a. Study the SetDigitalMasterVolume script command, found under Multimedia functions. In conjunction with a while loop you should get this done...

b. Um... are you sure your game is hi-color? and... are you using which paint program? I have photoshop, and I usually just save the RGB image as bmp, and sometimes the colors get wierd...

This sounds interesting, indeed, I'll be waiting for screenshots to see the art Also, I think the name is a bit silly... something like Harry Welshman ? (Hm... was Morgan's father Harry? Yes, I think it was... or?)

You mean like

[run-script 1]

1.

In dialog script, when you want to, say, run script number 1, which usually is the first script to be run, when starting to use the dialog_request, just put:

run-script 1

in the dialog script. Then, in the Global Script, make a new function, dialog_request, and set it up with an if-statement to check which script is meant to be run, like:

function dialog_request (int xval) {

// first, the if to check which number was passed with run-script as the script number to be run.

if (xval == 1) { // if it was 1...
// ... run the script placed here
}

}

The board is a perspective view render of a 3d view

This, I think, means the bottom row is wider than the top row...

move character x to room x when score is x

Code: ags

if (game.score == X) character[CHARID].room == x

I was talking about my game... I have plot finishing in progress.... I'll play your game when I get my own laptop connected to the internet... at least... Which is next monday.

Make each vertical line one hotspot, then just check the mouse y cordinate to see on which horizontal line the mouse was clicked.

One way: Make the drawer an object, then, when the player uses the key on it, use AnimateObject to make it "open" and use a variable to check if it is open... like put int DrawerOpen; in the beginning of the room script, and when the drawer is opened, set the DrawerOpen variable to 1...

As for, both mine and Minimi's games for last month MAGS were our first...

Hmm... Meaning it must TAKE PLACE in apocalyptic world, not PRODUCE one?  : Oh, just need to put in a longer description... or a leaflet.... whatever...

There was a note about this in the Pleurghburg manual... Has this got somehing to do with the cordinate thingy? Like if in hi res character stands in y 253, which would be then 126 and a half in lo res, and AGS cannot put the character there?

Could we see the script, so we could say what's wrong?

People can surely suggest you programs to use, the only one I can now think of is Noteworthy Composer, but there are better ones out there... A midi music surely does fine for first games..... unless you need something certatin to it, like electric guitar.......

Just as a side note... this ain't ares belong 'ere...

Well, I must say, Freewebs is damn slow with downloads. I'm not going to tell you what I have uploaded there, but it took me an hour to download on my laptop, since I wanted it there, and couldn't use any other way to move it...

I was just wondering... since I haven't included a forum member yet, I thouht does using someone's avatar or part of it count? I guess does, but I mean like if someone has Snoopy in their avatar, and I put snoopy on the game? Or like CJ falling from the sky? "Oh me god! Look what you did! Our God! If he's got even a single hair cut you are going to suffer!"

OMG! The BOOK! Play by the Book!

Didn't need to afford....

Create GUI with label big enough, then place the GUI where you want it, make it Popup Modal and script:

function DisplayEx(int time, string text) {
SetLabelText(TXTGUI, labelnum, text);
GUIOn(TXTGUI);
WaitMouseKey(time);
GUIOff(TXTGUI);
}

That's a partial work-around...

The avi file need to be distributed separately with the exe, as intro.avi in the same folder as the exe is, as AVI's are not compiled into the exe.

[Global Script]

You need to go the the Global Script, and find a function called show_inventory_screen()


function show_inventory_window () {
 // This demonstrates both types of inventory window - the first part is how to
 // show the built-in inventory window, the second part uses the custom one.
 // Un-comment one section or the other below.
 
 // ** DEFAULT INVENTORY WINDOW
 InventoryScreen();
/*  
 // ** CUSTOM INVENTORY WINDOW
 GUIOn (INVENTORY);  
 // switch to the Use cursor (to select items with)
 SetCursorMode (MODE_USE);
 // But, override the appearance to look like the arrow
 SetMouseCursor (6);
*/
}


There you see an uncommented part, (commented are the ones with // in front of them, and commented parts are the ones between /* and */) with the line

InventoryScreen();

in it. You need to comment this, and uncomment the other part


function show_inventory_window () {
 // This demonstrates both types of inventory window - the first part is how to
 // show the built-in inventory window, the second part uses the custom one.
 // Un-comment one section or the other below.
 
 // ** DEFAULT INVENTORY WINDOW
//  InventoryScreen();
/*
 // ** CUSTOM INVENTORY WINDOW
 GUIOn (INVENTORY);  
 // switch to the Use cursor (to select items with)
 SetCursorMode (MODE_USE);
 // But, override the appearance to look like the arrow
 SetMouseCursor (6);
*/
}


This should do it.

I believe it's the 3rd... but not sure at all...
