DETECTIVE STORY: tweaked French version and brand-new English version!

[retroric]

Having played it a bit now, I'm really enjoying it .. Only issue is the whole (T)ake/(D)rop interface was confusing and I ended up driving all over town until I realized how to 'input' take/drop instructions ..

Hi ibisum, and thanks for your feedback.
Yes, the Take/Drop system is a bit confusing at first, and you only get 'confirmation' of what you've got in your inventory after you pocketed 2 items.
Anyway, in case of doubt you can press I to show your inventory.

and it would be cool if it were possible to interrupt the text with a keypress, when you know what you wanna do next ..

Now, allowing for the interruption of text being displayed would be quite complicated to implement and may cause players to miss important info... not to mention it may cause additional bugs

By the way, I updated Oric.org with a transfer I mande from Jean's tape in... 2006!

Symoon,

There is also a duplicate, empty entry for DETECTIVE STORY here, wrongly attributed to ERE Informatique, which should be deleted:

I stumbled on it after searchig "oric.org detective story" in Google and getting this hit:
https://www.oric.org/index.php?page=sof ... m_log=1362

The correct page for the game is of course https://www.oric.org/software/detective_story-1363.html

Well spotted.
You should ask Jede; I don't have the rights to delete things!

... it would greatly help me if you could send me the original (Microsoft Word ?) editable document ...

Here it is

Edit1 : In a second time, I also found the EXCEL 97 file with originals tables

Thank you very much for the files Dom! I'll start working on the translation ASAP but first I have three prioriy tasks:

1. compare the new game .tap file uploaded by Symoon with the prvious one I based my work on, and check if there are corrections I need to carry over to my version
2. correct remaining bugs in my tweaked French and English versions
3. translate the Instructions part (intro.tap) I missed
