Portland Freedom Trail B
played
In Portland for the afternoon to catch a ferry the next day. What a great treat to have a tour guide cartridge. I have made a few cartridges myself. This one could be lots of fun and thanks for taking us around the city. I think it is a little over kill with all the questions and the split cartridges. In fact the questions at each zone got progressively more mind numbing that I was getting a little crabby and didn’t pay attention on question #12 (I didn’t know it was this question at the time) and missed it so at the end I didn’t get the completion or the cache coords. No worry, I just hacked in the file and quickly found the answers (yellow? we saw red). I think this cartridge goes overboard trying to stop armchair completions. Why go through all this just to stop people from logging a find or completion, if they want to hack the file and get the cheat codes, let them , what do they get out of it? Nothing. As you can see, I did it quickly. We loved the tour and the city.
For the CW:
1) I downloaded both cartridges from the web site and the second download tried to overwrite the first. Had to rename.
2) I saved the cartridge then turned the Colorado off while eating dinner and when I tried to resume it crashed. Gave an error cannot remember what. However, I had to start over again. As an experiment, I saved and closed the wherigo but kept the Colorado on and it did resume.
3) Zone 11 question has a confusing blurb about the railing
4) Zone in part A (cannot remember which) ask about a colored number. There is a no green 2 and no black 11. There is a green 11 and a green one patch that looks like it could have once been a green two.
5) At the end it showed we did not answer zone 11 but did give us a check answer. A little confused and I thought this was why we did not get the completion. It was not we had a wrong answer.
I hope the CW does not take this the wrong way because I would want to know about bugs in my programs and I really think all the questions distract from the goal of this cartridge. I mean seriously, what it is about. The freedom trail or the “No parking” sign. Sent completion.
