Good work!

Looks very nice. Good work ! 

These backgrounds are generated and not drawn, right?

Thanks for the comments.

The reason is that I have health issues and therefore no time to draw them myself. Actually I can do the artwork as you can see from the banner. By the way it is not easy to create the right background image you need.

I had to fight the AI to find the correct images  .

Thank you all for your support.

 

Thanks for the nice comments. I will do my best. 

Thanks for the support @Rik_Vargard

Hi,

I think I will give it a try. I might make a tutorial for this module.

Question: @artium Can you show me how you used a custom sprite to highlight the hotspots. Can you provide the script?

I will let you know.

Until then...

Happy coding.

Thanks.

Hi

Nice offer. Can you provide more info on how you would make the payments?

By the way you can check my AGS tutorials on Youtube:

Thanks.

The game is text based and the lip sync frames are like this

A/E (Frame 0)
B/C/D/F/... (Frame 1)
O/U (Frame 2)

The thing is that this works on an older game that I made with 3.6.1. I even tried to update the game to 3.6.1 and did not work either. I will check the frames again to be sure they are correctly set.

Update: I found the problem. Since I am using "SayBubble Module" the sync is not working. There is a solution with an invisible font () but I am not sure how to use it. I think I will stick to the normal speech mode. 

Thanks.

Hi,

Since I am working with 3.6.0 on a new project I cannot fix something in the editor.

The "Lip Sync" is not working. I would be happy if anyone give me some tip how I could solve this problem.

Thanks for your help.

 

Yeah it is possible.

But i think I will go with 3.6.0 first to finish the game. At least the demo. I will share it on "AGS Games in Development" segment. But I need to develop the game furter to publish the info.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am sending the link as a private message. The game info is confidential.

Thank you for your support.

Sorry,

I could not make out why this happened. At least I know it happened after adding or creating the dialog. The dialog error occured. Then this error came to be. I tried to run AGS 3.6.1 again but it showed me this error.

So I transfered the game to 3.6.0, which I think is more stable.

Thanks for your consideration.

Hi,

Here is the screenshot:

Hi,

I will send the Screenshot since I cannot find the copied error message.

I have some stuff to do today but I will share the screenshot.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

I think I was a little out of track regarding dialog scripts.

Thanks @Crimson Wizard and @Khris for your support.

PS: Problem solved on AGS 3.6.0 but AGS 3.6.1 crashed. I will go with 3.6.0

Thanks for all your help.

Hi,

Yes I only have one dialog in the game. And all brackets are closed. Dialog stops at line 28.

I do not understand the error logic.

Thank you.

Hİ,

I don't know if this topic fits here but I never had this problem before. I checek the dialog and could not find the solution. I am using the AGS 3.6.0 version but the error consisted in the 3.6.1 version too.

Here is a screenshot:



Thanks in avance.

Thanks. I will use the module with my new game too. It really adds to gameplay.

I thank you again for your efforts.

Keep it up.

 

The logic of the inventıry is like that.
Player selects one item from the inventory. Then chooses what to do with it: Use it on other inventory object or on a hotspot. Means, you cannot use the selected inventory item on another inventory item to select that one.

This is the basic. Is this the right answer to your question?
