ARGH!!! This is really pissing me off!!!

I have idle characters in every single room, and they all animate fine when asked.

EXCEPT the NPC "master".

He has the same line set as everyone else in "before fade in":

character[MASTER].SetIdleView(62, -8);

Now I have set an interaction with him so when player looks at him, he plays a "quick animation". Which is view 83, loop 0, and speed 0.

Instead of playing animation, he just resets his idle view and the game plays that before releasing control.

WHY?!! The other characters in different rooms don't have this problem.

What the hell am I missing, with such a simple set of commands? It must be ME, I must be going mad.. 

EDIT: If I remove the idle view command from the script he will do the animation. Why are they conflicting? I have another character that has the same commands and is told to do a quick animation and he does it.

Oh yeah! I remember beta testing an early version of this! Will be interesting to see if I influenced the game at all!

Can you make it smaller? It would be better if I could see it all on one screen.

Might be better though!

Alright alright, I'll "view image"!

yeah I like where this is going, but despite what they said, it looks rather plain now with the plain grey backdrop!

Did someone just say something?

No?

*looks around*

My bad.

Referring to the post you last did:

The first image layout: I don't think this works at all...

The second image layout: Ah, now I like the layout of the boxes and text, but putting the splodges inside the frames really messes it up.

[10. The Flaming Lips - War of the Mystics]

Unless they have some kind of anti-fingerprint screen I don't know about.

*ManicMatt and Thomas VoàŸ become friends on icq*

Pantsworth: It's only right that pants and balls go together.

Dualnames: If you're a liar, how do I not know you are lying about being a liar? Uh..
Anyway the game is definetely freeware! Well Guybrush sounds a bit like a girl I suppose?   

Thanks Rui! Yeah I held back the itch to make a game until I had a concept I'd be really happy with!

I'm working full time now which will obviously delay the game's progress quite a bit, sob!

ooh, your custom GUI that you showed me, in effect!

I like the second screenshot the most!

You sure like the dark, don't you Esper?  Although, it's a bit TOO dark!

"Neo York"! Nice! 

Says you! I could fill that 30gig up!  8)

Girly masculine wrestler ahoy! (With a motorbike helmet on)

*Doesn't quite get what Andail is saying..*

The third picture. Ditch the yellow blob behind it, as it obstructs the image - for a moment I thought it was another ping pong racket or something.

Very nice otherwise.

Gives me an impression of an indie film?

If you want to take nice pictures, get a digital camera, not a new phone

I have my reasons.

I want a new phone, as my once top of the range phone is old hat now, and the camera quality is crap. I also want a new mp3 player, as mine is only 256mb. (Intentionally got that as at the time it was possible to get nicked where I worked so I didn't want to buy an expensive one)

So you'd think this was ideal for me!

However, I never want an ipod simply because of all that copy protection crap! I like the fact I can stick my current mp3 player in any USB port and transfer the songs over.

And WHITE headphones, what are you people thinking.. "Hey! I have white headphones, so I probably have an ipod, come and rob me!"

Yes, I said headphones. No, I don't care.

Will Lara Croft make a guest appearance?

I like murder mystery stuff!

Not bad at all Oz! And proving how well an album cover can convey the music! I deliberetly picked some artists people probably wouldn't know.. mostly.

Anyone are psychedelic metal, so you weren't far off!

GoodShirt are An Australian indie band sounding a bit like brit pop!

And Matt Barker is me. And that album was indeed electro/synth/industrial! Yay!

So.. right now the Jekyl logo suggests metal/emo music more than anything. Even the band's name isn't punk or ska-ish in the slightest.    That is my blunt and honest opinion.

Well, second day on my job as Assistant Manager for a games shop (Oh that feels good to say that), and I'm sleepy! I'd love to work on my game right now, but I'm not sure if my tired brain is up to it! Yesterday I just played Resident Evil 4 after work...

Heh, you did the same thing I did in Secrets, just shrink the legs!

Take a look at this crouch pose, the jacket makes it harder to see, sorry about that.



As I said, I'd taken a photo of myself crouching, as a reference.

Now if you make a drawing of your sprite fully crouched using a photo or this sprite as a reference, if you wish (if you think it's any good), and then try animating the frames inbetween! So his head gets more straight, and his legs get straighter. Doing it at a slight angle instead of full on foward helps too, I reckon.

Oh I know how to do "run-script 3" and all that, thats why I end up having to script so often, 'cos of dialogs!

Such ingenuity Baron!

Either way sounds like too much fuss for two people to say "shut up!!" at the same time.  :

Nevermind guys, thanks! Just one person will shout it now.

I was struggling just to draw crouching from that angle, so I got someone to take a photo of me in that pose. Now, what if you got someone to take a few photos of you slowly moving into crouching?

Or.. maybe someone else can just show you on the net....
