Hello astharot and welcome.

See at my download page, there is a patch for the "kid faces"-bug available.

[astharot]

Thanks crystal, i try the patch but not work... the patch ask me a file named patch.rtp but this file not exist... maybe i wrong when i use it? you have tested it?
Thanks boy for your support!!

[Crystal]

Interesting. Never got reports about a non-working patch. I'm not able to patch the game, too. The patch_01.dat must be extracted but I can't at the moment. This will take some time to find it out if nobody else can help here.

To save time, pack your savegame as ZIP or RAR and load it up as an attachment in your next post. I will fix it by hand.
Or upload it somewhere else where I can get your savegame from.

Tell me your version number of Star Trail. You can read it by pressing both Shift-Keys in the first line of the dos console. To exit the console simply press enter or type EXIT to return back in game.

hello crystal, i insert my savegame of bladeof destiny, startrail that i use is version 2.00 english. thanks for your support. Greetings from Rome Ermanno

Hello astharot.

Here's your new savegame. To see my fix, start Star Trail and load my savegame once more. Star Trail saves in two different savegames: your savegame and in the file "LASTGAME" located in the GAMES-directory. This LASTGAME-file will be loaded when you start Star Trail next time.
LASTGAME has the old version with kid faces, so you must load the savegame once more to see the new version with the mature faces.

I have tested my work and I can see no children anymore. Have fun!

p.s.: Don't forget to change the game mode from "Novice" to "Advanced". Press the F3 key to open the options menu. With the advanced game mode you are able to skill your heroes on your own. In novice mode the game itself does it for you.

Actualy there is:

but after the trilogy never program it is created in arkania world?

You mean if there are more games in this game world? Yes, 12 years after "Shadows over Riva" there is a new game named
"The Dark Eye: Drakensang". Release was in 2008! Available for XP and Vista.

It's the same world but in another location. For more infos see -> http://www.drakensang.com

The Dark Eye computer games we know of so far:

1. Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny (1992)
   
2. Realms of Arkania: Star Trail (1994)
   
3. Realms of Arkania: Shadows over Riva
   
4. LMK (Lady, Mage and Knight) (discontinued, later became Divine Divinity)
   
5. Armalion (discontinued, later became Sacred)
   
6. The Dark Eye: Drakensang (2008)
   
7. The Dark Eye: The River of Time (coming soon)
   
8. Demonicon (coming soon)
   

The Dark Eye is also a popular offline RPG in Germany.
"Spirit of Adventure" is similar to "Blade of Destiny", but is set in another world.
There are some games for cell phones, too.

EDIT: The order of Demonicon and River of Time has been swapped due to a special request, although Demonicon was announced first.

I would change positions of Demonicon and River of Time, because Demonicon is said to be released in 2011, River of Time will be released early 2010. At least that's the plan.

LMK (Lady, Mage and Knight) (discontinued, later became Divine Divinity)

That's common misconception: The Lady, the Mage and the Knight (German title: Legenden der Magierkriege) only used the same isometric game engine. That's all that it has in common with Divine Divinity. You can check out LMK artwork in the profolio of Larian's Marian Arnold (here).

Also your list is not complete there were at least two more that never came out. The fourth game by Attic, rumours had a pen and paper writer (Bernard Hennen) and a city (Al'Anfa) attached to it and a Gyldenland Multi-User-Dungeon that was supposedly canceled before it even was announced when the dot-com-bubble burst. There are hints that it also lead to the creation of Chromartix (the TDE cellphone and browser game company).

I have the same problem with the "kid faces" bug. It would be awesome if you can help me with the hex editing of my savegame. Ill attach my "final save game from BoD.

[Crystal]

Hello and welcome to the boards, Darabka.

Please attach your imported savegame from Star Trail, I don't need that one from Blade of Destiny. Pack it as ZIP or RAR file and upload it. I'll take a look about that problem.
Btw, I have changed the board language for your convenience into English.

[Darabka]

Thanks I appretiate the help. Actually we can speak German too. I just thought in this section it would be appropiate to write in english. Anyway here is the ST savegame.

Hrmph!!! , it is not allowing me to add my savegame, which is wierd since it allowed it with my BoD Savegame. Any sugestions?

[Crystal]

As I said, only ZIP or RAR files please. GAM files will be denied from the board, as they consume too much webspace.

[Darabka]

Okay Ill try again.

[Crystal]

Here we go. All heroes are now adults again. Load my savegame once more after you started Star Trail to see the correct faces.

Note: Change the game mode from "Novice" to "Advanced". Press herefor the F3-key to open the options menu and click the button on the bottom of that page. Exit by clicking the right mouse button or press the ESC-key on your keyboard.

Enjoy.

[Darabka]

Thanks it is working!!!
