What i'm planning to do is to write a simple text conversion tool in which you write the words in your local langauge -ie: Arabic, Hebrew - and then it translates them into thier english equvielnt, then you can easily copy and paste the outcome -which is something like 'akuo'- into the ags editor.

Heh, wouldn’t it be easier to use an Arabic TTF?

I don't know. I don't have contact with him.

1. An artist of the Zak McKracken and the Alien Rockstars-Project.
2. Yup.
3. He used AVIs for cutscenes.

Goya released this short game a while ago, but didn't promote it much. So if German isn't a problem for you and you are a fan of Igors' artwork-style, you should check out this funny, "little" adventure.

While most in-game text is translated automatically, there are a few instances when this is not possible. These are when a text script uses functions like StrCat to build up a string, or StrComp to check some user input. In these cases, you can use the GetTranslation function to make it work.

@ Michael

I suggest you to use the collage-technique that Tierra used for KQ1VGA & KQ2VGA. That way the backgrounds are easier to make. Use the SCI Decoder to extract backgrounds from KQ5, KQ6 or Robin Hood and use them as raw material. Here  are some examples.

in fact I've been playing around with the thought of making a GK game for a long time.

What are you waiting for?

Funny Idea! Good luck with the project!  

I Love You Man!  

if you like it, tell me and i'll put it in the templates.

I like it very much.  

Btw.: I think we could use a GUI for Restart.

How can I change manually (by scripting) the extensions of a hotspot or an object, Proskrito?

…this templete oughta be a standard feature in AGS…

I agree. Well done, Proskrito!

Posting textures? The FOA-screenshots are my "textures".
Btw.: Miez is the FOA-king.  

...and the over-all impression is just a bit too newbish, which makes me doubt it really fits on the "full length game" category

That's true. Twelve rooms isn't very much for that category.

…but it was awful.

I know your pain m0ds… Click

I thought there was an entirely German speaking AGS forum...

Yes, there is one. We use it to discuss our secret world conquest plans.

There is no need to agitate, Nicholas. Many Germans understand English, but that doesn't mean they are willing to watch a movie in English language. Let's face the facts â€" 80 % of the German adventure-fans will not play a fan-adventure if it's not translated and there are more fans of that genre in Germany, than in any other European country. Believe me.   So SimSaws offer makes sense. Especially LucasArts-style-games are very popular here. Or did you know that big fan-projects like Fate of Atlantis 2 or Zak McKracken and the Alien Rockstars were founded by Germans? Language is not only a way of communication - it's also a kind of art.

PS.: The former translator of LucasArts, Boris Schneider, became something like a half-god in Germany…

I'm interested in games which have got a German translation files.

Pleurghburg: Dark Ages, King's Quest I VGA 3.0 (not released yet), Zak2 and The Phantom Inheritance are multilingual. Indiana Jones & The Fountain of Youth will be translated too, I think.

YOU ARE MY HERO!

Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you.  

Call me stupid, but with (GetHotspotAt(mouse.x,mouse.y)==DoorHotspotNumber) the interaction always happens when the cursor moves over the hotspot. But I want to click at the hotspot. You understand me?
