At least in the
Spanish version it is not possible to open the
Mystica entries ingame (SIDNEY), though all the Mystica HTML files are inside the Barn files (.BRN).
The reason could be that the HTML files are the English versions, they aren't translated into Spanish. So in the SIDSEARCH.TXT (
'SIDSEARCH - Spanish.TXT') there's no subject/HTML about the Mystica encyclopedia.
You can check that in the
English version (
'SIDSEARCH - English.TXT') appear all the subject/HTML of Mystica.
In order to solve this absence in the Spanish version of GK3, I've made a very small MOD (
'SIDSEARCH.zip'). You must download the ZIP and extract the content to the folder of the game. Then use the 'SEARCH/BUSCAR' option in SIDNEY, look for 'index' or 'topics' and follow all the links. With the MOD you can also look for 'tycho' to earn the
'Penny Arcade' easter egg.
If any of you has other Europen version without access to the Mystica encyclopedia, follow these guidelines:
- Download the above ZIP and extract to the folder of the game.
- Extract the SIDSEARCH.TXT from your version with the
console of the game.
- Open your SIDSEARCH.TXT with the NotePad and copy only the 'Jensen/Bormann' entries.
- Go to the folder of the game, then to the subfolder 'HTML' (MOD).
- Open the SIDSEARCH.TXT (of the MOD) and replace only the 'Jensen/Bormann' entries with yours.
The SIDSEARCH.TXT is itself interesting. It contains all the subjects (and the related entries/HTMLs) which we can use in the 'SEARCH' option of SIDNEY. There are inside the following sections:
- 'Jensen/Bormann entries': aka Schattenjäger Archives;
Adam D. Bormann was the Design Assistant of Jane Jensen during the development of Gabriel Knight 3. So, it looks like only Jensen and Bormann wrote the Schattenjäger Archives.
- 'The Mystica Headings': the tree of indexes or lists of links to others subindexes or to the Mystica entries.
- 'The Mystica Entries': articles of the Mystica encyclopedia.
- 'Dudash entries': only contains the entry of the 'Penny Arcade' easter egg.
Note: All the files (SIDSEARCH*.*) mentioned in this post are in
this folder.
