I like how much you must hate me entirely based on my voice seeing as I was born in the southern part of West Germany (yes I know that country no longer formally exists, but I was born there!!!) and have lived the majority of my life in southern Texas.

Oh boy, oh boy... I'm glad I didn't have to listen to you yet...

Just kidding 

Well, I'm not from the UK but one thing I dislike is the southern/texan accent, just like I dislike the southern german accents.

Is it universal that southern accents suck? Cause the South Swedish accent sound horrible as well... 

Maybe.

I've often been to Sweden, but always to the very south (Småland that is), so I only experienced that accent. Then again, I don't even understand a word...

I actually remember hearing my old teacher way back in high school, would tell us that Americans would stitch a Canadian flag to their backpacks and whatnot just so they could be treated with respect when traveling over seas.  I wonder if that is true.

I heard that too. And I know a Simpsons episode where Lisa does the exact same thing, while Homer is waving a US flag, telling everybody not to mess with America. Ah, it was that funny episode where the Simpsons went to England and Tony Blair had a funny appearance at the airport.

I was once asked by an American if England was part of London or if they were separate states.
That kind of ignorance annoys us a great deal since it belittles us as not important.

Yeah, just watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJuNgBkloFE

(admitted: The reporter just picked out some of the most incredible nutcases and you could do such a survey in any country)

Its just a culture that isnt very compatible with european thinking.

Nah, they are just still young and can't overcome puberty, in fact, they're children from Great Britain.

Shame on you, Dual, for not asking about the blue cup. Fortunately I found another interview containing that question, though it wasn't what I expected (Chris getting the idea for AGS while drinking coffee out of a blue cup).

He wants to measure the mouse movement, the mouse coordinates don't suffice for that.

Got beaten by Matti. Revenge is sweet, eh?

Indeed 

Eezee:

// pick up gun:

int bullets=6;

// use gun:

if(bullets>0){
  bullets--;
  //shooting script
}

Yeah, thanks for sharing. It was indeed quite interesting.

If you ask when the next version is coming out, you will be slapped silly with a moist trout.

At the moment for example, I'm very busy with my real life and haven't had a chance to do any work on AGS for a few weeks now. So bugs get reported and start stacking up but I don't have time to fix them. And then of course the list of things to fix is quite daunting when I finally do have some spare time!

Edit: Damn you, monkey.

If you make the glass an object, you can set the object.Transparency. Or, if you game is in 32-bit you can set the transparency in your graphics program (if it's capable of it).

Well, that was one enlightening interview 

Thanks, CJ, for using your rare spare time to improve AGS. Oh, and thank god you didn't become a whale tamer..

1. The forum search brings up several threads about drag and drop programming. You should take a look at these.

2. SaveScreenShot (string filename) is what you're looking for.

What should there be left to do? Give it to people by uploading it (the compiled folder)!

Here's the games main page and at the very bottom of it is a link to add your own games to the database.

Also, you should probably post it in the Completed Game Announcement forum so people get to know about it.

There are many upload sites like Megaupload or Webfilehost. Make sure you compiled your game once it's ready and that you disabled the debug mode.

Ah, beaten by Khris. Whatever.

I gave the rodent to rufus, but in spite of that i can´t walk behind the fence. ??

I just had the same problem. Simply right-click the fence.

AGS - Not to be confused with the heating system Annualized Geo-Solar.

Hi I don't know if this is the correct place to put this question. if not please tell me where to put it?

It's almost the right place. 

In this very forum, there's a sticky thread called "Recruit A Team - need help with you game?" which is exactly where you should post your request. Good luck.

Hahaha.

Well, I'd prefer the game the Flanders boys were playing in a Simpsons episode where you have to shoot bibles at non-christians. Would be more fun I guess.

Why don't you use one single object instead of making one disappear and another appear? Then you could insert an if-clause to check the object's view and show the text accordingly.

Other than that, Object.MergeIntoBackground() will disable an object permanently.

This looks and sounds cool, Abstauber. Gonna try it out within the next days and report back.

Overall, it's okay I think, but the option screen is a little hard on the eyes. The white font on the light blue background isn't a very good choice imo. I'd play around with the colors a bit.

Haven't tried it either, but this could be of interest for you.
