This is a wild shot, but is your additional GUI OVER the inventory window? Then it will "catch" the mouse clicks and the result will be "inventory clicks not working".

I'm asking because your code looks nothing out of the ordinary and shouldn't break anything, and I HAVE seen GUI overlays causing the exact problem.

May, 6, 11.23h: congrats to Clara, Mr. and Mrs. Kreyenberg!

Awww, sweet! A belated happy birthday to her.

And a nice one to elektroshokker too!

I recently updated my computer to be able to play some recent games I always wanted to play, and never could.

Wow. But what about all those slave kids in the mines, man, digging the copper for that machine!
With their tiny tiny hands!

Sometimes something does not work because it just is not good enough. Or maybe it is rather good and just has to run against healthy competition. Not everything is wrecked by trolls.

Enter the rabbit hole but bring the vorpal blade. It's a mean place down there and you're not yourself without some snicker-snak.

Bananas are terrorists, which is helpfully proven by their name alone. So easy to start to say. So hard to stop to say. Banananananana... phone?

Is it friday already?

People don't people people. PEOPLE people people.

Soylent Green confirmed!

Rage is an emotion!

Dunce Nukem Forever player agrees

Beyond Good & Evil is fantastic in the way that they could put toguether so many game elements plus a decent and fun story

Manly luv!

Gamma will only work in fullscreen mode, as soon as someone has to run your game windowed, he can't use AGS gamma and will have to adjust his monitor. There's no way around that.
In my experience each and every (recent) computer allows you to either tweak your monitor settings directly and/or gives acess to the graphics card's panel; so:
Yes, people can change their setting to play your game.
NO, they won't like it

edit:
I ran into a similar situation with my very first game (what was black on my monitor was barely 60% grey on a well adjusted one). The thing is, just tweaking brightness will result in colours looking all wrong; personally I'd say you're better of recreating the images, and reimport them. Might be a lot of work, but it's usually worth it.

Anyone ever played Beyond Good and Evil? In the end, when Jade's gone- that final shot of Uncle Pey'j?
Goddamn, they made a BOAR make me feel sad.
A cartoon anthro boar with jet-boots powered by his own gasses made me feed sad.

I really like the clean art and the focus on clear details. Pretty sure it'll look great in-game, especially with parallaxing.

One thing- in the first screenshot you're using a prominent texture for the rocks, which makes them stand out more. I wonder if the trees in the second pic would benefit from a similar texturing (like the rocks they are the larged thing on-screen, filled in one colour). Maybe worth a try?

And done. Very old very male ghost answes.

I even have a disk of that. Was a fun game; I remember it fondly.

I was just about to check out from paypal back to the site when this happened:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'else' (T_ELSE), expecting catch (T_CATCH) in /home/peder/bluecupbakesale.com/app/controllers/payment/complete.php on line 60

You pushed the button, right?

Thanks for the fast patch-up, Ponch! Let's just call it a feature and all's golden

can ghosts use guns?

That, and they make awesome additions to racing tracks

Because drivers don't drive cars. Cars are driven by drivers. It's all in the drive, as long as your driver can display it.

This this got me thinking thread got me thinking. Is this what Ghost is thinking at 5 AM ??

Absolutely!

I feel humbled and enlightened now. So I'll make a bacon sammich and feel all great.

Okay, you all know the saying "Guns don't kill people. People do."

It's arguably true (with the possible exception of Robocop, who is a cop, and cops are people, but he's also a gun.)

Now can we transfer this rule? Does that mean that toasters don't toast toast, but toasts toast toasts?

And... do game programmers not program games... program games game programmers (or game them)?

I feel I can't tackle this alone. I need philosophers here.
