no points just a different

It was just an idea, as I mentioned before having invisible "dummy" characters and creating a new view would both also do the trick, just depends on how you wanna go about it.

My brand new gaming laptop has this issue too.

1 point, other words get

so doing the alphabet is not gonna help.

Like Morgan's some words get

I ate an apple.

Code: ags

  ViewFrame *currentFrame = Game.GetViewFrame(cEgo.View, cEgo.Loop, cEgo.Frame);
  ViewFrame *firstFrame = Game.GetViewFrame(cEgo.View, cEgo.Loop, 0);
  firstFrame.Graphic = currentFrame.Graphic;
  cEgo.SayBackground("Hello Hello Hello Hello Hello Hello Hello Hello Hello Hello Hello ");

Here are a few lines of script that could solve this problem, of course you'd need to re-set the first frame before you started animating again.

I'm not experienced with AGS but it doesn't seem like you can do it without switching views, unless you want to go the route of having invisible characters and write a custom function.

After experimenting with this I have learned the following about Y position:

1) It is based on the height of the 1st frame of the view
2) It will re-calculate when you switch views, but not during animations.

Hope that helps!

If you can contact an original game author then it never hurts to get in touch with them, although given the amount of time that's passed it's not always possible to establish contact.  Also, there's no guarantee that the game files have been kept for a recompile.

As for Scorpiorus' fix for Nightwatch- I've checked it out and the game keeps crashing back to dosbox every time I try to go south from the hospital exterior screen with an error message.  If someone else could check this out and see if the game crashes in the same place that would be helpful to know.

It doesn't crash for me there. As far as maintaining contact, unless you guys have some sort of contact info I'm not aware of, I don't think it will be possible unless they stumble on this thread.

sometimes the word is a noun other times it is a verb?

Yes, that is correct!

Full solution: 1 point for every word that could either be a noun or a verb in American English.

Sorry if this one was too hard, it seemed that everyone lost interest so I kind of needed to hint.
