Ok,
So a long long time ago... lol. In the earlier stages of the game. It was created with something known as locked exits. Basically what this meant was that on the compass the exit was available, but if it was locked you couldn't go that way until you did something to unlock it. The first time I tried packaging the game however, all of my locked exits became unlocked, and the player could go though the game without having to really do anything.
As many of you well know, we are currently facing exit errors with the revamped 2.0 version of the game (which was not coded using the locked exit method). Our prayers have been answered! Today I received a message from Alex Warren (creator of Quest which we used to create the game) himself!
Hi Stephen
After another report of this problem, I took a further look into it and I’ve found out what was happening.
The problem is an out-of-date QUEST.DAT file which the packaged games are using.
To fix the problem, in Windows Explorer go to your C:\Program Files\Quest folder and copy the QUEST.DAT file to C:\Program Files\Quest\Packager\Resources.
Then re-package your game and the locked exits should work correctly.
I’ll fix this in the next version of Quest.
Cheers
Alex
Once I do this, then the newly vamped 2.0 version should be more or less ready to go! We're still not sure of the release date though as we want everything to be awesome for you guys! Wish us luck!
