What interaction have you given the NPC?

bspeers, have you:

Spoiler

Spoken to your brother? And do you have the doorstop?

[close]

If so:

Spoiler

Prop the kitchen door open, get Mom out of the way, and chase Rufus into the kitchen. Grandma should leave, and you can take the brownies.

[close]

Kara:

Spoiler

You just need to use up more hot water.Set the dishwasher and the washing machine going on hot loads.

[close]

What if you try the second ones legs, with the firsts torso, and let the t-shirt hang down a little more, as if it's untucked. Hopefully, that'd disguise the 'thiness' of the body a little.

EDIT: but, I think the second one's fine as is.

Dojo:
subtle hint:

Spoiler

To get into to dojo, you need to get someone to come out. How could you get them a message?

[close]

total spoiler:

Spoiler

Use the greasy sponge on the door on the air conditioner in the alley. Open the door, then talk to the opening. (no, really)

[close]

25 hour gym:
subtle hint:

Spoiler

To get into the gym properly, you need membership or an appointment. Where else have you seen the fitness professional?

[close]

spoiler:

Spoiler

Inside the dojo, there's a display with free trail memberships. Take one, and use it back at the gym. The Kaboom! mass powder's for something else.

Do0kie:

Spoiler

You get the dollar from the Grandad, after you've found hi cane, his hearing aid, and the missing brownie ingredient for Grandma.

[close]

The one problem I saw, if I'm being critical, is

Spoiler

The coffee drink/brownie ingredient is a little obscure. I might've missed something, but it was only a guess that that's what you needed. Maybe if the pedestrian had said something about getting the last ones in the shop, and just beating some old lady to them, it'd made a little more sense.

At the construction site:

Spoiler

Pick up the walkie talkie (you may have to try this twice before it let's you, don't quite remember). Then pick up the Glue Gun.

[close]

Then, at the dojo:

Spoiler

Use the walkie talkie on the open air vent. When the instructor comes out, sneak in and put on the robe.

[close]

Whoo hoo! Finished! At least, I think I did. Was there a Game Over screen or something?
Great game, not too easy, not too hard (mostly), looks great. Did I mention I liked it?

Remco:

Spoiler

You need to get the walkie talkie out of the way. Or at least, off the wheelbarrow....

[close]

A workaround could be to use DisplaySpeechAt(), then create a GUI with an animated button of moving lips, and turn it on next to the speech. Maybe you could make a custom function, instead of having to script it every time?

Remco:
25 hour fitness:

Spoiler

Have you picked up the free pass from the dojo?

[close]

To get rid of the labourer

Spoiler

, you need to make him think he's had an accident.

[close]

less subtle:

Spoiler

Use the ketchup on the labourer

[close]

And I need to know...

Spoiler

Any clues on how to get the instructor to stay out of the dojo? EDIT: Never mind, sorted it.

[close]

About what Mr. Flibble said (from the manual):

If you use the interaction command, you must add 1000 to the music number so that AGS recognises it as music and not a sound effect. For example, to play music 23, use "Play sound 1023".

So, you don't actually add 1000 to the file name, just in the interaction editor.

Most obvious thing: Are you sure you're saving and importing at the right resolution? Game -> Set Game resolution will tell you what the game's set to.

Cheers. I think that was the one thing in the dojo I hadn't messed with. It's so obvious when some tells you, isn't it?

OK, there's a couple of things I could ask, but I'll start with...
I'm in the dojo, found the doorstop, but the instructor won't let me take it. What am I missing?

Got another bit of a bug....
If I leave the 25 hour gym in the middle of the training session, the floating upper body of the fitness professional follows me around, even on the map screen. He's clickable as well.
NOTE: this only happens the first time, but not if I go back and leave again.

About Thurston:

Spoiler

How do you get hm out of the shower? I've turned on the dishwasher, but he only says running out of hot water. Is there anything else I need to have done?

[close]

I think this test game I made a while ago does what you want.

http://www.geocities.com/whoismonkey/Cursor.zip

The scripting is mostly in the global repeatedly execute, and there's a text file to explain it. Hope this helps.

Not much to add, really, except:

If you're going to use wood, use it for the floor, and use the floor colours on the ceiling. Otherwise, I think the second darkest wall colour, with shadows, would look prety good.
The shelf needs an edge on the right, and to thin out a bit more to the left, 'cause, yeah, it looks sort of out of perspective as it is. EDIT: Damn, Erwin posted as I was typing. That's pretty much what I meant.
And, I kinda thought that was a mirror, not a window.

Anyway, minor niggles on a really nice (as usual) BG.

I got TechTV free for about two months, a while ago. Wasn't that impressed.
So ... 6 point something billion -1, at least.

A poor joke, poorly executed:

Next: I don't remember eating THAT!

OK, it's a bit crap, but it's my first try.
