I'll say 'NO', as it's not directly related to AGS, or much about the development of skills related to AGS, moreover that'll be too much work, compared to the archievement which may not be quitr meaningful to many people here.
I think there're many more communities/sites/whatever more suitable for this kind of thing, but not here at the moment.
Moreover, the period for AGS website design had past already.

Hmmm change it to a popup modal? (this way you don't need to call the pause and unpause game yourself)

The reason the game won't respond to key press while paused is due to this line:
  if (IsGamePaused() == 1) keycode=0;  // game paused, so don't react to keypresses

in the default global script code of the function on_key_press(), if you remove it, the game will respond to key presses during game pause. If you ONLY want the keys to be recognized while that GUUI's on and the game's pause, you can change that line to stuff like:

  if ((IsGamePaused() == 1)&&(IsGuiOn(BLAH)==0)) keycode=0;  // game paused and GUI BLAH is not on, so don't react to keypresses

Hmm can you upload the room files in question for us to check?

Download failed for me...

That means, you're not adding the content to be added to on_key_press() in the on_key_press() function already defined, but started making a new one.

Just move the content to be added to that function into the ORIGINAL function and delete your new definition of it.

and the table looks kinda wrong. If there was an explosin in the position that you markes then the leg closset to the table should be broken, not the one farthest from it.

Heh probably the explosion was so fierce so the table got thrown flying and swirled for some circles before landing again.
But anyway, my comments are similar to others, but only one thing that got me thinking was the "pools" of darker colour in the middle of the ground and between the cop's legs, what were these supposed to be actually? Maybe the cop wet himself before he died?

Ã,  BTW: Please put you code in [ code ] [ /code ]Ã,  look at the last part of your scriptÃ,  palette.are is not acceptable.

Because I don't want to, and you should had read my edit.

I didn't want to dig this up, but but but...

[color tmppal[256];]

If you are using 256 color it can be done.Ã,  Using the setpalRGB, just set every palette slot (using a while loop) to have equal parts of R, G and B (you might want to average the R, G and B of each slot).Ã, 

No, don't use SetPalRGB(), especially in circumstances like this, that probably all 256 slots need to be changed at once. The reason was each call to SetPalRGB() updates the screen once, that made it updating the screen hundreds of times in one game loop (as this function only alters one colour slot at one time), which can be EXTREMELY slow with some computers (trust me, I had encountered this before). The best way is to mess with the palette[] variables, then call UpdatePalette() to update the screen at once.

Example:

First you need some variables to hold the original palette (so you can restore it back later).
color tmppal[256];

If you want to turn the screen B/W (I only do instant effect here, if you want gradual change, I can also post it here):
int i,tcolor;
while(i<256){
tmppal.are=palette.are;//save the palette
tmppal.g=palette.g;
tmppal.b=palette.b;
tcolor=(palette.are+palette.g+palette.b)/3;
palette.are=tcolor;
palette.g=tcolor;
palette.b=tcolor;
i++;
}
UpdatePalette();


If you want the colours back, just do:
int i;
while(i<256){
palette.are=tmppal.are;
palette.g=tmppal.g;
palette.b=tmppal.b;
i++;
}
UpdatePalette();



EDIT: Foolish txt style correcting, it's changing all my .R into .are

Is the file on AGS's site updated as well? Because I cant download it via your link here.

Use scripting to position the character, example:

character[BLAH].x = 150;
character[BLAH].y = 80;

I think that'll not cause any problems. I did this all the time, rearranging the order of functions to suit my needs.

Read the forum rules please.
As I think this is not a topic which will lead to much more discussions (there're similar threads already I think) I'll lock it instead of moving.

Glad to hear that's been solved, but my advice is that you should not use numbers directly to refer to characters (unless it's really necessary), use their script names instead. (You should note that, character number starts from 0, so it may be a problem if your player character is #0 and you're using 1 in your scripts).

heh isn't that obvious?

#sectionstart room_a  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function room_a() {
  // script for room: Player enters screen (after fadein)
}
#sectionend room_a  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE

Why? That feature was already implemented!

Why are you posting here then? Are you telling us a way to hack AGS (I don't care as I don't have M$VC and am not interested in hacking it, moreover it's of a user's own concious mind to determine whether he should have done something).

If you wanted to warn CJ of this you may just drop him a private message.

Moreover, you can just reply to that old thread without starting a new one.

What's the problem with the steering wheel ? It's also on the right side here too, but it's on teh left side in mainland China.

How can you make a fangame from a game you don't want to play until you have made a fangame for ?

I'm seeing problems here...
