ive read the tutorial but I still can't comprehend how to make a Lucasarts style inventory and status boxes. I want mine to be like Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. so can people give me plain point and click instructions very clear, remember I'm new to this. it would be nicer if someone just made me one lol :) but I have to learn. thx
let me direct you over to a Sticky thread (meaning "look at me first") over in the beginners tech forum (which you just said, you are a beginner)
its called: The LucasArts GUI Help Thread
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=7616.0
and within that, there is a thread by Proskrito which he has very nicely gone through the trouble of creating a Fate of Atlantis GUI for you to use in your games.
