Hey, I've been away for a while, so forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere.

A while back I posted a problem about GUI labels appearing on top of DisplaySpeech texts. I think CJ said that others had had the problem and he was thinking about fixing it. If so, just tell me and ignore the next part of the message.

I decided to use text overlays instead of GUI labels. I believe that the DisplaySpeech command will be displayed 'above' the overlays. The problem I'm having is that it creates the overlays inside a textbox. Is there some way to create a text overlay with a plain transparent background? All I want is the text to be part of the background. No fancy pictures or text boxes or anything like that...

Any help is appreciated!

By the way, I suggest you keep the "Player stands on hotspot" interaction, because it'll probably still be useful sometimes.

Not to mention a pain in the butt, if you ever decide to go back and make newer versions of your old games... it would be a lot of work to convert all the hotspot interactions into region interactions...

I certainly hope not... I don't think the world would be the same place with out you here on the net...  

Did you by any chance read the April Fool's Joke at the Tierra forums? It turned out pretty good...

Yeah, good job! I took the liberty of checking out the pics you posted of your baby. Very cute! It's been a few years since mine were that small...

No problem! Some people were asking about a program like this over at the Tierra forums. I decided to create one, and Tom (KQ2VGA's musician) has actually advertised the program for me on his site (Quest Studios).

At one point I was thinking about creating a playlist feature that would allow you to enter a track name for each song, and then recall the playlist similar to restoring a saved game. I had it kinda sorta halfway working, but AGS has a limitation on the amount of strings and nested if statements, so it didn't work out very well... Maybe if enough people download the program and like it, I may try to rescript the playlist thing...

I just used the default AGS mouse cursor in this version. I'll add that to my list of things to change incase I ever decide to update it again...

AGS JukeBox version 2.1

This is an easy to use utility that allows you to listen to all the digital music from your favorite AGS game. It requires a "music.vox" file from any AGS game in order to run. This utility is great for listening to all your favorite songs from soundtracks like KQ2VGA.
