Any new projects on the horizon you would like to let us know about?
It would be a dream come true if they went back to AGDI and did a KQ4 remake completing the series, but sadly I fear it will never happen as there were legal agreements made. Although that was a long time ago with people who probably aren't there anymore. Hell I doubt Activision would even notice these days if a KQ4 remake mysteriously appeared on the AGDI site anyway haha.

Last post by Blake00 - July 19, 2021, 04:26:00 AMHey guys,
Big update as it's been a while! I've been busy doing lots of searching and tracking down long lost mods & scenarios to rescue and upload. I've also added some new search categories of interest to me and made some big changes to existing ones...
- Merged C&C and Red Alert together to save space.
- Merged Doom with Fallout & Mad Max under a new main Apocalypse category to save space & also added new Terminator, Judge Dredd, Zombies, & After WW3 to the Apocalypse category too.
- Added a new Starcraft category and combined it with the existing Warcraft one to save space
- Added a new Lunar/Moon category to the existing Mars Colonization one.
- Added a new Final Fantasy category
- Added a new Civ Crossover category (Mods that make a Civ game look like another Civ game) as I've been finding some good stuff for these and wonder if there's more out there!
Regarding that rescue work keeping me busy I recently started a huge new scenario catalog & rescue project creating proper download pages at CivFanatics (even rescuing lost scenarios that are not part of this search cause I'm nice like that lol), as well as extra scenario download mirror pages on ModDB and Internet Archive Library to ensure they don't get lost again as both those sites are long living & offer free hosting. At the moment I'm setting up Civ2 scenario libraries on these other sites but I look forward to setting up these library file mirrors for other Civ game scenarios in the future. Uploading to these sites is not hard (I've written guides over in my CivFanatics project thread) so hopefully others in the Civ community eventually follow my example and add to all these collections in the future to ensure all these great old pieces of work live on!

Last post by maldaye - March 26, 2021, 07:57:36 AMInteresting, I had the same problem in my first air mage save didn't even realize it was actually a bug! I gave up on the save instead, that means I can play air mage again. Thank God I'm locked in quarantine in my property in Turkey for two weeks which means I can enjoy the game without worrying about anything...

Technical & Bugs forum / Re: "My Retrieve spell failed ...
Last post by GameDevChris - February 20, 2021, 01:00:54 PMThanks for sending in the save and for reporting this glitch. Wow, that's quite the major oversight! I'm surprised the bug made it through beta testing and hasn't been reported by anyone else in over two years.
I've implemented a fix, which will be rolled out in the next patch. Normally, I'd simply get past the glitch, re-save the game, and send the save-game file back to you. But in this case, I'm actually using a newer development version of the AGS engine, and my save-games will not be backwards compatible with the older version of the game you're running. However, I've found a reliable way to bypass the issue. When targeting your Retrieve spell on Strof, make sure to position the mouse pointer at the very top of the red cap on his head. The bug causes the game to think you're targeting the crowd of goblins behind Strof, and it prioritizes them (they intercept the click). By targeting the mouse cursor well above the heads of the crowd and clicking only on Strof, that seems to work.
Let me know if that does the trick for you?

Last post by baronsmoki - February 19, 2021, 05:06:37 PMAs an air mage, I'm trying to stop Strof's summoning ritual. I cast retrieve on him to try to grab the summoning book, and I got the chime sound & 2 XP, but I still get the same message that the spell failed to lock on.
I've tried casting it about 20 more times, and no luck. I'm assuming it's a bug because I'm getting the XP, but it does nothing. I'm completely stuck.
