Hi. It's been awhile since I've done anything with ags (at least a year, if not 2) and I was wondering what version I should use, and if there are any LEC templates available for it. I'd like to fool around with it some more....
Hey there! Mr Big Stuff ;)... Good to see you back man. Thought maybe you and Snake might of got sent up the river for do'in that Sanchez job :P.
Anyway Squinky the AGS script language has grown up last spring and now sports many OO features. Probably the best way to get up to speed is to download the demo. You can get it from the AGS website or from this thread (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=21088.0). There are pretty good examples of how to use the new language features there. Also note that the different GUI examples are now implemented as mini-games (i.e. seperate games that are called up using the RunAGSGame() mechanism). You can also ask Rui which templates he has on Skimbleshanks are updated.
DemoQuest is currently built with AGS V2.70. The newest beta has some new string support and other nifty things and is pretty stable. I don't know if the demo game will compile under the latest beta though. I think perhaps some of the string things may break when comopileing under the newest beta.
Good luck and good to see you back Squinky....
Cheers
Rick

In case ya didn't, you might get a chuckle...
Stay on topic, please, or take it to PMs.
I think the one of the LucasArts templates has finally been converted to 2.7 - just as 2.71 is nearing release. Check the Lucasarts GUI Help Thread sticky (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=7616.280) for the download, or (like Rick said) Rui's Skimbleshanks page (http://www.freewebs.com/skimbleshanks/templatesandmodules.htm).
Arrrrgh! I've been Elvised!! Hehe, thanks Scummy for thinking about me and thanks Squnky for putting me on to it.
Chill a little Ashen, it's Squinky's thread after all.
Wow, just saw the edit Ashen. Thanks for that tip, I'll go check it out.
