Space Quest IV Beta
Debug Keys
By Beamer
THG's release of Space Quest 4 is a beta version which still
contains Sierra's debugging code. A few of these functions have
always seemed to survive in many of the released versions of
Sierra's software, but never have we been treated to the number
of functions available in this release. Following are the
functions I have discovered and my attempt at interpreting them.
Alt A gives current status of Ego (Ego is the main character)
Alt B displays "Script .943 not found" and exits to DOS (???)
Alt C display changes to the Priority bands. These are the
rough areas which control the priority of objects to
each other. Hit Alt C again to return to game screen.
Alt D Debug on/off toggle. This has many commands of it's own,
most of which are probably the same as the Alt commands.
I haven't experimented with this enough to speak of.
Alt E Gives info on available objects. The objects displayed
vary according to where you are.
Alt F Gives available memory parameters
Alt G Allows you to change variable values, if you know the
variable names.
Alt I This is one of the better ones. It displays all the
possible inventory items and lets you get anything you
want. Just click on anything, or everything, you want!
Remember though, getting things this way can cause the
program to behave in strange manners.
Alt M Adds 20 buckazoids to your bankroll. Good when you HAVE
to buy that hintbook at the mall and haven't used Alt I
for a bank card.
Alt N This is used to save bug reports (for the code jockeys
to decipher).
Alt P Another screen mode, similar to the Alt C screen. I
haven't deciphered the difference. To exit this screen,
hit Alt C twice.
Alt R Gives the room number and additional info for the
current room. Use these in conjunction with Alt T.
Alt T Another biggie. Teleports you to any room (screen) you
like. If the room number you enter does not exist, you
get dumped back to DOS. Here are just a few valid room
numbers:
25 to 115, in increments of 5, are the rooms you
begin Space Quest in. Room 72 is the manhole.
410 Skate-O-Rama
391 Software store
371 Clothes store
390 Radio Shock
385 Monolith Burger
375 Arcade
340 being tortured by 2 luscious babes
150 Roger Jr. in the ray
610 Bar from Space Quest 1
535 Docking bay on first planet
Alt W displays "Script .948 not found" and exits to DOS (???)
Alt Y Allows input of "vanishing" variable.
Alt Z Exits to DOS
So, enjoy and have fun.
