Title: Does anyone have the darn Parser Tutorial?
Post by: Hollister Man on Wed 16/06/2004 05:09:45
Another asinine question from the H_Man, king of asinine questions.

Any clue where I could find it?  I tried Magintz's links, they're all broken, as is Junc's.

I am working on the DQ3 text parser, but can't quite get it working without a template that works already (the newer versions of AGS chew up the old demo game so I can't figure out what's what.)

Did the parser room ever work right?  I can't remember.

I have managed to get the authentic 'right click=walk, left click=look' to work, but my parser won't accept a 'return' and then GUIoffs and won't come back.

Thanks,

As far as templates go, there's a couple of templates in http://www.freewebs.com/skimbleshanks/ that may interest you. And about the demo room, it never game me any trouble.

I'm not sure if this is the latest version of it, but its all i can find on my hard drive for now.

Will double check and try to get the bug free version if that is not it.

Thanks all.  Even if it worked right, the original DQ version was made before a lot of refinements in the engine, so it is hard to figure out what they were trying to do at several points.  The reason for the urgency is that we're trying for a Brittens demo.  :)
