Title: Suggestion for Enabling AGS to Export Saved Sprites and Inventory Files
Post by: WackyWildCard on Wed 24/01/2007 21:27:47

First, I want to say that AGS is an extremely cool program, and I'm having so much fun designing my Adventure/RPG Game with it.

I just have a helpful suggestion though, say you want to transfer saved Graphic Sprites and Inventory Files by Exporting and Importing into another Game in Development - could the makers of AGS please develop an AGS Update that would have that feature?

Thanks for all your fantastic work!

Thanks!

You can transfer sprites to another game in 3 ways, none of which are ideal but you may not have considered:

1. Put the sprites in a dummy view(s), put the view(s) as the normal/talking/blinking view of a dummy character, export the character

2. Similarly, with a GUI

3. Use the clipboard.

Thanks!

I should of thought of that myself. I oafishly ignored the fact that I can copy sprites!

4. Right-Click and 'Export sprite to file' (Using Views and a dummy character is better for bulk exports, though.)

Export/Import of Inventory items, as you can Characters and GUIs would be a nice addition.
