A Grim Fandango Fandango fan then, eh?

Haha good game. I love violent games. Games with a sick sense of humour.

Good Job.

Erm... you mean publes, right?

Thanks for the confidence boosting replies everyone.

Ah it feels so good to be posting again...

So... er... I miss anything much?

Yaargh, okay before you guys eat me up in your wrath at my hasty, unexplantory removal, let me make some things clear and explain things.

The reason I left is because we lost our internet connection for a while. It came on and off, but too quickly. It's been up for a while now, and I thought I should make a return.

Hopefully you guys can welcome me back like the prodigle son, and forget all this stuff.

Thanks, Zor.

I ... I'm leaving and I'm not likely to return.

It's been a pleasure knowing some of you.

Cheers.

So who won?

I mean it looks better than I usually expect from a newcomer. Some people come in here with nothing really to show, and say "im maekign a gaem its reely kool." Or if they do have something to show it's really bad
But you're different, this looks promising. I think I'm gonna really enjoy this game when it comes out.

Well they make good music, but not really to my taste.

I suppose that's probably because it's been drummed into my head repeatedly by my parents... Oh well.

OMS that's exactly what happened to me last year. I had an old LunchBox pc (does anyone remember those old things?) and one day it just started up but the screen stayed black.
My graphics card was stuffed and that was what was causing the problem.
Unfortunately parts for my old Lunchbox are pretty hard to get hold of, so it never got fixed.

I'm not complaining though because after that, (well I had to wait 6 months first hehe) my dad gave me his laptop. Lucky me.

I hope that is just your graphics card and nothing on your harddrive, and that you're able to retrieve your data.
I just plugged my old drive into a different pc and copied the files across teh lan.

Hope everything works fine for you, Al.

Well this doesn't look half-bad! I might enjoy this one I think.

Did you say it has a speech-pack?

Yes, some of them are pirated, especially the Monkey Islands (pun, *joke drum*)

Erm... You can still have 99 saves with savegameindex array.

For the highlight couldn't you just set highlighted color to normal color in the listbox?

Sam and Max was damned funny. The plot wasn't too good, but it was damned-ass funny.

SAM AND MAX 2: GO!

You should create your textbox.

At the top of your global script:

string UserInput;

Under your interface_click for the textbox button.

if (StrCaseComp(UserInput,"debug on")==0) {
  if (game.debug_mode==0) {
    game.debug_mode=1;return;}
  else if (game.debug_mode==1) {
    game.debug_mode=0;return;}}

No... Not the movie Small Soldiers. The gameboy version of Duke Nukem, the aliens were called Zorgonites.

You need to tone down the orange in the skin. Make it more... fleshy.

Actually I just started making a turn-based battle system and Old-style pokemon/first final fantasy gameplay template.

I say go for it, I'd love to see the differences in the way that each of us does ours.

Or alternately you could do this: (with overlays. It comes from room script and I'm sure you could move it to global yourself.)

int over;string hot;
#sectionstart on_mouse_click  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function on_mouse_click(int button) {
  if (button==LEFT) {
    ProcessClick (mouse.x,mouse.y,MODE_USE);}
  else if (button==RIGHT) {
    ProcessClick (mouse.x,mouse.y,MODE_LOOK);}
  ClaimEvent ();}
#sectionend on_mouse_click  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
#sectionstart repeatedly_execute  //DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function repeatedly_execute () {
    if (IsOverlayValid(over)) {
      GetLocationName(mouse.x,mouse.y,hot);
      SetTextOverlay (over,mouse.x+10,mouse.y-10,5,1,15,hot);}}
#sectionend repeatedly_execute  //DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
#sectionstart room_b  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function room_b() {
  // script for room: Player enters screen (after fadein)
  GetLocationName (mouse.x,mouse.y,hot);
  over=CreateTextOverlay(mouse.x+10,mouse.y-10,5,1,15,hot);}
#sectionend room_b  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE

That's all really.

Well done Squinky. Very well done, can't wait. Do you have an estimate of a release date/how many more days/months/years in production?

EDIT: I notice a blank space under the pic. Does this mean you're using the VerbBox? Please say yes.
