Codename Iceman - Removing Restore Limit During Dice Game.

[Tawmis]

I am almost done with the dice game segment - but something happened today that I had not taken into account.

I was half way through the game (got the bottle and most of the money), saved and quit to take a break.

When I restored, he mentions, "You wouldn't be restoring to try and cheat me, would you?"

It counted coming back and starting from there as a Restore Attempt!

And if you consider you need to win the bottle, the money and the gadget... the game goes on for a very long time.

(And granted you DO NOT have to do this... you can get the bottle in the ocean... and the gadget some other way, if I remember...)

While I get the Restore counter and such - but considering how long the game goes, like many things in Codename: Iceman it impedes the game rather than adds to it.

I was looking at the SCIViewer thingie (3.0) - and opened up Codename Iceman and was wondering if anyone else attempted to locate where that Restore counter is?

I assume it's in 377 - because Script and text are both related to that.

LOL! I want to scream - but I end up laughing because the dice game is maddening!

He had ONE five. ONE.

I had three sixes. Rolled. Got one more six.

He says, "Let me see what I can roll."

And rolls 4 other 5's.

LOL

This bastage is cheating! No one is that lucky!

Either that, or the laws of probability are in his favour. 'Twas a good roll, wasn't it, sir?

Is that normal in this game (i.e. that this guy always wins)?

No, it's very much chance. I've already beat him for all three items (again) for my playthrough.

Now I am on to the first combat in the sub... Which is sort of the easier of the two.

Second one is where I'd been stuck at forever, when I originally got it. (I had not realized only certain missiles work on the second ship - just another way this game tries to dead end you).
