5 with animated backgrounds

scummbuddy's solution is interesting i wouldn't have thought of that

so i guess that means this thread can be deleted/moved/locked since it breaks the rules of the forum

from a pm reply he sent me

Go FUCK YOURSELF TOO.......

hey foz, guess what... you're not making any friends here

good night

i do believe it's cause of the fact that i am organizing the event

who is it you want going?

and if i break your leg with my sledgehammer cause i don't like the looks-a-ya well.. that's the law of the land and if you don't like it then maybe you should take it up with the millions of soldiers who died freeing this land from the tyrrany of the Mohawk Indians!!

i mean when are you not concidered a minor anymore... as in if a 30 year old shoots himself in the foot with a bow and arrow at my camp then too bad his fault

if a 6 year old does it then it's my responsibility

where's the line

i figured since you were making an RPG you would have been better at scripting, i'm not going to script this all out so i'd suggest either getting to know the ags scripting language or finding another way to do this

either with scummbuddy's suggestion or just making a different game

that is also my guess... what is the legal limit to adult hood in the us?

foz... stop it you're acting like a 5 year old don't make me delete your posts

vel didn't even start this thread you fool

ok i thought you probably new that but on the site if you want to give people an example of an adventure game why don't you give them a link to beneath a steel sky.

if you mean the main ags site it's because BASS wasn't made in AGS

YEA!! let's judge a game we know nothing about and haven't even come close to playing yet!! WOOO!! this will ge us far!

is this what you mean eggie?

it's a popular style of modeling i've seen it in many short films and commercials and of course nightmare before christmas

one of the best short films i've seen using this style was about the sandman and it was creepy scary

well...

i've done a bit of fiddling before and AGS can do what MrBombastik says only i'd use characters instead of objects

i'd suggest writting your own functions which wouldn't be that hard at all, to get the characters all ontop of each other and animating with the proper loop, they'd all just be dependent on the base character and his view and loop.

problems i can see with this, when linking an object to another i sometimes see that the child object is a little bit lagged behind the parent sometimes and this will look really awkward when in came, the clothes or helmet will drag behind the players

another problem would be baselines, depending on the number of things the player can put on, baselines could be a problem for walkbehinds and walkable areas.

also, let me suggest doing the game in 256 colours and working with a strict palette [or i guess the tint function may work also] cause then you could have a WIDE variety of clothes that varies with the colour and not the form. Silver bronze gold flame water etc armor would all be the same shape only the colours would be different

heh how funny that my friend from college just imed me and we talked about what we're doing lately and he's making an animated movie in magic eye...

i can't way to see that up on the big screen...


OOOOOH WEE!

DG, if you don't mind, i'll take this one:

Dear Desperate,

You dirty cheating whore...

Signed,

EX Mr Desperate

so all we know from this post is the game will be set in space and use ags and be low res

of course someone would want to play an AGS game, people play them all the time

please be more specific, if you told me you were planning on doing a sequel to Armaggedon where the earth is attacked by another asteroid that will destroy everything then i will tell you know i have no desire to play that game

but since we know nothing at all about this game you plan on making everyone who posts after this i'm sure would agree:

make whatever game you want, we love games here and we love new games, we will play anything as long as it's well made and it seems that the author took their time, if you are interested in making it we are interested in playing it

good luck,
eric

just fade the scene out in "before fade in" and then set a wait in "After fade in" and then after the wait fade the scene back in

should work, i've done it before

well... i think something should be said and it applies to both high and low colour art

when working with any program you have to take your limitations into account. if all we had was 256 colour support and someone said their room looks terrible in 256 colours [as has happened back in the day] the best anyone can say is "Well, them's the breaks. Shoulda planned ahead."

and until 32bit colour is added this should have been something you planned ahead of time, having to deal with either image degredation through converting or originally planning ahead and working with the limitations instead of against.
