not using cursor modes problem

[left]

another question already. In my game i am not using the cycle cursor way of interacting but instead using a similar interface to full, throttle and monkey island 3. The problem with this is that the cursor always needs to be in walk mode when the gui's are off. This seems to be rendering some of the vital preset hot spot, object and inventory interactions useless, for example you cant porocess anyclick on hotspot in walk mode. To try to get around this i tried changing the cursor mode when the mouse is over the hotspot but then it stays in this mode after. I tried having a second hotspot incircling this one saying revert back to walk mode but it did not always work.

Now i am scripting it all in repeatedly execute using coordinates to create certain global variables but it is becoming very complecated as both inventory items and the gui are using the same variable in different ways.
I realise this is a bit of a ramble but i was just wondering if anybody has tried using this style of interface before and nows an easier way to make it work than having nearly two pages of script in repeatedly execute (my scripting is slopy) which is getting very confusing

thanks

The interface you're referring to is called "Verb coin". Try searching the forum for this topic.

I think there are templates for this on RedruM's site (http://www.freewebs.com/skimbleshanks/) but it's currently frozen. Try the site again in two days, it gets unfrozen the 9th of every month IIRC.

This website is still blocked. Have i missed its unblocked time and its been blocked again?

Yeah, don't know what is up with that.
Unfortunately, only the fonts page is in the Google cache. The files themselves are hosted somewhere else, so that would have been a workaround.
I suggest sending the site owner a personal message and asking for the template links.

Blast. Freewebs does this some times. It SHOULD have reset yesterday! I'll see what's up.

EDIT - It's up again. The template you need is either "Verb Coin" or "Curse of Monkey Island".

It's (still? again?) down for me...

WHAT?

<sigh>

Am right on it.

EDIT - Back up... and it should STAY up this time.
