Something I'm programming and just wondered what else I should add. I will give it away when it is done and it will use a Sqlite database to hold all the data on your computer.

Started a Small ROTN game with Melt and Drake. Melt is the main character you play.
You start off in the ship that Melt & Drake have sign up to work on but Melt has lost Drake after talking to the Main Boss of the Spaceship. ( I haven't got that part done so you start in the ship outside hius room) so you need to find Drake and then the Chief to find out what you are to do.
There is four rooms to go into on the ship and off. will be more when it is done , hope to have at least 10 to 12 with this game.
Not sure how the time line works with this as the Ron site is down so have to wait to check.
You may find some spelling wrong so let me know what it was and the right spelling and I can fix it. I'm not a great speller.
The game is in 320x200 so screenshots are small.
= 1.44 MB zip
Download here for direct download.

Screenshots .




Let me know what you think, ( hope it is good lol)


Known bugs so far that have to be fix.
Can talk to dead aliens
lots of bad spelling
some hotspots to small
need to label objects as what they are when looked at.
Add some color to fishing pole. hard to see

This does not seem to be right as it does not repeat:

Code: ags

character[ROCKTOSSERB].Animate(0, 1, 0, eRepeat, eForwards);
character[ROCKTOSSERA].Animate(0, 1, 0, eRepeat, eForwards);

You guys and gals are so good at puzzles I would like some help with making one.
You have a planet and your stuck on it.

So there are two aliens on this part and a spaceship .
You need to get back to the big ship and need the spaceship, so how do you get the ship from the alien standing next to the ship?
Alien

I have a scene were he goes back to the big ship in the little space ship. if you need to see the small ship I can post it?
Thanks for any help.
Don't make the puzzle to hard  heh heh I have to make this stuff for it.

[you]

Almost afraid to ask questions now as not sure what youthink is ok to ask?
I want player to faces east then west then south .
But he only faces south then east and stays there/
the room is 1098x 200

Code: ags

character[MELT].Say("Drake?");
character[MELT].Say(".........");
character[MELT].FaceLocation(character[MELT].x + 150, character[MELT].y);
character[MELT].Say("DRAKE!");
Wait(5);
character[MELT].FaceLocation(character[MELT].x + 360, character[MELT].y);
character[MELT].Say("Now where did he go?");
character[MELT].FaceLocation(character[MELT].x + 150, character[MELT].y);
character[MELT].Say("......");
  Wait(20);
character[MELT].Say("Shit, I have to find him now and the Chief.");
character[MELT].FaceLocation(character[MELT].x + 50, character[MELT].y);

So whats the deal is this a Beginners Technical Questions help forum or something else?

I have a fishing pole and when it is used on the player[melt] I want to have him change views and do a small character animation of him using the pole.
But only if he is in the room with the small pond(room 6).
What would be the best way to do it?

Whats the best way to display a message when the player goes in a room for the first time?
The player will be going into the room a lot so only want this message to shoiw the first time.
Thanks for the help.

How can I code the player and the object so they go transparent at the sametime?

Code: ags

object[0].Visible = true;
int trans = object[0].Transparency;
while (trans < 100) {
  trans++;
  object[0].Transparency = trans;
  Wait(1);
}  
character[MELT].ChangeRoom(4, 90, 171); 

Does anyone have the back view of Drake from the ROTN games?

[see below]

I'm using my own voice and I'm no voice actor but I gues you have to do what you need to do to get the job done.
This is a video with poser char talking using my voice .
see below
I have it in avi but the size was over 2MB so wanted to get the file size donw and used wmv and now at 502KB .
He is talking about a Video Cam that got the beast killing one of the members of the crew. ( that video plays then more of him talking that is not done yet).

I have a switch in one room and when it gets the action I need itÃ,  to enable a hotspot in the other room.
I'm kind of lost on how to do it.
if it is done with variables you will have to spell it out for me or maybe even a demo I could look at on how it is done.
Thanks

I have this image with the screens and such and going to have the screens look like they are off .
So how do you think I should use the key panel to turn the screens back on?
Thanks for any help.

I trying to have it were you click on a swtich and the sound plays when it stops you go to the next room.
Bur right now it goes to soon.

Code: ags

// script for Object 0: Interact object
object[0].Animate(0, 5);
PlaySoundEx(12, 4);
Wait(120);
object[0].Visible = false;
character[GIRL].ChangeRoom(50, 100, 50);
 

Not sure what I'm doing wrong as I was just trying things to see if they would work or not.
Thanks for any help

Welcome to the official website for the Sam and Max: Flintlocked video games. Look around, have fun, and check out our forums if you have any questions, comments, or just a need to chat. Make sure to read the official Rules and Regulations first, though, and remember to have fun.

Also, Steve Purcell wishes us Happy New Year with his annual New Year's Picture. Check it out here. We must apologize for any bugs in the site, it's nearly done but we're still working out a few bugs.

Now, begone with you! Have fun exploring the website and be sure to tell your friends about the Flintlocked project!

I used some of the backgrounds that fellow gamemakers here have post with their games that were done.
Hope it is ok with them to use their pictures if not just say so and will remove it .
All rights belong to the owners of their pictures.

Just drop in your systems folder to use in the screensavers properties.

I have always want one of those nice ones you see when a game starts , But I'm not the best at these things, lol
I started working on one so tell me what you think ? any good for an old fart?

I think I like this one the best. it is faster and I like how it comes in.
No music in it.

Is there a command for a message box or do you need to make a gui with the yes or no buttons on it and what you want the yes or no to do?
Call the gui yes or no from a hotspot.

Can you click on the screen and move the  to the left or right the screen?

I've just learned that one of my bestÃ,  friend Joe Block (TronDoc) has passed away the day before thanksgiving.

I will miss him.



He programmed the thewrap with Ibasic.

What is it?       
   theWRAPâ,,¢ wraps up your Windows application into a single file for both distribution and use.
(Windows '95 through XP)

theWRAP makes a single EXE (executable) file out of your program and all its support files. When the WRAPped EXE is run, all the required files are extracted for use. When the application is closed, all the extracted files are deleted, leaving just the original WRAPped EXE in the directory, along with any new files created by using the application.

theWRAP does not encrypt nor compress. The goal of theWRAP is ease of distribution and assured availability of resource files during the use of your application, not copy protection.

Not sure how long his page will stay up .
