I'm not saying don't have a forum.  But, I just don't want to have to weed through it myself.  I know other people agree & those people are welcome to get things from my server.  If not they can wait for a forum.  As for collecting it all, I've already done alot of that.

Who was it that said "98 posts in 11 days!?" I can't remember it was in irc heh.  Why do you think the number is so low? Gotta read old posts in between new posts.


EDIT:
Do you mean this page?

Not really what I would call a complete database, though some useful Solutions there.  I like that.

[Update:]

Hey Stryker, I have the file on my system but haven't added it into the Repository just yet.  I will though, and then you can change the link soon as I get it setup.

Also, you were right! My signature link is incomplete, I'll fix it. Thanks a ton!

Update:
Stryker, the link on my server is
http://www.eleycis.zapto.org/repository/guis/ODIS1.1.zip

Well it's hard to say because I can't seem to visualize having the character ontop of the background without actually seeing it.  Make a screenshot of it during gameplay and we'll see how it looks.  I really like what you've done with the beds by the way! That's excellent and the little glass on the table is also good.

Now that the door on the right is gone, it seems difficult to determine that there's a door there at all.  I'm not really sure if it's a big deal or not, just making the observation.

Wow.  I don't know about mapping QFG or anything like that, but I had to map games like Eye of the Beholder to hell & back.  Other than those kinds of games, I never wrote anything down.

...

Keiko: I feel your pain about animations... I read the tutorials & just got confused.  I animated one character, and it took forever! When I finally finished it wasn't that bad, but it wasn't that good either...

Pumaman: I know it's cuz I'm acting as a mirror for Tierra's game files.  It's not a problem even with the size of the files, but because of their recent magazine article/website ads etc...they've got tons of traffic coming in.  Unfortunately it's just killing my webserver at the moment.  Oh well, I have it fixed now.

Hey this is really neat! I've always liked the interface to Discworld, & I'm glad to see other people liked it too.  I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but you can bet I will in a few minutes.

Hey thanks Keiko My backgrounds are frustrating. What I'd really like to do is take a scene in my head & draw it.  I can't do that yet, everything is based off something else.  Really think it'd be better if I could avoid having to do that...but i dunno.

Yes arms are good! Heh, and the link is cool, but I don't think I get it yet.  Voice overs are no problem, but yah, sorta need to finish those arms first heh. ^^

Ok I have changed it slightly again.  What I did was assume that scripts included Modules & Functions etc...whatever that would be, I'm not very adept with AGS scripting(though it seems like c++ to me?). Then I took music & sounds and stuffed em together in Audio.  Added characters & sprites.  Then, I put everything in an alphabetical list.

Oh, and if you saw the example before I was done editting it, there will also be some extra layout pertaining to the items themselves & how you might do descriptions, download links, author homepages etc.....

Lemme know what ya think.

EDIT 09/11/03:
Ah forget the example, here's the real thing.
The AGS OpenSource Repository

Here is a bare example of what I mean:

Example

Of course this is just a plain example & the real deal would be large, fully searchable, organized & hosted on a very capable server.  I couldn't host such a beast but I'll probably do something less exciting.

Well, so far my album isn't going anywhere right now.  I've got about four songs that are getting close to being done, but it's just been really tough working on it by myself(as it is with all my projects).  Someday I will have to finish my album, and then maybe I'll put some guitars in your techno tune & add some large drums to it for fun. I don't usually edit other people's work, so I dunno but thanks for giving me permission.  ^^

Actually Vegas is pretty cool to visit, but living there sucked.  It's hot as hell, and then when it's rainy the whole damn place floods like a whiney baby & after that, you can't drive anywhere cuz everyone thinks it's Grand Theft Auto.  I swear, I hated living there soooo much.  ^^

Heh, an open-source database.  Yah I already planned on putting all of my own stuff in one, but wasn't sure how many other people would want to do that.  I know I can find quite a few things that are open-source & place them in it already(which I have).

However, if only the mods can post, that's not going to prevent the thirtieth thread from being buried & forgotten...  Something like this might do better on a webpage with a Type-Category-AtoZ style setup to it.

I was really confused about the angle until you said it was dead-on.  Now, when I look at it, I think it needs more room or something.  And you said he should be behind the wall, and I just don't see it....maybe if he WAS behind the wall I could figure it out.  Basically I think it looks really cool, especially your gui which I've not even gotten to in my game yet...I'm frightened a little of it. ^^

The gradients look fine, except I don't see a gradient inside the fireplace & maybe that's what you're talking about.  The pastes of the photos don't bother me one bit.  I like it & before you said anything I would not have been able to tell.  Now, maybe a more mature artist than me(only been at it a couple weeks or so) could tell...but I couldn't.   So you're really doing good with this one!

If I had to pick something to point out, it'd be the difference in the two candle/glass/whatever holders on top of the fireplace.  One is darker but there's nothing else different on the fireplace that I can see.  What I mean is, I don't see any other shadows.   Ok that's about it for now.

Right on! Heh, but it looks like his hair almost comes clear off for a second.  Maybe the lift goes too far, you could try shortening it, it's all up to you though.  The scrawnyness of his arms etc...I like that alot.  If he's supposed to be scrawny.  I dig that scrawny limbs style in the animation.

Yah yah, the app looks sweet, I want one! ^^

Wow Minimi, techno worlds are spinning in my brain right now....heh.  This is really good & I think you could even use this on a techno album with a little bit more umph to the instruments & beats.  Nicely done. I got nowhere with Fruityloops, so confusing to me.

Yo Raven, I really like the oddness of it...well I've never seen anything like it I mean.  It's really good, but what is that yellow thing? It looks like a banana so I hope it is! heh.   I can't animate for you, it's hard enough for me to animate my own characters.  Voice overs could be a possibility, it would depend on where you're going with the game...but that could be fun! ^^

That's pretty bizarre, I've never heard of a parade like that. Where exactly does this take place at? Sounds like Vegas...only in Vegas you can just go to a brothel or something. Heh, bizarre.

Ali: That's so damn cool I can't even think about stuff...I just sit and watch it...ooo, I want one! YAH!
