holiday island fix- fully playable
I got annoyed with the german error messages, so I had a look at the DAT files and found errors in the file "Holiday\DATA\FILENAME", all you need to do is delete the spaces between the file names and the extension.
so
xxxxxxx .bmp
xxxx .bmp
becomes
xxxxxxx.bmp
xxxx.bmp
This won't correct old savegames, you will need to start a new game and turn off speech (I also had music turned off, not sure if that makes a difference).
You can now play the game fully with new buildings becoming available and auctions for attractions and historic sites e.t.c.
The problem with speech is probably to do with a similar DAT file, but I haven't looked into it yet.
I have emailed the abandonia staff with this info and details of a possible cheat I stumbled upon while checking the DAT files, so maybe the offending file will be replaced with a corrected version soon.
