And a link to prove it!

Thanks GG, this got more traffic to my blog than it's had for ages...! 

And I think I sing myself quite enough to prevent me from being unsung, but thanks for the mention, Bucket!

Can you give more detail? What settings are you using, most pertinently, Overlay or GUI mode?

no this shouldn't be wrong.

I know it shouldn't be wrong, but the limit I described of 32000 implies it is

Now, to make an AGS-based IRC client... 

Then a stickam client... 

Default values for parameters are stored by the compiler as 16-bit ints, therefore they're limited to 32000.

The manual says shorts go from -32768 to 32767, is it wrong?

Scotch, you rock!

Also, the way I do it supports blink views, which Dave also has, which is why I go to the bother of Animating by hand. Its horses for courses, really: Dave just wanted things the same as the built-in, but on top of GUIs, you wanted more graphical effects...

Heh, and Will Wright's Spork

So, your one isn't compatible with voice packs? Mine was primarily made for Dave G, and I know that he needs voice support...

If you don't use Say, how do you display the text?

Wouldn't it be easier to turn on Window's built-in accessibility controls that do the same thing?

Keycodes of typable characters can be easily done in script like this:

Code: ags

if (keycode=='+') { // do stuff }

Congrats! Make sure you name it Donna, Avenger of Blood

Not a very helpful comment, but I think they both rock!

Rather than mock people's scripting, isn't it better to show the better way?

Code: ags

function funcPI() {
  lstSell.Clear();
  int i=0;
  while (i<50) {
    if (invAllInv.ItemAtIndex[i] != null)  lstSell.AddItem(invAllInv.ItemAtIndex[i].Name);
    i++;
  }
}

Mirek, what does "Omlouvam se, ale tohle prodavat nebudu." mean?

Well, this has been updated so that the GUI will import into AGS 3.0+ and renamed so that people have a better idea what it does!

Also added:

Global.Dump function to dump all variable and timer values to a file
max setting for Global.Inc to allow increments to automatically stop when they reach the top...

Not really SP1-specifc, perhaps, but:

Code: ags

  import static function Inc(String name, int max=2147483647);

gives:

Failed to save room room1.crm; details below
UltraVariables.ash(178): Error (line 178): default parameter out of range

EDIT:
Trial and error shows that the limit for a default parameter is 32000... very odd!

The data types part of the help file says that is maxint... is that wrong?

(N.B. it would be nice if MAXINT was defined along with other constants like limits.h has)

The game is great, from the graphics to the puzzles, but somehow it creates a Nanobots subfolder in my "My Documents" folder (resp. "Eigene Dateien", my Windows is german), but the savegames are in a subfolder in the Nanobots game folder (where they belong).

It's common for AGS to create this folder in Eigene Dateien, but Ivy has obviusly written own code to place her savegames. No need to worry.

Its not possible to write code to do that in AGS! You can change some settings in AGS 3.01 that affect this, though (3.01 was used for Nanobots)

Well, CJ may fix this in AGS 3.03 or somesuch, but meanwhile, GUIs appear on top of Sierra-tyle speaking view portraits, but behind the text, which can look odd. This module works around the problem by using a GUI to display your Speech View.

Thanks to Dave Gilbert for raising the issue.

Let me know if you need any additional features!

Don't think that approach would work with that GUI. But instead, I proudly present:
