Adventure Game Studio

Is there a current Scrolling Credits Module? I found a few listed in the forum but with old dates on them so I would like advice on which one to use.

This one was just posted recently.

The link for the module goes to a funny looking download page.  Is this correct? Just want to make sure before I download.

It directs to Khris's shared files. I think he's the safest one of us all.  :)

This is just a standard Google Drive download page.

You can also download directly from here: https://khris.ddns.net/modules/

Thank you.  Ok, I downloaded the script, imported it and created a room and a gui gCredits. When I try to run the room I get this error.
Error (line 11): Undefined token "Credits" Here is my room script: // room script file

bool credits_running;

function room_Load()
{
{
  int yellow = Game.GetColorFromRGB(255, 255, 0);
  int white = Game.GetColorFromRGB(255, 255, 255);
 
  Credits.SetFont(eFontFont0, 15); // font, line height
  Credits.SetColor(white); // default text color
  Credits.SetShadow(17, 1, 1); // color, offsetX, offsetY
  Credits.SetWidth(200); // total width of credits text
  Credits.SetDelay(1, -5); // 1 pixel per frame, 5 pixels per frame when mouse is held down

  Credits.AddLine("Made with", eAlignCenter, 0, yellow);
  Credits.AddLine("Adventure Game Studio");
  Credits.AddSpace();
  Credits.AddLine("Special Thanks To", eAlignCenter, 0, yellow); // yellow text
  Credits.AddLine("Alice", eAlignLeft);
  Credits.AddLine("Bob", eAlignRight, -1); // offset -1: add text to previous line
  Credits.AddLine("Charles", eAlignLeft);
  Credits.AddLine("Dick", eAlignRight, -1);
  Credits.AddLine("Eddie");
  Credits.AddSpace(50); // add gap of 50 pixels
  Credits.AddLine("THE END");
}

DynamicSprite* credits; // create pointer

void StartCredits() {
  credits_running = true; // set flag for room_RepExec
  gCredits.Visible = true; // show GUI
  credits = Credits.Tick(); // run first update to get sprite
  //gCredits.BackgroundGraphic = credits.Graphic; // set GUI background
}

void CreditsEnded() {
  gCredits.Visible = false; // hide GUI
  credits.Delete(); // clean up
  credits_running = false; // reset flag
  QuitGame(0); // or go to main menu
}

void DoCredits() {
  Credits.Tick(); // advance credits display
  if (Credits.Done()) CreditsEnded(); // credits have finished
}
}

function room_RepExec()

{
  if (credits_running) DoCredits();
}

void on_key_press(eKeyCode k) {
  if (k == eKeySpace) StartCredits();
}


Sorry, I just noticed I didn't upload the actual Credits module (laugh)
So whatever you imported wasn't the right module.

Please download Credits_0.1.scm from here https://khris.ddns.net/modules/

Also, your room_Load has two opening braces. That shouldn't compile anyway.
(Also make sure the two room* functions are linked in your room events, and note that my example code runs the credits when you press space.)

Perfect, thank you I'll check this out.

The Credits Module is running great.  Thank you. Can you tell where I can slow it down some?

I figured out how to slow the scrolling.  I would like to have it start scrolling as soon as I enter the room as opposed to the space bar.  What would I need to change for this?

Remove this:
void on_key_press(eKeyCode k) {
  if (k == eKeySpace) StartCredits();
}

And add this to the end of room_load:
function room_Load()
{
   ... other code still here ...

   StartCredits();
}

But if you do that you also need to move whole room_Load() function down the script, because the function that calls other functions must be located below them.

Thanks, that worked.
