You must not have been in a good position when you tried the summoning 
charm, because it does in fact work. I'd stand right in front of the closed 
door or as close to it as you can get, and try the charm from there. It does 
work. I've done it.
It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you with no place to go.

 HI all
 I found an easy way to escape filch. When you get to the caretaker's 
 office
 and you press enter to open the door, the moment you hear the door opening
 immediately aparate to the broom cupboard. If you then go to the 
 caretaker's
 office again the door will be open and if you are on your broom you can 
 then
 go into the caretaker's office and take the map. Someone on the list said
 you should use the achio spell but that didn't worked at all for me
 Phil, I found a bug in Sarah. This only happens if filch captures me. I
 can't remember that it happened when my 20 minutes is over. Btw when your 
 20
 minutes is over filch also captures you but then you will not hear Sarah's
 father and the game will exit completely whereas if filch captures you
 before the time runs out due to Sarah not on her broom, then you will hear
 Sarah's father and you will get the high scores standing list and if you
 type in initials and press enter or you press escape you will then hear 
 the
 PCS theme logo, the Sarah theme song, etc. and you will get the main menu.
 The bug that I encountered is: when filch captures me before the time runs
 out I press escape all right? Then I hear the PCS logo, I press control 
 till
 I'm in the menu again. When I then select start game and select easy and 
 yes
 for training mode  I wait until I hear Sarah says entrance hall. I know 
 what
 Phil said: you shouldn't press any keys   until Sarah says:  entrance 
 hall.
 But then when I press w Sarah says office and there's no way I can get out
 of there. Regardless of which movement keystroke I Press, Sarah collides
 with a wall and if I press shift+d there's nothing that can be detected. 
 I'M
 supposed to be on the front door mat but I'm in  an office at the start of
 the game and there's no exit. So my only way out is to aparate and then I
 can go out of the broom cupboard and I can continue game play.
 Has any one encountered this? AS I say, this only happens if I start a 
 game
 from the main menu after Phil has captured me before the time ran out.
 Also, I noticed when I'm near the caretaker's office I hear something like 
 a
 scissor cutting paper. It must be a creature because if I press spacebar, 
 I
 hear the sound that a creature is behind me and if I press spacebar that
 behind sound stops, but when I press d no creature is detected.

Hi,

First, I got the same thing a few times when restarting the game (so I don't 
know for sure if that was due to some catches).
And then, can you explain why you would go to the broom cupboard and then go 
all the way back as you can easily open the door when you're already in 
broom-mode? Note that I haven't played this game that much, so if I'm 
missing something, well, sorry!

I'm aparated to the broom cupboard and I can go back to filch' office on my
broom and I can get the map without him catching me. Later on after I have
sent this post, I noticed that it doesn't always works. Sometimes filch
captures me after I have aparated and  this is not due to the time running
out.
Then I said that when I  start a game after filch  has  captured me I'm in

otherwise I'm stuck; I can go no where; there's no exit.

Re: [Audyssey] way of escaping filtch and bug found

2007-03-31 Thread Phil Vlasak
Hi Lukas,
I did put a lot of empty classrooms in the game and some of them have 
magical items, so that is why I put the item counter on each floor.
If you notice the counter should give you a different count on most floors.
Usually I put a door on the more important rooms so if you hear a snoring 
sound chances are you need to check the room out behind it.
I think you have been so used to Shades Of Doom that something different is 
harder to get used to , but if I put all of the SOD features in I fear 
people would say the game was too much like SOD.

 Hi Nicol,
 that sound at Filch's office is coming from behind the door.
 h

 n
 t
 There is an item somewhere in the basement that, if activated, will reveal
 the sound to you.
 By the way, if you're gonna order the full game, you'll probably find the
 later floors even more confusing at first.
 I've already gotten to the third floor but that's just because I found the
 doors by random and they let me through even when I haven't found most of
 the objects. It would be a bit more pleasant if certain rooms weren't that
 large or if there were more orientation signs, or perhaps the ability to
 place a marker like in SOD.
 Thanks,
 Lukas
