Post by: VII Toast on Sat 09/10/2004 23:07:01

Advice? Yes! Read manual.
How do you mean " I have a bunch of charaters, but I can't seem to change them into .cha files". If they are not in .cha format, they are not characters. Import images sprite by sprite and you will get them.
And again.... read the manual!

Let's see...

I did
I did
I did.

Reading manuals does't answer my questions. Actually HELP does...old people. Sheesh.

Anyhoo, I got that fixed.

When I want to view an image, how do I make the text description happen?

Are you sure the file you were trying to import to the palette was the right type of file. A personally always use hi-color so I'm not really sure how all that works. About the character issue, when you go into the characters pannel on the side bar, there should be a button somewhere for export character to file or something like that. Oh, I just saw in your post that you've already solved those problems. Well, if you haven't, I hope something there will be helpful.

What exactly do you mean by "When I want to view an image, how do I make the text description happen?" Do you want to run an interaction when the player looks at a hotspot? Make a hotspot, and click on interactions. Then script display ("message here"); or do game-display a message.

Like what does the different 'types' mean?

Boolean
Number
Text

also what does the default value mean?

Okay, VII we have a problem. Not a serious one, but you have basically changed your original post so that the question changes completely. You ARE in fact allowed to create a new thread as long as it is a new question. With what you have done, you confused me, that's for sure, and possibly others reading this for reference. Keep this in mind next time.

Also, please try and be more specific with your questions. Your dialog question is a big vague and I'm afraid I don't understand what you need to do.
