Hey there, as you might've seen in a previous thread of mine in C&C I'm currently beginning on a project involving, yes, zombies.

I'm still trying to decide to what resolution I should be using. So I decided to put away the high-res or low-res conflict in my brain and thought it would be good to try to make a background.

As you can see below it is not ideal for an ingame background. The exit area being at the bottom and all, which I personally hate.

Anyway, that's why I call it a concept background, just trying out a style and trying to get give it a bit of atmosphere.Now it is still a work in progress so it's a bit empty, still missing some bits and bobs like trash and other junk.
Anyway here it is:


It's a bit hard to see but one of the cabinet's feet is broken of, so it's tilted against the wall.

C&C appreciated

Hey everyone, it's been quite a while since I last posted anything in the critics lounge... or any board for that matter.
Anyway I'm working on a project now and this is a character from that project:

                        **EDIT: Transparent background...**

I'm pretty statisfied with this attempt, but I'd like some comments on how to improve it. I especially have some trouble getting the hands right with only using 2 shades.

Thanks!

I recently bought a microphone, a HQ-Mic30 to be precise:

just to show you what kind of mic we're dealing with here

I use it for beatboxing and it works pretty good, I put it in my amplifier and it works fine, so now I want to record some stuff, so I plug it into the microphone input of my computer.
But alas, no sound was recorded, for some reason my computer can't use this mic in the microphone input.
(The thing was designed to do so since the standard cable plug is a 3.5 mm one.)
I plugged it into the line-in plug-in and now it seems to work.
So all is well you might say, but no, the sound I get is really low on volume, nothing a simple amplify option in goldwave or any other program can't handle, but I would like to use it directly as my main computer mic, for using it on msn for example while fooling around with some other beat boxers, but then the volume is too low for my taste.
Unfortunately there is no boost option for line-in in windows.
So do any of you know a way to boost my line-in or get my new microphone to work in the microphone plug-in?

Cheers

Hey, so as some of you might know my old hard drive crashed a few weeks back, so now I've bought aÃ,  new one a 160GB maxtor HD. Well I'm happy with it BUT I got aÃ,  problem.
For some reason my PC says it's a 128GB hard drive . Aside of that it works like a charm, my brother says it's because of my older motherboard and that I should bring it back to da shop and get my money back or get aÃ,  120GB HD and get a little money back.
So I'm wondering, is this dangerous in any way for my new HD or my motherboard or whatever if I kept it?
It's not that I am to lazy to go there and get my money back it's that I finally got everything the way I wanted (with backup's and stuff) and then I should format it again.
Thanks! o/
Ralph

EDIT!!!!:
And so 30 minutes later I found my answer: No it can't damage anything you dumbass!
So I will just leave it in there , if I buy a newer motherboard I would get that 30GB back anyways so you moderat0rs out there you can lock this topic if ya want.
Sorry for this useless topic.

Hey, I was just drawing some stuff and thought what the heck I'll try to make some character in a cartoony style. Well this is the result:


The double outline is intensional.
I like the faces and upperbodies, but I got problems with the arms, legs & feet.
What do you think?
EDIT: See below
EDIT2: My stuff on 2dadventure isn't working anymore 
Uploaded the others to imageshack too.

Hey people, here I am back at the 2d art:

2X

I totally screwed up the right side of his jacket (in our pov)
But what do you think?

Okay this is the situation:
I have three movies:
1st a movie wich shows a guy in the dark, in screen you get A : Shoot, B : Talk.
2nd a movie wich you see the guy talking to you
3rd a movie wich the guy gets shot by you.
Now I want the player to chose his option while the 1st movie is playing.
I have tried several things but I only get to chose after the 1st movie stopped playing. Is it even possible to do this?
I have also though about making a view for the movie but if I would want to make a game the game would just be too huge.

Thanks
Ralph

Hey guys I was bored so I made something for my starting Beatbox career

Not AGS related but just trying to improve my art.

I was bored, so I made this:



What do you think?
(I might make a game with this kind of style.)

I got bored so I quickly made this:

2X

I was bored so I drew something.
Please tell me what you think about it and how to improve it.
Could someone also tell me how to make a more realistic cloth folding and shading.

Its me Redrumo, I'm working on horror hospital as some may know and I'm using 3d models there. And ags is more about making your own sprites me thinks, so since I'm not working on HH for the moment I tried out some real creatin myself.
And this is the result:
1X

2X

Its based on me actually , but it looks a bit weird.
Ive got some problems, everytime I think i got all those pesky pixels at the edge i find new ones. I know there is a way to delete m all at once, but i cant remember how. Im using Paint Shop Pro 9.
And now back to my creation.
Okay so ive made one with some of those edge pixels, I tried adding some shadows but they came out real crappy. So paint overs are very, very welcome and if theres someone who can give me an example for shading such a thing please tell me

Hey ive got a question.
Someone in the forum here said that png and bmp are almost the same quality but png takes much less space. So my question is: does the difference in file size makes a  big difference for my ags game's filesize. In other words is using png better than using bmp.

Heey I may sound kinda dumb, but i cant get the rain plugin to work properly.
I even tried to copy the exact scripts of the demo and still its total crap. the "rain" looks like black snow and i cant fix it. I even tried to make a new view (same as in the demo) and still its the same (yeah ive done setrainview or something like that.) can someone please give me an example to make good rain.

Hey I need to know how to play a movie in a ags game I'm making, if possible. You know like a mpg, avi or wmv movie or something

Hey Peepz, the plug was going to be pulled on Horror Hospital but fortunatly I changed my mind and went on with it.
Heres the updated info.

The main caracter is Phil Nathan, a normal guy with a boring desk job in the city.
As Phil goes home after working late he gets hit by a car.


*Updated Screenshot*

He is taken to a hospital, were strange things will happen.

The game is Rendered with the DeusEx Engine, it uses Half-Life and DeusEx Models.
At first you will be in a normal Hospital, but that will change when you get futher in the game. A bit like Silent Hill.



*Updated Screenshot*

The game has a menu that can be used at almost al times.(thanks Ahmet AkA Gord10 Who helped me alot with that)


This is the kind of view you can expect when you look at an object or window, this is what you see as you look out the window on Phil`s hospital room.
    Special thanks to Ahmet Kamil Keles.

Update: 2nd of August 2005

My fellow AGS'ers I have some bad news,
my hard drive crashed and Horror Hospital has been deleted in the process.
Unfortunatly due to my lack of motivation I fear that I won't start all over again on this same project.
I still do have some old files stored somewhere (on my server) so If and I say 'IF' I feel like starting all over again I will have some needed recources at hand.
Also I have found an old version of HH full of bugs and crappy intro included, I will try to upload it somewhere for those who want to download it.
So Horror Hospital is here by put on hold, unless I am confinced otherwise.

~~~~~~~~~~~UPDATE 7th of September 2005~~~~~~~~~~~~
(same as last bumping post)
Why hello there!,

Just so you know, I'm releasing the incomplete demo thingy for horror hospital.
I don't really have intention of making this game any further since the Hard drive crash.
So I am just releasing this for those who want to check it out.
Known Issues:
-There are probably some bugs in the game
-Real dumb conversations that needed to be sorted out
-Missing animations
-The timing at some points is off
-Animations can keep playing when walking down after such an animation
-Hotspot interactions are not all complete
-Forgot about walking when opening in the fuseroom.
-Scaling off in some rooms.
Most of these could be fixed easily but I don't have the time for it, seriously.
Real though stuff are going to happen at school.
