For those who don't know, I'm a die-hard Jason Voorhees fan(Until they made him all sissy-like in Freddy vs Jason), so you can imagine it's a great honor for me to be on the Friday the 13th fan art page.   

It's drawn with a mouse in flash, so it's nothing special. But it's there!

(I'm HillBillyWorm, by the way).

So, anybody else have a crush on horror movies from the 80's? Or do you find them just plain stupid? I know I still like 'em.

*Happiness overload*

Yep, the MIDI maker trial is out, and I need a somewhat talented musician to do some music for a game I'm making. It don't need to be something super-advanced symphony made in 3 weeks. All I need is something simple that wont take much of your time to make.

SCREENSHOTS:


Okay, here is what I need:

START SCREEN THEME - Something like this: http://www.scummbar.com/mi2/DOTT/03%20-%20Busting%20The%20Candy%20Machine.mp3

THE HOUSE - Something like this: http://www.scummbar.com/mi2/DOTT/12%20-%20Visited%20By%20IRS.mp3 or http://www.scummbar.com/mi2/DOTT/17%20-%20Hotel%20Exteriors%20Past.mp3

THE ATTIC - Something like this: http://www.scummbar.com/mi2/DOTT/05%20-%20Dr.%20Fred%27s%20Laboratory.mp3

ENDING THEME - Whatever. Aslong as it's happy.

Of course, the music I posted here was more advanced. The music I'm going to use don't need to be that advanced, but it would be of course alot cooler.

The most important tracks is the house and the start screen.

The music will of course be credited.


Thanks alot!

Yello,

I was wondering if anyone had a copy of this game somewhere? 2ma2 don't seem to have his site working anymore, and I deleted most of my harddrive a few months ago.

Thanks!

(I hope this is the right forum for this. If not... Well, dammit!)

Hello!

I'm currently using midi maker for my MIDI's and I need a tip from someone who has been working with MIDI's longer than me. Everytime I'm trying to make a background MIDI, it gets kind of "depressive/sad/seriously negative/scary". I don't know how to say this in english, but everything turns out in "MOLL". I need it to be "DUR". Slow, but happy. So, I was wondering if someone knows what instruments that's best to use for this? Everytime I try the flute, trombone, tuba, trompet it fits more like background music for Maniac Mansion 1 or something. I've noticed that the high hat fits nice, but it gets boring, and I need to add some more. Which only get it in "MOLL".

To make it short: What instruments is best if I want to have a happy, yet slow background tune?

Thanks!

Okay, the story goes like this: It's a beautiful summer day, and Joe(Joseph) must still go to school. If that wasn't enough, his whole class(including him) did it so bad on the last math test that the teacher has informed them to practise math all day! Joe exuses himself to go to the toilet, but is really trying to escape. The doors leading outside is locked shut during lesson, so Joe must use his imagination. Can you help him out before it's too late(Okay, it's never "too late". You can use as much time as you want...)?!

I've finished most of the hard stuff this week, and I hope to get this game done as soon as possible.

Screenies(I will get more soon, so take it easy.):

Okay, I've been using a few hours last night, and around 2 today, to figure this out. I've been searching in the forum, the manual, websites and checking other games. Unfortantly, none of them seem to solve my problem:

I want the background(640x200) to scroll from the right side to the left. Whitout the character(I've hidden him), while it displays text in the centre. I also need it to scroll slow.

Is there any way to solve this?

Thanks!

"With the Nicosphere 3000 you can enjoy the smoking freedom of yesterday with the smoking technology of tomorrow"


The breath-taking design of the Nicosphere 3000 signals a breakthrough for smokers of all ages. Using the latest Nicological technology, the Nicosphere 3000 offers a discreet smoking environment for its user. The system has six smoking programmes, all designed to fit your busy lifestyle and has been ergonomically designed to fit either the male or female torso. Unlike other systems, there's no need to envelop your whole body; the Nicosphere helmet simply covers your head. Excess smoke is then pumped to a small back pack where it can be easily disposed of. Most importantly, the Nicosphere 3000 really works!

If you've seen this before, I'm sorry. And I seriously hope this is a joke.Ã, 

This is the close up of an teacher I made in paint. I've already made the talking animation, but I wanna know if there is any way to improve it before I continue. If it's perfect/have some errors that I'll correct, I will post the animation later. Thanks!

[StartCutscene (1);]

Right, I'm gonna try to make this as short as possible:

I'm gonna make a intro cutscene with the hero on the floor, sleeping. So, therefore I need to aware AGS that it's a start of a cutscene, putting the StartCutscene (1); action there. Next, I remove the GUI's, using the GUIOff (0); and GUIOff (2); actions. After that, I start the sleeping animation:

Code: ags

SetCharacterView(EGO,5);
AnimateCharacterEx(EGO, 0, 12, 5, 0, 0);

I test the game, but when the scene start, I can in about 1 second see the GUI, and that EGO stands(Front walking animation first frame). Is there any way to make this go away?  

Just in case someone didn't understand, here's the cutscene(I removed the text so it wouldn't spoil the storyline for later):

(ALT+F4 to close it)

EDIT: While I'm at it: The background seems to f*ck up sometimes. Any reason for that? The relative size is 320x200 even the game is 640x400. If that's the problem, is there any way to change it?

Well! Turns out I have been using an old version of AGS all the time! Anyway, this means i need to change all the background and create the game in 640x400 and I've JUST finished the first background. Behold:



I don't really liked the way it turned out. Too much space. Any suggestion on what i can fill the room up with(I really wanna replace the dart board with something, but NO PICTURES!), or is it fine?

(Hey, anyone noticed that the speakers reminds hell of alot about those in DOTT? I just discovered.)

Alright, I've been playing a few old lucasarts classics, and I've discovered a few errors. Roll Tape!


In Day of the Tentacle, when you try to explain to Edna that she must have confused you with someone else...

... Bernard turns into Saddam Hussein.


Monkey Island is fun, but if you walk towards the storekeeper...

... Guybrush turns into a trout shooting death machine!!


Sam and Max are two happy friends. But if you walk out of the screen...

... Sam lights into a fire!!!


If you try to walk towards the stone pedestal in Indiana Jones...

... THE WORLD EXPLODES!!!!



Thank you.

Right, I've been using the last HOUR on trying to figure out something that should be a easy code. I want that GUI 3 (MENU) to show up when you press ESC. I've tried

Code: ags

if (keycode=27) GUIOn(3);

,

Code: ags

if (keycode == 27) { GUIOn(3);

,

Code: ags

on_key_press (int keycode 27) GUIOn(3);

,

Code: ags

on_key_press (int 27) GUIOn(3);

,

Code: ags

on_key_press (27) GUIOn(3);

and I tried to combine these in all kinds of various way, but everything i try to test the game, it comes error messages. Usally something like

Expected ;

,

*somethings wrong* keycode

and so on. Anybody know this code correctly?

God, I feel so stupid.  

Right, I've been snooking around in the technical archive a bit, and i came over this toturial: http://www.digitalmindstudio.ch/script.php?id=4&langue=en

Yeah, that seemed alright. But i wanted to create the inventory at the bottom of the screen, so i had to do some changes. Still, when i try to pick up an object, it won't go to the inventory box. There is probably some n00bish solution on this, since i'm such a crappy coder. This is the script i used:

Code: ags

  if (interface == 2) {
    if   ( button == 1 )     {   //"Use" button
      SetCursorMode ( 3 ) ;
      SetMouseCursor ( 2 ) ;
    }   else
    if  ( button == 4 )   {   //"Up" arrow
      if  ( game.top_inv_item > 0 ) 
        game.top_inv_item = game.top_inv_item - game.items_per_line;       
    }  else
    if  ( button == 5 )   {   //"Down" arrow
      if  ( game.top_inv_item < game.num_inv_items - game.num_inv_displayed ) 
        game.top_inv_item = game.top_inv_item + game.items_per_line;          
    } 

  }  // end if interface 2 

I havn't fixed the up and down buttons yet, wich should be left and right buttons. I need to get the inventory to work first, so i can be sure it works.

You can download my GUI here:

Here we are. 2 fresh new backgrounds.




Well, this is Wayne's apartment. I will make more rooms to it later(Kitchen, toilet etc.) But i wanna know what you think of it now. Is it good? Bad? Any suggestions? Bad colours?

Thanks.

Well, seeing there's a time since i've been working on AGS, and i have somewhat improved my artwork, I also changed the mainperson in a new and improved game.

That sure sounded like a sale pitch.

Anyway, here's the new and old Wayne. So? Any better? Room for improvements?




Thanks.

I just used the last few hours on this library in MS paint. I think it turned out pretty good, but i wanna know what you guys/guyettes think. Is there something you don't like, is there more i can add, and stuff like that. Here's Step-By-Step how i made it:



(I know .JPG and .GIF looks ugly, but use your imagination and pretend is .BMP)
Right, here i just started out the shape. Green walls, wooden floor, and a door.



Here i added some bookshelfes(or whatever). But still, i forgot to buy books.



Just a rug, so it wont seem so empty and alone.  :'(



At last, the books! Have you ever tried drawing books from diffrent angels than front? It takes time!


And now, to finish; Forground.

There we are. I wasent too picky on the perspective, since i want it to be more cartoonish.

So, any C&C? God, it feels good to come back to AGS again.

I cant fix it so the thing next to the inventory button shows the last item you used... Does anybody know this?  

Thanks,
-Adrian

Does anybody know how you remove a object from another room than you are in? Like, if you are in room 13, and then you press a button or whatever, then object 0 in room 15 will be removed.


Thanks,
-Adrian

Finally, after now gettin' ADSL i can publish this long-time demo on the net!

It's about a guy, someone have hamsternapped his hamster. And not just anyone; Its the evil doctor Pete. And he aint just any doctor. He is a stupid one, and aint really a real doctor. More will be spoiled in the full game.  

download(hope works):

edit: ops, forgot to mention: Music by Peter Rocker AKA archangel.

tip: Interact with diffrent objects more than once.
