Please read the readme!.txt, before usage. Please tell me, if it's of any use for you guys?! I'm planning on releasing more handy stuff in the future, so keep an eye on http://www.solidussoft.tk (that reminds me of the fact that the site needs an update )

[Prologue]

I started with AGS in May this year, and in June I started with Sam&Moos. And due to being very lazy, I guess... the demo, is getting released now in November. Well... this is my second game, because I also made Puddy Penguin.

Prologue
Sam & Moos  are brother and sister, and they are for a few days at the house of grandpa. A few months ago, when they also went to grandpa, he told them a story, about a treasure in the house, that is over 300 years old. The treasure belonged to Hugo, a grand, grand, grand, grand, grand, grand, grandpa of Sam & Moos, and he smuggled it during the invasion on earth.
Sam wants to find it, and is going to search the house until he finds the treasure!

Final word
I haven't yet beta-tested the game, so it could be possible that there are bugs in the game. If you find one, please report me, and also PLEASE tell me what you think of the game, because I think I need to hear that. I'm a bit doubting about the whole concept, if it's OK enough.
PS : The menu when the game starts does not work yet, just click anywhere with the mousebutton!

Well have fun playing the game!

[function character2_b() { // script for character2: Use inventory on character if (character[getplayercharacter()].activeinv == 8) {SetGlobalInt(5,GetGlobalInt(5)+1);SetGlobalInt(4,1);DisplayMessage(63);LoseInventory(8) }]

What does that mean??  When I try to save the game, it gives an error, and says, "Nested functions not supported".

It gives an error about the global script. here is the part that gives an error.

function character2_b() {
 // script for character2: Use inventory on character
 if (character[getplayercharacter()].activeinv == 8) {
SetGlobalInt(5,GetGlobalInt(5)+1);
SetGlobalInt(4,1);
DisplayMessage(63);
LoseInventory(8)
 
}

Please help me!

I want to add a value of 1 to a certain global value within dialog and outside does this work?

within dialog :

set-globalint 1 +1

outside dialog :

setglobalint (1, +=1);


I just need to check, so can you tell me if this will work?

Hi there. I can't really consider myself very good at music at the moment, but I'm learning, and I think that's the most important thing.

I started on making the main theme for my big project Narnia Adventure, and I made untill now 45 seconds of the song. I'm happy with the result until now, but I can't figure out, what to add to it. Can someone give me some advice on improving on this midi, and how to lenghten it more?

I hope you like it here is the midi :

I'm playing an text-based game, in wich I need people to click on a link, and I wanted to ask you, if you want to click on this link, and then OK?

[edit link removed]

You would really make me happy with that!

Ok... I've done some research for a friend of mine, on removing all those annoying ads, that keep popping up, and those yes/no popups to install adware.

You might already know this, but just for the once that don't i'm sharing this info.

The first thing you should do is downloading and installing the application Ad-Aware by Lavasoft. Download it here : http://lavasoft.element5.com/support/download/
Install it, and run a deep scan on your harddrive, to remove all adware on your pc.

Second you should protect your pc against the adware so it won't come back. To do this there is the great program SpywareBlaster. This program blocks your pc against all known adware, so you can freely use internet without those thousands of popups. You can find Spywareblaster here : http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
Install the program and check all the items of the list shown in the program, and then click the button to protect your pc from them.

Now you are free from adware! Though it is a good idea to check for updates sometimes, because theres also coming new adware to the web. I hope this is useful for some of you.

For this months MAGS competition, I'm making a game based on the book by C.S. Lewis "The lion, witch and the wardrobe".

The full title of the game is "Narnia Adventure Part 1 - The Wardrobe".
I will make part 1 for the mags-competition, and going to release more parts after that, because I can't make a game with over 100 rooms in one month :p

Plot/Story :
Because of the second worldwar, the four children, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, stay at the mansion of their grandpa, that is professor. It's raining outside, and the children decide to explore the huge house. They walk through several rooms, and one of the rooms they take a visit, is an almost empty room, with only one old wardrobe in it. They leave the room, and Lucy, the youngest of the four, stays behind, because of her curiousity what's inside the wardrobe. She opens the doors, and there won't come an end to the wardrobe, and she thinks it must be a huge wardrobe! She walks on, untill she finds something soft and cold underneath her feat!...

Game Specs :

320x200 16bit
+- 12 rooms (on paper it's twelve, but I might make changes)
6 characters atleast, with walking animations
detailed and moody backgrounds.
I try to make challenging puzzles!
Background music (I only need to compose them still, but I'm just starting, so i have the time)
Uses Snow/Rain plugin

Screenshot(s) :

the room with the wardrobe



I hope to soon show you the character(s) and some more screenies, but for this saturday, I done enough, and it's midnight, so I'm going to bed. Tomorrow I'll continue So whadda you think?  

Does this character look any good to you? This is the first time I'm going to try drawing and animating a human(s), and I need some help from people that can draw better, to point me to some things. Note that I coloured it just for test, so it's without any fancy detail, or shadows.

How do I open the safe. I don't hear sounds while pressing on the right-arrow, but i hear ticking on the left. I just can't find out how. Has it got something to do with that strange code in the notebook? L4341?

I'm making as my intro some fullscreen 320x200 pictures, wich will be a cartoon to see. I want to show it like this. When you do "new game", then picture #1 must show up. When user clicks picture #2 shows ... and so on, untill last picture and then the game starts. Do I need to make a new room for every picture, or is there an better/easier way?

After almost 4 years, of quitting pianolessions, I decided to start again. I don't want to waste all the money my parents put into the lessions, so now I'm going to pay for them myself, and start learning again!

I'm pretty happy about this decision of myself, and I'm even kinda proud, because this means I just created another goal in life for myself, wich is to play piano real good. So that means there is less time, for the computer, wich is good in my case, because I'm too much time behind the pc.

How do you feel about this. Do you also sit too much behind the pc, and has this been effecting other things in life, like your social life, music lessons, sports... things like that. I hear of alot of people that they do fun sports and music untill they are about 13, 14 years.. and they just get lazy, like I became. Is this any familiar?

I was wondering if the by m0ds announced event still is going to be done, and if there is any progress. I haven't heard from it for some time, and I'm really interested in it, and I considered going to it.

I'm not that big of a drawing artist, but I'm learning, and after about 10 hours of trying and trying and trying I drawed this at paper.

http://minimi.spijbelaars.com/scanmrboots.JPG

I scanned it, and it took me several hours to colour it, because of all the white dots, and I did my best to remove the most, and correct some lines. I think this is my best character I have ever made untill now, but I need some of you people to critisize it, so I can improve more. here it is :

I saved in some games the game, in a resolution of 640x400 in a window.
And then some time after that, I runned the game in the 320x200 resolution full screen, and tried to load the game, but the game crashed, with the error "AGS could not load the saved game, because it was stored in an inproper resolution".

Could this be a bug, or do you already know of it. I tried it in some more games, and it gave the same error.

I've just scanned my second character. I made this one, about a week ago during school in class. I was (as usual) bored, and started drawing the teacher... I scanned it with my new scanner, and coloured it with photoshop. I tried to fix some things, but I'm not very much of a good artist, so some things might be wrong. Please tell me how to improve. I want to learn to draw better than this... so critics are always welcome!

Yeehaa! I bought today an HP Scanjet 3500c , and now I can finally scan my art. I did just very quickly one test... and coloured it very quickly abit in photoshop... It's bad... but atleast I have one, and can start drawing backgrounds for games

Monday next week, I'm buying a scanner, never had one before, and I was wondering, is it better to draw my drawing with pencil, or fineliner? Ohw, and another question. I'm using naturefriendly paper, that is grey, mostly... does that have any influence on the scanning quality? Btw.. most of my work are just sketches that need to be coloured in like photoshop.

One of my new games im working on is Lego Adventure, and here is a test screenshot of it. I want to ask you if you like this style?

Ok, I talked too much to the bots, and in the middle of the night I was a real arse at the chat, but can you plz unban me, cause i wont talk to bots anymore and be an arse.
