Adventure Game Studio

not an entry-

i am trying to get an animation here, i am using the ags views animation, but i donno how to get it here.

You'll need to use another program other then AGS to make the animation. There's a free program called unFREEze that will take .GIF frames and animate them. You can get it here. http://www.whitsoftdev.com/unfreez/

For Everyone:

I know that everyone uses his favourite software for producing graphics, but for this particular kind of graphics (also called Pixel Art) i suggest you "Promotion" produced by Cosmigo.
This software is like a porting to Windows of the World Famous "Deluxe Paint 2" (originally developed for Amiga and Pc-DOS).
I use any kind of software for graphics, from Photoshop to Corel Draw to 3D Studio and Lightwave and believe me.... there's nothing better than Promotion for creating, modifying and animating this kind of graphics.
It's not Free, but it's worth a try.

N.B.: Deluxe Paint was used to create the graphics of Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis, for adapting the 256 colors version of Monkey Island ... and I thing for almost every old Adventure Game. It's palette cycling function is used in several games for obtaining effects like water, thunders and so on..
It's a piece of History.

if i wanted to, would i be able to host an animation challenge?Or is it only for the creator?

The winner of this round can be the host of next round, unless for special circumstances.

 :-\ Couldn't decide what to do with this one. So here is my quick, sloppy, Half-thought-out, entry

How: Via Sniper Rifle
What: Makes no difference as one blob of drippy goo is so very like another.

I dunno what exactly is inside, use your imagination  ;)

EDIT:

Slightly improved the speed between the frames.

Blaargh, my gif animator screwed this up. Sorry for the banner at the top and rubbish BG colour...

not an entry-

how do i make gif. images?MSPaint makes it bmp.

You don't need to write "not an entry" on each post that isn't an entry.  People write that when the sprite that they're posting isn't meant to be judged in the competition.  Your post contains no sprite, so it's obviously not an entry.

And in paint, use "Save as" and there's a little place to change the file type.  I think it says "Save as type:"  Just change that to ".gif".

But if you want to make an animation, you're going to need another program since Paint can't save animated gifs.  Use the search function at the top of the page to find one of the many posts about these programs if you're looking for one.

Uh Oh! I'm a little late... as always. :P
However, is time to declare a Winner:



Nice idea and even nice animation.

When is the next one?  ;D

whenever theatrx starts it

he doesnt get a challenge trophey?

Please don't ask about trophies, their will be trophies only if the host feels like to make them. Trophies are never an integrated part of the activities, in fact it's not even recommended.

Next time if someone posts about the absense of trophies in an activity the post will be deleted without noticed.

opps sorry. didnt realise.

So is this competition going to turn over or am I going to have to go back to working on my game?

Since theatrx hadn't posted for a week, I think we can let Ago choose another participant to start the next round, so to get stuff going.

I too am getting anxious for a new challenge.

Hi I think Tocsik has this one sorted, I think he should post the next one.

I'm fine with that but i'd like to get Ago's go ahead first, but he hasn't been online since the fifth so i might just do it if there are not any objections.

Well since you started that already, there's no point to argue now. I'll just lock this to let the activity continue.

feel free to lock mine if you feel I was out of line. I will not object, or be upset, I realize I was taking that risk.
