Interestingly, I think it is not possible. There's a GetGraphicalVariable function to get the values of them, but no way to change them from inside scripts! I don't know why this is! Anyway, you'll have to use a GlobalInt instead, I'm afraid. Maybe there should be a warning on those variables, like "Cannot be accessed from script" or maybe just a SetGraphicalVariable function added...

[Download reference sheet for AGS v2.60 SP1]

Well, I have quick reference sheets at work for C, Perl, Verilog and VHDL that come in very handy, so I thought an AGS quick reference sheet might be good too. So please download and let me know if anything looks wrong or would be handy to add, etc. It's two pages, because then you can print it on both sides of one sheet and laminate it...

Sorry if you don't have something that can read Word, but there's plenty of free Word readers available on the net (OpenOffice, antiword, MS's own Word Viewer, etc.) and this way you can edit it about to suit your taste. The sections were originally in the order that they appear (kind of) in the roomedit.clb file, but then were moved about various times as I experimented with margins and columns, etc. It fits on US letter paper, so A4 may require adjustment.

SSH, bump this thread if you ever intend to release newer versions.

Pah! Where are the demo screenshots and character animations, eh? Where are the plot descriptions? You n00bs think you can just come on here, announce a game and half a sentence of descrption and then do the usual asking for "Animators, artists and musicians". Typical. So STFU n00b!


Oh, it's you Dave. Well, just becuase you've produced some excellent games and won awards and stuff don't think that we'll take you any more seriously. Actually, I'm just upset that you're looking for people to join the project in areas that I'm not so good in.  :'(

Why not publish whatever results you did get, Barcik, even if it's not "official"...?

Why are you passing 5 as the repeat parameter to AnimateCharacterEx?

Because I wanted the animation to repeat 5 times.

The repeat command is actually a boolean, not a counter. 1 means repeat forever, 0 means do it once. So for five repeats you  need the repeat parameter set to 0 and run the command 5 times with the blocking parameter set, or without blocking, you need to set a counter and use your repeatedly_execute to restart the animation.

Maybe CJ could rename the function prototypes of all functions with "int x" where x can only be 0 or 1 to be "bool x" instead? That would help avoid these kind of problems... or alternatively, RTFM!

Why not use the same login as the forums? That way you could automatically have a link on a member's profile: "View this member's games"... The AGS Awards thingy already linked the games database and the forum logins...

Have you set the baselines for your walkbehinds? Generally, they should be at the bottom of the walkbehind. Also, have you set your charatcer to ignore walkbehinds?

HTH

I would be happy with Darth' s Klaus's or Loominous's but ulimately, as long as the difficulty in finding things that Dorcan mentions is gone, I don't care about the style. Maybe a site map page that links to every page on the site would be good!

No gunfights, as one of the main characteristic of Arizona is not using gun or wig.

Thank goodness. There are too many American-influenced adventure/action heros who pack a "hairpiece" , just because the Americans have in their constitution "The right to bare heads". Do we really need to see someone getting blown away by a toupee? No.

In other words, Farlander: do you really mean "wig"?

It says in the rules sticky thread for General Discussion that:

a) You should respect other people
b) Adult content must have a *** WARNING: ADULT CONTENT *** in the subject. Since Melia owns the thread and only her or a moderator can change the subject, you're violating that rule. You're also violating it in every other thread you have posted in.

On the other hand, people with decent browsers like Firefox can right-click on an image and select "block all images from this server"

Looking forward to this, but please please fit the "Choux bomber" joke in somewhere as its too good to go to waste  

There's a volume control somewhere in the Modem Control Panel, as I recall. However, it doesn't shange things on my modem. I guess that a dialer would want to turn off the sound, so you didn't realise it weas connecting you to a 1.50 a minute line...

There seems to be an Air India flight that is cheap...

http://www.traveljungle.co.uk seems to be a good search engine... have you considered flying from somewhere other than London, too?

When people say move it to the repeatedly execute, make sure you put the code in the same function as what you already had there, not in another repeatedly_execute, or swapping them round, just do:

function repeatedly_execute() {

if (IsTimerExpired(9)==1){ //when the reload timer is up
mouse_clicks = 0;
EnableCursorMode(MODE_LOOK);
SetCursorMode(MODE_LOOK);
SetObjectGraphic(3,10);
}

// Rest of your rep_ex code goes here....


}


Also, you can save some typing if you replace all those ifs 1-7 with:
SetObjectGraphic(3,10 + mouse_clicks);

You mean 8+Random(40)?

by the way, questions like this should maybe be placed in the Beginner's Tech Forum...

If you can cope with Photoshop Elements, you can typically get that free with some of the cheap scanners (especially reconditioned ones). Or try ebay?

Also, if you download 8.00, 8.01 and 8.10 Paintshop Pro trials and use up all their free periods it should keep you going for 10 months... if you can keep you computer turned on al the time, even longer (they only check the time when they start up)...

Actually, I didn't relasie that anonymizer was slowing things down for folks, too, so I've moved my avatar to somewhere I can direct link to...  

Hope you guys all have a great time. Just so Farlander knows: I won't be going:  anyway, Alba isn't 18 yet!

So how long will this delay BTS by, then?  

I'm not sure why you need to do it in AGS, other than:

a) Trying to  win the Roger for Best Non-Adventure Game
b) Sheer perversity
c) Not having any other development tools
