The problem was just getting my title page to work.  That's all.  I just ran into several problems along the way.  I'll set it to resolved.

Edit:

I can't figure out how to set it to thumbs up.  If someone could explain it that would help.  And I did look through the help file to figure out how to do it.  But I couldn't find it.  Sorry.

The topic has been resolved.  But if you go back and look at the suggestions for my title screen then you could use the same thing on yours.  It takes up less script space.  Though I don't think script space is ever a problem in this.  Thanks anyway though.

Well, even though it looks kind of empty.  It's still much better then mine are.  It believe it is possible to use Bryce to recreate those kinds of environments.  But it will take a bit of work.  While I'm getting Bryce to do that, I'm also working on learning how to use Blender.  It may be able to help me get much better at creating environments.  Thanks for all your help.

Hmm.  I've been hearing a lot about 3DS Max.  I'll look and see if there is a trial download for it.  Also, I have a 3D program called Blender.  I'm not very skilled with it and haven't used it much because I like the user interface with Bryce.  But I may look into using this program more instead of Bryce.  Before I get 3DS Max I'd like to know if anyone else knows about Blender.

Wow.  That's incredible.  I think you are right with the photo reference thing.  It is a good idea.  Though most of my sceans are so outlandish it's unlikely I can find a comparison anywhere on Earth.  Still I will give it a try.  Bryce is mostly a scean editor and perhapse not the greatest program to use for this sort of thing.  But it's all I have at my disposal.  I'm sure that if I work hard enought I can make good sceans for my games.

I made the additions and it works great.  Though for some reason it changes the cursor to the "look" cursor instead of the "walk" cursor.  I tried to make it change to the other cursors and it worked fine.  But it wont work for the "walk to" cursor.  And I did check to make sure that the cursor was called the "walk to" cursor.  But it doesn't effect my game too much.  Thank you all for your help.

The yellow thing is the characters toung.  Yes, the title was a quickly put together picture that I just did for my game.  But I can do much more with it.  Here is a picture of a temple I put together.  It is also not the best I can do.  But a very nice picture is being rendered right now.



Edit:

Here's that other picture that I rendered.  It isn't usable for making a game really.  But it gives a good overview of what Bryce can do.  The sky feautres are very good.

This link should take you to my picture.  I thank taffytom for helping me with this.

It gives and error?  Ok.  I'm going to try something else.  I should have it available soon.

Edit:

I was trying to get it up on a Geocities sight.  But it's not working right now.  Does anyone have any ideas how I can get it on here?

Here.  This web sight will let you download my title screen.  The actual worlds will not look quite the same but it gives you a feel for what it will look like.

I wanted some opinions on the way I make backgrounds.  I use a graphics program called Bryce 5.  With it I can creat 3D environments and then use these as my backgrounds.  I wanted to know what your thoughts on this is.  Is it a good idea?  I'll get some of my pictures on line and let you take a look at them.

I attempted to use the script that Ashen gave me.  But I'm not too sure how to insert it.  Should I add another command for "Player enters room (before fadin)" and use run script, or should I just add this script to the other run script command I have?
The other scrip command I have says

1  // script for Room: Player enters room (before fadein)
2Mouse.Mode = eModePointer;

The title room is actually room4.  If I could get a specific code for this it would be really helpful.  Working in code is something I need to learn a lot more about.

Thank-you.  The Load and Exit parts worked just fine.  But after I posted my last message I realized that I didn't need a Save Game button on the title screen.  Instead, I may add a button that will allow you to go to a different room and see an intro movie.  I will work on that myself and see if I can get it to work.  But once again, thanks for your help.  It has save me much trouble.  With the title screen finished and some new information at my fingertips, I think I can now dive into my game and see what I can do on my own.  If I happen to encounter a big problem then I'll be sure to come back here.

Thank-you once again.  Now I have another question.  I appologise for having so many but as you've probably guessed I'm new at this.  I'm making four button options on the title screen.  I've got the "New Game" button to work.  But now the "Save" and "Load" buttons are causing me trouble.  I haven't worked on the "Exit" button yet but I didn't see an option for quiting the game.  To make these I'm using objects in the room.  I considered that I might need to be using GUIs.  Any help you can give me would be great.

I got it set as the title page.  However, the mouse cursor is set to the look cursor.  I was looking for a command to set it to the pointer like the one used in the inventory screen.  Once again.  Thanks in advance.  And thanks for the previous help.

I looked through the help file and some of the topics here.  But I haven't been able to discover anything about creating a title page.  I have the title room created.  I just need to know how to make it the first room that shows up without having the character there or the top bar to be there.  Thanks in advance.

Thank-you.  This has been extremely helpful.

I am working on a new game.  My character has a large toung and I want to add a "Lick" Cursor.  I have done this but I cannot figure out how to make the character react to it.  I'm am relatively new at AGS so any help would be greatly apriciated.
