here's some pics of the interface i made...
It's something i've been toying with for the past couple of days, trying to get my head around the character3d plugin.
I have some characters all made up and animated, and im working on a swordfighting system... If i could get an interesting storyline, i think this would be worth persuing. If not i suppose it will just be more experimental trash

Verb scroll(positioned near mouse when it is called up):


Inventory(always centred):

Thank you guys very much, if there's any way i can help you out in terms of graphics (of any kind, 2d, 3d) just drop me a PM

That's really weird, i could have sworn i already tried that and got an error :/

Now my only problem is making it recognise characters, objects and items... didnt think of that

Ok, that's a huge breakthrough for me. Thanks. I have a feeling i can make this work now, but i will keep you posted.
Thankyou very much.

Ok, forget my last post.
I refined it a bit and now my only problem is what damn function i use to append one string to another string.

sorry, im retarded xD
and that doesnt make sense anyway, but

String action = Hotspot.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y).GetTextProperty("hand");

"Structure required on left side of '.'"

[Edited:]

can you do that?
i will try

string action = Hotspot.GetAtScreenXY (mouse.x, mouse.y).GetTextProperty ("hand");


Compile:

Cannot assign value to string, use StrCopy.

Edited: Don't double post.

[What I want to achieve:]

Ok this seems like it should be a simple thing, but with the changes in variable commands and so in the current AGS it's doing my head in
(even something like string = "hi"; returns errors for me)

What I want to achieve:

A status bar that shows the "action" you are about to take, ala SCUMM system. But there is a difference. I have a menu with minimal options, just mouth, hand, and eye. I dont want a player to have hand selected and the status bar say "use hotspot" when he would actually be picking it up. So, i want to conditionally have different "sub actions" using the same "mother action" for different hotspots. Using mouth on a person would say "talk to person," and using mouth on food would say "eat food."
I hope this is all clear.

What I have already:

A set of string properties for hotspots; "hand" "eye" "mouth" I figured this would be the easiest way to have different actions for each hotspot. The "mouth" property for a person would be "Talk to " for example, and the repeatedly_execute function that updates the status bar would simply tack the name of the hotspot in question onto the end of this string and display it.

The problem i am having is that im not sure how to retrieve a property from the hotspot that the player is currently hovering over.

I have been playing around with this for a couple of days now and i really love it, the celshading is really fun to mess with. Some things i wanna ask though...
1.Add a ScaleMoveSpeed property to 3d characters
2.I think it'd be really cool if you made it so when a character turns to change direction or face something, it makes a smooth turn, even if there are still only 8 directions.

this seems to have worked. Might i ask, has anyone tried animations of ~20frames in ms3d format? it seemed to crash mine.

I ket "parse error at const" every time i try to save a game with this plugin... did i miss something?

I got this same problem, sucks bad...
Could anyone shed some new light?

edit: and Akumayo, Did you find that your inventory items "clickable hotspot" was offset and weird?

Aww, it's wee Jack Sparrow,
his compass already pointing due his desires
and ever ready to hoist the Jolly Roger should the occasion arise!

Edit: Ooops, had the wrong one uploaded. Fixed now!

I think if you fixed his legs you'd have a winner. You look like you have the skill to know what i mean, but if you arent sure, pm me.
I know, not my place to say, but thought you might appreciate it. if not, ignore.

I was asked to write a traditional Caribbean style raggae tune for a game project. I'm not sure if I nailed it though. Does it strike you as boring? Does it need a more pronounced lead melody?

This is awesome work, it would be "boring" to listen to alone, but in a game it would be perfect - not too intrusive and ideal to work alongside visuals.

Nice reflections, well done.

there are about 12 hours left till i announce the winner. so if someone has an animation the time to enter is now!

Would i lose points for my stupidity resulting in colour loss when exporting the animated GIF?

Updated the first post with a new screenie. Removed an obsolete one and will replace with the updated version soon.

Did Satan influence a certain caveman to club his neighbour and steal his woman?

Satan is a nickname, it's the hebrew word for "enemy." His name as an angel was lucifer. He is very misunderstood as far as i am concerned. He didnt challenge god's throne like people say he did. He thought that humans didnt need to follow god's law to live in peace, to govern themselves - being of socialist ideal, i can quite sympathise with him... And i suppose in a way it is challenging god, but it isnt so that he can take over, which is what was commonly thought.
