Right, figured it out. Other question: translation files appear to be 'bound' to a game so that they don't work with others. This means that if I used RunAGSgame(), the second game will not be able to use translation files. How do I fix that? It's apparently not based on the name of the executable, nor on the window title (as set in the AGS editor).

What does the following error mean:

Error: RunAGSGame: error -3 loading new game file

In that case, I'd like to see if the Steam port of 7th Guest is any good. I think I have the CD version in an attic somewhere, maybe.

Thank you, with the aid of the communityI've managed to find him.

Moreover Eco was likely the most influencial/important living european writer. Many were annoyed he never got the nobel. Compare with how many (zero? literally) would be annoyed if Dylan did not get the nobel. No one would.

FWIW in AGS2 there's a simple checkbox to turn it off; I think both 2 and 3 use the same editor?

Unlike any other editor I know, the AGS script editor automatically appends a space whenever I type a comma. How do I turn this off?

Very nice!

I'm interested in Final Exam. Thank you!

I strongly suspect that underlying the objections is a feeling that good songwriting is not as great an accomplishment as good prose or poetry, that it's not "worthy" to qualify for the same award.

Nah, I think that the underlying reason is a general dislike of Bob Dylan, and people trying to come up with a stronger reason that he shouldn't have been enNobeled than that

Please add more keyboard shortcuts.

One that I'm still missing is control-1 (and 2, 3...) to go to script 1, and shift-control-1 to go to header 1.

So, we had a thread last year about how the forums show popups for tapatalk when viewed on mobile, and AGA said he changed the settings to remove those. But I've been seeing them again recently whenever I open the site; is there some way to turn that off for me?

Does anyone know how to reach the (former) AGS'er known as Raggit, also known as Rob Scott? Unfortunately I don't have a functional e-mail address for him; perhaps somebody can tell me? Thanks!

Seems like the man himself doesn't want it :-/

Well, that's exceedingly nobel of him! Yeeaaaahh!

M.C. Escher is my favorite MC.

Having this spill over to the nobel lit contest only makes the latter even less respectable now imo.

Even less? LOL, you're talking about one of the most prestigious and respectable awards in the world. (That's not counting the politics prize, which as stated before is fundamentally different from the traditional Nobel prizes).

Because yes, the standard definition of literature includes both poetry and drama. If you're not aware of what the word means, well that's on you. Here, have some background info.

It's hard to think of song lyrics as poems.

That depends entirely on what kind of music you listen to.

I was going to make this point as well .
As a singer, I find Bob Dylan's nasally voice infuriating, and feel his insistence on using a harmonica everywhere really annoying. As you mentioned, I find a lot of the best versions of his songs are covers, so much so that I end up looking for covers of songs of his I almost like .

As I recall, a question in Trivial Pursuit is "who is generally considered the worst performer of the music by Bob Dylan?" to which the answer is "Bob Dylan"

Still, that underlines he's more of a writer than a singer, making him more suited to this prize.

It's my limited definition of the word literature. Which in my mind, means prose not simply text or just writing.
Not a screenplay, not a song, but possibly a collection of poems though.

So you're basically saying that the Nobel committee should award the prize based on your personal definition of the word "literature", rather than on what the term actually means. Yeah, that's totally gonna fly

I don't see a problem with giving a lit prize to a poet or a songwriter, and the lit prize is one of the traditional five Nobel prizes. I have no particular opinion on Bob Dylan. Do bear in mind that this means that an adventure game designer can eventually also win the Nobel Lit prize.

Yes, the nobel peace prize is all kinds of silly, mainly because the other Nobel prizes all require that the recipient's contributions have been tried and tested over time, whereas the peace prize does not (and thus tends to get awarded on wishful thinking).

We have started a Greenlight campaign to get Starship Quasar published on Steam, bundled with two of our other adventure games: Larry Lotter, and Quest for Yrolg. For anyone who's played these before, these are the 'deluxe' versions with updated and higher-resolution graphics, new soundtrack, and professional voice acting. If you've enjoyed these games, please support us at our Greenlight page. Thank you for your time!

For Starship Quasar, this includes new translations to Dutch, French, and Polish. We are always on the lookout for new translations, so if you're interested in helping, please drop me a line.

Much as I appreciate your work, please don't feel obliged to do so, especially if it stresses you out. The new version is perfectly usable, so you really don't have to stick around to fix every detail. Go make a cool game already
