I have the exact same problem as this guy:
https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/beginners-technical-questions/problem-with-mouse-coordinates-in-a-scrolling-room/

I need to get my mouse coordinates, but not of the current viewport, but the global coordinates of the scrolling room. The given solution is simple and can be found on many threads in this forum.

But the funny thing is...
It doesn't work with AGS 3.6.1 anymore 

So what is the current equivalent of GetViewportX()?
I tried Screen.Viewport.X, but this seems to be always 0, no matter how much the screen scrolled over the room.

Games made with old versions of AGS put their save games where they belong: into the games folder.
In newer versions someone came up with the idea, to put them in the Windows User profile under Saved Games. It is very impractical to seperate the save games from their game for various reasons: F.e. if you store your game onto an usb drive to play on different computers, your save games won't come with you.

Thank god you still made it possible to store save games into games folder with the option "Custom Games Path".

But: The game still creates a folder with the game name into User/Saved Games, just to put a copy of the config file there. That`s an unnecessary producing of file waste into the User profile which nobody needs. It`s not using much disc space but it's just annoying to have the User profile being littered up with unnecessary folders and files.
I just don't want my games to create any folders and files outside of their own folder.

Today I present you Episode 100 from Maniac Mansion Mania, which finally got an English translation.

As Fred and Edna come back after a journey, they have to notice that their house is on sale at Stan's. To buy it back they need one million dollars.
Fortunately, Fred's uncle Edenezer is that rich he wouldn't mind lending them the money. Or isn't it?

- 3 playable characters with individual properties
- a huge and completely new location
- countless references to Maniac Mansion, other episodes, other games, movies, series, music and much more.


While beeing part of the series, it can also be played as a Standalone-Game. You don't need to know any other episode (Just a few minor references won't be understanded).

Have fun!

Hey guys,
today I present you my new fangame:

The young Grisush Thriftweed lands on the Caribean Island of Miele and wants to become a firefighter!
But after he has beaten the 3 trials, the zombie pirate ElChoco kidnaps the govenor of the island.
Of course it is the business of our hero, to rescue the govenor...

This story sounds very familiar but also very strange to you?

You're right! 

The Tale of Lonkey Island is a parody on the classic adventures of LucasArts. Everything is very similar, but also very different than in the original games.

Features:
- Classic old-school fan adventure
- Classic retro graphics and sounds
- Full length game
- English and German voice output to read for yourself
- includes 5 parts located on 3 different islands
- very freaked out story and puzzles including a lot of suprises
- alternative solutions and game ends
