My first game... It's all set in 1st person (Myst style). You play a guy who just can never seem to get a good nights sleep... When he does go to sleep he is constantly viseted by a strange man named Jonny... Things generaly seem normal untill his dreems encroch into the real world and Jonny starts to visit him while he's awake. It's a 'psychological thriller' wannabe game, with twists and turns, telling the story of one man on the edge of sane and insane.
##(My game uses bmp. files and the rules state not to use pics of that type of file, tell me what to do and I'll edit this post)##

hi I have used the tutorial to make the player choose a name, only when using there chosen name in dialog it just comes up with the variable used (i.e %s). I know this is because the game can't determin when I want it to say the name or just say "%s"... I can get the players name to be shown only through room script and then it has to be a message and not dialog like I want it to be... Any help would be apreciated...

hi... just dont know how to make my game 16bit (8bit colours are crap)

hi

I am making a game with multiple character selection at the start. Having trouble with the 3rd room; you get to choose ur character then it moves you to a bar where all the characters are but you only controle the 1 you pick... but whenever you go outside the bar it automaically changes the character to the one in 'character 1' slot how can I change this?

ok will do

Hi again (I'm on a roll today) I'm not at home so sorry if this is on the tutorial, but is there a way to make your rooms stay still as your character moves round it, I keep having rooms that half cut off unless the player walks to the center of the room.

MSPaint is so lame, it makes my backgrounds look like they where drawn by a 3 year-old... I've looked trough the forums to find that ArtGem was my best bet... only to find that it has been discontinued (Just my luck)... You know of any other good FREE art programs... thanks

Thankyou, was coding all last night tryin to get it to work... Didn't realise that the interactions dropdown box had a 'run script' selection... cheers

was wondering if it would be posible to give the player a choice in which charactor to play as (Diablo style) like create a first room with the charactors in view they click on a hotspot over the chatacters and then when they start the game they are that character....

How do I make the playable charatcer change halfway through the game?
<sorry if this has already been posted or if its on the tutorial but ie serched with no luck>

I can create Inventory Items that can be used, however they do not seem to work correctly... for example say they have to use the knife on the cake, as long as they have the knife in their inventory it doesn't matter what they use on the cake it will still work. How can I make it so that they have to use the Knife on the cake for it to work?
