Hey everyone

Just wondering how to make a vox that only contains speech files and not sound effects too? I'm thinking of including an optional, downloadable speech pack for my game, but if you use sound files, it gets compiled into one .vox file which contains both sound fx and speech.  

Hey everyone, I'm not sure if this belongs here, but here goes

in my game I have a puzzle where you need to piece together a letter that was torn into several pieces. I started out by making a room with a layout of the completed letter, and then added the torn pieces as objects.

I tried different ways of getting the pieces to move, firstly by scripting it that when the player clicks on a certain piece, the object is turned off and mouse cursor then looks like the object the player clicked on. Then the player has to click on the correct hotspot to move the object into place, and the cursor returns to normal.

Originally what I wanted was the ability to click on an object and move it while holding the mouse button down, eventually having moved all 15 of the pieces into the correct places, the player should have an assembled letter, which would then be added into their inventory.

Can someone help me with scripting this or give me an idea what to do, I have no programming background and can only do basic scripting...

Hey everyone

I've been working on an Adventure Game this week and have done enough to complete a demo... I'm pretty excited about it, I have a good storyline, etc. I'll upload the demo to a website when I get back to work, it's quite hefty so far at 21MB, but it's not even nearly complete, there is still a LOT of work to be done.

It uses a lot of still photos and I use real photos for backgrounds and inventory objects etc, some of them are modified a little - my aim was mainly to create a detective game in the spirit of the Tex Murphy games by access software - but it is not a clone thereof. My cutscenes are mainly inspired by the comic booky type panels one would see in Max Payne, since I don't have the resourses to do full blown animation and cannot really include FMV movies.  It takes place in today's times and does not feature mutants, etc. I took more of a Sierra \ Lucasarts approach in terms of exploration and inventory - you see your character onscreen in 3rd person when travelling and walking around, but mainly talk to characters in 1st person.

I've even taken some screenshots for your viewing pleasure...











And here is a general description of what it is about  

Take on the role of hardened P.I. , Johnny Danger in a mystery that starts out as a routine missing persons case, but turns out to be much bigger and much more dangerous than expected.
