How about something liek this, Dave:

Code: ags

function NewSay(this Character *, String what) {
   int tmp=guiIntheWay.BackgroundGraphic;
   guiIntheWay.BackgroundGraphic=SAME_SPRITE_BUT_WITH_TRANSPARENT_HOLE_IN_IT;
   this.Say(what);
   guiIntheWay.BackgroundGraphic=tmp;
}

One could even dynamically create the Sprite by drawing on the original sprite with the "magic magenta" colour a rectangle based on the size of sprites in the talking view. I guess a problem is if the talk view sprites are not rectangular themselves.

If its not just a background graphic obscuring the portraits, but also buttons, text boxes, etc, you could do the same trick with them or just turn off their visibility. If you could give a screenshot of the problem, it might help to gauge how easy a solution might be.

Making AGS games / having AGS games made for your beloved ones seems to be becoming a new trend... 

Yeah, Dave Gilbert told me he's making a game called "The Marvellous Adventures of Princess Janet"

Well, having grown up in Aberdeen, I understand why he'd want to leave....

remember me to much to 6 days a skeptic.

Heh, my daughter says "remember me" instead of "reminds me" too!

Is there a reason why this is now called "---" in the games DB?

"xargs" isn't recognized...

by what?

Well, it works fine in Linux and HP-UX. Install cygwin and it should work on Windows, too

Code: ags

find / -size 0 -type d -print | xargs rmdir

What did you call the GUI #6 (and #5, just to be sure), is it a reserved word or built-in function by any chance?

EDIT:
Let me guess, #5 is gGUI? Call it something else.

Yeah, I get that too. One way to work around it is to edit the url for the game detail page and change the "www" at the front to "more" (to match the forums urls and hence keep the cookie monster happy...!)

Great point.  For all we know, publishers will see AGS game makers us as liabilities from now on.     Assholes who just lie and say everything is their own content ruin the overall credibility for the rest of us.

But, it was made with Wintermute... another reason why AGS is superior. None of the games in our DB... oh

To be honest, I think 5 different ratings is too many. The difference between 4 cup and 5 cup games is marginal. We certainly don't need more.

I honestly think these height race buildings are all about prestige.

Really. Owned... and I used to say myself as a forum freak.. gotta post more..

Go for quality, not quantity, like me! On 2.431/day  :

Yay! Everyone going to Weddittens!

Mazeltov!

That's why I love Dave Gilbert's games: the characters' motivation for everything is clear.

Shouldn't there be a sort by rating option (or have I missed it)?
When you sort by rating it would be nice to have the 5 cups at the top and the 1 cup at the bottom.

You mean, like this: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=digest&sortby=3&sortdir=0&startfrom=0

Although I notice that the latest games added AFTER the db update are not listed in the digest when you sort by date added...

should that be treatise?

Sin and other trigonometry will be used in programs the need to calculate geometry, e.g. 3D objects, etc.

Looks like its there for me. However, its not listed as a commercial game, and it should be...

The problem is that you have set your general game options to display Dsiplay messages ona  GUI background that doesn't exist. Remove this setting and all will be fine.
