You can import a hi-colour image into a 256 colour game?  :o Never know that. I thought that it's only possible if you import hi-colour images into a hi-colour game and then switch it back to 256 colour, that I also thought that the resultant won't ever work...

didnt gilbert make a character for that?

Yes, but not a character, there're 2 characters. One of them was being updated to work for the newer versions, but progress was slow and it lasted for years.

Nope, there isn't such function in AGS at the moment.


Some other programmes, however, maybe able to trace an image into true type fonts. I never did such things, so I don't know much about it.

There is a native Linux version of the game engine already, see:

If you meaned the Game Editor, Erica Mclane had had success in running it through WINE, see:
http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?board=6;action=display;threadid=6010

There're no native Linux version of the editor at the moment.

I think no one would be pissed, there're indy platforms already...

HAHAHAHA

Too bad it's not THAT day anymore.

But note that NewRoomEx() can only be used for the player character, you must tackle with the variables if you want to move an NPC.

This is the uncomplete demo version of the game, so you'll soon reach the end of it.

I think I'll merge the 2 topics.

[run-script]

Ah I just replied to your other thread, and the answer is obvious now, change also this portion:

Dialog code:

@14  // option 14
ant: "Text here."
ant: "Question 4:"
run-script 2
return

Don't get goto-dialog and run-script mixed up, goto-dialog is used to switch to another dialog topic while run-script is used to invoke the dialog_request() function.

[run-script]

Hmmm you never run the dialog_request() function in your dialog script, unless that's just a small portion of your dialog script.

In that case, the crash was probably caused by calling a non-existing dialog topic (topic 10), while what you really wanted to do was to run-script 10 there. If my guess is correct, you should do it like:

Dialog script:

@16  // option 16
ant: "Some text here"
ant: "some text here"
run-script 10
stop


PS: actually you don't need that "SetGlobalInt (18,0);" in game_start() as all Global Ints were initially set to 0 at game start already.

Hmmm can you post your dialog_request() script here?

I just pop in to say that 400x300/800x600 modes were added just because of frequent requests, they're not really recommended, especially for first-time-games.

Mats berglinn made a cave man game.

Heh, as far as I know, Def was making a caveman game too. But who cares? Go ahead.

Will teh spaceship be available for downloading in the Tech forum?

Hmmm you're right if the game was made such that EACH character has his OWN font.
But even if you have say 50 characters you don't need 50 font sets, you can just set several characters to use font set 1, several to use font set 2, etc. So I think it may be a good idea.

[AFTER MONKEY]

Hehehe after seeing the topic, I cant resist to post this again:











Well... This is teh real one:


Teh Game is AFTER MONKEY!!!11!!

Actually they don't allow hotlinking, so you can link to an image directly from other pages, but you can link to a html page containing images I think.

You can have several options:
1. Just provide link to the image, and add a line of text like "(drag link to address bar)" to remind readers.
2. Just make a simple web page, puts the images on it, and post the link here.
3. Use something like "anomizer.com" (I don't know the correct address), which when you add something to prefix the image address, it can trick geocities to provide the image for hotlinking.
4. Use some *free* image hosting services that allow hotlinking, like www.villagephotos.com
5. Pay for some decent web spaces.
