Monkey Island: The New Adventure.

The Story:
'¨'¨'¨'¨'¨'¨'
Sorry, we have not made one up yet.

The System:
'¨'¨'¨'¨'¨'¨'¨'
We thought that making the original Monkey Island system would take too
much time, so we made up our own.

When you want to interact with anything, just simply press the right mouse button
(if you have anyÃ,  ). We have totally changed the look of the inventory
so we added "Use", "Examine", "Put back to inventory", and "Close.

The "Use" button is being used if you decide to use a inventory object (Much use there?)
so you can simply press use then on the object, close the inventory and choose what you want
to use it on. The "Examine" button is being pressed if you want to examine something.
Press it, then the inventory object, and then you can see information about it.
"Put back to inventory" is being pressed if you decide to use a object, then you decide
that you dont want to use it again, so then you press it to put it back.
And at last, the "Close" button which simply closes the inventory.

Extra Notes:
'¨'¨'¨'¨'¨'¨'¨'
The demo is very small, we know that already, but it took alot of effort to do it since
me myself isnt a pro at it. Hehe.
Please, report back any bugs you find and we will fix them in our next version.

Hey guys,

I found a driver problem with AGS.
Actually when I add music to my game and play, it works for a while,
then sometimes it quit so i cant hear anything after several times of play.

So I reinstall the soundcard drivers one time (fully), restart, works.
And then the music works, then disappears again..
Do I need to reinstall the drivers just to try out my game?

I can although play the music in seperate media player, but not when I compiled it
and test play it <---(If it have disappeared).

Odd, is it a bug in AGS or is it something with my computer?

Hello,

I am wondering something about when you defragment your computer.
I heard that it is good to defragment fragmented data,
but I also heard that when it pack the files it can affect performance....
So my question is:

Is it good or bad to defragment?

Anyone tried it?
After the look on the screenshots I decided to try it.

Anyone else tried it?

Hey guys,

Well, I am pretty new to the AGS stuff and I just finished the sprites atm (much work).
So, I want to get over to the cursors now. I am developing a Monkey Island game and
I really would like to have a MI cursor which works..

I done the sprites and the cursor interface, and I can use it.
But I replaced all the old Look, Take, Talk default stuff with same cursor..
Now I want the cursor to be 1 and not 6 or what it is..

By default the cursor is Take, Look, Walk etc etc..
I just want 1 so I dont have to cycle through all Walk, Look etc.

Hope You get my point..

EDIT:
I deleted the few lines which made the cursor cycle and now it works perfect..

Since the difficulty to make the Monkey Island GUI with Look and take and that stuff, I
am makeing my own system (you can see it in the demo I will release soon).
Anyhow, I made a hotspot, and used the interaction "Interactions > Any click on hotspot,
and then I input what was going to happend..

So I test my game but when I click on the hotspot the character only moves to it,
he wont follow what will happend, he just goes to it and nothing like if i had no hotspot,
and the things that shoulg happend wont happend..

Hello guys,

Okay Ima go straigh to line here,

I have View1 and View2 here, okay.. And in this case I will use View2..
So I have 1 frame in Loop 0 (Down), and more frames in Loop 1 (Left), Okay..
Now I want Loop 0 to be enabled and moving towards a X and Y point.
I done that now, okay.. Then it reaches the x and y point, so I want it to
jump to Loop 1, WHEN it has reached the x and y point..

I tried:

*object*.SetView(2, 0);
*object*.Visible = true;
*object*.Move(155, 180, 2);
*object*.Visible = false;
*object2*.Visible = true;

With the code above, I wanted the object in Loop 0 to move to a postion then
it will disappear and the object in Loop 1 would be visible, so it LOOKS LIKE
the object are being replaced at a position, but as you can see, it
will disappear and the other object (object2) will appear..

Something is wrong now with this code..

I simply want object1 to go to a position then start animating object2

Hello,

I recently found some odd thing out here,

It all started when I tried to make a game in AGS a wonderful day.
I putted on music, gfx etc etc and tried to play it. Everything went smooth
but not the music. I couldnt hear any.  I sended to my mate and he could here it.
Anyhow.

I downloaded the soundcard drivers, AC97 for my soundcard.
Reinstalled, and tried again. This time I COULD hear music.. WOOW..
Then, I dont know what happend, but I tuned a bit with my game and tried again.
Now I have no music!!

I suspect that AGS have deleted the drivers, and as soon I reinstall the drivers,
the music will work smooth, for 1 time, then it deletes them again.

I dunno if this is a bug in AGS or if something have affected my hardware (Virus) or something. But I got 2 antivirus programs instantly protecting the computer,
so I dont think it is any virus. Can this possibly be AGS?

I know this is a long topic but please, please, help.. I love AGS in others,
and it would be great if this could be fixed somehow.

Hello guys,

I would like to know what the limits of nudity and gore is for creating and posting a game.
Shall the limit be max when a character is being displayed naked or
is the limit when the 2 characters is in the middle of a sex scene?
So you get my point.

Hello mates,

I have a problem playing music..
Well, I added the file onto the Music folder in the game folder.
Now I try the code:

PlayMusic(1)

It is in .mid format (in other words a midi file).

Now when I start up the game, I dont hear any music.
Well, I really doubt that I have the right interaction.

What is the right interaction to play a musicfile on Room Load??

Regards,

Hello guys,

I tried to play up a midi with the code command:

PlaySilentMidi(1);

Okay, everything okay, so far..
I tried to test play the game and it crashed and gave me a error (see also this thread.

Is this a bug or is it just me?

Thanks,

.... do you write games in AGS in?? C/C++ or some AGS stuff based on a specific language??

It would be good if it is C/C++, then I could continue learning it at the same time I see my result in a good way..

Hello all cool adventure gamers,

I just started a intensive project in AGS and I named it Days Offline, which I found
out the days that my internet crashed. Im not going to go into detail of the project since
I havent got enough detail myself just yet. But for my project to be started I need an
simple anwser for an simple question, I think.

I made a sprite in Paint, Windows default painting program.
I imported him into AGS, now I am getting a purple background, which I want to make transperent.
I ignored that for the moment and putted the sprite into the game, but when I start
the purple, ugly, background follows with him. I just want the sprite, not the pruple background.

Is there some way to make the purple background transperent so it wont follow with the sprite?

Adios,

---

Well, actually, the title depends on the experience you have with AGS.
To the problems:

1.
''''
I have Photoshop, How can I draw old-looking sprites like Guybrush from Monkey Island 1    and 2? When I draw anything it will look like a highcolor (16-bit) sprite.

2.
'''''
When I make a game, then go to the folder, it shows 2 icons (gamename.exe and WinSetup.exe). Under the name it says Chris Jones, and something more. Can I change those?

'''''

It would be good if you could tell me the solution of both, but also the solution of 1 question
is good. I need the information because I am working on a adventuregame called "Days Offline." and I want to get forward with it.

Thanks again.

Adios,

Hello and thanx for reading this topic... I will be very glad if you can reply.. My problem is this:
When i try starting a game made in AGS a error comes up saying:

"There was a problem initializing graphics mode 320x200 (16-bit)
(Problem: 'can not set video mode')
Try to correct the problem or visit the AGS homepage.

Possible cause: your graphic card drivers do not support this resolution. Run the game setup program and try the other resolution."


Please reply as soon as you can i would appriciate that very much..
