It's trying to set a label for debugging. Presumably the module author left it in by mistake.

Just remove that line.

I'm trying to enumerate all the inventory items but I can't find any way to do it. Usually its something like character[ i ] but inventoryitem[ i ] doesnt seem to exist.

So how do I get an inventory item by its ID?

EDIT: Ha, ok so it *is* inventory[ i ], but that array is only defined when you have at least one inventory item. The same goes for the gui[] array.

I agree with the idea of using plain zip files as the data format.

It makes sense to use a format that has plenty of upstream support instead of having a custom format just for AGS.

I see no downside.

I made a module for that!

I think that's always been the case since the video rendering in AGS is totally separate from the other graphical systems i think.

All The Way Down uses a video for the Sanctuary Interactive logo. Interestingly AGS videos are played at the res of the game window not the native res of the game so you can use it for things like high res logos.

in that case just make a new bitmap that is screen size, attach it to a GUI and draw on that.

probably not because the areas outside the viewport will be culled and not rasterized.

To save others some time: Her theory is that the towers were destroyed by some sci-fi "energy beam" superweapon that was able to disintegrate their molecular structure.

Well I'm convinced.

I like your new design. As a professional web developer myself I'm happy to offer my services.
The main reason for my generosity is that I want to expose a dev API for the games db for Nimbus.

(2019 seems good for me, nothing on the calendar anyway)

If its a new interpreter then it's not "switching" to anything.
Just saying you should analyse the options available and not use allegro just because the original AGS uses it.

No hostility, just a suggestion.

If C++ is important for you then why not use a gfx lib with c++ bindings like SDL?

(sorry for pushing SDL, i don't really care either way but it seems like you're keeping allegro for no real reason)

If you'd start from scratch then why use Allegro? Isn't SDL generally better supported and more actively developed?

The new thing that these generators introduce is that they use the distance from the background to roughly determine the height of the sprite.

You could maybe use normal mapping in a low res ags game with fairly small characters.

Otherwise, without shaders, it's just too computationally expensive.

I cloned Sprite DLight a few days ago because it's not free.


Beautiful right?

I managed to get pretty cool results.

I agree with CW. Really there is no difference between a file stored in the game package and a file on the file system. They are both just byte streams with arbitrary data.

The mistake is on line 934 of the script MyGame.asc

You spilled coffee on your keyboard and it caused the backspace key to be pressed 14 times before you mopped it up. This deleted 13 spaces and one closing brace.

Easy fix really.

[Script API]

Script API

ProcessClick -> Room.ProcessClick
The old ProcessClick() global function is now a static function of Room class. You may need to fix your scripts if you use it, or disable "Enforce object-based scripting" option in Game Settings.

Is the source on github or anything? Maybe some of us could contribute.
