While I continue looking for a fix for the lost text boxes bug in TyranoBuilder let's have a release of something easier. Unfortunately this can also get bit by the bug so ...

>>>> READ THIS <<<<

If the game seems to be stuck and you're playing full screen or maximized. Shrink the screen back down to native resolution (1280x720). There's a problem in the game engine that makes it mix up the text layer when the game is displayed larger than native size. This makes the game get stuck because you can't click the text to advance the game. Shrinking the game screen down will bring the lost text boxes back in view. This is most likely to occur when there's animation playing.

Okay back to the good news.

This will complete the return to ship side of the adventure. The beach and the real objective remains ahead.

is there a time limitation for down load? using windows and it just downloads but no visual or audio ?

bruemeister

No time limits that I know of. It's 200 meg so it will take a few minutes to DL. Then either install it or extract the zip and run the game.

THE BIG THAW IS HAVING PROBLEMS, WHEN I GO PLAY THE GAME ALL THREW THE GAME ARE SQUARE FRAMES WITH A SMALL WHITE AND GREEN BOX IN THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER. WHAT IS GOING ON , IS IT MY COMPUTER??

bruemeister

It sounds like the images are missing but should be impossible with the Off-line version. Maybe reinstall the game? If you want to connect in PM maybe you could send me a screen shot.

My CRT TV died today. I've had it since the early 90s. I used it to play my vintage Atari, Colecovision, Intelivision consoles. Your timing of this is uncanny. I needed a pick me up and you gave me this outstanding work of art. Thanks, Brue. Again, uncanny.

Also, played it full screen, no problems.

Good, I've done some really ugly hackery to try and cover up that layer bug. Hopefully the ugly hacks will work in Big Thaw too.

bruemeister

Yeah and finding a RF to HDMI converter may be a challenge. Even bigger challenge will be finding a 4x3 aspect ratio TV to hook it to.

muncher

do you think that you could put this on window installer google drive??? thanks.

bruemeister

It is done. Check the description for a link to a Windows Installer on your neighborhood Google Drive.
