Hey guys,

I just wondered if there's anyone here who knows something about this.


This is the deal:

I'm on a LAN and I am the 2nd computer. The other is obviously the host.

There is no Router, just a simple link-up cable. The Network works in terms of swapping local files back and forth etc.

When I try to open K-Lite is continuously says it's connecting but never does. I know this is a common question but it's really doing my head in. Everybody says it's something to do with port forwarding but I haven't got a clue which ports to forward to or how the hell to do that anyway. K-Lite works on the host computer. Could someone please show me a simple step by step guide please because I haven't really got a clue with all this networking business. Thanks in advance!

Right,

I'm putting out an audition for the part of Peter Reeve, the main character in STRANDED.

If anyone fancies been in it, then send me a ZIP containing a load of JPG's of yourself in a plain white shirt and dark tie, trousers and shoes and in various walking frames. You don't have to walk left AND right. Just walk one way or the other as the image can easily be mirrored.

This is what I'll need if you're interested: -

- Frames of you walking from left to right
- Frames of you walking to AND from the camera
- Frames of you bending down and picking up nothing
- Frames of you pretending to open a door

Snapshots must be 640x480 and of a reasonable quality.

SERIOUS applicants only please as I might need a few more shots later.

Your name would obviously be featured in the credits.

My email is:

Here's a picture of me - I'm not in a suit or anything but just want opinions on whether or not I could pull it off myself:

Is it possible to have a walkable area off-screen? i.e. I want a really close up shot of my character but his legs are off screen because the floor is out of view.

Hi, I've read the Custom Quit GUI section here (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/actutgui1.htm) but this was written before the latest version of AGS so a lot of the functions are invalid or have been omitted.

I've designed the actual interface and new buttons - no problem here.

The problem is how do I code the YES NO buttons? i.e. when it says 'are you sure you want to quit? YES NO' how do I make it quit if you click on the YES button and how do I make it resume the game when I click on the NO button?

I've searched through the manual and used the search function on here and still couldn't find anything on it, and I though it would have been a common question.

I'm designing my game in 640x480 resolution. No problem here. The problem is with my GUI. I'm customising the GUI to suit my own needs by importing new button graphics.

However, when I import them, the button graphics are at a lower resolution (looks to be 320x200 but not sure) - thus making them appear stretched and 'blocky' when I preview them in the game. The in-game backgrounds are all fine though.

Can anybody tell me how to import them or how to program the GUI to display the button graphics in a 640x480 resolution please?

Anyone else like this film? I think it's a very good sequel. Jaws 3 and 4 suck as we all know but I think the second movie is a real classic. It's on BBC1 right now, just thought I'd ask you guys what you thought of these films.

I've currently put 'Dick LaRenzo: Secret Agent!' on hold for a while while I make 'STRANDED'.

STRANDED is a PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR set in 2005.

You are tired and frustrated businessman Peter Reeve.

Here's the blurb:

During The Summer of 2005, a businessman was travelling in his car halfway across the country for a job interview.

Experiencing car problems, he pulled into an innocent-looking village.

This village wasn't on the map.

This is his story.

Enjoy!

This is the first time I've used AGS since the updates.

I was so used to the NewRoom function and upon finding out about this new ChangeRoom function, I'm completely lost.

I feel so embarassed because I was fluent in AGS before this and now, well, lol, y'know, I just feel silly.

But my problem is this -

All I want to do, believe it or not, is change from one room to the other.

This is for the main logo title screen to the menu screen so there's no characters that need moving or anything.

Before I could simply put NewRoom (2) or whatever but now when I put ChangeRoom (2) I get nothing but error messages about Undefined Tokens.

Please help me, I feel a right plonker!!!

Anyone know where to find a copy of this? I don't want the Pro version, I want the old dos-based 320x200 version...

I believe it's freeware now so I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me out or possibly email it to me?

I'm starting up my Dick LaRenzo: Secret Agent! game again and really need this for the cut-scenes.

Cheers in advance!

Daz.

Hi...

I wonder if you could help me out.

I've been designing my game for over a year and I've been designing it in 320x200 resolution with the letterbox option UNTICKED.

However, as of late, the game seems to always run in letterbox mode and I don't really know why.

The only thing I can think of is the fact that I recently converted from 256 colour to 16-bit colour...Could this be the reason why? And if so, why?

I hope you can help me out, your pal, Daz.

UPDATED: 9th OCTOBER 2005!!!

Just thought I'd let you all know, the game is back in production.

You'll have to COPY the shortcut into the browser window:

DEMO is available again - http://larenzo.web1000.com/setup.exe
SPEECH pack is available here too - http://larenzo.web1000.com/speech.zip










FEBRUARY 2004

Hi guys, I have been visiting this board for over a year now and have decided to join considering I have been working on a game for the last 7 months, lol.

The game, titled 'Dick LaRenzo: Secret Agent!' is my first attempt at a game and is a comedy adventure based around the title character.

LaRenzo is a failed Detective, probably due to his lack of forgetting-to-think-before-he-opens-his-mouth tactics. This leads to him retiring.

However, when he receives a strange telephone call from out of the blue he is thrown into a world of murder, betrayal, love and international film stars. Dick finally has a case...

The game is about 80% complete.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

P.S. I think this board is great!
