First of all I can't see any of your images. Second, the links you gave me leads nowhere. And third, rename those images to txt files, just like snake said. I'll link it to you when I edit this. EDIT: So, here is the link: http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?topic=6297.msg76680#msg76680

Actually, the computer got it right on the first try but later it gets stupider and stupider.

I have a question of my own, regarding the subject of this thread... how much longer does it really take to type "with" rather than "w/"?

Uh, I don't know, they both seem to have the same lengths of time typing them, at least for me.

Hey, uh, Radiant, you can make your own Dialog GUI, just make one and then click "Dialog options on gui" checkmark

Yeah, I soon see that I agree on doing something like that but, uh, let me change the plot. Second of all, what makes you think I am 'team leader"? I have been requesting for help, not boss people around!

I think he meant transitions and not looping rooms or something of that kind.

To start one, you have to win a sprite jam competition and then you will get authorization to start a sprite jam, then this one will be locked.

OMG! How did it know I thought of the hourglass? EDIT:Heh, that thing is not foolproof.

I see what the problem is, some script (probably hard-coded somehow makes the cursors stay that way in GUIs and it would not let it allow it to change. And in that case, I think you should read the Global Script to find any problems. Sorry if there is too much script in this topic.

Hmm, I don't really know and the Beta-Testing position was left there because at some point I am going to need it soon. And what color do you want for the status bar? Pick something you like and I'll try to fix it.

EDIT: Picking career for Bob: Well, what career do you want Bob to have? FBI? Paranormal Investigator? Name one.

Same here;

Look it up in the manual, its very simple to get it to show the item.

where?

[game]

I hope I didn't do anything to anger people but here we go to explain the game.

There is person who just started his investigation career called Bob. He has a friend called CosmoÃ,  is is crazy about aliens and is a paranormal investigator. Bob does not believe that there are aliens in the vast universe and once discovers green things on a planet. Cosmo is about to hurt Bob in some way if he won't help him with crazy alien investigations so he joined the paranormal investigators too. Just one morning Bob discovers he has been abducted by aliens but this time, he stays in there for dissecting. He attempts to get back home but he is locked up in a cell protected by a powerful force field. Bob has a magnet, a walkie talkie (unfortunately he cannot contact earth and only Cosmo believes that there are aliens out in space) and a spy cameraÃ,  (to remember. He is currently on the planet Kethoptunotes (the short way they say it in the game is "planet Keth.") which is 10 light years away. Help Bob get home as soon as possible and before the aliens find and dissect Bob.

Screenshot(s):


This is not for C&C but, you know, how is the game?

Anyway, the positions I think I need for helping the production of the game are:
Background Artist (EXTREMELY NEEDED)
Beta Testing (Position Unavailable)
Character Artist (You know, aliens)
Help with scripting (Just helping me with the scripting, not doing the scripting)
Music Artist (Yeah, I need that)

(NOTE: I am not going to boss you around, I just need help making these things.)

More positions will be open as time goes. If you sign up for any of the positions and I accept you to do that position your name will be listed in the credits. Interested? PM me or contact me by Yahoo Messenger (edwinxie2003@yahoo.com) or MSN Messenger (edwinxie03@hotmail.com). And please DO NOT E-MAIL ME unless I allow you to, which you will be notified by messenger.

EDIT (Oct 19, 2004): This is the progress of the game:

Graphics (backgrounds and sprites): 5%
Scripting: 10%
GUIs: 98%
Music (or sounds): 5%

Average progress: 29.5%

As you can see, I've only accomplished a little. With a sprite or background artist, the progress for graphics and scripting will increase, thus making the production of this game faster.

I'm very confused.......How is that going to help? I don't even get
character[CHARID].activeinv, character[CHARID].inv

• , game.inv_activated or any of that related fragments of script.

hmm, mario game.....seems ok.... And that thing does not work for me. At least when I modify the button sprite.

Hmm, I think I posted the repeatedly_execute function but I'll post it again:

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute() {
// LEC Statusline
string bunky;
string texty;
int cursy;

StrCopy (texty, "");
cursy=GetCursorMode();

if (cursy==0) StrCat(texty,"Walk to ");
else if (cursy==1) StrCat (texty,"Look at ");
else if (cursy==2) StrCat(texty,"Use ");
else if (cursy==3) StrCat(texty,"Talk to ");
else if (cursy==4) {
StrCat(texty,"Use ");
GetInvName (player.activeinv, bunky);
StrCat(texty,bunky);
StrCat(texty," with ");
}
else if (cursy==5) StrCat(texty, "Pick up ");
else if (cursy==8) StrCat(texty, "Open ");

GetLocationName(mouse.x,mouse.y,bunky);
StrCat(texty,bunky);
SetLabelText (0,0,texty);

if (IsGUIOn(1) || IsGUIOn(3) || IsGUIOn(4)) {
    SetMouseCursor(6);
    SetLabelText(0,0, " ");
}
else SetDefaultCursor();
}

Well, global variables are VERY useful, at least it is something like this (I don't know if you scripted it better):

if varname == 1
//do something

if varname == 2
//do something else

Uh, just be careful with your semicolons.

EDIT: Ok, I figured out the problem, (thanks scorpiorus for doing the display things) now I know what happens (with the help of scorpiorus). First it switches to MODE_USE, then it changes to cursor 6 but in 1 millisecond (with the messages I found out what was fishy) it changes BACK to MODE_USE. Can you explain that?

It would be very useful if the floating GUI window was placed where I previously moved it.

Nice, but aren't you going to need help with the game???

Uh, I finished this game before so I think I can help.

You should still have a piece of paper even though you put it on the window. Use it on the big man and then walk out
