QFG1VGA color bug

Post by Maxor127 »

Quest for Glory 1 VGA for DOS has an ugly bug where the stat screen shows purple pixels at night. Any way to fix this? I finally got the Mac version working and can confirm that it doesn't have that problem. However, it's probably caused by how everything including the sprites and interface turn a darker at night on the PC version, while in the Mac version, it looks like the background is the only thing that turns darker. But, I was using an experimental alpha build of an emulator, so it might not have been emulating properly, but based on my memory, I don't remember the character sprites turning darker at night. It makes sense for the sprites to turn darker with the night, but not the interface. The stat screen is the only annoying thing though.

It would be great to fix it, but I assume it's not possible.

Also, I know this is pretty much PC-only help, but I was wondering if the Sierra mcdate patch for Mac happened to be lying around on here since google had nothing for it except me mentioning it on a Mac abandonware site and a couple dead Sierra FTP links.
