Yes, you got it. Sorry for not replying sooner.

By the way, you can find a complete guide in Help->BBCode

Sorry, guys! Thanks, Cassie for reminding me.

Here's one:



Oh Danvzare, Ultimuh is terrible. It's more of a sidescroller than anything resembling an Ultima game.

Flatheadia. The naughty spanking

Does this include the whole subcontinent or just India?

Congratulations, Tycho! I look forward to the next challenge!

Finally, some smokers! This was looking like a "Do you smoke? NO" thread for a bit.

I don't smoke... now.

I smoked for 7 years and stopped smoking about 9 years ago. I was never really addicted, so I just stopped one day and didn't look back. I smoked mostly for fashion -- 3 or 4 a day.

Actually, we used to joke that cigarette packs had "smoking is addictive" and "smoking harms your baby" on them, but the very first pack you bought just said "smoking is cool".

I used to smoke Peter Stuyvesants and Lucky Strikes.

And even if all the dithering isn't "Sierra accurate" it looks great.  I'd focus on making the best looking game in that resolution rather than trying to perfectly mimic a style, but that would be my choice.  If your choice is different, so be it.

Same here, actually. To me, it looks like a game of the EGA era, with Sierra-styled character art, and that's not a bad thing!

Wrong...

But.... I'm quite sure it was a freaky but good movie...

And I knew the screenshot wasn't from it, but I just wanted to mention it while everyone was mentioning Earth movies. A very underrated sci-fi film.

The Quiet Earth?

In that particular image the protagonist in 2x1 looks like a bare-breasted woman!

Haha! Yeah I was afraid someone might say that. Not sure how to make him into a strong barbarian in 2x1 without that illusion. He either has "breasts" or flat chest

It looks a bit more chest-like stretched out to a pseudo-4:3 aspect ratio, IMHO:



Sierra really only ever used a 50% ordered dither, like the part I've highlighted in magenta here:

That's what stands out to me.

Hmmm, maybe that's your answer right there. I know you said the backgrounds aren't part of the game, but what game is this exactly? It looks cool. Reminds me in a remote way of Space Quest II, with the exploring of the planet and discovering of new beings and cultures.

Could this be a Conan the Barbarian game?

I prefer the version with more detail!

Each time you restore a game, the counter is being reset because it's part of the saved game data.

Using an external file is a perfectly workable solution. I would keep track of how many times each slot has been restored and reset a slot's restore count when that slot is saved.

Thinking outside the box, you could implement your own "retry" button when the player dies. Have that button move the player to the start of the scene and reset any variables, then increment a retry counter. It would mean custom scripting for each death in the game, but as you're not restoring, you'll avoid the pitfalls of your current approach.

Khris listed a good workaround in the other thread, but fixing the design properly is a bit involved.

Remove all size=75 declarations from <input> elements in the code. These, combined with the width of the YouTube URL in the left column of the table, are what is pushing the width of the table out.
Add a class to each of the affected <input> elements, something like class="fullWidth".
Add a rule to the stylesheet:

Code: ags

.fullWidth { width: 100% }

If you don't fancy messing with the textboxes, you could fix it with just:

Code: ags

input[type=text][size=75] { width: 100% }

However, this is overriding the bad markup and may negatively affect other pages. It would be better to clean up the markup and apply styles in a modern fashion (as above).

Note: I tested these solutions in Chrome (which exhibited the problem for me) and they worked for me.

Mel Odius Goes Six String Searchin'?

I think we've had that one before.

For me, generated data files are located in:

C:\ProgramData\Adventure Game Studio\(name of game)

Have you looked there?

You say that you've used this project for various projects in the past. Have you verified that one of these projects generates logs correctly recently? AGS' handling of game-generated files changed a while ago, and that may be why you're having trouble finding the files.
