BlockMaster 67 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Hey guys! I'm always browsing through the code of the Space Quest games and I wonder if anyone looked in the code of the fan games like Incinerations or Vohaul Strikes Back. There might be some hidden interesting things. Not canon, but still interesting. BlockMaster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pcj 414 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 There is. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Troels Pleimert 748 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 If you watch the Developer's Commentary for Space Quest: Incinerations, right up at the end, you'll find an easter egg that gives you the "full points" super-awesome ending, regardless of how badly you played the game. :) But if you're referring to hidden assets and such, well ... I guess all you'd have to do is sweettalk Blackthorne, Datadog or PCJ into sending you the source code to, respectively, SQ2VGA, Incinerations and VSB. All those games were made in AGS.

Datadog 90 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 VSB has quite a bit of hidden goodies that most normal people will never find. For instance, entering certain codes on the safe could return lots of interesting messages. SQInc, not so much. As Troels said, there's an easter egg near the end which grants you a full score. Other than that, the trophies, and the extra endings, all you'd find is the occasional dialogue blurb where I complain about writing dialogue at 3 in the morning.

BlockMaster 67 Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Thank you for the replies. I want to look into Vohaul Strikes Back's code first, I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MusicallyInspired 503 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 The code and resources are encoded and not decompilable for AGS games. It's impossible to hack without the source code. Like Troels said, your best bet is to contact the developers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Procestuous 68 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 So, semi related but is a voice add-on for Incinerations still in the cards at some point? Had a blast recording my lines for VSB! And, concerning VSB...I heard there's someone who'll accept the glass shard...without spoilers, any cryptic hints? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pcj 414 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 It's Vohaul. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Procestuous 68 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Not surprised lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlockMaster 67 Posted December 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 With the code, can I see stuff in a kind of format like the resource viewers? Views, pics, text, sound, vocab... etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pcj 414 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Yes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had a blast recording my lines for VSB! I'd love to do a voice for Incinerations, but I think Datadog said during the commentary that he didn't have time to organize a talkie project. Of course, he could always bounce the script and let the fan community sort that out. Something tells me a huge fight would erupt over who gets to play Doomtron. ;) BlockMaster 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Troels Pleimert 748 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 It's gonna be Samuel L. Jackson. Oh, no contest. But what if Sammy has a scheduling conflict? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlockMaster 67 Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I used a program (I don't remember the name now) to enter SQ2VGA's code once. I searched for the word Sleep. Guess why. <_< Ahem*What a password*Ahem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MusicallyInspired 503 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Probably a hex editor. Any one would work. Sometimes you can read strings (lines of text) riddled throughout the game data files among the gibberish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlockMaster 67 Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Yeah. Probably. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
