Aw Really bad news.

RIP Phil.

I seem to have not used the LV smiley enough, but the smiling head is both appropriate and inappropriate here now, :(

Are there any news on the Wiki?

I used to update the Hall of Fame thread in the activity section, which was to be done alongside the page on the Wiki.

With the Wiki not working I haven't done the routine maintenance (like, locking old threads beside the records in Hall of Fame) on that section for a while now (I am not being lazy! I swear!).

With the Wiki not working people aren't able to update the info of this year's AGS Awards either.

Looks like Q*bert, but the characters are a bit weird (not that the characters in Q*bert aren't weird).

Looks like a Touho game, but I'm not familiar with the series to name which game it is.

I haven't read thoroughly what you're supposed to do, but try this first:
Code: ags
int RNG; 

function game_start()
{
  RNG = Random(3)+1; //Random(3) gives a value from 0-3 so add 1 to get a value from 1-4
}

A few points of note:
  • A global variable must be defined OUTSIDE of any function; otherwise the variable is only created inside the function and destroyed once the function is finished.
  • You can only assign a static value to a variable at definition, when it's defined outside of any function, so you cannot assign RNG a value from Random() immediately, but have to do so inside the function game_start() like your original code.
  • The Random() function takes only one parameter (you may check the manual).
  • If the variable is only used in the global script that's okay, but if you need to use it also in another script you have to export the variable and import it to other scripts (see this).

This topic now lives in the Advanced Tech forum and is stickied. :)

I know, but I'd rather people start a new topic next time instead of having through the whole thing.
I've thought of splitting the thread, but too lazy didn't want to edit the thing to make it make sense as a new thread.

Since the info. in this thread is outdated (unless you're using a very old version of AGS for some reasons), I think it is fair to lock it, so that spammers couldn't bump it to include spam links, and legit users who found it in a search would realise it's outdated.

I think that screenshot gave out the answer immediately, even though I've never watched the film.
That has to be the most iconic scene of the whole film, not an obscure one, right?

It's not TheFrighter's fault though, as it was first resurrected by a spambot, but the spam post was later deleted so this looks odd now.

Okay then, I'll try the old strategy in this thread. :=

Robocop

If not, then:

Blade Runner

Hmmm. I just added an avatar and it worked for me.
Maybe the forum just doesn't like your urls and bullies you.

On a side note, I finally add an avatar! After more than two decades!
The irony is that this avatar was indeed created for use here, back when just hotlinking a 20kb forum avatar from free image hosting could eat up all the monthly bandwidth, so I never put it up here.

A cow flying a plane is a very dangerous activity, Moooo.stly forbidden to be depicted in public forums to avoid casualties...




Seriously though, have you tried changing the file name of the image and see whether it works?
#78
Yeah. March here too.

Quote from: abstauber on Wed 04/01/2023 12:01:23Is it Power Drift?

Yes!
Finally someone recognises it.
It's a (kart) racing game, and being able to control a F-14 on the street is no joke and not a hack:
(Hmmm. Seems that embedding YouTube video at specific time doesn't work for me. Just start at around 5:40.)
As long as your performance is good enough after selecting certain courses your kart will transform into this plane in the extra stage (and will transform into the bike from Hang On if you choose the other courses).

Your turn, Abstauber.

Big hint: You have the genre right.
But it's not Outrun and it's not a hack.
This is what will really happen in the game.
