Oops #4 means that a given object pointer did not in fact point to an object. It's like a null pointer exception but it doesn't have to be 0.

Do we have a list of the interpreter exception ID numbers anywhere?

Thank you, very helpful!

Quick question. I'm trying to track down KQIV AGI ver. 2.0 because it's the only game version with several easter eggs. Does anyone know if it is available anywhere for purchase or was it part of any collection? The only KQIV AGI versions I can find don't have the eggs

[Collector]

No, none of the collections included any of the AGI versions. The likes of eBay are the most likely to have it.

[Kawa]

Which eggs eggsackly? I have a copy here that seems to include the pirate, beam-up, and rap eggs if that's the one you mean.

[doomlazer]

That's the one! I'm interested in looking at porting those eggs to the SCI version.

[Kawa]

I had the same thought, actually.

[MusicallyInspired]

Didn't NRS already do that for his Ultimate KQ4 Patch?

[Kawa]

That shouldn't be a reason for doomlazer to not do it and at the very least gain zetta experience. How many others before me have disabled the copy protection on these games, after all?

[doomlazer]

I wasn't aware of the KQIV Ultimate patch because it was listed on the wiki under installers and not patches. Looking at the readme, it does include the "Beam Me" egg, which is the largest of the 3. I'll have to verify if "Pirate" and "Rap" are also included, but it seems likely.

I'm wavering on the value of converting these to standalone patch files. Yes, it would be helpful personally in learning AGIStudio, but I'd rather spend my time on something that isn't replicating existing solutions.

[Kawa]

So... I can remove the copy of KQ4 AGI I uploaded for you? :3

[doomlazer]

weird, I installed the KQIV ultimate patch, but I'm not finding any of the egg assets and the game doesn't understand the word Beam. Strangely it disables the copyprotect. Looking at the readme, it mentions "beam me" but doesn't explicitly state it's been included in the patch and the forum link they include is dead. The eggs might not have been ported yet.

I would be interested in the AGI version you have, Kawa.

[doomlazer]

This little guy was in the KQIV Ultimate patch. Not sure who he his.

[Kawa]

I would be interested in the AGI version you have, Kawa.

Check your PMs :3

[Collector]

No, my ultimate installer does not include anything from the AGI version. The eggs are the only thing worth importing. If you do manage to convert the eggs to SCI I'll certainly consider adding them to the installer
