Whenever I add a new object to any room, and try to move it in place (drag with mouse), the AGS deletes the background, crashes and gives the following error:



It tells it has something to do with Arial font. But how the hell does that matter here? Besides, my arial font is fine. WTF?

Baffled. I can not do absolutely ANYTHING.


EDIT:

OK, Replacing the Arial registry got around it. It was my mistake after all. Been hard time getting used to this new AGS interface.

Why hasn't anyone started a topic on this yet?


I just saw the clips in the news and it really saddened me to see all those peoples homes destructed. Damn sleazy Russia!

Clearly pre-planned course of events. Now its not only the matter of South-Ossetia, bombs are spreading forward. It is expected that Tibilsi will fall under attack soon. However, I am glad to hear that Georgian Army has started a good strikeback. If it were only in my power to help Georgia..


RussiaToday:
"The fighting in South Osstian capital, Tskhinvali, is continuing with Georgian troops once again entering the city. There are reports that Georgian Special Forces have been throwing grenades into basements where women and children are sheltering." Someting tells me not to absolutely believe this.

Hello!

I have a problem. This Adobes Imageready is driving me nuts! I know you can make some web pages with it, but I need it only for animation and PNG files with alpha-channel. It has so many unnecessary menus. But that isn't the main problem.

the thing is, i draw all my sprites with oldschool style, on a single sheet, using nothing more than MS Paint! So far it has worked great if I use single frames. I know the frames work as an animation, so don't argue. But now I am in a point i need to put this stuff into gif animation so I could get the right timing and a programmer could implement it into a game more easily. I use Imageready and this doesn't let me paste the sprites. Oh, well, it does, but when I have a layer selected and a layer selected, it automatically makes a new layer and pastes everything into all layers! I have about 100 of them, so manual editing is a no-no. Fuck. How can i paste things only there where I want them to? Grr. Fuck this shit, I am throwing my computer pout of the window right now!

Oh, I can't place the stuff because as I mentioned, I select, copy and paste it from a single sheet, I don't have the sprites as separate bmp files because saving them would be pointless extra work.

All this big program and nothing but time waste... 


HELP?

Hello folks!

Today I ran into a serious problem. Recently I installed some updates for divx player and it included some google desktop... whatever that is. It became an annoiance and so I uninstalled it through add or remove programs. But today out of nowhere there is this google toolbar on my firefox browser window. The probblem is, I already have one included IN the firefox. And besides I don't want half of my screen being filled with various toolbars... So I checked the add/remove programs again and found it, uninstalled it and nothing changed, its stuck on my firefox like a leech!
How can I uninstall it? Losing it would be good, but it is better if I get it completely out of my precious computer.

And what the hell is msn sign-in assistant?

I just hate it when those tiny upgrades and add-ons pile up and finally flood my computer so it becomes a real mess when you want to find anything.

Thanks!

Hello, I have a problem.

Since my windows XP doesn't function perfectly anymore and IE is completely wasted, I tried to do format c today.
But, it doesn't boot. Damn, I press any key and it just doesn't work, like it doesn't recognize I have a keyboard. But it loads BIOS perfectly. BIOS settings should be ok, according to my knowledge.
All it does, it wants me to press some key, what I do, and then it just ignores it and loads up windows. In BIOS, 1-st boot is CDROM, and all the others are disabled , like

In the past, there have been cases when windows doesn't switch on my keyboard or mouse, in that case I just had to restart the PC until it did. I thought the problem was that my HUB wasn't working, but mouse isn't connected to the HUB, and today I removed the HUB completely, connecting the keyboard to PC directly.

I wonder why its acting like this??? Is it really some truly hardcore virus that has eaten itself into BIOS or just my stupidity or what?

Hello!

I've been making this game and now I have reached to the point where I need to know if it is possible to use vectors in AGS, maybe with some script or module or something? Well, basically, I need just one vector active at the time. I want a wirelike line behind a moving characterlike sprite, so a little curve in it is needed too. You can see an example in Gateway II: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/372340 while picking up the TV wire in first room.
I warn you, I am absolutely new to AGS scripting and don't know much anything. So, if it is possible to do this, I will probably need your help or "crafted from wood and painted red" example.

Thank you.
