I've pressed
the switch again and the bed didn't move. Nothing happened. From a logical point of view how is the player supposed to know that he has to press the button three times to progress? To be told that Im going to encounter these illogical situations for up to 2 hours is not really inspiring me to continue with this FM.
The
bed moves and the door opens with one push of the button. I was just trying to help you. If you have no patience with the New Dark, as it is new, and unexplored, then there are other fms you can try.
Sorry for your troubles !

I attempted to install the fm-selector. I was unzipping contrib_src & editor_zip blindly because I couldn't find any instructions. After unzipping these it only produced more zip files and no executable and I wasn't sure where to go from there. So I just re-installed V1.19 and ran darkloader with tell tale heart; Low and Behold no error messages! The mission started; I almost fainted after playing around with this for 5 days. Now let's see how far I get in the mission itself....
Great lundy, heres to your perseverance ! :thumb:

OK if its a New Dark issue then its out of your hands and I apologise. Its a pity I cannot furthur proceed with your FM. It was pre-patched to 1.18 and everything else. I'll come back to this at a later date and see if it works then. I hope I have better luck then.

Perhaps it's a PC issue.
It works fine for me.

Yep, it is strange how some machines sync with this fm and some dont. It was tested with windows7 64 and 32 bit, Windows vista, windows xp home edition, and windows xp pro. I tried it on windows 98, but no go.
I have made another update Version 1.2 The following issues are resolved as sort of a backup measure when buttons dont open doors as they should.
1. the trap door to the cellar can now be obliterated with the sword
2. the morgue door leading to Amanda and the Steak can now be obliterated with the sword, blackjack.
3.the 13 secrets now tick off as completed, but the stats are still wrong. A bug I cant fix.
4.I added a couple more powerups just to make life a little more easy on the player.
Should be up soon !

I'm so confused. I managed to bring Amanda back, but to what purpose? She's just an evil demon, so I hacked her with my sword till she dissipated in a cloud of flies. . I say again, what is the point? Also, I don't know what to do now. The door in the torture dungeon leading to where it looks like Basso and Jenivere are being kept is locked and I have no key for it. Apparently I'm supposed to feed a poisoned steak to some one-eyed demon or something? What do I do? :confused:

The point?
The point is in the story, and it is halloween. If you picked up everything in the lab, a bottle of poison, and there is a steak. Use the poison on the steak, and put steak on the dinner plate without the Lord of Death seeing you. everything is explained in the readables.
Look
If you dont have the key to the PortCullis, look near it closely and you can find it easliy. Thoroughly in the Dining Room, you will find everything you need.
