AGDI Quest games now mac native!

dark-daventry · January 20, 2011, 03:13:49 PM

I just checked the website for AGDI and all three of their quest remakes are now mac compatible! I'm currently downloading KQI, and I'll report back once I'm done with that.

atec123 · January 20, 2011, 03:25:48 PM

indeed. (although technically I am pretty sure it's just winewrapped)

I am planning on porting them to linux as well.

Arkillian · January 20, 2011, 03:35:32 PM

oh- cool for you guys

KQ2 was my favourite out of the lot cause it actually improved the original game due to a bigger map and expanded plot line. I liked their King's Quest 1 also. It's really nice to have voices to the characters. Alexander's voice actor in KQ3 has this really sneaky chuckle when he kicks the cat ^^ I'm glad you guys will start to see all of that now

((Wish the teleport at random stone didn't crash the game though

Actually, I've played through both remakes completely. I just got a mac about two weeks ago. I've had windows before then, and I still have my power house windows desktop, so I now (legally) own both operating systems! I just need some good games to play on my mac!

Oh, and btw, the KQ3 remake wasn't done by AGDI. It was done by Infamous-Adventures. I'm also not sure if there's a mac version of that game available anywhere to download. I would download a windows version and fiddle with it in wine, but my school's internet connection is really bad. Although I do need some help in wine... I'm not used to using an emulator of that kind. What kinds of programs can Wine run? And is the version of wine I want for my computer the WineBottler version, or is there another?

if you are good at following guides, you should be able to find just about everything my first post.

I mainly use linux, but I have played all the games and remakes. I have windows XP MCE because I am not quite a strong enough individual to ONLY use linux, but I sure as hell didn't buy it.

I play all my KQ games in Wine on linux, except moe, because that doesn't really work in wine (haven't tested the gog version, I bet that works)

dark-daventry · January 20, 2011, 03:57:21 PM

I have Wine installed via Wine Bottler. Is that the correct version of wine?

KatieHal · January 20, 2011, 05:31:27 PM

Who did the voice of Alex in IA's KQ3? I feel like he did a voice in our game too, but I might be wrong.

it might work, but no. that isn't real wine, it's a winewrapping tool based on wine. read my guide for installing tsl on osx through wine and that method is how to install the right version of wine.

Anyone try playing the new Mac version of QFG2VGA with the standard single-button mouse? Control-clicking and Command-clicking seem to do nothing, so the game isn't playable beyond the stat screen (since you can't allocate points by using the keyboard arrow keys apparently.) I hope I'm stupidly overlooking something and it's just my mistake. If anyone has gotten it to work, please tell me how!

Here is the KQ3 remake credits

Alexander in that game is voice acted by Cris Skelton.

Not sure who voices him in TSL- I'll find out tonight when I play it (again

)

Michael Fortunato, a team member who also does a great deal of audio and art work for the project.

KatieHal · January 20, 2011, 08:31:52 PM

Ahh. No, I don't think Cris did a voice for us, but he was on the project at some point, I remember the name. I think he was an artist?

For some reason I thought Alex was voiced by Jon Stoll, who does Edgar in our game. (And is a very good artist, as well.)

Oh, cool! I didn't know that.

Arkillian · January 20, 2011, 08:35:20 PM

O.O So many multi talented artists here! Perhaps I should try voice acting.... apparently I make a good alien T.T

I love how the off topic discussion here gets like 6 responses while the single on-topic question is completely ignored.

Hahaha I noticed that too. Sorry - I don't have a Mac or I'd give this a try and see if I could figure anything out. You'd think there'd be a way around it as I have to assume it'd be the first thing they'd see when testing it out.

crayauchtin · January 20, 2011, 11:57:02 PM

The QFG2 Mac version is done?

YES! *SO EXCITED*

Quote from: wiki.winehq.orgHow do I right-click in Wine on Mac OS X?
Control-click, as you're probably used to, won't work in wine (so far?). Workaround: Enable secondary click by tapping the trackpad with two fingers. Therefor go to System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Trackpad and enable 'Tap trackpad using two fingers for secondary click'. You can then do the right clicks by tapping the trackpad with two fingers.
Update: if you are running a current version of Xquartz, you can go into the X11.app preferences when its running and select what you want to be modifier keys for right and middle clicks.

remember: it's not really a mac port, it's just using wine.

Lambonius · January 21, 2011, 07:07:31 AM

Haha...thanks. I'm gonna try messing around with my "mighty mouse" settings and see if I have the other button positions enabled correctly. As far as I know, I have had the standard left-click and right-click enabled (even though it's just one solid surface.)
