I have been trying to put something like this together. So far it is slow going.

You can get some Sierra and LucasArts characters here:

Currently the #1 and best resource is InstaGame:

For a few special GUI's check out Proskrito's LEC GUI's:

Fate of Atlantis GUI:
http://galeon.com/golfa/otros/SCUMM-FOA.rar

DOTT and Monkey Island:

I would recommend starting with InstaGame. It is a pretty complete set of backgrounds and characters and they are free to use. Great stuff.

good luck,

I want to use some of those GUIs but I dont know where to save them and when I do I dont know what to use to open the file?

You will need to download WinRAR or something that opens RAR files. This is the WinRAR site:

The GUI's have been saved as templates. Just place this in the directory that the "agsedit.exe" is in. Then start a new game. You will be prompted to select a template and name your game. The game will load with a preset GUI and some demonstration backgrounds and characters.

A word of warning about the LucasArts GUI's. Depending on how quickly you can learn about AGS you may want to put off using those GUI's for a little while. They are script intensive and may seem a little overwhelming at first.

I recommend using the default interface and putting together a test game just to get a feel for AGS. Learn a bit about scripting, then move onto those GUI's.

good luck,
