Forget about KOF91. What you really need is Fighter Maker 95 (Fighter Tsukuru 95). But it's helluva hard to find.

Huh. Not very funny, but I admire people who do absolutely unneeded things (like myself) and really fine sound quality in this one. AGS TV-stuff was absolutely undecodable by my ears, because it was mostly made of distoring sounds, weird voice and cracks.

Only thing to criticize about is textures, they're too grainy and hurt eyes. Try something smoother.
Also, you could use more dynamic lights.

I really don't understand what you mean by all that, but I think that more nesting would give better ovelook, something like that:

if ((player.inv[1] == 0)
{
if (GetGlobalInt(TalkToJohn) == 1))
Ã,  DisplaySpeech(MARY, "Sure, I have the book, but it's going to cost you fifty bucks.");
else
Ã,  DisplaySpeech(MARY, "Hi, there.");
}
else
{
if (GetGlobalInt(TalkToJohn) == 1))

... and so on

Note that you don't have to use brackets if if condition leads to only one thing/function/whatever to accomplish

Yes, Ginny, that's a damn fine point. Now I remember having same problem once too. C-Media or Xear3D mixers lets you choose between 2,4 and 6 channels. setting them to 2 channels solved mic problem, assigning one port to microphone! Microphone +20db boost can also be selected there.

Onboard sound cards suck, they're like, this big |Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, | and they'll have sound written on them or something.

Yes! Yes! I have AC97' compatible card mounted and It's actually not compatible with anything!

- On windows 98, DirectShow fails

Some games produce double voice, like same sound plays TWICE (Battle realms, Interstate 82', etc), It's damn annoying (Yes, siYes, Sir! On my waOn my way, sir! We're undeWe're under attack!) Argh!

- On windows ME, DirectSound Acceleration fails and AGS games come with silence, unless I set default sound device to Wave mapper.
Double voice here too.

- On Windows XP, It does some sound, but no DOS game is able to produce any sound.
Doublevoice games won't start at all.

- Mic cracks and fizzles all the time. There's just some heavenly days where everything works. It's totally random.

I think I'll try shbaz' hammer-chip-nail-technique.

As WinXP worked most well with this shitty onboard chip, I'd suggest OSC to try a Windows change.

Check under control panel > multimedia if you can use microphone boost. If so, turn it on! Some cards make mic silent when it's not boosted.
Check under volume controls/advanced/recording and check microphone there. Then try to alter it's volume.

Here.


I didn't manage to figure out how to measure myself with my feet, we have measure tapes for this here...Ã, 

Actually we use METRIC system, and I'm too lazy to find out how much 1.78 meters is in feet.

I hate impossibility to spell "shbazjinkens" and people married to burned CD of Blender.

I was referring to...

I'm jealous of ReleasetheFrogs, Chris Remo, Steve because he has a bigger penis than me, Tim Schafer... so, no. I'm a pretty jealous person, I guess. Jealous and obsessive.

...that.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about or what you just said, shbaz, and somehow I think I don't want to know

*ahem*
Some of people here forgot to take their medicine.
Yufster, why don't you start a web page titled as "I didn't get a Wacom!".
I feel a bit sorry now calling you spoiled brat, but really...

What does rules say about this forum? "... not your soap-box"
Or just go to your mom and explain WHOLE story.
Tell her how well do you know that you're supposed to be happy and how hard is to be one. She'll understand.

And what's all that crap with genitals? Jesus! Sick!

Digital camera? Yufster, you're just a spoiled brat. I'd kill for getting one. And even more for a video camera.

Step 1: Use story with pen and paper
(if you don't write story down, you'll lose it. Just trust me)

Step 2: Make game playable from start of making to end. I mean that game should be playable all the time, this includes during development. If you just think that you're going to draw bg-s only for next few weeks, you'll never get to a making a game itsself.

So, make 2 rooms, put objects there, inventory items, characters and so on. Then go with next 2 rooms. And so on. This guarantees that whenever you'll run out of will(power), you already have at least something done, and you can cut it shorter or redo it at least to a MAGS game.

Nobody can't play just a bunch of BG-s or sprites/sounds/script. But they can play a game, even if it's short one.

That's my way to get something done. Maybe It'll work for you.

Ahh, let's give Yufster some other good tutorials then.

Well, Remco's bg has caused various questions about his texturing, some members thought they were photos, some just liked them. So I made a new tutorial to share the method with other AGSers too. Just check the tut out and tell me if I missed something or what do you think about it at all. C&C as we call it!

Ah. So the wife has been murdered? I thought she just died.

Hm. Forgive to murderers? I know how *I would* do it: [muahaha]Old guy breaks murderer's legs, throws him off the roof, the shoots both shoulders. And then, while holding Minigun at his head, says: "Okay, I'm better than you. Go."
And laughs, because murderer can't even crawl with broken legs and shot arms. Well, got a bit carried away   [/muahaha]

This all really sounds... interesting. All this emotion stuff and so. I'm looking forward to hear more about your game. Screen looks good too,Ã,  hope you can keep the style through the game. Maybe even design very *original* GUI, some games just get a lot better because interesting inteface... And this one surely needs something apart from what we call "typical" in most adventure games. Well, emotion meter is already part of it. Maybe draw some angels around game screen like there was in game "Settlers 2" or something? Just wondering, this plot made me think and hit my creative cell of brain...

In any aspect, he might want to show some of his work first to get attention and remain honest.

Right. Nobody's against an AGS game. Especially cool one. So, mr. Patousek, don't be afraid to post more of your idea and show what you've got. I'm sure you'll get the help you need, too. And more trust from AGSers.

Awwww... !
Now it sounds like that after deep, exiting intro, absolutely doomed old man just starts to sing, dance and pick flowers. I'm off to play Max Payne!
Bah!Ã, 

Stick to MIDI. It's kinda more fluid and flowing.

Bah.

So there's no problem then!
