El Hazard Gameplay Questions

[d.t.]

^_^()()()()()()()
I figured there would eventually be a thread for asking non-technical questions about the El Hazard game... so why not start it?  ^_^()()()()()()()

I don't suppose anyone found all nine endings yet?  I've found 8 with a friend's help (Rune, Alliele, Ifurita, Makoto, Jinnai, Nanami, Shayla, and Queen Diva).  The TAB button is my friend.  ^_^()

I also noticed in Rune's ending a screenshot showing her bathing, but didn't notice it in the game.  Is there a way to see that scene?

I also read (ages back, don't know where) that you can see a scene with Fatara and Ura at the Arliman springs if you go there in a certain way.  I haven't been able to pull it off though (and nearly went sane trying).  Oh well.

I dunno if anyone else on the boards has actually played the game, but no harm in asking.  ^_^()

P.S.  Ishiel's lamp rocks! (*Waits for people to get the pun.  Runs.*)

Hey, got it working at last or what?

Anyway, Ending 9 is our special, so you won't have any info on how to get it... but here's a hint:

* Don't please Ishiel (get necklace but don't give)

* Keep Ishiel and Miz from ever meeting each other

* Make Fujisawa not well liked by Miz


In about a month, we'll have official walkthroughs and stuff.

Actually I'm staying with a friend for a few days, and playing it on her computer (which runs it very well).

I -really- don't want to ask any more (I like to figure these things out myself...) but... to get Miz not liking Fujisawa, does that involve getting her to see him being caught in Jinnai's sake-baited trap?

[Captain Southbird (EHOL Creator)]

Even sooner.  The first time you see Miz at the water shrine, make sure Fujisawa is drunk.

The easiest way to do that is delay going to the Shrine of Water for the first time until you get Nanami back...

Well, got the final ending.  O_O()


You're insane, by the way.


Unfortunately the program seems to be glitching during the final credits (right as the "special dedication" text rolls up).  Checked it a few times, (including once on my friend's laptop) and checked to make sure everything had been extracted from winzip properly.  

Here's the text from the popup=

Error                                  
bobglob.cpp: GetPosForName                              
FATAL ERROR: ENTRY "EL8_68" WAS NOT FOUND!!

Damn it, moron error on my part.

Okay, this replacement executable should fix it:

FYI: The offender in the source code

(Should be EL8_68PC)

*posts just to make sure d.t. notes it*

[d.t.]

Okay, that fixed it.  The ending now works.  Thank you!

Update:
On the new OPTIONS screen unlocked there's a glitch under sound test 00 (The Title Screen Sound Test).  Everything else seems to work fine though.  It's a little thing and not going to keep ~me~ up late at night, but I thought you'd like to know for future versions.  The exact error message is:

bobglop.cpp: GetPosForName      
FATAL ERROR: ENTRY "TITLE" WAS NOT FOUND!!

[Captain Southbird (EHOL Creator)]

... oops again.  I would forget to check #00.  (There was this last minute change to the whole data loading system right before releasing.)
