Editing Gabriel Knight III


Okay, here we go... Let's start with the basics.
Game console


Press [ Shift ] + [ Ctrl ] + ~ to display the console window. Type extract, press [ Space ], then press [ Enter ]. A file named "!!!Readme.txt" will be created in the game directory. Read the file and learn how to activate various hidden features in the game. These include the extraction of multimedia files, activation of various secrets... You name it!

COMMAND LINE: The command line accepts common Windows editing keys. Try LEFT and RIGHT to move the cursor a character at a time, CTRL-LEFT and CTRL-RIGHT to move the cursor a word at a time, HOME and END to move to the beginning or end of the line. CTRL-C, CTRL-X, CTRL-V will copy, cut, and paste the entire line, respectively. The UP and DOWN keys will scroll backwards and forwards through the command history. The mouse pointer can also be used to place the cursor.

SHEEP COMMANDS: You can type Sheep commands into the command line just by entering them and hitting ENTER. To enter an entire Sheep script into the console, prefix it with the '#' character. For a list of all available Sheep functions, type DumpCommands() and hit ENTER. To find a specific command, use the FindCommand() function. To find a specific command by searching the help for functions, use the FindHelp() function. To get help on a particular command, use the HelpCommand() function. To have the console fill out a Sheep function call with some default parameters for you, type the name of the function and then hit SPACE, then fill in the parameters.

CONSOLE WINDOW MOTION: To move the entire console up and down, hold down the ALT key and then press the UP, DOWN, HOME, END, PAGEUP, or PAGEDOWN keys.

CONSOLE SCROLLBACK TEXT: To scroll through the text in the console, hold down the CTRL key and then press the UP, DOWN, HOME, END, PAGEUP, or PAGEDOWN keys. Use the I-bar mouse pointer to drag and select text, which can be copied to the clipboard with the CTRL-ALT-C key combination.
Explore as much as you can with your own and test and write your own sheep files with notepad. Unfortunately you can't open the original sheep files but I managed to get one of these sheep files throught the command line intact. You can download it from the downloads page.
