I'm sorry for the mess I caused getting the client out, and particularly to those of you, like Arlann, who couldn't download the client in time because of my delay.

No need for excuses, I just completely messed up my speech and my partner too... Maybe because it was dinner time.
This was my first ceremony and I am very impressed by the quality of the event. Thanks for this!

Congratulations to all the winners and nominees!
Because I live in the past I didn't download the client in time for the beginning of the ceremony, I just discovered my random avatar on youtube for the best demo award, LOL!
Thank you for this award and this ceremony.

Thank you for your comments they are very encouraging for the rest of the project.

- The puzzles, while not original, are good. My only concern is that the backgrounds are VERY busy so looking for items to interact with to solve the puzzles required a lot of hunting with the mouse. As well, the items only become available when they are needed or relevant. Which means that you have to start doing the mouse hunting all over again at every stage. Perhaps the graphics could make them stand out a bit more? Just a thought.

Many players confirm your opinion, we will rework the interactions and indices to improve the exploration part and avoid pixelhunting...

Even though the puzzles seem to block a lot of players, we are happy to have positive feedback on the gameplay and the atmosphere.
We'll try to find a better balance between the action and reflection part to allow different types of players to have fun.

I add this very nice article on the first post.

And it's cool to see the demo played on youtube!

If you are trying to load an old save during the game, you must leave the game without saving and load your save tape again.
I will work to improve this interface.

AGS Engine & Editor Releases / Re: AGS 3.4.0 - Patch 4 -- latest STABLE version

« on: 02 Aug 2017, 09:52 »

Oh, there were reports about Windows 10 having issues with Direct3D. This might be related.

Winsetup tries to detect whether Direct3D is supported when it starts, so if operating system does not let it do that, it won't show in the list.

I think my problem appeared by doing "rebuild all files", I do not know if it is related, but I've been working with windows 10 for a year and I had not had this problem before. The resolutions predefined in the WinsetUp mode had also disappeared, only native resolution and desktop resolution remained. By changing the Windows compatibility property (right click on the exe file) of the AGS Editor or the build of the game, all parameters return.
Thanks!

I'm talking about the winsetup and I'm using version 3.4.0.16
I answered the problem by changing the windows properties of AGSEditor in compatibility mode "compatibility mode Windows 7" (I work on a windows 10).
All WinSetUp settings are available again.

Hi, for some days the graphics setting of my project no longer offers me the Direct3D driver and only "Desktop resolution" and "Native resolution" in the mode setting.
I've tested with an older backup of my project and I do not have this problem. I don’t think I’ve changed the project settings so I don’t see where the problem comes from. Any idea ?

Beginners' Technical Questions / Re: Faster view switch and faster animation speed

« on: 27 Oct 2016, 17:03 »

I did not have talking view on this project...
May be doing something like this:

Code: Adventure Game Studio

1. function repeatedly_execute()
2. {
3.      
4.     if ( player.Moving == false && (player.View == VWALK || player.View == VTALK) ) {
5.         player.LockView(VIDLE);
6.         player.Animate(player.Loop, 0, eRepeat, eNoBlock);
7.     }
8.      
9. }

Edit : Or you could try this :

Code: Adventure Game Studio

1. function repeatedly_execute()
2. {
3.      
4.     if ( !player.Moving && !player.Animating && !player.Speaking && player.View != VIDLE ) {
5.         player.LockView(VIDLE);
6.         player.Animate(player.Loop, 0, eRepeat, eNoBlock);
7.     }
8.      
9. }

Beginners' Technical Questions / Re: Faster view switch and faster animation speed

« on: 27 Oct 2016, 12:57 »

Use player.SetIdleView(7, -1); to get rid of that slight delay

I think it will start walking animated view instead of the idle view...
I also noticed this little delay problem on my playable character, but not on the NPCs. (I don't understand why...)
So I made like this:

Code: Adventure Game Studio

1. function repeatedly_execute_always()
2. {
3.  
4.   if ( player.Moving == false && player.View == VWALK ) {
5.     player.LockView(VIDLE);
6.     player.Animate(player.Loop, 0, eRepeat, eNoBlock);
7.   }
8.  
9. }

I also added player.UnlockView(); in my on_mouse_click function before calling the walk command.

Beginners' Technical Questions / Re: GAWD! The AGS sound channel system is SO hard to understand!

« on: 24 Oct 2016, 13:01 »

So by setting it to 4, you're reducing by 4 the available channels for all the other sounds.

I just wanted to limit this audio type to 4 channels to keep the other for music, atmospheres ...
But I could not give to footstep (frame.LinkedAudio) a lower priority than more important sounds for this channels.

Beginners' Technical Questions / Re: GAWD! The AGS sound channel system is SO hard to understand!

« on: 22 Oct 2016, 15:21 »

I also want to ask a question about an old problem that I encountered.

I tried to put footstep sounds to several characters (frame sounds) but I wanted these sounds to have a lower priority than other sound effects played from the script.
So I created an AudioType “Foley” with 4 max channels.
A folder with default type “Foley”, High priority by default, where i put my sound effects.
An other folder with my footstep audio files, with default type “Foley” and Low priority by default.
Is the ViewFrame.LinkedAudio uses the audio file default priority and there audiotype properties ?
Because in my method, all the footsteps, had priority over other sounds effect i played from the script.
I haven't found a solution and I finally decided to disable the frame sounds of secondary characters to not overload the sound effects channels.
But maybe my approach was bad...

(please excuse my english )
