Good day all,
I was wondering on the homepage of AGS is the artwork made by Igor, and is that game finished or just for showcase?
Thanks )

Hey, lol.
I wanted to celebrate my 1000th post, which was coming for the last few years as I was always on the 9-hundreds. I felt General discussion forum wasn't really the place where I wanted to celebrate this oh-so-big event  , and also it says before entering Adventure-related talk and chat, that:
"If it's AGS or adventure-related, and it's not technical, it goes here."
And I wish to think of it as AGS related, and AGS as a community.   Usually when I'm really bored and forget about facebook and those other nasty habits that make up my life, I come back here where I feel really warm, I must tell you. I came here when I was 14, with big teen-like plans on making the next best thing. At least for my taste. I'm almost 23 now, still young tho', but much more capable and experienced than before. I see that I couldn't have picked a better moment as Back 2 the future is out (!!) and that will probably be the first real adventure game (not counting a few AGS ones I catch up with now and then - props to Journey down, of course) that I will play, I'll try even every episode. I wasn't this excited for ToMI, tho' I tried to play it but long story short, I've had technical problems (old hardware/even software)... I plan on catching up tho. Even with the final chapter of MI4, I never got to finish that old thing, didn't hold on to me really. Prolly getting a fairly new comp. in Jan so I'll do some catching up as I've put my college time on hiatus It is just something I felt I had to do, hmm.

Lastly, I also noticed the responses on the forums aren't very prompt anymore, am I right? Some thread titles also implicate the decay of AGS?

But aside with the grim, what have you been reaping lately?

With this post I just wanted to pay homage to this community that I believe is one of it's kind in many ways. The humor, the intelligence and the creativity is what kept me coming back here, and I'll always remember this place as a putting your dreams into reality type of place.

Now I'm talking too much and saying nothing at all

regards from czar; one of the many.  

With no reason, I was wondering how many of you smoke, or have ever smoked?
If you managed to stop, tell us why and how, and if you still smoke share your view on it all.

I am a smoker, and lately I'm starting to believe that a lot of my procrastination problems are related to this activity. Anybody have the same feelings about this?

Hey all, what's up?

I was wondering if you knew about some videos of crazy kids playing video games. I have a presentation about it next week @ college.

I think the crazy german kid is the winner, although he's a bit long. I also remember another kid playing Unreal or CS (older vid) and then he's like smashing his monitor with his fist, but it's a tragedy as he is hurt by it and doesn't really smash it hard, even though he is vividly upset. hehe 

Anyways, any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Ok, so it took me five years from being introduced to AGS to actually start working on something we could call a game.
So I've been up all night and I seem to have problems with reading the manual.

What I have is the basic problem with script definitions... :

I seem to run into same the same problems, whenever i try to connect something with something I wrote I get parse errors, unexpected or already defined error messages.

The easiest thing for me to understand it would be on an example. (Btw I tried DLing the demo quest, and besides the fact that I'm currently on dial-up, it stops on 8%)

What I'm trying to do is after an option in dialog 1 is to run a script

i put run-script 1
and then try to call it with dialog_request (even tho' i don't know where or how should i write the script correctly).


To put things short.
How do i make after an option in dialog for both players (cEgo and cNeso) to go to room 2?
Where do i put what?
Where do i put variable definitions.

Why

function dialog_request(1) {
cEgo.ChangeRoom(2)
cNeso.ChangeRoom(2)
}

doesn't work?

Hey all.

I'm planning on getting into a Multi Level Marketing thing. I mean the one where you send 5 bucks to the person on the top of a 5 e-mail list and in about a month, if everything goes as planned you should get 15 000 bucks. It sounds very naive I know, but the plan convinced me and in life I'm usually an optimist so I want to try it out.

The original plan I uploaded on <link censored> so you can check it out if you're interested. The OP also is made to work on PayPal, but PayPal doesn't support my country (or many others for that fact) so I want to try the same thing, only with Moneybookers.

That's it for now, gotta run.
I just want to know if anybody has EVER tried this and tell me his experience, and I want to know what you personally think about all of this.

Peace.

I'm 19 now.   

I find this very amusing.

Thanks for viewing.
Today on the radio I heard some song I've heard a million times before and about 20 mins ago it came to me that I want to download it.

Now, I remember the melody, and I believe the host was saying it was a ronan keating song. If it is not necessary, I would rather not hum the melody on my microphone, but rather I'd like you to make something out of these lyrics (they are app.):

.....the whole world (?to see?) that/and I don't want to miss you again....

obviously, these are not the real lyrics because I tried googling them, but if someone knows what I'm talking about, I'd appreciate it if he would post the info here.

peace

The guard in front of the gate? How do I get him to turn so I can sneak in the mansion?
Has anyone come this far?
Am I doing it all wrong?

Hey all.

I need help in finding the song from Sin City that comes right at the beginning after the salesman(?) shoots the girl. I believe it starts with a bass and a crooked trumpet. I was looking around a bit for names of songs from the movie, but in most cases people only talk about the song from the trailer, the servant one.

So, anyone knows what I'm talking about and is ready to help?

Peace.

Well, the title says it all, something to enjoy these festive days with, in a cozy place.
But, you need to know the configuration of them first.
The one that is the main, this one, is a standard (3 years old i believe) P4 2.4Ghz, 512 DDR, GeForce Ti4200 128DDR, then there are two laptops, one is a P3 on 700Mhz i believe and the other is a Celeron on 1.5Ghz with 256MB (it says DDR2 and then SDRAM).

Anyways. What I'm looking for is a fun game, no matter what genre, that me and my friends can play. As you see the graphics aren't and can't be a priority.

FPS, racing, RTS, platformers...! just shoot!

And a Merry Xmas too.

In case some of you haven't heard, the notorious www.abandonia.com made a sister site named Abandonia reloaded at www.reloaded.org, which is with contents much similar to what we are doing here, so be sure to check it out, even for a glance.

As you may or may not have heard, this is the new pope, and he was chosen today, not even hours ago.
I want to hear your opinions.

- meaningless now -

Hey all.

I was thinking.
Actually, it came to me while surfing the forums.
How many of you would support this idea of mine, which i will explain now.

The idea is this.

Have you ever came to the forums after a few days of absence or even on your regular visit, and wondered: "Hmm, what threads are interesting to read. What thread should i check now.
But, there are so many of them, and i dont have time to read them all, and this topic sure doesnt explain the half of the contenent in this thread.
What if they have gone OT and are discussing something familiar and interesting to me, instead of the stuff that is written in the topic."

My solution to this would be that there is a number of AGS members who read the threads and then post a summary, or actually the peak (would that be the word) of the thread in a way that everybody can see it without bothering, above the forums, the way CJ notices us about stuff (delete unneeded PMs, forum change, etc.).
They would post it on a different page(something like the studio were it is all processed), and then put by CJ or some editor up on the ?promt box place?. Or even without the editor.
But there should be order.

So what are your oppinions.
Are you ready for change? Are you ready for simplifying with work?

OH Yeah!

Despite all the rough game the Germans pushed through, despite all the injuries our players had, WE WON THE GOLD MEDAL IN HANDBALL!!!!

Croatia is the ULTIMATE winner.
There are no words to describe the victory of the real game against game of thugs.

This truly is a good day.

I hope that

I was just watching the Olympic Games,
and I the game between the USA and Puerto Rico was on.

For the first time in history of the Olympics, USA lost.
I was watching it, and their performance was very bad, most of the 3s were missed, only close shots weresuccesful.
Of course the reason could be that this year it wasn't a dream team playing, or it ould be the coach's fault.

Anyone got any thoughts on it?

Yeah well, now we see how far can people go.

But I believe it was all in good spirit (locking them doors), so i guess we can forgive the boss.
