edit: I see someone has posted already . Anyway, you need to run a script from the dialog, and in that script you use the SetDialogOption function, because you can't use normal functions in dialogs.

in the dialog script, in the script for the option you want to click to turn off a different option:

run-script 1

in the global script-

function dialog_request (int dr) {

if (dr==1) {
SetDialogOption(2,4,1);
}

}

This will unlock opttion 4 in topic 2. Replace the numbers with whatever you need.

Awesome! This'll be great! :o

Can't wait to see more!

Looks great! Make it a little lighter though, the whole image, and maybe there would be / could be some light shining from underneath it, but then again maybe not, hehe.

The texture looks great!

Lol @ remixor!

The Big Apple:




Next: An unusual door...

Flic's don't have sound? Well, it's good to know I guess, thanks.
Anyway, in the manual it says there's a program which transforms .AVI movies into Flic's.

The reason this is mentioned in the manual is that in 256 color depth, you can't use AVI or MPG, only Flic. You can use avi and mpg in hi-color though.

edit: The program is actually what is called the Smacker tools (www.smacker.com), which split avi's into wav's and flc's, wav for the sound and flc for the movie.

Yep, and the te of piglet is great too .
I got them together as a birthday present, I like books like that. Anyway, I'm reading the look inside for Ishmael in Amazon.com right now:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0553375407/103-3344908-4982261?v=glance&s=books

There's also one called "My Ishmael" is that a continuation or something?

I'd love to see a Narnia game! Is there a particular reason why you chose The lion the witch and the wardrobe and not The magicians nephew for example, which is the first?

Anyway, nice background, thouh is a little, uneven I would say, but I'm not quite sure what I mean, lol.
Needs more shading I agree. I like the lamp-post but the lamp on it IMO needs to be less dark a color, and emits light of course, so around it thing s should be lighter and have a little yelowish hue, umm, sort of .

Anyway, why not show a hanger with a coat (only part of it though) instead of one of the foreground trees. Or is that too far back in the closet, I don't quite recall?

Hehe, just curious, when do the awards occur anyway? And what awards are there? I haven't been here long enough to witness it, hehe.

And yes, through PM's this activity could be very funny, but it couls also just be, add a part, and the first to add a certain part is the one to umm, add it . The "ruler" could make a list of parts to add, like if the image is a background of a forest for example, then you start with a ground and sky, and then:

-grass
-clouds
-faraway hills
-trees

etc...

What are you scripting?
Scriping can be fun sometimes,
One two three four nine.

Oh where is the mouse?
Thou has seen a mouse or not?
I am not a mouse.

Hehe, hilarious!!

Read only if you've tried it, hehe:

Spoiler

I really liked the hammer too, and the gun was funny aswell

I agree, a different verb might've worked better, like pick up or something like that.

Hmm, sounds interesting.
While on the subject of changing the view on things- read "The Tao of Pooh" and "The Te of Piglet", both by Benjamin Hoff.
They are books about taoism (a way of life which results IMO in happiness), and it explains taoism using the characters from Winnie the Pooh, and uses Taoism to exaplin Winnie the Pooh.
Basically, even if you don't read it in a very philosophical way, it's still darn amusing

Hmm, I think I have Ishmael in hebrew, I think I got it form my elementary school. Oh wait, no that was called "Elisha"
Anyway, some time ago, I stumbled on Ishmael on Amazon while looking for philosophical books (i.e. in the style of "Johnatan Livingston Seagull" and "The little prince". That sort of philosophical ).

Awesome!

And yeah it does remind me of Piposh a bit, though I havn't played piposh, but I've seen the art in an article (get it? ).

Anyway, I love the improved background, and The King is great too, though his hair looks odd, like it's very long.

Great work!

Highwaygal: I didn't know you were from Israel! There sure are many of us here

Yep, one of the spots I found on the other picture .

Hehe

I bet touchscreen was more fun that clicking though

Say, I've been thinking of making flash cutscenes, which will probably be one of the hardest things to do for my game (top secret, shh ), but I really love cutscenes so...
Can Flash export as avi or mpg formats?

And also, does anyone know how cut scenes like the ones in Grim Fandango were made? With what program? Of course I'll never reach that level of art, but the program itself interests me. Or do they use an engine they programmed?

(I believe the cut scenes in MI4 were also in the same style/way, though not sure..)

yep, that's what I meant. And you could also use roger or some insta game screens for now. Just remember to ask before using a screenie .

Anywa, is there a particular reason why you decided to make this? Just curious.

Nice, pretty easy but still nice, took a while to find one of them

I'm afraid I wouldn't be any help in the drawing department .

A suggestion: you could do this with screenshots/halfscreenshots/characters from games, or with other thing AGS related too .

45 minutes! god, that's quick!

say, what do you color with? pencils?

Looks great!

Sweeet!!!

The 'typical guy' looks great, I love the expressions!

God, this rocks, I would love to play a game in this style!
