lol, Dualnames, you included my entry to the list?  :o

You want it off? I assumed it was an entry that's all. You didn't actually clarify it.

No, no, its not a problem at all
I am just wondering about peoples reaction when they see its a game without gameplay.

Funny rules. I've been working on my game with varied efficiency all this time. I doubt I'll complete it in month, but if I will, it sounds like I can enter as well

Too bad there isn't any actual gameplay to go with the drunk man's automatic piano, Ivan!

Ahhh... there was a little gameplay, but I decided not to include it in this public "demo". It was too raw and could be confusing.

Sigh....
I screwed my MAGS entry again.....
no matter why; there are certain reasons but they are too boring to tell.

However, I gave a word above that

Not sure there will be something... but I was just sorry for Dualnames who did not get any entries on previous MAGS. I will enter even if there will be an empty room and no action

So, here's my entry. A vastly unfinished piece of ... umm... art. Think of it as of "alpha demo". Or rather -

ALPHABETA

enjoy... if you can.

Additional credits to kaputtnik for sharing few nice tunes.

And, I am seriously sorry for breaking hopes of all people around and not finishing the game   . Maybe I will... one day.

Actually I found that SC2 Editor works better on my father's comp, so that might not be a critical problem.... for now.

I have played with data editor a bit, and I must say, it is terribly powerful tool indeed. Once you learn basics, it becomes more and more easy to do stuff, and every time you learn something new.
Created first new unit in half of hour, second unit in one minute  .

I am trying to make a tower-defence kind of mod now. Ofcourse there will be billions of these when SC2 is released, but it's nice way to learn modding.

Hey guys... sorry for bugging, but I still wonder, can someone help me with the problem described above? magintz said he can post my bug report, but when I sent detailed info to him, I get no response, so I don't know if he actually did something 

There are similar bugs mentioned on sc2 beta bnet forums, but they have differences, so this really bothers me. Do i need to update software, or hardware to be able to normally work with editor when final release is out? - that what's I wish to know.

Basically, my problem is following:
(put this in "spoiler" to allow people ignore this )

Spoiler

I can create new maps and open existing maps created by someone else without any trouble. However -
1) If I create a blank map and save it leaving default plain terrain as is, then close and reopen it, all terrain surface is completely invisible in the main view, it's like a black void. I can see all the units, but no terrain. I can see terrain on minimap though. I can select existing units, but can't add changes to the "map" - can't edit terrain, can't put new units on it (nothing happens when I click on the map in the main view with texture/unit selected from the left panel).
2) If I create a new map, do some changes to terrain, regardless how simple or complex: texturing, create cliffs, raise/lower terrain surface etc, - then save it, close and reopen, editor behaves like there's some data corruption or memory leak: it starts to "consume" more and more memory very rapidly until my system shows that 98-99% of RAM is in use, after that editor hangs completely.
This happens even if the map is very small (like 32x32) and only few changes were made to terrain.
Meanwhile, I can open any maps made by not me, regardless of how complex they are.
3) I can open maps made by other people, and edit anything, like units, triggers and data; I can then save and reopen changed maps normally. But as soon as I do ANY change to terrain, like paint a single block of texture, problem (2) occurs.

I preordered too! 

I actually downloaded and played this a little about a half of a year ago.
Don't remember much, except for the font that was terribly tough to read.

But can you actually help me with the aforementioned problem, magintz? Or anyone else? please...  :'(

Maybe I could do that myself, but, heh, just imagine that - hey dudes, I am using your soft a tiny bit illegally, and want to make a bug report - heheh. 

[can't]

I have an unusual question for those of AGS-ers who were lucky enough to get SC2 beta key.

I have someone's beta client downloaded from torrent. I can't play on battle.net, ofcourse, because I don't have beta key, and from some time I almost don't play versus AI (which was allowed by certain "hack"-launchers), because it's a bit boring (plus I don't have much free time to study new units/abilities properly, and they change in every patch).

Anyway, from patch 9 Starcraft 2 Beta has an editor. I tried it, and experienced very serious malfunctions there. I looked up on battle net forums, but found no signs of anyone having same bugs (well, there was one report which could be similar, but I am not sure). I tried to reinstall client, and all the patches again, I even got different client (different zone/language), but that did not help.

So now I am in a silly situation. At one hand I have a rare or unique bug that is not yet reported to Blizzard, and I have a troubling thought, what if it won't be fixed until final release (when I am going to buy the game). On another hand, I don't have beta key, so I can't even post on Blizzard's forums in SC2 section.

Question is, is there anyone with beta key who would be willing to send my bug report to bnet forums? I know that could be a bit silly, but well, I can't think of anything else. Maybe one can explain situation frankly (that I am using sc2 beta client illegally), or tell that you let me to try out SC2 Editor on my comp, or something like that.

Maybe......

When is the deadline? is it 00:00 am of 30th or 23:59 of 30th?

Who would be considered a newbie?  Less than a year in the forums?  Calin Leafshade has been here less than a year, is he a newbie?

You have a point there. But I mean "noob" type of a newbie  
That is - a random guy or girl who's relatively new to AGS forums and don't have enough skill and/or courage to actually start making a game.

Ofcourse, the newbie should willingly accept to share his idea with participants 

[Help newbie to make a game of his dreams!]

Help newbie to make a game of his dreams!

Find an AGS newbie with cool game idea. Every participant makes a game based on newbie's scenario, regardless of how silly it is. 

Heh.
Not sure there will be something... but I was just sorry for Dualnames who did not get any entries on previous MAGS. I will enter even if there will be an empty room and no action

Enigmatic?


... hmmm

Damn... I... don't remember! 
No seriously, no idea.
Either that was such a random occasion that left nothing in my memory, or I have memory problems... or both.

I remember it was 2.72 time (2007 or 2008). I remember I didn't like the interface, at all. I also tried to make some stupid game, but then got bored.
After a year or so I decided to check this again and saw that version 3.0 is just out. Now, I liked the interface .

Try this:

Code: ags

MyText.Text="Here is where you work - The Fletcher Memorial Hospital";
Wait(80);
MyText.Text="This Hospital has a nice history to discover specialy in this part";
Wait(80);
MyText.Text="Usualy, you work down in Ward 3.... an everyday hospital floor";
Wait(80);
MyText.Text="";

If you need, change number in Wait() to something else. 40 is about one second. 80 is 2 seconds etc.

ha ha, nah Ben isnt doing the art for McCarthy, not really his style

Hehehe, maybe he will make parody, McCarthy: 304 style. Just imagine McCarthy with glowing orange eyes and funky kaputtnik's music 

He means Ben304.

Oh wait, another answer:

there's no water
