hey but i used a name from a film and noone noticed! it was for english coursework.
I wrote Jamie's dragon, and the main dragon it called Craeu, and that is based on The neverending story where a charator is called atreau.
is this too similar?
whats your story about anyway?

ok so maybe this is in thewrong place but it only looks wrong in ags not any other programme, my credits are full  screen animations. and am not sure why they only go funny on ags. thanks anyway

How can anyone not like robot wars! I love it I only have the standard 5 channels but i love it anyway even if they don't show it now. There was an american robot show broadcast here, it had a cage...

On red Dwarf, did you know that Rimmer did the voice of simon the sourcerer, ya know i can't tell unless he's making a real sarcastic comment.

I'm having real problems, i've read manuals so much my eyes are sore.

In my flic animantions, they work alright as gifs but when converted to flcs the background turns black and only things animated are shown, it looks terrible.

So either anyone at all with any knowleage of animation shop pro, may know what i have done wrong.

or will avi's work better? I don't understand how to put them in, what is the first intiger? is it the filename or something else?

Dragon Slayers
ASAP
nearly finished!
need sound flc files and bug testing woo hoo.

I like to have the charactor say things in responce to clicks on everything!
I don't like it when you walk into a room and there is alot of background and only one item worth looking at. waste of background.

tell me is this wrong then, i have a sigh saying 'Park, no dogs' when you look at it it reads it out and adds a comment. This is not a clue though, i just know people who can't read too well and would appeaciate the option of having it read out. (when I add sound though)

how come most of these are rude?

mine is
terisa green (my hairdresser)
Mayor Nase
Some i see on credit cards at work

Here is a thread for all the little niggles in AGS games, (just so I know what to avoid)

The most annoying thing for me is very small hotspots, my mouse for my computer is not that good and I miss them, anyone share my opinion?

Tell me is it acceptable to have a small picture of say a rubber and make the hotspot larger than the picture? Because I played one game where you had to click on the wall next to the object to pick it up. how annoying.

Oh on a techical note how do I make object hotspots bigger, It's a fork and tiny on screen. thats all

Oh, it's rough, all of you.
what do the police get paid to do again?

I was out with my little brother on our bikes and some guys, in fact a whole bunch of them came and attacked us. I distracted them and told my brother to ride away, (his bike cost more) but he still ended up with something sharp in his back and my bike got broken.
my brother could name three of them and I could name one. but because there were no whitnesses (over 18) they did nothing even though we came out of it brused and stuff with a broken bike.
Like i'd do that myself for fun ect...

Poor you, I nearly cried. :'(
But single parent familys are fun, my mum has lots of friends who help us out.
The divorce was a shock for me at first, was a great excuse not to do homework, but since then life went a little downhill. My little bro had to go to boarding school, he's autistic and theres no local schools that will teach him. My big sister ran away, wonder where she is, does anyone know a Joanne Ebsworth, with black/ dark brown hair.

But even though I miss all these people, I'm happy, me my mum and my other little brother. (we talk about computer games all day)

So if something does happen as long as you have one or two people around that love you, it will all be fine.

Well...
Dragon Slayers, my game is near the finish, but I need one last puzzle.
heres the situation
You are an 8 year old boy who has to get toy weapons for his friends to fight the dragon. The first two weapons are a sword and a catapault, (i'll be a major spoiler if i tell you how to make them) The last weapon is made from a broom, (which you steal off Roger Wilco cameo park janitor) But...
What should be added to the broom to make it a weapon?
my ideas
Feather duster (tickle stick)
Butter knife
glue?
various articles of meat (as a lure)

last thing, do you think it is ok if I use Roger (redrawn/ reainimated) the space quest one not the default ags one.

when I get stuck with backgrounds I get someone else to draw an outline on paper then i scan it in and edit.

The scanned image usually looks so rubbish that anything I make looks a little good even if it doesn't have any resembleance to the original.

but don't be so hard on yourself, I always expect more from myself, but i know when to down tools (mouse in this case) and say I have done enough.

Either that or get a friend to have a look, if they say wow when you open it you may have a winner!

wow, sounds good, i'm waiting for it too. whens it out in the uk anyway?

*Gemmalah waits outside games shop in pouring rain to find out*

right loominus this is what i know.

I can play a little keyboard but only with alphabetical notes and alot of time. Can press the buttons randomly if that helps. I can play three note chords.

one teacher told me to write a poem first and fit notes to it. i can write poems.

i can sing, very well, maybe i could sing different notes and fit them together on a programme. but now i've written it down that idea sounds rather stupid.

my dad plays guitar and i am trying to learn, (don't think this helps) i know how to  pluck lucy in the sky with diamonds.

i haven't done music at school for 4 years.

To everyone else, thank you very much for the offer of help, I will keep this in mind but I will have to ask my teacher if this is allowed, i recon I may have to write it myself.
*runs away and hides in a corner under the family keyboard,* it's quite scary.

ok TK, programmes are not a problem, it's actually writing the music, knowling how to put melody and background together that actually sonds good. making a tune in the first place.

and what does the side note mean?

this may be the wrong place to put this but here goes.

I'm making a game for a school project, i need to make my own music, can anyone give me any hints to start this, because i am not  musically minded, only programming and pictures.

my brother has a keybopard to plug into a computer, we also have a microphone. i don't know how to use either very well but this won't be a problem.

my game is aboyut kids of 7/8 on a quest to slay a dragon. Does it need to be of a certain style to fit.

thanks a bunch everybody

don't consentate on the whole charactor all at once, make the legs move then add in arms, thats how i try.
or do it like me and have rubbish walking animations in a blocky cartoon background. the styles match so it doen't look stupid.

it is so cute, the first picture is adorable, can't make much sence of the rest, is it a he or a she? that may effect thr personality somewhat.

woah, that looks good, could be a  picture from a comic.
what is the girl doing with her arms by the way?
i like the way you cannot see all of thecreature, leaves more to the imagination, and everyone will imagine the most scary thing to them!

that strikes me as a little redundant!
 :o
very moody though.
