Why didn't I ever see this here before?! This is awesome looking.

*reconsiders her list*

FoY,
Buccaneer 2,
S&M2

is there somebody out there who actually ENJOYS his/her job?
because I never heard of anyone who did, serious!
I have 3 jobs at the moment and they all suck.
er but thats not the point, point isI'll mail you from time to time

Yes.

A whole bunch of the animators and artists in the world enjoy their job. All the people from Lucasarts prior around 1997 enjoyed their job immensely. Probably all the people at Double Fine enjoy their job. My brother enjoys his job in a computer firm. My uncle enjoys his work in ABC, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. My aunt enjoys her job in Vodaphone. My grandmother enjoys her job in a bakery, and my cousin enjoys her job waitressing while she's in college.

Maybe we're just a really unusually happy family, but I don't think that's it. When you're working in a place where you get on with people, that makes all the difference. And when you have plans for the future, and you don't plan to spend the rest of your life in that job anyway... that makes a bigger difference. Okay, my Grandmother runs the bakery, so she doesn't count. But my Cousin wants to open her own business after college. My Aunt already got her dream; she works in vodaphone and gets hella free stuff and parties. My brother eventually plans to start his own business. My uncle plans to take over the world, and I plan to become a programmer or lead artist on some computer project, somewhere in the world. Anywhere, so long as it's San Francisco and the Mice Population is thriving. I like mice.  

But seriously, I know you know what you wanna do. Don't worry about dickheads standing in your way of doing it. Quietly continue your job the way they want it done, and be looking for another job in the meanwhile. And remember; you're not working towards pleasing them, you're working towards YOUR dream.

(PS, can I be lead animator when you get your dream?)

I'd love this... but my microphone is crapido. Still, maybe I can get my hands on some facilities in school... hmmm...

Yup. I see 40 views. Only 29 of which work.

URL is.....

Now I come to think of it, I prolly should have included the midi files.... if it doesn't run, you'll need any ol midis called MUSIC14 and MUSIC3


Here's what you need to do to see BOTH problems:

First, the player start position is for testing purposes. Anyway, he's not supposed to start there. In the editor it also says to start in room 3, whereas that is room 2. The character view specified in the editor is not the same as the character view shown in the game. I can't edit anything from the game.

Press CTRL+X and go to room 21. Er, it will make sense, one day. Anyway, look at the star, and then use the stairs. Walk along that room and you'll hit the exact spot where the problem occurs.

Hang on, can you even play the game with only those files? Well, anyway...

I would, in fact, love that.

Do I just send the contents of the compiled folder, or do you need the other files? (Minus, obviously, AGS... I am not THAT stupid)

I created 10 new views and tried. Still not working. I also tried using view 40 and it didn't work. I used AGS v2.54 ....

... And now I made it worse, by downloading the latest version of AGS and loading my game with that, and now for some reason I can't change ANY settings with the editor. It seems to think they're changed in the editor... until I load the game, and it starts in the same place again and again, won't change the character view etc.,. It seems that I can't edit the game any longer.

AND I can't load it up in the OLD version that it worked on, because it refuses to load it as it was saved by the newer version. Ahhhh! Now I'm completely stuck. I feel dumb, ashamed and frustrated.

I'll have to wait til monday before I can even get back my backup files on the school computers. Ahhhhhh!

Why on earth won't V2.56 let me edit anything?!

I don't understand. Why wouldn't they want to cuddle you? Are they jealous?

Seriously though, get a new job. I'd much rather be happy in a job and get minimum wage, than get a lot of pay but be very unhappy. besides, when you're gone and they have difficulty finding anybody quite as good, they might regret treating you like a lower being.

Never saw this here....

Beyond Reality....

      ..........Halloween Day.

EDIT: This is supposing I can get AGS to believe me, that there really IS A VIEW 30.

This is totally, completely the wrong forum. This is a BEGINNERS HELP FORUM for AGS USERS.

That said...

Look up 'ScummVM' on Hotbot or google. That should make Zak McKracken work anyway.

This problem is probably so retardedly simple, but I can't figure it out. I've done it loads of times before. I'm probably tired, but now it's just getting on my nerves.

I have THIS:

SetObjectView(0,30);
AnimateObjectEx(0,1,6,0,0,0);


When the character walks over  Hotspot.

There is DEFINATELY a View 30, and DEFINATELY an Object Number 0.

Am I spelling Definitely wrong?

Anyway,

When I walk over the Hotspot, it boots me out of the game with an error message: "SetObjectView: Invalid View Number".

It is so DEFINITELY a view that it's not even funny. Also, the Loop Number is correct.

Is it Definitely, or Definately?

EDIT: It works with other view numbers...?

EDIT 2: Well, it works with all view numbers BELOW view 30, but doesn't work with a view number HIGHER than view 30....?

Oh see, everybody HERE gets a free version. It's just my sucker school friends that don't. I'd even give THEM free copies, except we are MADE do mini company, and I don't plan to sit down and painstakingly bead necklaces all weekend.

Okay now it has to be finished in four weeks, because of certain MINI COMPANIES in school... so...

We have to run Mini Companies in school, and since most people are making beaded bracelets, I figured I'd make a game. Seeing as I can. This also means I get to spend loads of school class time making it. So in about four weeks it'll be done. On the other hand, since I planned to sell it (Students will buy it merely because they've never seen it done before... SUCKERS) that means you don't get it for about three months. Free, obviously. I'm only selling it for mini-company in school.

But production time has TRIPLED! At least, it WILL have done, on Monday!!!

I picture the boss at the end of a level from a Duke-Dukem type game from 1990 or earlier.

I really like it

I was deeply inspired by a snickers bar, as you could probably tell.

Snake, check your email. I think I spelled, "Animosity" right!

Oh yes, well I did blatantly rip the idea off one of the various RON projects in fact, and killed the guy that was making it so nobody would ever know. Then I stole the graphics and music and altered it a tiny bit so nobody would notice it was really the LECHUCK theme. And then I gave it a different name. And right now, you know where the Christmas elves are?! They're in my basement!!! Ha ha ha!

Snake, I read it,loved it, and sent you an email with an attachment.

I'm now even more looking forward to this.

You mean like this?

See, I don't know ANYTHING about music, so I don't know what you're talking about.

But there is one part that needs a bit of fixing that I just realized.

Did that sentence make sense?

Also, I think I should introduce another, heavier, bassier instrument when the 'evil' bit kicks in... what do you think?

I hate you. I spend all week trying to make a dumb midi, and I think it's okay, and then you come along all la la la and you're all like, "Dude, check this out!" And I'm all like, "Man, why are you humilating me like this?" And everybody else is all like, "Wowwww" and you're all like, "Yeah!" And I'm all like, "Stop! Please! Don't! Stop!" And you're all like, "What, DON'T stop? Okay! I can use percussion! And you can't!" And I'm all like, "No, no, I can't hear you! I'm not listening!" And you're all like, "Well, everybody ELSE is!"

Why would you do a thing like that, petteri? Why?
