What may help is thinking 'backwards'. E.g. you know the main character's goal, and you start imagining what obstacles could be put in between him and his goal. For instance, if you look at Monkey Island 2, the goal is finding the four map pieces - and the first obstacles that come to mind are the fact the the current owners don't want to relinguish them. Go from there.
And remember to find multiple uses for items, npcs and locations!

Er, King's Quest III? No, probably not.
Kyrandia II, Hand of Fate? Nah.
Pokemon! Yeah, that's it

I second Snarky's remark. PDF is cumbersome.

No

You're heading the wrong way. You can't get past the goon. You should first go

and then walk all the way

up the eastern tower to Lolotte's chamber.

Then have a chat with her.

Yes. You need to put it in the exact space where you turn on your save/load GUI.

Only in the AGI, I believe, Radiant.

Correct, but it's well worth it. Actually what you should do is google KQIV screenshots, and you'll probably find the beam area.

Oh, and.. The Streetfighter games actually had a plot to them??

Rather surprisingly, yes. Also rather surprisingly, it does kind of make sense (as compared to, say, the plot of Mortal Kombat, which mostly consists of secret cyborg ninjas being sent to kill one another).

Let's see, I believe it was some ancient contest where you had to mention this code to Sierra and get a discount for one of their other products, or something. It's long outdated by now, so don't worry about it. The interesting secret code in KQIV is 'beam me'.

You should DEcrease the walking speed to solve the problem, not increase it.

Pumaman -> a possible FR would be to always have the character move to the very last pixel of the walkable area. Then again this may look weird and/or be annoying to code.

It's not currently possible to edit multiple rooms at the same time. What I do is keep a copy of notepad (the windows tool) open that has a list of relevant rooms and such. What could also help is putting the following in your global script header:

#define R_HOUSE_OUTSIDE 1
#define R_HOUSE_INSIDE 2
#define R_HOUSE_CELLAR 3
#define R_PATHWAY 4

etc...
This allows you to call rooms by name rather than by number, just like you do with loops and characters.

In the code where you turn on the save or restore GUI (i.e. GUIOn()), you should put the command that initializes the save game list. Check your manual for its exact syntax, I don't know it by hard.

I'm not sure what key '555' refers to, but the enter key is actually key 13. That might help.
But putting it in rep_ex is certainly a suitable alternative.

Er, it may be a brilliant site and all, but my browser won't let me past the intro screen. Firefox, btw.

Tell me details of the bug in our forum, which is stuated here: http://www.brenthurst.co.uk/hybridforum

The problem seems to be that you're putting critical parts of your html code (e.g. the menu bar) in flash. Given that flash isn't exactly a fully available standard everywhere, that might not be a very good idea. I managed to find the link page through URL guessing, and it has the same problem.

Anyway. What kind of game is this? I assume AGS. 320x200 or more? Remake or enhanced? Single player or networked?

Actually there were two Street Fighter movies... one is a live action movie which is total crap (bad and cliche storyline, very stupid acting, and lame fight scenes, plus it breaks away from the canon of the video games, and there really aren't any special moves because of the lack of budget). The other is an anime, which is pretty good (better than the Tekken movie, although that one comes close, imho). It has extensive special effects and does follow the plot from the games. It allegedly had some sequels.

Two, of course, but the tricky part is getting them in there.
