Holy Crap!!!

You guys took my phsycotic crack at exposing SOAD to others and turned it into a full blown, out of proportion topic about absolutely nothing in particular!!!

BTW, I preordered Hypnotize, and got it today!!!  It is soooo awesome.  I love Sad Statue, B.Y.O.B., and Violent Pornography!!!  I have one of the earliest legal copies in existence!!!  Aww yeah, I'm in the game now!!!

We'll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Libererty
And the generation that didn't agree

(You guys are crazy)

SOAD ROCKS!!!!

no chives for me, just pizza.  because... BUM BUM BUM

"ALL I WANT IS PIE!!!  PIZZA PIZZA PIE!!!  EVERY MINUTE EVERY SECOND BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE!!!  ALL I WANT IS PIE!!!  PIZZA PIZZA PIE!!!  EVERY MINUTE EVERY SECOND BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE!!!  PEPPERONI AND GOOD PEPPERS, MUSHROOMS OLIVES CHIVES!!!  PEPPERONI AND GOOD PEPPERS, MUSHROOMS OLIVES CHIVES!!  ME THERAPY THERAPY ADVIRTISING CAUSES ME THERAPY THERAPY ADVERTISING CAUSES ME THERAPY THEREPY ADVIRTISING CAUSES ME!!!!!!  (end of song, fade out... wait 2 seconds, fade into Innervision)

Chic 'N Stu always makes me hungry for pizza though, so I don't often listen to it...

Disco...you do realize that almost directly telling me not to call you a republican only worsens my condition that forces me to call people a republican right??? (I have P.W.H.S.O.A.D.A.R.A.M.B.C.A.S.D. (People Who hate system of a down are republicans and must be called as such disorder))
Disco's a republican!! (sort of not really)  Disco's a republican!! (sort of not really)  Disco's a republican!! (sort of not really)  Disco's a republican!! (sort of not really)

Okay I'm done
I might check out Refused later.  And I do believe in what SOAD sings about Disco, I just don't madly listen to it while pondering over the lyrics until the wee hours of the morning (often)

I don't read DEEPLY into them...  often...

I really just like the way they sound and thought others should be given a chance to listen to them...  that's all really.  I do love them though.  I have all their albums, have pre-ordered the next one, and watched their somewhat lousy performance last night on SNL.

Let the whitchhunt begin.  CHANT WITH ME ME SOAD BRETHREN(S)?


Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!  Kill TerranRich!!!

SOAD ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...
...
Let us taunt Sylpher because he is a REPUBLICAN!!!
republican, republican, republican, republican, republican, republican, republican, Sylpher's a republican!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
ahaha...ha..ha..aa
not funny huh....

okay...I lose...I still like System of a Down though...

Do I misunderstand??? KFC means Kentucky fried Chicken right?  Did they lie to me.  Does it really stand for Kentucky Fried Chimps???  Or does he say that SOAD is from Kentucky?  I don't undertstand!!...

(Oh god I'm a loser)

WOO!!! A reply that supports SOAD!!! WOO!!!  Your right of course.  They do have some songs about death(Toxicity) and psychology(Science)

Alright, I love System of a Down and I LIVE off their works.  They recently reevamped their site systemofadown.com and will release their new album on May 17th.  I know that nobody really cares but me, but I would like you to browse around the site and still be able to tell me that your not the least bit interested.  (Really creepy and hypnotizing graphics)  System of a Down is a very unique band that targets politics, psychology, and death.  They are classified as Hard Rock, but they are really a style all their own.  You can listen to their new sond B.Y.O.B. (Bring your own Bombs) on the site for free!  They are awsome!!!

Screw George Bush !!!

It would probably be easiest to not have any random functions.  Just draw an object the same size as the room.  Then make about 10 frames, each with the droplets in different places.  Put the object in the room where it coveres the map, and then animate it.  If you wanted more changes, you could just add another frame.

The forums are easy.  Just click on the forums button and choose an area, for a new guy who's  like you, it would probably be best to stay in Beginners Questions.  To get started on your own project, open the tutorial provided with AGS and play the demo.  Then follow the Tutorial instructions on basic game making (yes there is actually a section that walks you through the first few steps)  make some sprites and rooms and you'll be on your way in no time.  PM with any other questions.

You want a GUI based shop system huh?

Create a GUI with buttons "Buy" and "Sell"
If "Sell" is clicked open the inventory window.  The player chooses an item, then click on the shopkeeper with the item.  Money is added to the players bank/wallet and inventory item is lost.
If "Buy" is clicked open new GUI with buttons labeled "Item Whatever", "Other Item" and so on.  Player clicks on button and is prompted with a text box "Buy this item?" Player types "Yes" or "No".
If "No" is typed, return to "Buy" "Sell" GUI.
If "Yes" is typed, lose money from Bank/Wallet and gain inventory item.  Return to "Buy" "Sell" GUI.


It doesn't get much simpler unless you use text boxes.

I'm ceratainly not building a plugin, so I guess the search for Sam ends here.

Wow... thanks for that I will log that away.

The Microsoft sam in Sveers WAS a computer talking, (I probably should have mentioned that earlier) so I was thinking that if MS could be implemented into an AGS arcade-style game.Ã,  It could be used to read off your score and ranking after every level, or could be used like a personnel computer in a spy-style game reading off mission information and name.

Any more ideas on inserting MS into an AGS game?

Hmm... good point about the futuristic computers.  But I can't find a way yet to record MS's voice.  Good Idea though.  But I want him to be able to say unrecorded things like your current score and a name that you specify for yourself.

Instead of messing with all that code, you could just make the man and dog one character.  Then, when drawing the walking animation, make the dog meander and sway, instead of directly folowing the owner.  You could even make the person give the dog a yank now and then, or make the dog try to get in front of the person.

True, the sentances by Microsoft Sam are... "strange" but some of us "me" don't have a recording device.  Besides, I was thinking that MS would be good in a futuristic game where computers talk frequently.  It could prove useful also for those with no hope of getting a recording device "me".  If you have a recording device, don't worry about it.
Any other suggestions?

     I found an online game (Sveers at Miniclip.com) that has Microsoft Sam (the text-to-speech program on Windows) talking to you and telling you your score, name, etc.  If anyone has found a way to do so in an AGS game, I would like to know. 

It would be cool I think if you could make a function with this Microsoft Sam thing, like MSamSay("This is Microsoft Sam.");

Anyway, any ideas, or has this been done?

Thank you so very much, many thanks truly, I will reply if anything goes wrong but this looks very good.

hmmm....sounds good.  Just a little problem though, when the bullet's sprite (though most is transparent) comes into contact with an enemy sprite, even though only the transparent sprites touch, the game will still run the interaction for AreCharactersColliding(BULLET, ENEMY)==1 but to th player, it will look like the bullet missed but still hit the enemy.  Also, I am unaware of how to set the coordinates of BULLET so that it will be at the same place that MAIN is.
