Art of Murder 2: Hunt for the Puppeteer - Finished the game

Hi

As always - my opening questions.
How many save game slots are there for this game?
Thanks

RAL

I think I had over 40 and still going strong.
I would advise though that you delete the autosaves that you have finished and have made labeled saves.

As usual I need help.
I'm in Jack's apartment looking at the drawer with the hole in it. When I place the spoke in it nothing happens for me - can't lift the plank high enough to get what's underneath it.

EDIT - Hadn't pulled the drawer out.

Glad you have that problem solved.

Problem again.
I'm in the dressing room. Have to place a blue button on the phone. Can't find a blue button anywhere.

Don't you just have to press the button on the phone?

Sorry - that's press. I must be tired at that time.
Thanks for telling me.

I realized this after I turned the light on.

Click!

hi, I would like to know where can I get this game for download?

thanks

Hi Disney,

There's a demo available for download, but as far as I'm aware (and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong) you can currently only purchase a hard copy of the full game. InteractCD has it available - there's a link at the top of the page.

Stuck again - going crazy with the map.
I put it together rather fast but then when I want to add the tape I only get a part of the map to tape the pieces.
How do I get the full map?

If you have another section of the map in your inventory, drag it across and combine it. Is that what you mean?

The map is also moveable in close-up view, you can click-hold and drag it if it is slightly off the screen.

Other parts of the map will appear later in the game Ral, have some patience.

I realized after posting that I did tape all the pieces I had.
I need new glasses or new eyes.

hi, thanks for info. on game what link is there for me to see demo?

Disney, have a look HERE

Go down the page some to February 2009 and see the game and the demo.

Chief

Thanks, Chief.

thanks for all your help I found it.

My game keeps freezing when I play the slot machine.
Does someone have a saved game they can send me?
Thanks

And why was thread moved to the discussion forum and not left in the hints forum?

Sending a saved game to you now RAL.

I'm not sure why the thread was moved.

Thanks Rushes

Not working for me.

Please CYE

Thanks

RAL

Thanks, RAL, I got your e-mail.

In my save I've already played the slot machine and won a big heap o' money - check the inventory - so there's no need for you to play anymore. Go straight on and talk to the guy at the counter.

Hello,

I am in the Palace Library and need a saved game after the slider puzzle.

I am not very good at these.

Thanks,

Corny

I just realized what my problem is.
My game doesn't recognize your saved game.

Was this thread moved?

Have you changed the number on both files sent to you?

I changed the number on both files.

CYE, RAL!

Hello,

Boy am I good!! Do not need a save at the slider puzzle. I figured it out.

Thanks anyway,

Corny

Thanks MaG

Before I got your email I went back to my own last saved game and it worked this time. Think it was the way I was putting money into the slot machine. Anyway finally got it to work. Now I'm on my way again.

Glad you figured it out, corny.
And ditto, RAL.

Can't get to the fountain with the inflated tube in time.
And when I inflate it can't seem to pull back fast enough.
Any tricks that I'm missing somewhere.

I didn't have any tricks except for doing minumum of steps and double clicking to run.

Fill the tube with air.
Immediately take inflated tire, pull back, go right to town and run to the fountain. Use the tube in the fountain.
Use the felt tip pen to mark where the hole is located.

please can you send me a save after slider puzzle in palace, I freaked out trying to resolve it, thanks

Good morning.

Not fast enough!
Please, can someone send me a saved game after the tube is marked with the felt pen.

Thanks

RAL

Naida.
It's on the way.


RAL,
I think I sent you the right one. Please check.

Thanks MaG
Got your saves. But have the same problem as last time.
My game won't recognize your saves.

RAL,

CYE - let's try a zipped file. UNzip, renumber and place in folder.
The mail might be changing the files. Keep me posted.

Hi MaG

Did not get an email with zipped file.

Sent it to the other e-mail now. Check please.

Okay got the zip file.
My game still does not recognize your saves.
Guess I'm going to have to get the tube done on my own.

Have you tried scrolling down the list of your saved games. I download a savegame because I was getting the slot machine lock-up. I renumbered it and put it in with my other saves. However, when I ran the game and tried to load it it wasnt at the top of the list as it should have been but at the bottom.

i have been trying for a hour to get the tire marked with the felt pen. i can get to the fountain quick enough but than shes says i got to mark it and the time the tire gets back to inventory it has deflated and cant b marked. can someone send me a saved game to get past the tire. thanks

Help MaG. I believe you have a saved game for the slot machine. My game keeps locking at that point. I would be so grateful if you have.

smitty, I don't have a ready save at this point, hopefully MaG or someone can rescue you here, otherwise I'll go back into my game and play through to make a save.

Moogie, it's on its way, check your e-mail in a few minutes.

smitty,
It's on the way.

Rushes.

Rushes thank you so much; just got it.

I'm stuck in the cemetery. I'm supposed to be able to and it won't let me. I've gone through the walkthrough and can't figure out where I went wrong. Is there something I haven't triggered yet?

You're welcome, Moogie.

Hi tinagoss, have you followed this step from the walkthrough: Open the door of the chapel: Try to open the door and see that it is closed (locked). Look and right click the hole at the base of the posts flanking the door.

thanks so much, I can now continue with the game

Thanks mj2c

The info on your post solved my problem and know I can get on with the game.

Hi Rushes! Yes, I tried opening the door and looked and clicked on both holes. Did I need to talk to anyone else?

Did you study the piece of the map that Louis gave to you? Did you then click on the sign of the chapel door and notice that it has the same image of a skull?

If that doesn't do the trick, might be worth replaying this section by the walkthrough to see if you can catch what's missing.

Darn, forgot to look at the map. Thanks Rushes!!!!

Ahaa!

I'm in trouble - I don't have any aspirin in my inventory.
I did click on the bottle in the dressing room and had some at that point.
How do I get apirin now?

If you used one of our saves - the aspirin should be there.
It is in a packet of several pills.

Found the aspirin.
Now when I try to get over the wall the guard comes along and sits down and I can't get down from the top of the wall.

RAL, do that little trick at the gate again. Then go up the wall and watch the guard go to the gate. Then jump down.

Chief

Hi Chief
How are you?
Tried again - waited until I saw the film can empty itself.
Then I couldn't throw the rope and anchor over the wall.
The first time I did it I threw the rope and anchor before the bell rang.
Guess the ringing of the bell will get the guard back to the gate.
Tomorrow is another day.

RAL

Doing OK RAL. Since you had the rope and anchor over the wall, leave it there. Go back to put some water in the film container and to the gate to redo the aspirine trick.

Of course it all depends if you saved after throwing the anchor.

Hope you are OK also.

Chief

Thanks, Chief.

RAL.

Good morning

I'm stuck again - can someone send me a saved game to get over the wall into the palace.

Thanks

RAL

RAL,

Try this:
1. Try the hook and rope on the break on the wall and she will say she is worried the guard will hear.
2. Do the set up with the aspirin and rock at the gate.
3. Then go back to the break on the wall and wait until you hear the bell ring. This will then cause the guard to go to the gate and leave you free.
4. Then use the hook and rope on the break on the wall.

Then we can try the saved game.

Thanks for your help.
Finally got over the wall.

Great. Enjoy.

I got the newspaper.
Back in basement. Jack won't talk to me. Nicole keeps saying that she has to find something to cut the binds. Do I have to find a knife - if so where?

Edit - finally got Jack to talk to me and I found the keys under the stove

Glad you figured it out.

could I also have a save game for after the tire is inflated ?

Thank you,

Doreen

Hi Doreen,

I have a save immediately after the tyre has been marked (the tricky timed section). The tyre still needs fixing & inflating, but this isn't timed. Would you like this save?

Can't do the slider puzzle

Can someone send me saved game please.

Thanks

On its way, RAL.

yes please Rushes. TYVM

Doreen

Doreen,

It's on the way.

Thank you MaG.

Doreen

You're welcome, Doreen. Enjoy.

I hate to bother you MaG, but in the save you sent me the tire still has not been marked. I renumbered the save and put it into my documents thinking that the tire had been marked, but when I go back to Raul, he tells me that the hole has to be marked. Could you send me a save for after the tire has been marked? Thank you in advance,

Doreen

Doreen,

Look for a saved game that might be older that what you have - it might be in the beginning of the load screen. Keep us posted.

DUH! Just call me STOOPID!!! Your save was 0017.My last save was 0003, so instead of changing it to 0004, I only changed it to 004. I guess I had one of those CRS moments.Everything is fine now. Sorry 'bout that.

Doreen

Glad you found what was wrong! Onward!

Could I also have that save? The one after the timed section. I can't seem to repair the hole. I know how to do it in real life but not in the virtual world. Many thanks.

The save's on its way, Adorable.

Hello,

I was half way through the game when my computer crashed.

Bought a new one. Started the game again and have done everything three times as shown in the walkthrough and still cannot leave the Ballet rehearsing room.

Frustrating

Corny

Hi Corny,

How many photos have you taken? You should have 6. Have you bagged all evidence? Have you taken the fingerprint from the window and taped it to a piece of paper? Does the guard by the door have anything new to say?

Hi Rushes,

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes. However, the guard has nothing new to say.

Corny

---------------------

Hi Rushes,

I have the board,doll, swap with crystals in plastic sleeves,
list of people renting room, 6 pics, sheets of paper, fingerprint on tape and tape in my inventory.

I think I will start over again, again.

Corny

hi mag i also need a saved game after the tire is marked maybe if she had better sports shoes i could make it lol - thanks in advance

The saved game is on the way, lorre.

Hi,

I give up!!

Done everthing again by the walkthrough. Must have a defective
disc.

Corny

Send me that saved game, Corny. I can't promise that I can find out what is wrong.

Hello My game also keeps freezing when I play the slot machine.
Could You send me a saved game after winning money
Thanks

Hi Magdalena, welcome to Gameboomers. I just sent you the save, it should be there momentarily. Good luck.
Kay

Enjoy the game.

Hi all. Glad to be here. I need some help.

My game keeps crashing when trying to put money into the slot machine. Is there a way round this? I have read some of the other posts and have seen people sending their saved points. Would this work for me?
Looking forward to your replies.
Thanks.
Al.

Alan.

I sent you a saved game. See if that works for you.

Thanks MaG i shall give it a try.

Finished the game.
Liked the ending.
Thank you everyone for the help.

RAL

Glad you enjoyed the game, RAL.

thanks for the save mags. how many save slots are there.

There seem to be unlimited save slots, smitty.

Hi MaG,
Been a while but need a saved game right after the slider puzzzle. It's getting to me but I see I'm not alone in that request.

Thanks in advance

Hi Bernd, the save's on its way, check your e-mail in a few minutes.

hi, I just started the game and I'm stuck after I take pictures of body,take the doll on flr,collect cryrstals on face,close swinging window,take picteures of cross mark,and fingerprint,take fingerprint,remove plank,take picture of plank,picture of list of people renting room then I'm suppose to speak to the policeman but when I go to him he says nothing. can someone help me. thanks

Disney, did you tape the fingerprint to a piece of paper yet? Have you bagged all evidence?

i'll check and get back to you. thanks

Hope that's it.

I just finished the game also but- did not liked the ending, I was looking for more I guess.but over all the game was good.

Glad you finished, deleterman.

Not fast enough!
Please, can someone send me a saved game after the tube is marked with the felt pen.

Thanks

---------------

can someone help me I get the tire filled with water but having trouble marking the hole. thanks

---------------

I can't seem to get the key under the stove in the palace can someone help me. thanks

I combined your stacked posts, Disney. Please remember to use the Edit button if you want to add something to a post and if no-one has posted after you. It helps save bandwidth.

Glad you made it through the tyre marking.

To get the key from under the stove - have you taken the newspaper from the table in the main hall? Have you rolled it up tightly so that it will fit under the stove?

hi all

i want to thank you for the help with the tire. now i already found antoine dead. i am tring to put the wheel on the motorcycle. the cap goes on but the wrench i have is too big and i dont have another one.

One of the coins in your inventory might come in handy here, Taxlady.

Rushes, thanks for your help trying to get the key, newspaper is tightly rolled still having trouble. can you tell me which are the slots & can't get newspaper under stove. thanks

They are the gaps between the floor and the stove. I found the key in the gap at the far right side of the stove, but this part is random so you might not find it in the same place. Make sure to right-click this area also, Nicole may comment.

Just to check - did you attempt to enter the locked room upstairs, and have you spoken to Jack about the key?

I checked the two rms. upstairs and the were locked, I spoked to Jack but he didn't say anything about the the key. thanks


I found the slots but when I try to click on them nothing happens, please I need help. I don't know where to click. thanks


Rushes, I got the key what happened was that I checked the rms, upstairs but not the ones downstairs by the guard. thanks

Try talking to Jack again, see if he'll mention the lost key. Otherwise, Nicole won't know that the key might be under the stove and so the game won't allow you to look there.
Did you check both doors near the guard also?

help stuck on puzzle.


stupid me I had the puzzle done and didn't realize there should be a missing piece because I had it in inventory all the time.

Glad you got the key.

Which puzzle are you stuck at - the slider? Do you need a saved game?

thanks Rushes, I did the slider



Just finished game & loved it, can't wait for the next one.

Disney!

MaG, Would you please send me a save for fixing tire. No matter how fast I go (and game will let me pick up tire) after putting tire in fountain, can't seem to use the pen on the tire. Just can't seem to get it. Thank you in advance, if you have a save. Mel22odie

It's on the way, Mel22odie.

In case you didn't receive my PM, I've rechecked and rechecked. Changed your save from 0017 to 0012. I've done everything that I can think of and yet the tire is still unmarked and he isn't speaking to me. Is your save supposed to show her at the fountain and tire unmarked? I have even tried to mark it again and it just doesn't work. Do you have a later save when she goes to get the patch in the garden? or save 0018? Please help for I just can't get it to work. Thanks for all your help, Mel22odie

Mel,

The saves are arranged by dates. Scroll and see if it is in the beginning of the list.

I can't believe it. You were right. I scrolled down the list in the game itself. I was so busy changing and fooling around with my saves, in 2 different places. However, within the game, I thought that the last game would be to the left at the top. Never have scrolled back to the beginning to find the latest save. That sure fooled me. Thanks so much for your patience, time and help. Now I had bettter do something constructive. Thanks again, Mel22odie PS Hope that might help someone else that had my problem.

I have repeatedly tried to open the safe. There is a click after every number until the last one and the safe won't open. Is there ever a misprint of the numbers? I think that I followed the walkthrough's directions carefully. Unless there is something that I am missing, I guess that I will need a save for after the safe opens. I hate to keep asking for a save but almost 2 hours after I tried this puzzle, the safe still won't open. Mel22odie

Clicks doe not mean that it is correct. Mine clicked when wrong also. My last try didn't make any clicks.
There should not be any misprint of numbers since that is a random number shown in the game itself. It is the number under the bull statue.
Check that number and play again.
I have to check if I have a saved game here.

-----
I don't have a saved game here. Send me your saved game, I'll play it for you and see.

You are great. Sent you the saves. Hope that you get it all right. Again, thank you, Mel22odie

I sent it back now. Have fun and

Hi all, I too am having trouble with the slot machine...may I have a saved game after winning please.

It's on the way.

I'm so sorry thst it was so late for you. Hate to say but my e=mail won't let me open the attachments. Apparently the attachments that I sent you were all right but I can't open the ones that you sent back. I tried again using your directions re: safe numbers but still can't get it. Am going to try again. Mel22odie - thank you

You don't open it.
Download it and place it in the folder you got the one you sent to me earlier. I already renumbered this one I sent back.

Great. The different address worked. Couldn't even download the other. Thank you again for he umpteenth time. Mel22odie

Have fun.

I cannot get the tube with air over to the fountain and use the marker. NO CAN DO!!! Would appreciate a save after the marker. Thanks,
Beverly in Boca

On its way, Bevlee, check your e-mail in a few minutes.

Thanks for sending me the saves. I did just what you told me to do, but the saves are not where they are suppose to be. I saved both files to my desktop. and then opened up my documents and dragged both files into the folder. But when I go to the game and look for the saves they are not there. What did I do wrong? Help, please. Beverly in Boca

Did you renumber both files, Bevlee?
Also check by scrolling down to the bottom of the saves in your game load screen - the saves are held in date order so won't be at the top as you'd expect.

Hi MaG, thank you for the save...I am at work at the moment but will check my email when I get home.

I never have any luck on the slots or pokies as we call them in Australia...so had a bit of a laugh when it hung and didnt pay for me!

Well this slot machine will win before your money is used up. If you play long enough - you'll win.

Hi MaG, If only that was true in real life!! As you may have guessed I am at home now, put on the saved game you sent me. Works no problem. Thank you so much.

I was really enjoying this game and now can continue...the guy in the freezer was a bit icky though.

Hahahaha! I was taken aback too. Bring Euros next time you play at an Aussie casino - see what happens.

Yes, I find both saves in my folder and have renumebered them. But when I play the game and go to the saves they are not there. Go figure?????????? Beverly

Scroll to beginning of load screen. They are arranged by dates.

I have checked both beginning and ending saves, and they are not there. I have never had this problem before, so I guess I must not be doing something right. This is what I did: I saved both files to my desktop, and then opened up my game folder and dragged both files from the desktop to the folder just like I always have done. They are there in the folder, but when I go to play the game they are not there in my list of saved games. Both at the beginning nor at the end. Boy Oh Boy I must of really messed up somewhere, can you help me so that I can continue with this great game. thanks for all your help. Beverly

Double check that you renumbered the 2 files while they are on the desktop to have the last number. There should not be any duplicated number in the saved game folder.
Also double check the spaces or cases of the renumbering.
Take those 2 files out of the folder and start over.
The mail should still have the files to be downloaded.

Woe is me!! I started over like you said, and there they sit in my folder, but do not show up in the saves when I play the game. I guess I am hopeless. 'Beverly

Are you placing it in the AOM2 folder in My Documents? I don't understand why it won't work for you.
I'll send you another one - see if you can work with this one.

Also- I don't know if this will help-- but can't hurt.
When I at first saved mine I put save07 when in fact the rest were save004, save005, save006, I went back and changed mine to save007. Again not sure if it would have made any difference-- just a thought-- good luck

Good suggestion, but my last save was save0013, and I changed them to save0014 and save0015. Still nothing. I guess I will have to quit this one. I will give you all my walk through and see if what I am doing is wrong ok?
The saves come in the mail, I download and save it to the desktop. On the desktop, I right click on each file and change the names to save0014 and save0015. I then open up my documents and click and open art of murder file. I then drag the two files from the desktop over to the open file. Open up my game and go to the load game and the saves are not there. HELP, PLEASE!!
Beverly

Ah - that's it.
Those 2 files sent to you make one saved game.
They should have the same number as shown by the original number on them. One is for data and one is for picture.
So they should be both save0014.

Thanks for the help. Nothing seems to work.I will just keep trying to fix that flat tire, and hope for the best.

Did you change the number to be the same number for both files?

Yes I did.

I'm sorry, Bevlee. I don't know why it isn't working for you.

Hi MaG, might be better just to stay away from the pokies altogether.

That might be right!

I don't understand why my saves don't work. I am following the walkthrough that is posted on the forum by Malcom. Oh well, I will keep trying to get that tire to the fountain anyway. Thanks for trying. Beverly

Follow the procedure Rushes sent to you and what has been posted on the forum. Each game has some quirks.

Bevlee, this is what I would try next-- I would make a file on my desktop and I would go into my game file and go to the save folder =_ would move them ALL into the file I just made on my desk top. I would then start the game over--- and save it once. Then I would take the saves that you were sent and rename them save002.
and then start the game and look for them-- that way you would know for sure that they were not hiding somewhere-- can't hurt- if it still doesn't work simply go back to your file on the desk top and put the files back in-- after taking out save001 and save002 that you just saved.

I am in Taines' apartment and can"t get the locker to move nor the wrench to break the plaster. I did as the walkthru said but it didn't work. Someone help!

carlahelp

It might not work if you have not finished everything in the main apartment. Once you are in the secret room, you can not come back again.
Be sure that you have checked everything on the work desk and have collected evidence.

THANK YOU MAG. I didn't have the fingerprint on the cup. You are the best.

Wonderful! Enjoy the game.

Me again. Why do you have to win at the slot machine to get money when you have already gotten it from the fountain?

carla

The fountain will only give you a few Euros plus a lot of other useless currency. You need to play the slots in order to win enough cash to pay the photo developing fee. Keep playing the slots, eventually you will win a payout.

Hello.
I was wondering if anyone has a save for the slider puzzle.

Thanks

On its way, barlouwin, check your e-mail in a few minutes.

Hey ya'll,

I am stuck on the slider puzzle and was going to ask for a save but I can't find my saved games to find out what number I need. Can someone tell me how to find them in my files?

Thanks,

carlahelp

carla,

Please don't jump from one thread to another. Thanks.
Are you using Vista? Check the 'If you post Hints' thread at top of the page - you'll find somedetails for looking for saves in Vista.
If you're using XP - they are in My Documents folder.

I am sorry. I didn't mean to jump threads. I just clicked the first one I came to. I found it now in My Documents. Could you send me an unzipped save by e-mail like you did last time with explanation of how to add it?
Thank you very much.

carla

I forget to tell you my last save is 0020.aom

It's on the way and already renumbered.
Download to desktop and place the 2 files in the save folder in My Documents.
Play-load as usual.

The saves worked like a charm. Thanks MaG. Now I can't get the rickshaw to do anything. I have the filled waterbag and the radiator cap. Tried to get the battery and use the rickshaw but no go. What do I do or what have I missed. Appreciate your help.

carla

carla, go to the car that has the dead battery and click left and right to get some comments. Go to the other car near the rickshaw and also left click and right click to get a comment about the fact that it is heavy. This way you will be able to use the rickshaw.

I pressed left and right mouse to be sure not to miss anything.

Good luck.

Chief

Could I please have a saved game for the tire at the fountain. I get the tire in the fountain but can not find the hole. Appreciate a save from you.
Thank you

Eileen,

Saved game sent.

Thanks, Chief -

Thanks Chief. Now I can't get the wedge belt from Manuel. He says "take it" but it doesn't show up in my inventory. I thought I missed something so I started from my last save and redid it. Still didn't get the belt.

Thamks,

carla

If Manuel doesn't automatically give you the belt, is it anywhere close to him to pick up?

Hi everyone,

The slider puzzle in the library is driving me boonkers. I hate this types of puzzles. Can someone send me a save for the slider puzzle? I really would appreciate it.

Thanking you in advance.

Hi marie,

The save's on its way, check your e-mail in a few minutes.

Carlahelp, the belt is hanging on the wall to the left of where that stick was-- you need to click on it-- look close it is not obvious

Thanks, Winfrey.

I got the belt and now at the tomb. I need to talk to Louis but all I get is clue when talking to him. What next? Do I need to do something else with the key and the map?

carla

Have you been back to the apartment already and taken the dagger?
Did Louis give you a piece of the map yet? Right-click and examine it in inventory. Then try to find the chapel.

I have got to the chapel, did the dagger and key things with the map found the red lines and that's it. I talk to Louis and keep getting clue in the inventory part. What now?

I found out what I needed to do. Finished the game. Thanks to all who helped me.

Carlahelp

Good for you, I still can't get out of the hall at the beginning of the game. I keep getting this " maybe I should look more " I've got 6 pictures, swab w/crystals in plastic sleeve, ditto doll and board, have even determined what note is played on piano. I've gone through this from the beginning about six times, what am I doing wrong? I've read and followed the wt, still stuck. very frustrating. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks. Marqoz

Did you exhaust all conversations with the police officer Marqoz?

Hello,

Had computer problem and had to restart game. First time around I completed the slider puzzle in the library. However, this time no such luck.

Need a saved game after completion of the puzzle.

Thanks,

Crony

Glad you finished the game, Carla, hope you enjoyed it.

marqoz, have you taped the fingerprint to a piece of paper? Also make sure to right-click on all items in your inventory to see if Nicole will comment on any of them, then speak to the guard again.

corny, the save's on its way, check your e-mail in a few minutes.

Yes, I lifted the print off of the window after applying the graphite from the crushed pencil, took photo also. Have looked at everything in inventory, all secure. I only had 2 conversations with the guard, when I talked to him last I got the comment about copying everything, so I took all the photos of the evidence. Now, he won't talk to me, and I can't leave the hallway. Thanks for your tips, I'm off to bed now. I must be missing a sequence or something, I can't find anything else to do. Grrr.......Marqoz

Did you examine the fusebox in the hall and spoken to the guard about it? Did you right-click the shattered mirror behind the danseuse, and the hooks in close-up view? Check also that you've taken all items from the middle and right drawers of the desk.

I recieved your e-mail re saved game for slider. I also read the instructions. However, I still don't know how to renumber the files or copy and paste the files across into the document folder. I am using Vista.

If I'm on the wrong thread let me know. I just started the game and can't get out of the murder scene. I checked the walkthru and have pictures, fingerprints, board, crystals and list. Seems like I must be missing somthing. Can someone point me to the discussion on the first part? Thanks in advance...

Nancy, have a look at the previous posts of Rushes just before yours. She gives some info on what you may have miss.

Good luck.

Chief

Thanks Chief, I will check it out. I do have six pictures but nothing in the journal.

I got it!!!! I forgot to tape the fingerprint to the sheet. Thanks you guys.

Great Nancy. On with the game.

And do not forget to hit that edit button to add a comment if nobody posted after you. Thanks.

Chief

I am having trouble renumbering the saves for slider. I went to my document folder for Hunt for the Puppeteer and saw other saves. Now now do I renumber the saves from e-mail I downloaded
and add it to the other saves. Sorry to be such a dumb-dumb, but I truely don't know how to do this. Other people seems to have no problem. I also read the hints for downing loading and saving for Vistas, it still does not help me. I need step by step directions. Thank you so much for all your help

Download the files to desktop.
You check the last number in the folder in My Documents.
Then you renumber the downloaded files at desktop to be the last number.
Then - take those renumbered ones and palce it with the rest of the saved game in My Documents.
Close all folder.
Play-load as usual.
Scroll on load screen at start of the list - to look for the saved game

I have my own 'thread' for this game but see here (so many pages!) that several have requested the saved game for just after ~ marking the tire/tyre in Spain ~ Could you please send that save to me too? Thanks Mag, Rushes, etc.
Love, Betty Lou

The save's on its way, Betty Lou.

Dear Rushes, I just re-read your reply, and immediately taped the fingerprint to the paper. Bingo, that was it, same as Nancy, sorry to be a bother. On with the game, but I'll probably be back, seems like there are a LOT of postings. Let's all hear it out there for Gameboomers Forums, you gamers!! Hip-hip-hoooRAY!!! Thanks again, Marqoz

Glad you figured it out, marqoz. Have fun with the rest of the game.

Hi would you please send me a saved game after that ol slider puzzle. Thanks, Beverly in Florida

Hi Bevlee,

It's on its way.

Thank you for the save. Now I can find out what's going on in Cuba. Beverly in Florida.

You're welcome. Enjoy Cuba.

Chris

Hi Chris,

The save's on its way, check your e-mail in a few minutes.

Rushes
Thank you so much but as usual i have problems
with saved games ,so I kept trying to do it by
myself and lo and behold i did it. so again
thanks so much and I think i may try another save
when I come to the slider but i'll worry when I get
there.
Chris

You're welcome, glad you got the save to work for you. Have a go at the slider when you reach it, you may find it easier than you think.

Rushes
I really tried to do the puzzle was close
but no cigar. Could you please send me a saved
game thank you so much.
Chris

The save's on its way, Chris.

Hi Rushes
Here I go again I received the save game
and did changed the numbers place them in the proper
spot, looks ok.but it doesn't work .
Question did I have to copy and paste?
Or just place them in my game folder?
Sorry Thank you Chris

Make sure that they both have the same number, to follow on from the current last save in your folder. i.e. save0012.png and save0012.aom. One is an image file and the other is the data file, so they need to be numbered the same.

Once you've renumbered them, copy and paste the files into your game folder along with all your other saves. Or you can drag & drop - whichever works best for you.

Edit: You'll also need to scroll right to the beginning of your saves within the load screen to find the ones that I sent to you, as they are displayed in date order.

Rushes
Thats what i did I did change both
and when I look at my folder it looks correct,
If my last save was 0024 I change the new save to 0025.
The 0025.aom is listed before the other 0025.
Is that correct? Thank you
Chris

.

Yes, that's right. From your in-game load screen did you scroll all the way down to see if the new save is at the bottom?

You were soooo right thats where
it was. Thank ou for all your help.
i really appreciate it.
Chris

You're welcome. Glad you found it!

I get the tire to the fountain in time (I think); the problem seems to be the marking pen

help!!

I have tried both ways here and they work:
- tire in water and then take the pen and click on tire in water.
- Or click on tire in inventory with marking pen.

Ah - do you mean you don't have the marking pen? It is on the desk of the antiquarian.

i surrender!!!!!!!

please send saved game sequence

thanks in advance

Hi georgeana,

The save's on its way, check your e-mail in a few minutes.

O.K. I foound pages 15 & 16 maybe it was that someone ekse was using them.....?????? pressed again and it finally worked...gremlins thankyou....
Game...I cannot get him to speak to me about belt or stick and
I have redone sequensce a number of times...any suggestions...Mavis....

Hi Mavis,

Click on the stick to try to take it - Manuel will stop you, but that's the trigger for asking to borrow it later on.

Make sure to click on the left side of the grinding machine so that Nicole notices that the machine needs a new belt to work properly.

, let us know if you still have problems.
