Holiday - V1.07 Released


This is yet another Final update. I know I could keep fixing bugs forever, and even reduce the EXE down considerably, but I have to draw the line, as my other games need far more attention to my time.

Bugs Fixed and Stuff Added:

  • Discovered and fixed a bug with V1.05. If you completed a day after midnight, the day would roll over to the next day, and all mission objectives would not count towards any score. The day would then roll over again,  so the next day would start 2 days later (e.g. Day 3).  I added a variable for the actual day, as well as the game day, so the computer knowns what day the player is on.
  • Sometimes the music would keep playing after the game was shut down. I made a fix for this in V1.05, but it only fixed a few rooms. The Launch Script how runs BastyPlayer again when you quit the program, therefore always stopping the music.
  • Fixed being able to use items on the peninsula screens without being instantly taken back to Room 1.
  • Added 10 more hidden click boxes to different places in the game, for example, Morgan's  Bar, and some on the south beach.
  • Fixed some spelling mistakes introduced with V1.05, such as Petro instead of Pedro.  And 'The Day the Temperature'.
  • Changed Fight Check In Desk to Hotel Check In Desk.
  • Updated the version in the title of the game to V1.07

Unfortunately, the game still requires itself to be installed in a 'My' directory, as the path is Cando:My/pics, etc. This is hard coded into the game, so I cant just take it out. I didn't make this same mistake again for my other games, and they can be installed wherever.

I learned a lot from making this, and if I had to write it again, I could probably do a much better job, using a fraction of the code. The benefit of having each screen in the game load up as it's own 'game' means I didn't need to have context driven buttons, and could add as many buttons as I liked per screen. The downside is that it takes up a lot of memory, and each screen cant be changed so easily. 

I'm sure the game is probably still not 100% bug free, but it's at least now 98%. lol.
