The Eire Raising Adventures of Seamus O'Mally

[chip]

For Solo Kazuki


Sorry for the off topic, but the "" expression inside the the assign command doesn't work for me


It search for an empty directory name and gives me error

@Solo Kazuki

Thanks, mate, this is unbelievably helpful. But how do you make a script? I guess via shell, but I don't know how to save/run it.

Use a text editor, then in DirOpus set the "Script" protection bit.

Then your doing something wrong, here's an example.

"" means use the current folder / path.

Let say you have a folder "SYS:Test" and you wanted to assign this to "Damien".

You can either use the full path from anywhere i.e:

Assign Damien: SYS:Test

or change into the directory "SYS:Test" and then:

Assign Damien: ""

Both will make an assign named "Damien" pointing to "SYS:Test".

Thanks, Damien! Will try it tonight, fingers crossed, I feel like a hacker attempting to steal government secrets! :P

Hooray, I managed to do it, but I cannot get the game to load directly from the script, I guess because there is a space in the filename...it is "Seamus O'Mally". How should I name it in the script to get recognised?

[manossg]

So, managed to gain some distance in the game, so, without wanting to give the puzzles away...

@Louk
who do you think would benefit from the ear defenders?

Hi Damien, are you planning to add this one to your set?

Paddy, just gave them to him but am still stuck what to do now.

[manossg]

You should check the clues from the developers once more!

[Louk]

hahah I did, my head is fried trying to work out what to do next.

[manossg]

Your worker mate can hear you now, so maybe you can offer him something different for lunch?

[Louk]

Ah nice, would never have thought of that, top man.

[manossg]

No problem, mate, having quite some fun with this title, so thank you for recommending it.

Please, let me know how you progress with it, because I finally managed to get stuck. :S

[Louk]

No prob, where are you up to?

OK gave it a look. Open a shell and type (replace the path according to your needs)

makedir sys:Games/Seamus
cd sys:Games/Seamus
copy sys:Empty.info sys:Games/Seamus.info

Insert disk 4 in df0:

copy df0: "" all clone

when the copy is finished, insert disk 3 and recall previous command to copy the disk.
Do the same with disk 2 and disk 1.
When all disks are copied, eject last disk from df0: and

assign Seamus1: sys:Games/Seamus
assign Seamus2: sys:Games/Seamus
assign s3: sys:Games/Seamus
assign s4: sys:Games/Seamus

load the game by double clicking on the game's icon.

To avoid typing the assigns after a reboot, you can add them to your startup-sequence (or startupI or user-startup depending on your configuration).

To run the game from the shell, put quotes around the name :

"Seamus O'Mally"

A bit further down the adventure. I have the magazine, the bus ticket and the twig-a-string thing. Still haven't managed to get the rose, to get past the sweet pickaxe fellow, nor have I gotten myself a bus ride. I don't know if you can do anything with the squirrel and with the jumping thing or if these are just red herrings.

[Louk]

Yeah I'm in the same place (if the magazine is the aer flingus one). Did you do anything to the twig as I just have the twig not a string?

[manossg]

@malko

This helps a lot, mate, I didn't use the quotes around the filename. Thanks!

Yes, a twig by itself does not suffice (I don't know for what, yet, though).

[Louk]

Ah, so you haven't done anything to the twig?
