More information? For people who haven't played SQ6 like me

What kind of inventory/ interface etc.. I'm sure there is a way...

TerranRich · Wed 12/05/2004 20:51:18

Of course it's not in the manual. Have you even tried it, NOOBalator?

download the sq6 template from the account frozen site

They were referring to this site. http://www.freewebs.com/skimbleshanks/index.htm

but for now and until, apparently, the ninth of the next month. check back there if you can wait that long.

Isn't it just the same kind of interface as the other SCI VGA Space Quest games? Therefore, exactly what AGS has as default, but without a whole lot of colour... :

You can download the SQ6 template from this site:

All the GUI's on that site are in *.agt format. I, being new to this community, assume this was a previous version of a GUI format file. However, the current version does not seem to be able to open it. I have been interested in getting my hands on a SQ4 GUI as well (which is on the site). How are these GUI's used?

Scorpiorus · Fri 14/05/2004 23:29:47

It is a template file. Simply copy it to the AGS folder and start a new game. You'll see another choice in addition to default game one.

Drakmyth · Fri 14/05/2004 23:34:56

Thanks. Now I don't have to make it myself. It was really getting to be a pain taking 27 screenshots from one computer and moving them to a second computer to use them in AGS.

GOOD LORD could your signature be more obnoxious?!?! (there's a restriction on banner sizes in sigs ... it's right above the place where you entered the information for your sig)

Space Quest VI had a great GUI.

I always prefer making my own GUIs, but if you have to borrow one, that's a good one to take!

Drakmyth · Sat 15/05/2004 02:59:05

Oh is there. Oops, I must not have noticed it. I'll change it in a moment. I'm having problems uploading to my FTP at the moment. And besides the size what's wrong with my sig? I use it on all the other boards I go to and no one has ever complained before.

I have never played SQ6 although I would like to. I own all the other SQ's and all the KQ's though.

TerranRich · Sat 15/05/2004 05:34:31

We complain here because the owner, CJ has explicitly set a limit. No more than ONE image, and no more than 460x100 or something. It's on every forum page. Check it out. And please abide by it.

Drakmyth · Sat 15/05/2004 06:53:14

Is that better? Anywho, back on topic.

Those template are great and all but they're in german or something. I'm not exactly sure how to use the translation source either. Perhaps it said in the manual but I did not see it. I guess I'll have to go back to ripping. Doesn't matter much I guess. With the exception of the sliders on the Status Screen I've pretty much ripped the whole thing already.

[Edit] Perhaps I should have been more clear. I ment that I didn't see the manual say how to convert the txt files included with the templates into the translation tra files. [/Edit]

gogeta2000 · Sat 15/05/2004 07:06:28

THank you all for the help...

I'm not sure what that txt file contains but if it's a dumped text you can import it back via Main menu > Game > Import dumped text from file... Be sure to make a backup copy of your game, just in case.

EDIT: to make a .tra Main menu > Game > Create compiled translation. And choose txt to compile from.

I can't extract the files. Might be a specific format or something.

And could you elaborate on the problem you've encountered?

The only other way is to start a new game with a template, next open GUI editor and click the export GUIs button. AGS would create a .gui file, so you can import it to your game (import GUIs button).
