Hi

Thanx, check your e mail.

I think the only problem would be "multicolored" font. One font that is differently shaded ! AGS doesn't support that yet, but I think that is not much of a problem... All the other thing can be made exactly as the S.S.

already done:
http://freeware.remakes.org/walkthrough/infinity.txt

I would use birthday "in two days" method. And adjust story accordingly ! It seems the best way. Or just add extra day if player starts in that date.

What about "shaded" fonts like in Simon the Sorcerer (fonts were brither at the top and darker at the bottom) ?

**Hi**

1. I was wondering how long can hotspot name be , now that the 30 characters limit is removed

2. Is it possible to add option for the font "auto-outline" to choose the outline color (i would need white color instead of black).
And to add outline thicknes (now is only 1 pixel). -> for TTF fonts


thanx

Hey

Yeah, it was planed to be longer, alien planet should be as long as the first part... but as you know first project and i wanted to release something already, so i made game much shorter as planed...

Hey thanks KhrisMUC, i'll try it out.


Baro:

I know all about inventory window, but it is limited for some things, so i must make my own...

Hi

There are some problems with INTRO.AVI movie, just remove or delete this file from games directory, and the game should work fine...

Hey

I was wondering if (or how) it s possible to specifiy a GUI and only a button graphics for the engine too look.

I don't want to specify a exact button, but only the NORMAL GRAPHICS parameter !


I have a custom gui, and inventory slots will be actual buttons, as there are many inventory items available in random order to pick up (so button one can be a BUCKET, STICK, or anything else), i want to make script shorter, so i want for AGS to only look for specific button graphics not the button name.

hope this makes any sense

Hi


Hey thank you !



Yes you can  get trought force field in the vulcanic planet::



spoiler:
you must kill that half robot with teleport rings - teleport and push
end:






By the way, there is a secret room in SG command, it is kind a easter egg


enjoy

under medium lenght games you can find this link to DL !:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=download&game=472

AGS have some problems with videos, the easiest way is to remove intro.avi from games directory and watch it in media player.
Run the game without the AVI file in the dir, it should give you some error but it work fine...

Hi

Hey, thanks for this big compliments !!!
Hope you like SG1 series, althou i think season 1,2,3,4,5,6 all above are just watchable nothing more.


Well the thing is, that I don't have a lot of time trough the day and currently not enough motivation to start new project by myself.
BUT in the future (a year or two...) i plan to start a horror game about a survival in the forerst cabin with some strange and horific things happening...

Again thanks for compliments, maybe this will make me do my next game faster .

enjoy

Well, obviously/apparently naming a GUI 'gGUI' screws up internal AGS stuff. Why would it be an odd problem?

Its odd because gui 5 is named gGUI and works fine ! But next GUI (6) doesnt work no matter how you name it...



Yes, AGS should warn about "wrong" names

SSH was right, no. 5 was named GUI, but i still don't know why no. 6 would work because of that !?

Now it work, still odd problem !?

thanx

Hi

When a add new GUI (possition 6) I get following error:

Error (line 89): expected variable or function after import, not 'FindGUIID'

If i delete GUI (so i only have 5 guis than) game works fine.

It could be possible i overlooked something ?

Hi

Yes it took me about a 1 year for each, also Project Xenophobe was my first game, so some parts of graphics are not as good and animation is pretty crapy !

MAybe i will make special edition of PX and remade graphics animations and other stuff...

hey thanks !

And thanks to all who voted for my game too
