Mithalas bug? (spoilers?)

[Sindhi]

I can't get anywhere in Mithalas; keep swimming around the same old stuff. I went to YouTube and checked out some of the videos and there's one where Naija gets the grey coin thing that opens up a tunnel. Well, I got the grey coin thing but no tunnel. Do you think it's because I was wearing Krotite armor when I sat you-know-where? I can't start over now, I didn't save any stuff from before I went to Mithalas. When I go back and sit in normal form nothing happens. Help! Idiot! Or is it a bug?

[Align]

Oh, you already sat. Ignore my advice in the other thread...

Did you sit for 3 seconds or so? It doesn't open immediately.

[Chibi]

Did you place the grey coin into the seat before you sat Naija down?

[Sindhi]

Yes, I put the coin in and sat for about 15 seconds and nothing happened. I have tried to go back and do it later but that doesn't work. I'm just stuck; I can't get anywhere without beast and spirit and I can't get either.

[Chibi]

I would recommend reinstalling your game if even more serious glitches appear - it sounds almost as if the installation skipped or missed a few files. [NOTE]: _{I base this off my experience with fiddling around with mod files, so it may or may not be true for the game.} Just save all the .zga and .aqs files (saves) and email Alec with your purchase information.

That does sound like a bug because that tunnel should open if the coin is in the chair, and if you sat long enough... You have placed it in the chair have you, only just finding it doesn't work if it's not placed properly?

[Sindhi]

Yes, it was placed in the chair before sitting. I may have not sat long enough the first time, though, and when I went back again it was too late; sat and sat, no luck. Think you have to sit awhile and maybe have a little snack at the time; later is too late. Wrote Alec, waiting for reply. Thanks!

[silverflagon]

You should be able to go back to it any time and open the passage so that is not the cause, I'm sorry Sindhi, you do have a bug but you should be able to get around it if you return to an earlier save.

And you do need to inform Alec at the same time just in case you can't get around this bug that's in your version.

[Sindhi]

I don't have any saves from before I went to Mithalas. I told Alec about a day and a half ago but he's probably busy. I'm nervous about deleting the program and starting all over; tried to save my files but I'm not sure I did it right, and even if I save them, what's to prevent the bug from returning? Just hanging out and making runs for recipes. Discovered I can pop into the sea nymph cave and out multiple times to fry the sea dragon over and over and get tons of leaves and sometimes special bulbs. Haven't done anything interesting; frustrated and bored now. Thanks for all the help and support.

[silverflagon]

Just start a new game, no need to delete unless you find the same bug again. You can always keep that one save file and use the othere save spaces then nothing is lost at all.

[Sindhi]

If I start a new game I lose everything, right?

[delve]

You'll always have the memories.

(By which I mean yes )

[silverflagon]

If I start a new game I lose everything, right?

No you won't unless you save over every one of your previous saved games. I have gone through my game only using half the save spots this time wheich leaves half of my previous game that I could return to if I wanted to.

[delve]

I misinterpreted, just ignore me. You can definitely keep the old saves, but any recipes or anything else will have to be rediscovered in the new game.

[Sindhi]

Yeah, I started again; was clubbing fish with rocks like crazy to get fish and oil to stock up for the energy temple; that boss is harder for me than Mother Nature because I'm just not very fast on the third laser with Mr. Snarly. Thanks, dude.
