how do i extract these babies?  I looked around for a rar extractor but winrar, winace, and winzip have to be purchased, and I dont wanna pay for extracting a couple of files, so what do i do to extract these?

sorry if I am asking a totally noob question, but how do u get those things to work? they are not gui files they are agt files.

i have a question, does maniac mansion delux have a lot of glitches in it for u guys?  When i was playing it wouldnt let me use the paint remover on that wall, and then it crashed saying it has an error in like 276 or something.  Is there a way to fix this?

I searched around this site and did a glance over on general ags fan sites, trying to find a template for a lucasarts gui, since the coding looks too advanced for me to figure out at the moment.  Unfourtunitly all the links are dead so i cant find a template, does anyone know of a working link where i can get a working lucasarts template?

I think its a great thing to do with friends, me and my friends are working on a game and weve got a good team, a programmer (me, but im new and learning), and artist, and a writer/ semiprogrammer.  Its fun to go over to their house and work on making a game, and it helps prepare for a future in programming.

problem is now solved, thanks a lot to all that helped me solve this.  In case anyone else is wondering how to do this here is what i put in my scripts:

Dialog script

Code: ags

// dialog script file
@S  // dialog startup entry point
run-script 77
return
@1  // option 1
VENDOR: "Hmm lemme see that, ok sure you can have a hotdog but you have to give me the poster"
stop
@2  // option 2
VENDOR: "Have a nice day."
stop

in global script

Code: ags

function dialog_request(int parameter){//for dialog scripts to add options and other things
	if (parameter == 77){//if requested script is 77
		if (character[EGO].inv[3]){//if main character has 1 or more of inv item number 3 (hot dog poster in this case)
					  SetDialogOption(1,1,1);
					  }

	  }
  
}

Blah forgot to logon so now this is second time typing this.

I did exactly what strazer said to do in the dialog script, and in the global script i did this:

Code: ags

function dialog_request(int paramater){
	if (parameter== 77) {

		if (character[EGO].inv[2]){
		SetDialogOption(1, 1, 1);Ã,  Ã, 
		}
	}
}

and the error i get when i try to run this is "nested functions not supported (you may have forgotten a closing brace)".Ã,  I am fairly sure that I did not forget a closing brace, i placed the global script right before the last closing brace in the code.Ã,  Any ideas how i can fix this so that i can have my dialog turn on if the character has a certain item?

/edit
heres a simple question: does putting if (character[EGO].inv[2]) vs if (character[EGO].inv[2]==1) make any difference? will the second one make it so that the character must only have 1 of the item for the script to work, and if the play has more then 1 it will not be executed?

Sorry about the script, I couldnt figure out how to make it appear as script, i clicked on additional options and it said the shortcut was the # key, but that didnt work, and i cant find how or if you can edit the original post so i had to repost.

Hello, I am new to these forums aswell as to adventure game studio.  I have been working through the begginers tutorials and I have come across a problem that I cant seem to find the answer to.  It seems that I cant put an "if" statement in dialog script, which i want because i want to have a dialog option hidden until the character has a certain inventory item, in my case it the item is inventury item #3.  I put this in the dialog:

#
// dialog script file
@S  // dialog startup entry point
if (player.inv[3]==1){
  option-on 1
  }
return
@1  // option 1
VENDOR: "Hmm lemme see that, ok sure you can have a hotdog but you have to give me the poster"
stop
@2  // option 2
VENDOR: "Have a nice day."
stop

the only problem is that if statements do not work in dialog script, so i can not run the game with this is.  So how do you make it check for an inventory item and then show a dialog option if the item is present?
