Well, the previous error was with the save game name, but I took care of that.

Code: ags

function lstSavedGamesList_OnSelectionChanged(GUIControl *control)
{
  txtNewSaveGame.Text = lstSaveGamesList.Items[lstSavedGamesList.SelectedIndex];
}

Now the hassle is Error (Line 145): undefined symbol 'lstSaveGamesList'.  And I could've sworn I gave the listbox the name "lstSaveGamesList".

Yeah, I shoulda done that in the first place. 

Hold up... *gets up the game program...*

Yeah, I wanted to take care of all the global stuff before getting into the "nitty gritty" of each situation.  I took care of some of the Inventory and System Panel (I think)... but what could be causing error messages to pop up?

Man, I've gotten all my characters and rooms and stuff ready (plan to get more music and sound FX once the programming is done).

But everything that hadn't gone wrong before is now going wrong.  Every time I try to test run stuff, I see errors popping up.  Some of them I fixed easily, but others I'm not sure how to fix.

As for specifics on what those problems, I'm not sure how to state them.  Um, if it is all right, should I post the file in progress so others can see it and try to find out what might be going wrong?

Oh, so it's almost like a martial-arts version of Quest for Glory.

Let's see how this game turns out--looks great so far.

Hmm... that'd make a great AGS project... make a game based on an eff'ed up dream you once had.  Whether it be in recent days, or maybe way back in your childhood, this'd be a great project for AGS.

I sometimes dreamt of nuking England and conquering the world. I was getting those dreams when I was playing CiV too much.

What's CiV?  Not sure if I know that particular acronym.

Anyway, THAT would be a frightening prospect if it came true!

[can't]

I've had a lot of dreams where I've got spiderman powers, not so much the climbing part but swinging and being able to shoot my webs to pick up stuff. It's pretty cool.

Cool, so I'm not the only one with bizarre dreams (I mean, sometimes weird dreams can be cool too).

Hmmmm, let me consult "Freud's Guide To Dreams":

For that exact dream-sequence it says: "You love your mother, and hate your father."

...

Hang on!!! It says that for every dream-sequence!

Oh, geesh!    What book are you reading from, dude?  That can't be an actual copy of "Freud's Guide To Dreams"!   Anyway, thanks for your feedback, and I'm curious of others' feedback as well.

Last night I had a REALLY bizarre dream!  It was partly cool, partly "semi-nightmarish", but it was Quest for Glory related (so I believe it fits in this section of the forum).

So, in my dream, it looked like I was playing some hacked/fangame version of QG4: Shadows of Darkness.  The hero looked like he was not only talking to ("non-vampirish") Katrina, but three other lovely ladies as well at night, outside the town of Mordavia.  After the conversation ended, the hero climbed over the walls.  But inside, aside from the staff of Erana, it looked like Dr. Cranium, but he walked away before I could get his attention.  So I "reloaded" and talked to him again.  Big mistake--this "Dr. Cranium" also had some werewolf-ish features, so I decided to get the heck back to my inn room.  I climbed as a Thief would (I had no idea what class my hero was), but as he was climbing, the Dr. Cranium werewolf-ish character was following.  Once the hero was back in the room, the werewolf Dr. Cranium started attacking the hero, and the hero was fighting back.  That's when I woke up.

[What if the Disney Princesses took part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge?]

A few days ago, I was looking through Tumblr and one of the picture collections I saw was the Disney Princesses in different themes (such as photo models or something like that).

Then, a silly thought came to me...

What if the Disney Princesses took part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge?

Something for our artist buddies to think about. 

Man... some great cartoons.  And it's cool that Count Duckula gets in on the game too!

Think there may be a chance that Bananaman might make a guest appearance too?

Wow!  I wish you the best of luck on the last leg of getting this together.  Let's see it come together soon!

I'm in.

I mean, hey, I can't fail forever, right? At some point a game will form by sheer accident.

Also please note how hard it was to come up with a proper acronym title. I am rather pleased about how that turned out.

Yeah, I saw what you did there.  And I look forward to see what you'll put on the table, Ghost.

Thought I'd get people interested.

Anyone on Gaia Online?

I have a swell art contest going on right now.

Click here for more info.

Man... talk about a tragic turn of events.

Well, here's to Karen.  She'll be deeply missed.

Heroine's Quest, hands down.  The question is which character type.

On a side note, I think it'd be great if Reality-on-the-Norm would be a TV series.  Maybe an animated sitcom.

[Add on] Though another option for a blockbuster film would be James Peris.  Maybe even have it in Spanish with English subtitles.

Hmm, can't that be because your game is being run in "letterbox" mode? It may happen if your dekstop aspect ratio and game's aspect ratio do not match.

Do you see part of background above GUI stripe, or it's just a black border?

Just a thought... maybe silly one.

I'm seeing part of the background above the GUI stripe.

So I guess that means I have to do a blank game and make the GUIs from scratch AFTER setting the size, eh?

Okay, this is kind of a weird issue.

See, I'm trying to make my window 640x480, instead of the default 300x240 or whatever.

But when I do that (by deleting the room and then replacing it with another room, and then adjust the hero's starting point for it), the Status Bar and Icon Bars are not directly at the top... they're slightly down a bit, making it look like a stripe between the top and middle of the window, instead of exactly at the top.

I don't know how to fix this so the Status Bar and Iconbar will stay at the top of the window when I change the size of the window.  Any pointers?

I do. I always liked Nanny the best. Do you remember The Trap Door? Bananaman? Victor and Hugo? Danger Mouse?

Danger Mouse and Bananaman I remember.  But those other two... not to my knowledge.

Anybody remember the vegetarian vampire duck, Count Duckula?
