dasjoe, that was supposed to be private betweent he two of us.

Here's my work PC:

Yay, finally I got me a digital camera and can post to this thread:

Here's the view to the east:

west:

Becuase radius is declared as a string and so when you pass it to a function, it gives a pointer to the string location. When the function tires to interpret that address as an integer, it gets a very large number and thus draws a very large circle, covering the whole screen. You could laso try:

string radius;
int radiusi;
InputBox("Give the value of the radius",radius);
radiusi=StringToInt(radius);
RawDrawCircle(200,150,radiusi);

but you might as well just nest the functions like I said in my previous post

Or even

RawDrawCircle(200,150,StringToInt(radius));

I pass the world's biggest haggis factory every day on the way to work

Where are the screenshots in this thread? LOCK IT! 

Eggie, you can get churros in Spain, where they invented them. My wife loves "Chocolate con churros". I don't like them myself... basically they're just deep-fried pastry with frosting. Now, deep-fried Mars bars... that's another matter

You do realise that this will mean that "3d" will head straight to the top of the list  :

You need a fourth vote type:

* If you implement this, I'm never touching anything AGS-related again, other than to send those XXXtra-special "onion ring" photos to The Daily Mirror

Try getting the latest video drivers for your GFX card. Also, try running the ags windows setup tool and runnign the game in windowed mode.

Would it be a lot of work for you to also have the strings in scripts encrypted?

We've covered this before ... basically, I could, but I don't really want to start messing with the scripting system like that. I may do it at some point though.

Oh yes, we did. Sorry to bother you. I'll code something that works some other way.

How about a workaround to make it easier for people:

1. Add an "encrypt string" function to the script editor to encrypt anything between quotes on the current line
2. Add a decrypt function to AGS

This way people could write

Display(Decrypt("Press the RED button to win"));
then use the editor function to get
Display(Decrypt("Bloogyblarghlyfubarwigglewoggle"));

which then displays correctly

Just so you know, the PSP9 beta version is now available for download from http://www.jasc.com or for a direct download link:

My favourite piece of modern "taking-the-piss" art was at the Edinburgh Art College graduation show a couple of years ago.

A 1m square canvas was painted white. In the middle, stuck there with glue was a single key from a computer keyboard. The piece was titled "Escape". Guess which key it was.

Next to it were two other of the same artists' "work": titled "Pause" and "Control"

They were selling for £150 each.

Try putting a Wait(1) after SetRestartPoint?

AGS deletes the executable if you save a template

Loading savegames from previous versions of the game is very dangerous and can seriously screw  things up... it's usually best to add your own debuggin mechanism to set any variables, etc

Most tatoos and body piercing are not particualrly attractive to me. However, I think Blackthorne's definition of art is a bit narrow. After all, a room with the lights turning on and off won the Turner prize in 2001...

Obviously, you'd seriously screw  things up.

Read only means, I think, "If you modify this variable you can seriously screw  things up" rather than ACTUALLY being read only. 

High Society by Ben Elton. Not enjoyable, as its a depressing portrait of the drugs situation it portrays, but nevertheless a clever satire on the stupidity of prohibition, and on the fickle public and politicians.

Are there any fructarians here, like in Notting Hill? "We only eat fruit that has naturally fallen from the tree" "So.... these carrots?" "Brutally murdered, yes"
