Jim, you are so right, all death scenes in SQ was almost the funniest part. My first Sierra game was actually SQ3, i bought it for my Amiga 500 in 1989, and i still remember how funny i thought some of the death scenes were. Especially my first on, when Wilco got shoot by a crazy robot and some ironic text about ventilation came up (don't sound so funny now). But i actually played it all over again from the beginning, just to show some of my friends when poor Wilco was tortured by that robot. lol.

Brian, it's understandable that you cannot rewrite SCI Studio just to make it fully work on old OS. Beside that, i have still not have any problems with the other editors on my Win98, don't know why, it's just the font editor that will not work for me, but that's no big problem. I admire your work with SCI Studio, everything you have done with it is pure quality.

SCI Studio is now installed on my computer again, and truly, it's a fantastic program, i can't even imagine how Brian could manage to produce something as wonderful that let us SCI-lovers build our own games on the sierra engine. However, the disadvantage is that sometimes it make my Win98 feel older then Space Quest 1. But has you said Jim, if we save often, then it's not that big problem, something we already learned way back in the Space Quest days
Thanks.

Why i wanted to edit my fonts, was to see if i could add those three swedish letters that are missing in the english alphabet, so i could write a game completly in swedish, but that is maybe not possible anyway... so it's no big deal, i just "try" to write it in english instead.

Jim, are you planning to release your game for everyone to download when you are finished with it?
I hope so, it's probably great

Thanks for your reply Jim.

I really got so frustrated that i uninstalled scistudio to day, but now when i see that you, another 98SE user, manage to live with those problems, then maybe i can too. I will likely give scistudio another go later this evening. After all, it seem to be a very good program and is probably my only chance to actual write an sci game.

Does anyone know if Brian (the developer) is trying to fix these 98-editor issues?

Also, is it possible to open and edit the fonts in another program, like photoshop or similar?

Hi,
Every time i open the Font Editor with any font in the template and scroll down the font row a few steps, i'll get weird error messages, like access violation at some memory address amongst other, and my comp freeze. I have tried all the other built in editors, and they seem to work for me.
Is this a bug maybe, or am i doing something wrong?

I'm using scistudio on win98SE.
 

(sorry for my bad english)
