Hi

As AGS is very nice for adventure games and haven't good performance for other genres is any way for connect between two exe from AGS and another engine?
Indeed i need to AGS for part 1 of my game and other engine for continue game

let me clear explain:
Your suppose we have 2 exe from 2 different engine:
1) Is it possible when we finish first exe it switching to second exe?
2) second exe don't run automatically before we complete first exe.I think we need write an ini file for write on.is it possible too?

Or is here any program for leading to exe?

appreciate for any suggestion

Please introduce to me a engine very similar to AGS coding and interface for other genre games.in my opinion XNA is similar as interface but its pretty hard and its only framework too.

There is a new adventure engine under construction :

I saw a special part in this engine for better focus on story.It is 'Scenario Editor'.I think it will be very useful for add to AGS editor.any suggestion?

Hi

Is it possible?Run player in scene(change view) with DOUBLE CLICK.!!!

Ethanon is a free 2D game engine focused on the recent video cards for hardware acceleration and shader effects. EE is best suitable for 2D games with a top-down view, but it can also be used to develop other styles, such as side scrollers and shoot'em up games. The main goal of this engine is to provide high-quality lighting, shadow and particle effects with an easy to use visual interface and a simple and direct scripting system.

EE is entirely based on 2D sprites. It uses pixel shaders to perform the normal map based lighting and supports any kind of map construction (e.g.: isometric, orthogonal or hexagonal) because it's based on arbitrarily positioned entities instead of fixed tiles.

To control the game flow and handle its events, Ethanon Engine uses AngelScript for scripts, which brings a familiar C++ syntax to the code. The integration with the scripting language is pretty simple and easy to understand. Many features are included in the scripting system, such as full entity manipulation, save and load games with one instruction, video playback support, and more.

This topic is questions for solve  problems AGS platform games :
OK.
discussion for a platform game with AGS:
for a platform multi room(no scroller).how we can detect between frames.for instance when player do near to end of screen... and will be jump.and now player appear to next room with CONTINUE JUMP pass.
in 1213 games series, you can not  jump when player is near end of screen(left or right). can't  you believe? try 1213 games from Yahtzee:

http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/Newsite/Games.aspx/Detail/664/1213_Episode_1

maybe is a bug in this game(AFAIK)

but  instead,gravity structures is very nice.

Question 1: how we can detect player between frames?(read up).is it possible?(I dont want scrolling)
Question 2:how we can make gravity that player dead from high plat falling to floor ?
Question 3:grab ledge.and climb up!!!!

I am beginner to script and programming.but powerfull to 2D animation and make sprites(its my job:Director animation & main animator(2d only))

sorry for bad english
I have many questions again.but step by step.

thanks

Hi
I have a strange problem.when i play some games,cpu works between 99%- 100%(show to task manager).and strart  CPU fan to run.and I close application for safety.(I have laptop).this happen for some games.not all.(some ags games(with direct draw even)-some flash games-or any other short games).I check for direct x version but this happen on flash games even.I use direct x 9.0c .because can not use higher for old graphic card.

Why?

my system is:
laptop
pentium IV 1.60 GHz
256 mb ram
64 mb ram graphic card
direct x 9.0c (can not use higher for old graphic card)

you can make any genre of 2D games with Multimedia Fusion or The games factory.
and now Export SWF(flash format) for your games.without learn actionscript(flash language)or entering a line of code:
