Where's Waldo? No idea, but he ran away so fast that he accidently lost his scarf which is now falling to the ground. 



3 colors, not *really* transparency. I altered the outline slightly (at the "head").

/EDIT: Wait, it's Waldo, not Valdo.

Well, I have a simple reason why I won't install Vista: My hardware wouldn't run with DirectX 10! And why else should I get it? I don't want fancy 3D windows. I don't want transparency effects. I don't want userfriendlyness. Can you hear me?

I WANT A NOT FRIENDLY, UGLY, FOCUSED-ON-FUNCTIONALITY AND WORKING SYSTEM!

Just to show them, I'll get either a cracked version of it or crack it myself (not that I have too much experience with that). Then I'll put it on hundreds of sites. Then I'll burn the cracked version on thousands of CDs and leave them in public places. Then I'll spam it to everyone via spambots. Then I'll hack the Microsoft website and put the cracked Vista for free download.

...well, not really. But someone should do that 

It's true that it's impossible to make create REALLY working copy protection.
And it's good that way. Seriously, if they sold everything at a sane price (50â,¬ for Battlefield 2142, as an example - good game, but full of bugs AND advertisement AND non-working stuff AND Battlefield 2 is still sold at 40â,¬ AND is full of bugs still.) this issue would at least shrink. Really, if you could buy songs for what they are worth - about 5â,¬ maximum per CD - what would be the point of cracking?

I think I'm going to throw up 

I wouldn't advise you to try it, but you could certainly get this working.

If I was you, I'd use regions and use the following type of code in repeatedly_execute (the room one):

(no idea if region[0] is correct, though)

Code: ags

if (Region.GetAtXY(cMer1.x, cMer1.y)==region[0]) cMer1.ChangeRoom(room,x,y); //replace room,x,y with your targets
else if (Region.GetAtXY(cMer1.x, cMer1.y)==region [1]) cMer1.ChangeRoom(room,x,y); //same here
//and so on.

Of course, never place him on another room-change region.

Another way would be to get the ccs (Character Control System) plugin, which provides good functionality for handling NPCs.

Much better!

If something resembles you, then it looks like you in some way. If something resembles xp, then it looks like xp in some way. You can't say "resembles me of xp", you'd say "that resembles xp". Got me?

Yup, thank you 

uninstall Steam? What on earth for?

Let's say,

Code: ags

if ((MostSteamUsers==idiot)&&(MostSteamUsersAreIdiots)) return 1;
else return 0;

Will return 1. 
Not seriously. I just don't like steam.

Why would I want extension names to show?

If you get a file "Message.txt.exe" and you have "Show extensions" off, you'll see "Message.txt" and, if you open it, install a virus on your PC. I'd really, REALLY advise you to turn "Show extensions" ON.

Why would I want to remove my shortcut to AGS? Or do you mean to just rename it?

Just remove that "Shortcut to..." from the name.

You don't have to do any of this (apart from the extension thing) but that's what I would do in your place (well, apart from the steam thing, I guess).

I could agree with that. And what's wrong about my wording? Would "reminds me of xP" be better?

[bad]

worst desktop EVER

Fixed 

Nothing which even closely resembles me of WINDOWS xP is bad. Bad bad bad. Also, remove that "Shortcut to..." thing, uninstall steam, and let extension names show. Here's how a desktop should look like:



However, I'm always amazed of seeing topics shift slowly  :

/EDIT: The file is named "tr0n", not "pr0n". "Tr0n". With "t". Pervert  .

Guess where "Akatosh" comes from.

...

...

...

Right, The Elder Scrolls. Picked that nick when Morrowind was brand new and used it since back then.

EGA graphics + Good music = Great
EGA graphics + Good music + No Text Parser = Great²

No Verb guessing! Hooooray!

* Akatosh is looking forward to this game...

Well, I don't know why, but suddenly my mind went all "Geez, probably there are people who don't know how a bastion host workds!" 

The Securipedia will both be a kind of "help function" if you, for example, don't know the settings of a packet filter and needed for one or two puzzles, for example, you'll need a certain vital information to crack the bastion host.

/EDIT: I hope I won't get problems for too much realism... I just realised I actually used Wikipedia as a source for security systems. Good thing everything else is quite non-realistic 
I added a disclaimer to the first post, though. Don't expect an explanation how the password_cracker works (although this is so... obvious)

I think your parrot should only be able to repeat phrases somebody said to him.

My English isn't perfect and flawless. I just object to other's language flaws

@KhrisMUC: Of course, that would be much "easier". Why take the easy way when there's a hard one?

Welcome to the forums. Before I answer your question, please do the following when you ask your next question:

1.) Post a screenshot instead of unreadable ASCII "art".
2.) Check your spelling.
3.) Write proper english.

Now your answer: You can directly manipulate x and y co-ordinates of your character via a script.

Code: ags

cEgo.x= //your target x
cEgo.y= //your target y

I really hate triple posting, but I have to bump this thread once again. Any mods, delete the post above if you feel like.

/EDIT: Thank you.

Sorry, I hate to bump old threads, but I really have to ask that question... I take any interest in this project has died?

[_Access]

Am I shameless enough to enter my own game?
Hell, yeah.

_Access



http://dasjoe.de/ags/AccessDemo.zip

For:
Best Gameplay - If you know how to use the GUI known as "Windows", you know how to use the _Access GUI.

Best Non-Player Character - The whole AGS chat channel 

Best Demo - Because it's a demo.

Best Non-Adventure Game - Come on, you all want to be a hacker.

Most innovative use of AGS - More outside-the-box isn't possible... although I'm pretty sure my chances on getting this award are 0.0%... and this isn't community-decided...

Qui custodiet ipsos custodient? There should be another way to solve that problem than fighting the symptoms of a society which depresses kids and gets them interested in bombs and stuff. And if that's making up a fake forum with 300 bots 

/EDIT: Geez, I hate Latin 

/EDIT: Wait, 'custodere' or whatever the infinitive of that word was is written with 'c', not 'q'

Well, I'd try

Code: ags

if (keycode==87) { // W
if (cBill.Moving==true) cBill.StopMoving();
else cBill.WalkStraight(cBill.x, cBill.y-200,eNoBlock);
}

When you hit W and he's standing, he starts walking. If he's already walking, he stops doing so.

As long as the Yahtzee and "Herculean Effort Productions" bots keep releasing games I'm happy 

Although, a more active Pumaman bot would have been nice...
