AGS Awards 2015 : Winners Announced

[Chicky]

Old wounds guys! let's keep it safe for work

Well done on all the hard work Jack, looking forward to a fun drunken ceremony

Ponch, your behaviour is completely unacceptable! All hail the bovine overlord!

[Myinah]

If it's SFW then I will gladly attend. If it was reverting I would have given it a miss even though we are nominated. Thanks for clarifying. The mention of breasts made me wonder, but I'm glad to hear they are not being added in again.

[Ponch]

Ponch has been spreading the tall tale that he "stormed" the stage. The truth is that [REDACTED] helped him up the stage, as one would an old lady.

See? It's this sort of backstabbing that gets you get kicked out of the glorious revolution and airbrushed out of history.

Seamless! And we have always been at war with Oceania, citizens!

Ponch, your behaviour is completely unacceptable! All hail the bovine overlord!

Excellent work, Chicky! You are now my new Minister of Truth, replacing [REDACTED] who never existed at all and has been sent off the work camps.

[Jack]

You need me.

Taking over the REAL ceremony will require getting up on stage again. If you can see your way clear to appointing ME as Minister of Truth once again, I could have a ramp installed, but purely because of my unique interpretation of the fire codes.

Don't be so easily swayed by animated gifs of mischievous young women. Send this upstart Chicky to the dungeons.

AGS Awards 2015 Ceremony beta
AGS Awards 2015 Ceremony beta 2

This has several bugfixes and all of the core features, including all the sound I intend for it to have.

There are a handful of mostly cosmetic things I'd still like to do before tomorrow, like finishing the intro, fixing the irc window, and adding a few more joke animations. Then I also keep forgetting to get more than just a screenshot for the voice, music and animation nominees. So make sure to update tomorrow rather than using the beta.

Let us test the clap system.

[Mandle]

Let us test the clap system.

That's a heads-up for everyone to bring the appropriate protection, folks!

[SinSin]

STUPID QUESTION ALERT.  AWOOOGAH AWOOOOOOOGAH!!

Are the awards going to be on both the client AND IRC? Or just client. I only ask as I'm at work until 10 pm tonight (wont be home until 11 ) meaning in gonna miss 3/4rs if only on Client. (unless someone wants to build a windows phone app just for lil old me ).

[selmiak]

I can't connect. Is there more I have to whitelist in my firewall other than the AGSAwards2015.exe? Like some irc.exe process running wherever?

edit: alright, restarting the .exe after whitelisting did it! Looking good. Thanks Jack!
but it's so empty, let's have a warm up already!

[Haggis]

I get a game crash if I try and select Gribblers 'the Bum' character.

Edit - I get a game crash if someone else selects the Bum character too!

IRC too, I'll post the channel name tonight with the RC.

Weird, never had that issue with that avatar. Will check it out.

EDIT: Can anyone tell me whether they are still seeing the host,winner,clear,panel buttons on the top middle of the screen (like in Ponch's screenshot)? I can't reproduce this issue locally but it appears for others in alpha and beta 1. These should only appear for the host, and I'm hoping I managed to fix it in beta 2.

[m0ds]

We're not seeing eye to eye behind the scenes. So unfortunately I won't be hosting it tonight sorry, but it's okay, Jack says he will. Have a good evening!

[Jack]

Yeah no idea what that's really about*, but I don't mind hosting. Kind of a pain in the arse though.

Gonna fix the footballer bug and the irc window, RC should be available soon.

*Apart form me missing every deadline we set, obviously

Only if I get one of those cool motorized carts. My knees and ankles are getting stiff with age. I'd like one of those motorized chairs for the staircases too.

Too late. I've chosen to back another despot.



AGS Awards 2015 ceremony client

For those who can't run it, you can follow along in #Awards on the server irc.adventuregamestudio.co.uk

[paolo]

Is it just me or is anyone else having problems connecting? I'm running the release candidate that Jack's just posted. After selecting my avatar, I get stuck on a progress window that just says "Joining channels..." (with a randomly positioned random avatar next to it).

Or am I just here too early?

EDIT: I'm afraid it eventually crashed:

---------------------------
Adventure Game Studio
---------------------------
An error has occurred. Please contact the game author for support, as this is likely to be a scripting error and not a bug in AGS.
(ACI version 3.4.0.6)

in "GlobalScript.asc", line 607
from "GlobalScript.asc", line 1193

Error: MoveCharacter: character not in current room

---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

[CrashPL]

Hmmm, yeah, I'm stuck on the "joining channels" progress screen as well... the client worked fine when I tried it this afternoon.

[Jack]

Are you sure it's the RC and not beta2? Only the old clients should have that issue.

[paolo]

Jack, it's the client at the link "AGS Awards 2015 ceremony client" in your posting from 19:42:07. Is that not what we should be downloading? Or have you linked to the wrong version?

I have the same problem with version beta2. I was able to connect fine with that version earlier today.

UPDATE: OK, RC1 is working for me now. I was running it through winsetup.exe before, but this time I ran it directly. I don't know if that was the reason for the hang/crash, but if anyone's having the same problem, try running the game directly rather than through winsetup.

UPDATE 2: Nice show, and everything went smoothly! Well done all.

[Ponch]

Thanks to Jack and company for putting together a fine awards ceremony. Much fun was had!

[Marion]

Where and when will be the winners announced for those who are not on the IRC ?
