Engine Development / Walkbehind not working on Android

« on: 11 Nov 2018, 17:19 »

I've noticed that non of the walkebhinds work on android (at least my build) I was wondering if anyone else has had any issues with this? They work perfectly fine when the exe is just run from the PC.

I may add, when I run the game files through the AGS android emulator it's fine. The walkbehind issue is only when it runs as a stand alone apk game.

Beginners' Technical Questions / Changing text color mid sentence.

« on: 06 Nov 2018, 10:36 »

Hi I was wondering  - like the post title says - if you can change the color text mid sentence to highlight keywords.

For example:
if (Parser.Said("navigation"))lDetails.Text=("Command Example:[['navigate b1 to r2'[Moves bot1 to Room1");

The text is set to white, is it possible to change "navigate b1 to r2'[Moves bot1 to Room1" to say green?

Kind regards

Beginners' Technical Questions / Inventory item stacks

« on: 22 Sep 2018, 03:07 »

Hi

I've been looking around for a while now for a solution (not wanting to really post) but I've struggled to find any information on how to do this.

Is there a way to stack items in an inventory? I know in the general settings you can set it to allow duplicates, but a stacking option would be amazing. I did find this post: Forum Post on Stacking but it doesn's sound very robust - e.i if you take a stacked item do you take the whole stack or just one from it, ect).

I was wondering if there were any modules or plugins that I've missed that achieve this? Something like this would probably help me in a number of projects, and I can't be alone

Currently I have an Inventory GUI and a Font for the stack number display - the GUI inventory doesn't need to scroll as shifiting stack numbers up and down with the items would be complicated - I imagine.

Any help would be really fantastic on such a matter

Kind Regards.

Beginners' Technical Questions / Change room scrolling deadzone?

« on: 20 Sep 2018, 20:51 »

Hi

I've googled for an answer but haven't had much luck. I'm working on a little project and the bottom of the screen is taken up by a GUI bar that is always visible (that is about 50px tall). Is there a way to manually set the dead-zone of the room scroll in code? So, basically, the player character doesn't have to walk behind the GUI to scroll the screen down in Y?

I've searched the manual too for a simple bit of code (with SetViewPort, etc). Any help would be great because it would be cool to have larger rooms in the Y.

Kind Regards
C.

Beginners' Technical Questions / RunAgsGame issue

« on: 27 Mar 2018, 18:44 »

Hi

I have a button on my main menu that I want to load a new AGS game (essentially a duplicate of the base game but will have new art).

I'm just using the simple:
RunAGSGame("AgonyMA.exe", 0, 0); in my script.

I always thoroughly google and look at the AGS bible but I cant figure this out. When I click on the button the game room fades out and seems to load the original game.exe. There seems to be some subtle differences but it seems to be the same as the base game with no change. There is no crash and both exe's are in the compiled folder. It is very odd...

Any help would be appreciated.

Beginners' Technical Questions / Steam disjoint plugin problem

« on: 14 Mar 2018, 13:12 »

I'm just looking for a little help with initializing the plugin.

I am running AGS Editor 2.4.0.16 and downloaded both the AGSteam-disjoint.dll and steam_api dll files. I have both files situated in my editor directory and both files in my debug and compiled directories.

My problem is when I load up the editor and right-click on the Plugin icon there is no import option.

I'm just wondering if someone could shine a little light on what I'm doing wrong. The dll files I'm assuming are the latest from the:
Steam Thread

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

The game is making excellent progress with all the systems coded up and good chunk of game finished. I plan on producing a little gameplay video soon that hopefully wont give too much away.
