Default Hypersquare - Help thread

Hi everybody!

Here you can get help with installing and getting psiko's Hypersquare to run, and when getting stuck while playing the game.

For info on further progress on the development of the game you can check this thread: Hypersquare - All Seasons: Work Plan


Anyway, please use this help thread when getting stuck in Hypersquare, instead of the other thread.


Hypersquare homepage
- download the game here (download all six .rar files!)
- navigate through the website with the arrow keys (AOD style menu. )
- After downloading, unpack the part1.rar and the rest will automatically unpack.


Known issues:
- slow down of the game after reloading multiple times. This is TRNG related and can not be fixed by the builder.
- Antivirus software might see the tomb4.exe as a threat. This is a false positive! There's nothing wrong with the file!

thank you Titak, I wouldn't have written a better topic myself

xtimz, thank you, even if direct links can't be counted on download counters, lol XD
anyhow, that site is going to be updated in the next hours. I think admins are going to add mouse control, for those who haven't played AoD and don't recognize the ring menu on that site, and MAYBE the mouse control on the 3d icons, so you can rotate them and inspect them once they are magnified most importantly, the rest of the content which is already written since september (XD ) will be uploaded too

Default I can't see FMVs.

Hello and thank you psiko! for such an wonderful adventure!
But I'm in trouble with FMVs.

To tell the truth, I played HyperSquare released in 2014,
and gave it up with monkeyswing with fire of Saint Mark's Square.
At that time I saw all FMVs while playing.
But this time I saw only one fmv that is Fmv4.mpg, and a few HELP lara's monitors.

I collected all ingredients for Pizza, Compound for Pizza,
so I placed the 'Pizza Ready to be Fired' on the baking furnace.
After some moments, the appetizing Pizza came out of a kiln.
I combined the pizza with the whisky cream to make the 'Complete Meal for Psiko'.
But nothing happened...
Fmv10.mpg did not stream, so I don't have the CD-ROM.

I read "if you have problems with FMVs.txt", and download "K-Lite Codec Pack 14.1.0 Standard".

While installing:

Hardware Acceleration
 
Decoding Method
"Use software decoding" was chosen by default.
I clicked pull down menu and chose "LAV Video - NVIDIA CUVID", and I got following red message.↓

We storongly recommend to use DXVA2 (copy-back) or D3D11VA instead of CUVID.
Those are more reliable and efficient.

So I chose "LAV Video - DXVA2 copy-back".

File Associations:

I checked "Windows Media Player (x64)".

File Associations for Windows Media Player (x64)
Video file extensions
:

I checked ".mpg".


And installation has been completed.
But still I can't see "Fmv10.mpg"...

after the installation, you have to reload a savegame before you combined the meal, or the fmv won't play as it is already "too late" to enable it... this means you have to bake the pizza again and combine it with the whisky cream.. if you don't have a slightly previous savegame anymore, let me send you a savegame from an earlier of yours, I'll play it for you till before the baking, or I can send you one of my own, if you don't mind

edit: btw, just to be sure, are you playing it maximized, so not in windowed mode, am I right?

Yes, I reload a savegame before combining the meal, and baked the pizza again.
But Fmv10.mpg did not stream.

No, I'm playing HS in windowed mode.

If you send me a savegame of having the CD-ROM, I am very glad!
I definitely want to play your HS till the end this time.

send me your savegame at psiko@tin.it before combining the meal
try to see if in maximized mode you still have problems with fmvs. Fmvs are important, they activate things in game, so you need to be able to watch them
