The rats

[TomCaT]

спасибо, интересно кто-то не поленился, такого даже на WoS нет, там только текстовичок... но текст по сути совпадает, и, конечно, солюшена квестам там нету
АУ! Англичане! Нужна помощь, может кто-то пройти снапшот от 2016.06.12 так, чтобы ГГ не погиб?

Интересный нюанс: судя по мануалу, после того, как будет обнаружено, откуда берутся крысы, начинается последний и главный квест по ликвидации причин и последствий. Но мануал также предупреждает, что если к тмоу моменту крысы не будут зачищены в соответствующем районе, то пройти этот квест шансов будет мало если это не просто слова мануала (как бывало, например, с Elite), то стратегическая часть имеет куда более ощутимую связь с тактической. Напрмер, при приближении крыс к штабу (GHQ, на карте значок "атомной энергии") может запуститься квест про Фоскинса, при приближении к лабораториям - квест про биолога с его газом и вирусами, и еще там на карте - квартира Гарриса, тоже со своим квестом. Не могут ли и эти квесты запускаться, так сказать, на уровне сложности "невыполнимо", если на карте крыс туда подпустили в большом количестве? Очень интересно бы знать, так это или нет, кто проходил за Фоскинса, или кто может - сообщите, пожалуйста.

"In the second adventure in the role of Henry the shop owner, if you stay in the anteroom too long, the game crashes"

+несколько советов

Скрытый текст

At the start of the game, allocate each four scientists to the areas "Origin" and "Nature". The two others on "Offense" and "Defense". Right after the second adventure part, turn around this distribution.

Instantly catch the swarms of rats that get close to the border of the map with task forces.

Choosing REPORT before and after an operation raises the chances of success, same as the use of big and fully equipped forces.

Whether the game is ended prematurely depends on several factors as e.g. the number of rats at the border of the map, the number of successful operations and the ressources left as well as the number of survived adventures.

Almost all characters in the adventures need to be brought into direct contact with the rats and then brought into safety, to be able to gain any insights that speed up the research. In case of Keogh, however, this means that you need to let him get bitten and let him die from the consequences of the rat bite.

As Henry the shop owner, instantly go into the cellar and take fligh through the sewers.

As Harris on the cemetery, wait until the colleague has been eaten by the rats, then pick up the cage, put the chewing rat from the open grave inside it, pick up the car keys and then clear out before the cemetery gets completely overrun.

In the underground station flee into the attendant's hut and hide in the closet.

The episode with the bar seems to be a preprogrammed death trap: you'd best leave immediately.

In the cinema go to the toilet during the movie and escape through the window.

In the laboratory put on the protective suit and make chloric gas.

Later adventures can - depending on the location on the map - even get impossible when rats have already spread too much.

Тексты квеста запакованы, поэтому сложно понять, глядя на ОЗУ, в чем там дело

You are engulfed by a bristling wave of black bodies.
You are bitten.
You split the rat's skull open. Its body stiffens and then goes limp.
You missed.
Sharp claws rake your chest and  razor-like fangs burrow into you.
A single monster rat sits gnawing a thick grey strand of intestine beside the corpse.
The lift is coming.
Fourth floor.
Third floor.
Second floor.
First floor.
Ground floor.
The rat waits, tensed and quivering.
Basement! The door opens.

The ventilation shaft is open.
A grill covers the ventilation shaft.
There is a lift at the end of the corridor, with the  half-eaten corpse of a soldier lying in front of it.
The door is closed.
A slick black mass of rats floods into the room.
You hear noises coming from the corridor.
You dive inside and close the doors. You're safe now.
The rats are gnawing through the door.
The rats are nearly through the door.
You hear scrabbling noises coming from the ventilation shaft.
You can hear scrabbling noises coming from back along the shaft.
You can hear scrabbling noises.
The shaft is filled with an awful screeching.
An awful screeching comes from the ventilation shaft.
A slick black river of vermin pours out of the ventilation shaft.
You are Foskins, the Under-Secretary of State.
The lights go out. The speaker above the door crackles, "...into the corridor...we'll get to...hold on Sir...",
The emergency lights come on.
You are in the control room.
You are in  the ventilation shaft.
You are in the  corridor.

Огромное спасибо!

Сразу много выводов:
1) Никогда не читал отчеты - не было времени. А тут пишут, что использование REPORTS повышает вероятность успеха операций у расставляемых сил. Вот уж сюрприз. Что удивительно, так это редкая продуманность взаимосвязей для того года, вот например, чтоб заставить игрока читать отчеты.
2) Предполагал, что успешные квесты - это с выжившими персонажами. И хотя это подтверждается в советах, найденных goodboy, там же говорится, что прямой эффект на исследования квест мальчика Keogh оказывает в случае, если его укусят (так как квест ранний, то это неизбежная гибель).
3) Возможно, что исследования болезни, передаваемой при укусе, можно провести и без того, просто медленне... Возможно - нет. Похоже, квест Фоскинса непроходим без обнаружения средств борьбы с болезнью, как в случае снапшота выше. Здесь нет текста про удачное попадание из винтовки, вероятно, следует убить крысу врукопашную и спуститься на лифте, невзирая на укус.
4) Еще раз подтверждается, что некоторые квесты могут стать непроходимыми, если крыс в данном районе слишком много. Не похоже, что это именно такой случай, т.к. главную проблему представляет одна большая крыса, и, судя по текстам, она на основном пути прохождения квеста, т.е. это не та толпа крыс, которая мешала бы, если бы ошибка была на стратегической карте... В любом случае, нужно переигрывать и исследовать болезнь, а потом ждать, когда еще выпадет такой же квест, иначе дело яснее не станет.

А самое главное - как удалось добыть тексты? Исправлять управление, может быть, и не обязательно, это не непроходимая аркада, и привыкнуть можно даже к такому. А вот перевод на русский все еще в планах.

[goodboy]

как удалось добыть тексты?

распаковку я не-осилил (похоже там не слоги, а скорее часто встречающиеся расположения букв)

Y
ou a
re
 i
n 
the p
a
rk
.

поэтому просто вызывал все предложения по-порядку.

тексты перевести на-русский вполне реально, надо только забыть про оригинальную компрессию и применить свой подход.
сложнее с командами для выбора (точнее с длиной слов). вроде максимум шесть букв
выводить вместо "USE" - "ИСП." мне совсем не-нравится
