I've got a problem with resolution. From an unknown reason I get most of my BG's too large in game testing and in fullscreen preview. (my res is 320 * 240) Can't see bottom parts. That's probably some fault in my computer settings and it's really annoying. Could someone give me advice what to do?

I have Stratego in my posession - got it many years ago on Christmas. It is an interesting concept. Requires lots of thinking, strategy and good memory as well. Resembles chess in some way, though it's easier. 

When I could, I spent few hours a day on my game. Now I'm not at home - went to study and have major problems with computer. I can work only when my sister lends me her laptop (not often). And I'm paying internet by hour - now too.
Because I'm having a major break in my game I started to invent a story for another one which I want to be quite long.

Stuck.

How do I disable the security system?

Happy birthday Captain Mostly and may it be good but not the best year of your life yet. Especially in means of adventure games production.

One of the funniest is when a giant Thrym steals Thor's hammer, buries it in the ground and claims he won't return it unless he is married to Freya. Thor and Loki travel to Thrym, both disguised, Thor as Freya and Loki as her female companion. They reach Thrym's house and have a feast. While Thor puts huge amounts of food intio his mouth and drinks a lot from a gigantic horn, Loki explains to Thrym, that Freya was so excited about getting married and so tired after long journey that she had to eat and drink a lot. Then Thor retrieves his hammer and kills Thrym.

Snarky - meant no offense and am sorry if any was taken.

Redwall - quite right. That's what I think about the story myself

Isegrim - Wow! You seem to know really much about these. I already thought about adding the subquest for the glove, but I'll have to just call it the Glove, because I did not find the name anywhere. You've already been very helpful and I'm surely going to PM you.

Yes. I was already at one library and gonna borrow the books tomorrow.
Saying reality I mean using a base. I think it's smarter and better to use as much material as I can than just making up everything. There already is a lot to make up.

I'll better say something mor about the story. It's 1940, the Germans have just conquered Norway and are sending some scientist who believes Thor's Hammer exists. If they get it, they win the war. But the British intercept a message about this German guy coming to Norway and send their man (player) to investigate.

That means the hammer is in the centre of the story. That's why I'm looking for as much info as I can get.

There's no NATURAL Swedish girl with dark hair. The ones you could see would have some foreign blood.

I'm asking about the myths, because I want Thor's hammer to be an artifact the hero's looking for. I will convert it at some parts - I know I will have to. But I want to keep some reality.

Is there anybody on the forums who is keen on Scandinavian myths? I'd really appreciate some feedback on that, Thor and his hammer Mjollnir especially, as I will need those for a game. If anuone can help me, please send those to the email shown in my profile. I'd look on the net myself but just can't now.
Thanks for help in advance.

Can't say if there's any catch in it, but Lycos provides 50mb for free.

Surely broke your hand not on purpose, Klinger?

But seriously, stay safe. I wish you good luck, both with Iraq and your game.

I did not see Simpsons for quite a long time. Well, I believe they released it in Polish TV only once...
But I remember a journalist saying about 15th anniversary of Springfield's tire factory burning and in the background the factory still burning.

And one more:
Woman:"This is a lie detector. It will determine whether yo are saying truth or not. I will now aks you simple question and want you to answer truthfully. Do you understand?"
Homer:"Yes!"
*BOOM* (lie detector blows into pieces)

Unbelievable. CJ not only gives AGS freely, but switches to MORE EXPENSIVE host because we're too many here. I'd call it... true dedication. Thanks CJ. I'd gladly send you some cash if I could.

Glad to hear Africa's in the run. That screenshot is really something. Looks like a great game incoming.

An Archer. From what I saw at first three only Wizard has real ability for long range.

lelev: If the AGS page is down, doesn't mean you can't downlaod the games. It only means you cannot access the database, and AFAIK there is no other place where you can find info on all of them. You can find all MAGS games from http://www.mags-competition.tk though...

That's my point - there's no such place, and it's not only about games but some technical archives and downloading AGS, but there's probably nothing that could be done about it.

XP sucks. I never tried DosBox, it seemed too complicated. A had ScummVm and couldn't save games I played with it.

I've got PoI and I think it rocks (and I'm not gonna try it on my XP).

Sorry to hear about problem. I thought about one solution - could someone pay for one more bandwidth to put some parts of the forum there? It would be just like you click on e.g. Critics Lounge and get redirected to the second forum. That could split the CPU between two servers.

One more question. What to do if you're looking for something on ags home page and it's disabled? Especially the games. Am I wrong thinking there's no other place on the net that keeps the AGS games? Well it's understandable there isn't but what happens if I'd like to go through the games some time to pick one I consider enjoyable and can't find them? Could something be done? Like one more games/FAQ directory?
I know it could be hard in some parts. Don't yell at me, please, I'm just asking.
