How about having simulataneous Brittens, Antipomittens and Amerittens somewhere with a boradband connection and then having a video link between them?

They all need to be there, but they can just be pictures on a wall in a house cut-and-pasted from google image search or something

So, are we going to hear the noms, or what? 

working out a convoluted way to do something in AGS scripting because cj hasnt got round to suppporting it yet...

the only restrictions are those in the first post, and your imagination....

Surely, if you don't then save the room, you haven't lost anything?

SSH :
1) Yes I did read it & I replyed saying that it won't fix my problem becuase I have a long inventory on the icon bar and it has problems with it!

No, you did not say that. God, you don't even read your OWN posts. Look:

So everything now works fine.
Except that I don't want my iconbar to pause the game...

So how do I solve It.

Glad that you have sorted it now, though. To quote other people's replies, look on the posting screen at the Topic Summary and you'll see lots of "Insert Quote" links just under the time/date for each post. Or, you can just hit "Reply with quote" on the thread view.

However, the dialog system is something that I will look into after the release of 2.7 Final, since it does need some work to improve its customizability.

OK, you can add one through the interaction editor, but since you can code a repeatedly_execute_always in to the room script directly, why can't we code in a repeatedly_execute?

Yours faithfully,

An interaction editor hater

I generally use:

if (IsSpeechVoxAvailable()) PlaySound(whatever);

so that the background speehc goes away when the vox files does

Yes, in my experience

You could set a global variable the first time ,a nd then check for that before the invetory condition

When I worked in Bristol, my office in Aztec West was right next to the warehouse where they made Chicken Run

I didn't admit I was rude. I said that someone else was rude. Are you SURE you are reading this?

And you certainly hadn't read:

Change it's visibility setting to 'Normal' instead of 'Popup Modal', and turn it off in game_start

or why would you have then posted:

It's a special popup that imitates "mouse y" gui

I wanted to have my inventory in the iconbar (set to mouse y)
but mouse y doesn't work well with a long inventory.
I can't use inventory on inventory...

So I put a hotspot that loads my popup iconbar in every screen in the y position,
I put allso had to have a hotspot that is on the hole screen that shuts off my popup iconbar.
So everything now works fine.
Except that I don't want my iconbar to pause the game...

So how do I solve It.

Maybe someone know how to solve the problem of mouse y iconbar not working well with long inventory.

Popup Modal GUIs will pause your game, so set the GUI to Normal.

Which plugins do you have installed? Try removing them and see if it works.

Well, of course death threats are rude and a bit out of order, but you did ask a question, get ana answer and then ask it again, which is rude as it shows you didnt read the answer

Well, I know what you mean, but the point would be that sometime people ask for or changes get made that fix a problem in a kludgey way becuase that fix only takes 2 minutes for CJ to do, but the ideal way to do it would be another way. Also, since CJ said a few  things in the 2.7 beta thread about "if I was designing again from scratch..." and I visualised this as a way to facilitiate that kind of idea.

I did some experiments with a few popular AGS games that I had on my disk and found that 7zip seems to give the best compression on average for AGS games (excluding sound packs, of course, which tend not to compress very well). 7zip also can create a self-extracter, which is a small percentage overhead on a big download, on the other hand, that often made the 7zip result abou thte same as a RAR, so there's not much in it.

Here's an idea. At the moment in the field I work in there is a language being developed as an IEEE standard called SystemVerilog  (P1800). Now, already there is an early version of the standard but no-one has actually yet implemented the whol langauge.

The point of all this is, maybe there should be a committe/discussion/etc. of where AGS scripting shoudl go in the future, and set a far-off goal to aim for. This could then be the "standard" and CJ can decide to implement as much or as little of the standard or other stuff  as he likes, but there would be a fixed reference point. This would allow code writers to write their code as future-proof as possible.

Does this seem like a good idea to anyone? Or am I speaking sloblock (anagram) ?

Since most of the major film studios have shareholders from every country under the sun, then ho wdo you define a filom as being American anyway? For example, Fox films are disqualified becuase Rupert Murdoch's major shareholding? The world is globalised, whether people like it or not: trying to close your eyes and say "I'm not listening" wont change that.

Also, since there are plenty of American citizens whose first langauge is Spanish, why shoul dthey be discriminated against?

Interestingly, in Spain, they do dubbing of voices much better than dubbing to English has ever been done: which show that it can be done properly, unlike the Godzilla movies. So why companies dont do this to foreign films, I don't know. I gues sthat subtitles give them a kind of gravitas. Personally I watch lots of English movies with the subtitles on, becuase our houses's soundproofing is rubbish and I don't want to wake the kids....


And Darth, have you ever ewatched the Eurovision song contest. It's perfectly possible to enjot a song even if you don't understand the words. For example: Smells like Teen Spirit!

Oh , and disqulaifying non-english lanaguges means that Lord of the Rings Sindardin songs are out, and Hakuna Matata, and ....
