2.3 had the editor in dos too, you can download it somewhere.

Fixed in the latest beta. Check the technical forum for a download.

There was a thread with a link to 2.3 a while ago, that was the last dos version... you could search

Well it's actually pretty much the same thing, only on a larger scale.

Actually, it's VERY different. Take a look at both.

You know I'm obsessed with UI and such, and I thought of these looks for AGS the other day:

I like this much more than the suggestion in another thread. I really like the "modular" look it goes for, fits the scripting language with object-orientated scripting and all that.

PLEASE, i BEG you, DON'T do this!
It just makes it more cluttered and ugly when the one listbox works perfectly. Besides, it's just more work. Don't fix it if it isn't broke.

Then that's a problem with your code. Post it here and I'll see what I can do.

What ELSE could it do? Put it in your mind? It has to save to disk, and it can't really share it between apps.

A tad overcrowded, don't you think?

After playing around with Dpaint 2 Enhanced for a while, I figured out how to set the direction of the gradients.Ã,  It's not exactly obvious. By default it just goes left-right, and you can flip it from the gradient menu, but not change it in any other way.

Right-click on the shape you want to fill with a gradient, and set the gradient type to "linear". After to draw a shape now, you'll get a line from the center of the shape, and you can orient this line in the direction you want the gradient to go. Voila! Experiment with other types of gradients for cool effects.

Really happy I finally managed to track down this cool tool. I've looked for it several times in the past, but only now was I successful. I almost feel like I have to make some LucasArtsy backgrounds now.Ã, 

DPaint is too holy for me to use it's superior features. *bows*

c) It's News ltd.

What is it with you people reading it!

Like this bloke has anything on the Hypno Hustler anyway

That. Image. Is. Awesome.

LOL. Now we know where the articles comes from, eh?

no, andail. Because at his level, going from a semi-functional understanding of dpaint to a severily underequipped usage of photoshop solves nothing. You need to learn your first program inside out. And it just so happens that dpaint is perfect for the resolutions he's working on. If he had started with photoshop, he'd be getting help on how to use the gradient tool in that program.

Thanks. I'm just not good at drawing, digital or otherwise, tho I have these awesome ideas and images that I can see in my head... but meh.

Edit: someone rename this to dpaint discussion

It can do nearly all form of gradients, even diagonal, just choose straight gradient and drag the line...

Not on DPaint Enhanced II you can't.

Here's a few threads:

Glad you're getting there.

Look a few posts back.

Actually I don't understand what did you mean by "vertical gradient", DP gradient function is very good and very powerful.

gradient going from top to bottom, vise-versa. it can only do horizontal.

For the third one, you can make your own functions - read the scripting tutorial in the manual - and make them take and return values.

I thought so too, but I just wanted to check.

If it had a save frames option, I'd use it.

1: Yes, (checks manual) use btnName.NormalGraphic = sprite_number; and then of course switch it back afterwards.
2: in repeateadly_execute[sic?]:

Code: ags

if (Character.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y) == cScriptName)
{
do stuff;
}

3: I'm not quite sure what you mean. Could you please clarify that?
