Thank you very much. Is it possible to put some GUIs one upon the other?

(By the way, I've looked on the last forum pages and didn't find a post which answered my question)

I am building a room in a 320X200 resolution. I am working in a "Simon" style: 134 pixels 'dedicated' to the room, 12 pixels to the text line and the rest to the inventory. So, when I'm building the room I should build it in 320X200 resolution and make the bottom part black? And when do I enter the text line?
Thank you.

Ok - thank you very much!

And I'll use this thread for another question: How much AGS programmer usually work on big projects?

But a quest isn't build like a movie - scenes and parts; it is a result of the gamer actions. People that want to see a script â€" what format are they expecting for?

In the last few days I'm looking for people to my project. After some posts people want to see the script.
Now - I know great how to write a script for the cinema, this is business, my work . But I don't know how you people think an AGS game script should look.
I'll be glad to see an example.
Thanks.

Ok, thanks a lot!

I have some more question so I won't open another topic:

1) Which program you think is best for working on AGS exept Paint - which I use right now?
2) I want to make water, so I made a small picture, and copied it 10 times, and when I looked it looked kind of stupied because I could see it was copied several times - what do you segest?
3) I want to make a place in the bottom of the screen with the inventory and the orders for the character. So when I draw the backgroud should I put in the place it should be a open place or just draw the background?
4) If I want to make a close-up of a paper or somthing else, How can I make one?

Oh, and very last thing: I looked for years for the Demo Game and I couldn't find it - someone?

Thanks thanks thanks!

Hello again!

Right now I'm building a small quest. Now - I wanted to ask you about types of  drawing. If I have a fireplace in the room (like in simon) all the room light is changing, so I need to make an "animate background"? Or what? I'm asking that because when I make fire, for example, it sound stupied to draw all the background ten times (I know it is copying and than changing but still). And if the fire is disappearing? So it can't be the backgrougd, right?

Thanks all!

Ok. thanks everyone!
One last question: how do you recomand to start work on scripting? Even understand how it's work? because when i look in the manual I have got head ache..

The first problem is that the character (not the main one) is standing in the edge of the screen (in the walkable area) and when it's sapouse to move he's just standing there, and the text he should say while he is moving is shown, without disappearing and you can't move with the main charactor while it is (not) being done.

And about the scripts: I loaded them, and than what? I don't understand.

"cEgo.Walk (100, 200, eBlock);
cEgo.Say ("Well, here I am");"

I under stand I shoud pot it in the script box, but how it's combine with everything else? And how did you learn all the scripts?

hello you all!

I must say that ags is one of the most perfect things in the world. i played tens of quests and when i saw i can make some myself i was very happy.

I started my work one week ago, and read all the tutorials. They helped me very much, but when you want to start working hard, you see it's not enogh.

I entered the database and read more, and understood some things i didn't know.

Now, I started my game and still I had some problems. So, I understood this is the time to register to the forum.

well, after my introdaction I shall ask you my questions:

1. I want to start my game with a very big cutscene, but i have some problems with it. When I'm telling one of the characters to move from a one place to the other when the player stands on a hotspot and say something he just saying it without stoping, stuck in the place and nothing alse is moving, because it is stuck too.

2. I've downloaded two plugins:
Simple Rain
&
Character Control

I activated them in the Module Manager but than what? I read the scripting tutorial but I didn't understand very much. I will be glad for help.

3. I have read the "Making a custom Quit GUI" tutorial and it says that if I use the last version I can't use the explanation. I already made the Quit GUI but again, maybe because I don't understand the scripting I don't know how to make it work.

I had more questions but I'll wait first for the answers, and than ask more.
Thanks again for everyone - I'm glad I found this place!
