I think a goto command can cause more troubles than convenient, it may not work good under function oriented languages (C-style) in my opinion.

Try checking the option "Resource split every Mb:" in general settings and set some number for size (like trying with 3MB, 2MB, 1MB) and see if loading speed can be improved.

Older versions of AGS were know to have long delays loading resources if the game's too big, that's why the above option was added, hoping to improve loading times by chopping the game resources into smaller chrunks.


Of course, it can also be related to the specs of the computer.

Agreed with eric.

We should wait for Radiant himself to say whether if the game is still being made or not, especially when he looked active recently, so he would probably read this and reply.

Of course if the game's cancelled this thread can be locked, but we can't confirm until we hear a word from Radiant himself.

It's always a better choice if you can make an effect without using a plugin.

So, Chronos, simple but nice work.

1. You can't do that, just reuse that cursor or ignore it, if you keep a backup of your files you can use the backup.

2. If your game is hicolour or above, one way was to use regions, just set the light levels of them.

Well I think games deserved the p3n15 award were mostly legendary games, so, what's the problem of tricking attracting more people to download them and try them out for the glory of the AGS throne ?
#6029
Heh nope, I'm well know for stalking over here for years but yet didn't make any game. I have an old tech demo demostrating day-night transition effects though (which won't work with current AGS versions anymore).

QuoteIt's hard to see 'cos I like Bitmaps but AGS don't like 'em.
It's the forum not liking BMP's not AGS ;) (AGS hates JPEG).
You can just convert the picture into PNG format, and I don't see the reason why not (if your version of M$Pain or whatever programme you're using can't save in PNG, just grab a small programme that can convert to PNG, for example Irfan view.)

Moreover you can enlarge the image using forum tags so we can see it better.

I know, it's not even a little bit funny...

Hmmm I think that's not possible without scripting, you may do something like:

if (GetRegionAt(GetObjectX(5),GetObjectY(5))==3) { //if object 5 is on region 3
//Blah bla bla
}

Of course, you can always use characters instead.

Anyway, anything Pumaman said are rules.

Here's the strange thing about it, the object DOES exist in the sprite manager...
I think this was the problem, SetObjectPosition() (and all those "object" related functions) works only with objects you put in a room, not a sprite in the sprite manager. You have to create an object (and choose a sprite graphics to use from the sprite manager) in the room first.
#6036
Disagreed. It will get the functions confused with variables, etc. very easily. Furthermore I think most programming languages treat this kind of adaptation as illegal.

Load button? in winsetup?
#6038
Yes, actually there'll be a redirection post after moving a thread only when you told it to do so.

However, I think such posts would move down the list soon if when people post new topics or in other threads anyways, so they should not be a large problem.

Hmmm are you using a shortcut to run the game or change to the game's directory first and then run it?

Did executing winsetup.exe give a similar error?
