hee hee at you all
S S H that's funny stuff

Shouldn't haikus rhyme?
Maybe so but I don't know
yes I just don't know

Where do flowers grow?
Do you know? No I don't know
I think I'm stupid

This thread is the most
yes it really is the most
posted in of all

Yeah I agree.
A friend of mine had a problem with her computer, dunno if it was a virus or something else, but a lot of her art was deleted .

This makes me so mad! Grrah...

I really love the RPGish sprites here.

I reccomend using the unhandled_event and using a random number so that a different message appears each time .

Can't wait for more of this game!

P.s. check your PM's.

edit: woot! 300th post and I didn't even notice.

Ooh, I love it, Bracik!
Makes my idea sound like rubbish, hehe. I'll still finish it though.

Do you think it's better to upload it as a word file or just post it here?

Great story, really loved the end .

Argh, I meant palaeontologist of course. I also wanted to invent something, and I'm pretty interested in movie producing/special effects. But I think programming is what I'll end up as. The most important thing is to be happy, so umm, yeah .

I am quite like GinnyW. I from a young age wanted to become a programmer, and I still do. It it probably due to the fact that both of my parents are programmers.

Ginny, we really should open up and Israeli company, right after the army.  

My dad was a programmer, so that's probably why I want to be a programmer I guess. I was also raised with a computer always at home, from the blue screen DOS my dad used, then something else, then 3.1 windows and then 95 and 98. Now we have XP .

*sigh* nostalgic trip...
I don't remember much of my childhood, but better than anything I remember when I was playing at the computer. I hardly remember anything from my first grade, but I remember playing a game where you shoot a cannon when I was 4 or something .

I'm getting sentimental now, hehe.

Barcik: Great idea .
After the army would mean when I'm about 23 though, hehe, since I want to go to the army after the university.

Nice background Minime! Though the colors seem odd to me (the floor and walls that is).

TheKork: I like the additions, one thing though, the poster (MU ZAK?) is off perspective, it should follow the lines of the wall.

That's awesome!
Damn, how do you do that? That looks so great!

I especcially like the second room. How did you draw the wallpaper?

My only critic is the outlines, I think they should be black or a darker version of the color they're outlining. You could try having no outlines at all, but I dunno if it'll fit in the style. Hmm, what did DOTT use? It's been a while since I played it.

The idea sounds great too, I can't wait to play this game!

edit: Hmm, when I think about it the celing intn room 2 seems off perspective, even for the DOTT style, it seems like it's a straight continuation of the wall. Everything else is wonderful! I love the shading and the colors!

Ooh, great!
I finally managed to donload it, and I must say it was very much worth the effort.
Great game, would love to see an expanded version someday .

I love the idea, would be really useful!

No need to copy seperate graphics if I'm moving the game to a new computer on a cd for example (which is what I'll be dioing soon ).

Hmm, as I understand it, you should use:
if (button==2) {
//your stuff for the parser here
}

inside this:
else if (interface==0) {
// here
}

It seems a bit odd that it uses the word button when it's a text box, but that's the parameter so this should work I think.

Well, since speed has a connection to the filesize, there might be something.
I read this in a tutorial which I can't find now, credits to whoever it was that wrote it:
For hi-res games, select all but the first 42 pallete slots and set them to "This slot is background specific" and then convert the game to hi-color. Then with all backgrounds set them to Indexed color and reduce their colors to 217 or less if you don't need that many, but 217 will do fine. This shouldn't lower the quality at all, but will decrease file size.
Make sure when decreasing colors you use 100% dithering, to ensure the quality stays the same.

Hope this helps .

I didn't quite understand, but if you're having some problems with colors, this might help, I had some problems with coloring of my background, and this helped fix it for some reason.

If you're using the normal inventory, which I'm guessing you are, then just create an action for the 'look at' inventory item interaction. If you want a message or speech displayed, use the Game- Display Message action.

This is one of the most basic things and they're all described in this tutorial:
http://www.agsforums.com/acintro.htm
Read and follow this tutorial and after that also the scripting tutorial here:
http://www.agsforums.com/acres.shtml (Scripting in AGS)
This will get you started with basic scripting and such.

If you want a close-up, you need to create a new room with the close up as the background, and move the character to this room when he looks at the note in his inventory. There are a few more things to do also polish this out, but I think you meant that you wanted to display a description of the item.

Everyone's was great: WanderLady' was just hilarious, as was Dunezone's, but in the end I was torn between evilspacefart, Witchsmeller and Plasticman.

But after a long time of really hard thinking, I decided to go with....

Witchsmeller's.

Damn, they were all so great!

"Portal Open" I love that

edit: Vote people!

Nice character, but you're right, she doesn't look like what you had in mind.
Try a different pose maybe?Also, her hands seem to close to he body, which makes her look lost IMO.

The feet of course wouldn't be facing the sides.
I like the shading, but I think the breasts need a little more of it .

hehe, lol.
Since you won't need to write any script, I think it'll be easy, just create a new GUI, give it all the properties the original inventory GUI has, add inventory window and buttons and do the same with the properties.
Thst should do it I think, except for a few things in the script you might need to alter.

Hmm, you know what, I dunno if this'll work, but try exporting the normal GUI then importing it again, and name it INVENTORY, renaming the normal one to GUI or something like that.
Then in the global script just specify the number for the imported version, and this might solve the problem

Looks great LGM!
Reminds me of S&M's portal mirror thing, hehe.

Hmm, today's the 13th, so do we vote now?
It's been really tough, but I think I finally made up my mind, lol, it was extremely hard to choose though, with tons of great entries/

Hmm, I dunno, sounds a little like a fake, but hmm...
Yikes.
I don't think someone can find out where you live by the ISP though...

That's why I always download cdkeys on iMesh buy games and make sure I remember where I put the case.

I did lose the cdkey for the sims, the paper fell out of the case, but a friend of mine also has it so I installed it using her cd and then installed the expansion pack I have.

Don't worry too much, I think it'll turn out to be fake or sort itself out.

No, dosvedanya means goodbye too.
It sounds like some sort of variation of russian or croatian as fuzz and scotch said, but I can't understand it quite...

ste protiv mene - could mean all/everyone against me, vse protiv menya in russian.
i protiv drugi - and against other/others.

crba - hmm I dunno what this means but it could be his nationality or something, the context would suggest it.

Vi i onaj sa dugim imenom = you and her with another name?   weird.

edit: aha! I ran some of this text (first transferred to russian font) on a translation program, with russian since it only had that, but it doesn't matter I found what I wanted, crbe is a very badly typed serbian it seems.
Now if there was only some program that let me use the english letters, would save me finding the russian letters on the keyboard

edit2: Looks like he's been mixing spanish(?) and serbian or something. Because there are some words that seem to be in spanish and it makes a bit of sense that way

I saw everyone is against me and against other Serbians. I gives will your take.
You and others(?) all were _____ because/______ his good/nice ovde (dunno??).
You and her with another name.

So, umm, basically not worth noticing, lol .

I'm having some trouble downloading it, hmm..
first time it got to 7% percent and then there was an error and it cancelled itself, now it's been stuck on 3% for about 10 minutes.
odd..
