I'd actually be interested in hearing about the context for this.Ã,  I can't seem to think of a way this could be justified.Ã,  Kids being sexually abused is not exactly funny.

I just can't understand why you'd be proud of some of these things.

Here's a prime example of things WAY out of context, and stretched to their limit (M.H. is a bit of an exagerator)
This is one of the things I considered taking off the list before deciding not to tamper with it, because your right, it isn't funny.

when a kid you knew was supposedly molested, rather than offer him the advice a friend usually does, you laughed at him and said that it wasn't his fault the teacher had a bad childhood,

The kid was one of my friends, and I was offering him advice, and he said something about it being his fault, and I told him that these things usually happen because the offender had a difficult childhood, and that it wasn't my friend's fault.

you told that same kid that he now goes to "Bob's School for Girls" with the full expectation of offending him

This one's just a lie altogether.Ã,  One of the other kids at our school made up "Bob's School for Girls" with full expectation of offending my freind.Ã,  I'm not sure of M.H. misunderstood that or just wants to blame me.

And "Illuminare Acqua" Akumayo, I'm sorry to have to set an age limit, but I don't want to be responsible for anyone underage.Ã,  It's nothing personal and I know it sucks, but that's the rule I'm setting down.Ã,  SorryÃ,  .

I understand completely, no worries.  I'll be 18 eventually, and AGS will probably still be around by then.

Why can't I be 18? 
It's the closest AGS meeting to me ever...



Oh well, I'm over it now.

I am not a horrible person, as I pointed out, most (almost all) of it is taken way out of context, in order to make it sound far worse than it was.  And, we've already been over the attention thing.
Most of the 'jokes' are inside ones, and you would indeed have had to be there for them to take full effet, but I'm glad I made someone smile anyhow.

No need for apoligies Nacho 
The attention thing was brought up by Oneway, and was directed to them.

It's not really talking in third person, Mad Hatter named the 'report' "100 Reasons Not to Trust Akumayo".  I posted it because I thought it was funny that he would take the time to list off all of these things, and post them online.  It was NOT an attempt at attention, but an attempt at making someone out there laugh.

Well [lgm], let me tell you a story.

Ahh, nevermind, that'll take too long.

Most of it is true, and most of it is taken out of context, and some of it is in reference to things that happened over 3 years ago.

However, for the most part, it is true...  I will miss your company  :'(

Just curious as to what anyone thought of his 'report'.

This is an article posted by Madison Hatter on another forum...  most of it is true... sorry:

"The following is a conversation between Akumayo and myself.

NOTE: EVERY thing on this list is TRUE. Even if it sounds completely and utterly ridiculous (like where it says he bites people), it's true (because he really does).

There are approximately 100 reasons total on this list of why not to trust our Administrator, though I may have miscounted.

What'dya know?  My first struct contained a variable named the same thing as my second struct.  When I changed it's name, the handy menu began to appear ^_^
Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it.

Bump for Teaser Beta Demo release.  Please enjoy and come back to comment 

-Regards, Akumayo

16 bit is above 256 colors, so, you know now that AGS does indeed support more than 256 colors.  Forgive me for being rude, but I assumed that that was your question, and you seem to have answered it yourself.  Is your question then, why the manual doesn't list 32-bit color as an option?  If so, I have no answer for you, I don't know why it isn't listed.  In the future, just try to make your questions more clear.  And, again, sorry for my earlier bluntness.

(Oh, and welcome to the forums.)

Forgive my bluntness, but are you being serious here?Ã,  Have you opened the manual?Ã,  Or AGS itself, for that matter?Ã,  Have you done ANYTHING prior to posting to try to solve the problem?Ã,  For your own image, I hope the answer is no, because of the painfully obvious answer, and ease by which to find said answer.
Again, forgive my bluntness, but please, try to answer questions on your own before posting here.

Both structs are braketed like this:

struct MyStruct {

  //parameters

};

They are declared one after another, the one declared first is the one to show the parameters.  They are imported, exported, and declared in the main script in the same order.  Both are declared in the main script as arrays.

Went on a tour of the Crescent Hotel last weekend, (second most haunted place in America, says TAPS) and brought back some pics with orbs AND me in them.Ã,  (There's about 20 more with just orbs, but there's are the only ones that have me in them too... and... well... this is the post YOUR picture thread... so...)

Anyway:

The pics:






And the pics with orbs pointed out (you may need to download them and zoom in, some of the orbs are very very very faint):






No, I didn't edit the orbs in, they really showed up on the pictures.Ã,  If you don't believe me, tough luck.

-Regards, Akumayo

I have two structs defined in a module script header.Ã,  Both of which are then declared in the module main script, exported from there, and imported in the header.
One, when I type it, and hit '.' shows a popup menu of all the things inside the struct.Ã,  The other, shows nothing.Ã,  This is very frusterated, as both structs have a lot of parameters that I need to see sometimes to jog my memory.Ã,  As a workaround, I've got a .txt file containing the struct declaration that I reference, but that's annoying.Ã,  My question is, what exactly makes that menu pop up?Ã,  I see no difference between my two structs (aside from their names), and yet, one does not grab that handy little menu.

Thanks in advance

I've not got anything productive to say, really, but I thought I'd post to let you know, Alynn, that I think this is a really great idea.Ã,  If you get it up, I'll definately use it on any new games I finish.

Wow... I guess so...

I really have no memory of that... sorry 

I've never gotten this error before, so I'm not really sure what to do with it.Ã,  When I attempt to compile my game, my module's main script causes this error:

"Runtime error: unexpected eof"

Is this an easy fix?Ã,  What causes it?

I'm scripting something that assigns a few variables from one struct to variables in another struct, and the function is imported into one of the structs (which is called as an array).  After calling it, I wanted the engine to automatically find the index, rather than the scripter having to type it in.  As you showed, an ID parameter (which I didn't think of) would've worked around this.  However, I thought that surely there was another way, since, like I said, the 'character' and other functions need no scripter input as to their index number.  Now, thanks to you, I've learned how to use the 'this' keyword ^_^
