Works with 3.3.0 beta (dkh's demo script).

I think I will try making a simple multiplayer game with this.

Still happening. On one occasion this happened when I was replacing (pasting over) all text in script by clipboard contents (so that it had to first delete all contents, I guess)

This is not an exception, but an internal Scintilla's "assertion".
The stack trace:

The assertion that fails in Editor::LayoutLine (Editor.cxx):

Code: cpp

PLATFORM_ASSERT(line < pdoc->LinesTotal());

line = 1,
pdoc->LinesTotal() returns 1

I suspect there's a mistake in logic somewhere.

Also, if by "animations" you mean moving/walking character, then you can use "Character.Moving" property, for example:

Code: ags

cEagle.Move(800, 400, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);
while (cEagle.Moving)
{
   // keep looping while eagle is moving;
   // calling "Wait" here actually lets the game do other stuff on background
   Wait(1);
}
cEagle.Walk(300, 300, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);

What solution to use depends on what you want to achieve, of course.

Thanks.that did the trick though I don't know why

Minor editor bug: the Output log is not cleared when you load another project.

Very smooth movements, indeed, that's the first thing I noted in the video.

I guess this might still be ok to post requests on forums like this, one thing though, there is a bug/request tracker:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=projects

Please check that first, just to decrease number of duplicated requests.

-I have also thought that there should be SayAtBackground function (It would be like SayAt but non-blocking.). For small sprited characters text placement might not be so optimal by default. Other thing would be to add block/dont block option to SayAt function.

There might be sense to have extra function, but for now you may use SayBackground: it returns a pointer to Overlay object, that you may reposition.

E: fixed grammar

It is "resonant" which is adjective, and "resonate" is a verb (to resonate).


And "Resonance" which is the AGS game

While you are at this, I would suggest reimplementing UPDATE_MP3 and UPDATE_MP3_THREAD macros as functions (not sure there's a necessity of explicitly making them inline).

(Well, I can do that myself if you do not want to touch these parts)

To put this simply: everything should be fine.

The only difference in behavior would be when you import 2.72 project into 3.+: the Sierra speech will start using global speech delay setting (therefore your code from ATOTK and HQ3 will work properly in 3.+).

E: When I saw that CW had posted in The Picture Thread. Before opening it, I thought the wizard had revealed himself.

Yes, indeed, simple wrapper that locks mutex object in constructor, and unlocks in destructor, this will be useful. I had similar thoughts when I saw that some mutex-protected functions exit prematurely on error.

Now I actually realized that slasher and barefoot might be the same person . They both have almost identical personal info in the profiles, and slasher registered few months after barefoot stopped visiting forums. So, probably, the forum user just forgot password to old profile, or something like that.

I hope I do not cause any trouble by mentioning this?

Ok, I edited this useless topic to ask another question. How I can change the script editor's background color? In my mom's laptop I changed it to black long time ago but now i cant remember how it was done.

Current version of the editor does not allow to change background color.
You've probably used Alan v. Drake's Draconian Edition (which is a special version with dark theme).

Small update: http://www.mediafire.com/download/5lo3pj0ntbqr6da/acwin.exe
Changed the look of "max" filter, and this should be there too:

Possibly include script name in NewRoom/Cutscene error messages,

I might as well say this: I fear some people will certainly ask why there's no "max anti-aliased filter" or "max hqx filter". The answer is that in order to implement nicely customizable selection properly I'd had to rewrite quite a few things there. ATM I added this option with quick hack, and I cannot make myself do more similar hacks, this literally hurts me .
So, other time maybe. (Then again, with free resolution selection many things will change anyway)

and it would be nice if "SetGameOption(OPT_OLDTALKANIMSPD, 0)" worked in the code,

After monkey_05_06's changes this will be Speech.UseGlobalSpeechAnimationDelay (true/false) and Speech.GlobalSpeechAnimationDelay (value).
E: Although I wonder why would you need to change that at runtime? Some kind of user option?

I am judging only by game videos on youtube, but I am coming to conclusion that Trevor is a personification of an average GTA player

Seriously, this is the first playable character, since GTA3 at least, who genuinely fits in the gameplay. You can barely imagine Michael or Franklin (or any other previous GTA character) do all the crazy stuff people usually do in GTA, but Trevor looks natural regardless of how insane it is.

If we continue this sort of comparison, than Michael is a former GTA player who was going to stop playing those mindless video games and spend time on a family, but he is so hooked, that something drags him back all the time.
Yet, he wants to do things seriously and well-planned, while Trevor is a "player" who "plays" for fun. Hence the conflict.

I kind of suspect that Rockstar trolls its users, in a way .

@Knox: it is in the code, but not in beta 8.

Ah gotcha!

No problem, I should have been more clear actually.


Uhh, I need to gather all known problems. This is what I remember:
1) Re-ordered dialogs mess up the option-answer links.
2) SetMusicMasterVolume does not allow to set real volume of 0.
3) Blinking of the script window in the editor which happens when asteriks is being put or removed from the pane title to notify of existing/none unsaved modifications. For some reason Tzachs could not reproduce this, although I see it clearly at all times. Can anyone else confirm this is happening?
4) Couple of bugs posted in the tracker recently (broken compatibility with existing games).

Anything else?

I am afraid I won't be much help here, but two questions that naturally come to mind:
1) have you tried running the games on Windows with the recent engine?
2) have you tried disabling threaded audio to see the difference? I belive it should be "[sound]"-"threaded" option in "android.cfg".

There's also a newer sound cache system, although AFAIK it should not be used for voice files. It is controlled by "[sound]"-"cache_size" parameter.

BTW, unlike music and sounds, that are loaded fully into memory, voice files are streamed: read part by part from the data file (in callback). Maybe that is related somehow. Is it possible to test game(s) with different types of sound off, like all sounds off (in config), only music on, only voice on?

I recall only one crash related to audio, that happened when the game was actually aborted intentionally by the engine due error in script, while music was playing in background.

Out of curiosity, would it be hard for this "max" scaling in windowed mode to maximize the window (so it covers the entire screen) and have a black border around the game area?

It is possible with custom display branch: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=47344.msg636462609#msg636462609
It is not finished properly yet.
There are too many things I started and I could not find time to get them all together.
That's really annoying...

@Knox: it is in the code, but not in beta 8.
