and in Jasc format...

Is this actually true? Cause both of the palette files i tried to import were JASC. Tried GraphicsGale today and that one uses JASC too. I duckducked a bit more and found a palette editor (Cyotek Color Palette Editor) that was able to export to multiple formats and the one that worked with AGS was 18-bit RGB VGA, not JASC.

So i tried importing a .pal palette file from Aseprite or Grafx2 and always get an error like:

There was an error importing the palette. The error message was 'Value of 296 is not valid for red. red should be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 255. Please retry.

Importing the same palette as a BMP file has no problem.
Exporting a palette from AGS and trying to import it into any of these softwares also ends up in an error.
Just opening these two palette files in a notepad points to them not being the same format?

I searched the forums but could only find one topic with the same issue:
https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=55955.0
However i can not find an answer in there as the attention seems to have shifted to the cycling element of the post.

So can i actually import a regular palette file from other graphic softwares into AGS? Or am i doing something wrong?

i thought that it runs for a whole month, same as the other competitions. sorry for that.

only 5 days to go! lets get your creative juices flowing for some last minute entries

thank you mandle!

i would swear on anything thats dear to me that i tried this thank you sir

and i have a question: can you finish the game if

Spoiler

you stick the knife into the moss right after you get down?

[close]

and i am stuck right after that:

Spoiler

i cut the rope but cant figure out what to do next/how to get down

[close]

@imsomnia looks great! thanks!

@imsomnia i think that the tongue goes out of the shape, doesnt it? maybe cut it a little so it stays in?

edit: so its not just the tongue, the whole shape seems to have been altered when i compare it to my template. gotta stay in the shape but i like the idea.

edit2: just to be sure i compared the rest to the shape and everythings fine except for the banana - it has one extra pixel on the left side

well, i still think its my brain thats at fault and not the code as im totally stuck on that bent plate but ill give it another go to see if i make any progress

trying to play The Shaft, i guess im too stupid for this game but i noticed that you can repeatedly

Spoiler

cut the rope with the knife again after you already cut it

[close]

possible bug?

nice one!

@VampireWombat: thanks for the offer but theres too much work to be done in 2 days. i got the backgrounds finished but need the walk cycles and a few other animations which seems harder than i thought cant really use filler graphics as i had this alien/space theme in mind... honestly i was counting on help from a friend who does graphics but it did not work out all that well this month. hopefully next time. anyway as i said i will finish it, just not in time for the competition.

edit: and i completely forgot about music or sounds

come on guys, i know you can draw some nice futuristic plant!

i was really going to put together a simple quick game but the graphics proved to be much more work than i could get done in time. i will try to finish it though, even past deadline. at least i know what to start with next time...

...

now thats a step in evolution!
