. {dizzy}:cool:

arrrggghhhhhh! i've looked at the code, and yes it shouldn't do that! nevermind, i've fixed it quite easily (i hope! i didn't have time to test it, but i've used that code before and it should work). I've also sent the updated version to Alex (still v1.01), as he hasn't yet updated the DizzyAGE site. Saved games should still work. your score doesn't seem quite as impressive now! :tongue:

in a word, no. :wink:

Congratulations on completing it! {yolkfolk}:clap:

Ive completed the game finally getting the last gem yeeee and got a sudden boost to the score {yolkfolk}:yahoo:

Finished in 7hrs 08Mins 58Secs with a near perfect score of 49770.

Personally I think this has been the best fan game played and easily matches any of the official games....well done TF for a fantastic design
and thank you for a really really enjoyable play. I too liked the spooky music which was a great additional at that juncture of the game.

Keep up the great work....was an impressive game {yolkfolk}:clap:

(ps I tried inserting the screen shot of my score as an image but it wont let me, do I not have rights to insert picture images ?)
