Would someone please me remind me of adding a blank space in a Label.

A label appends to what has been typed into a Textbox. Well, I want the Label to always tab 1 space each time it is used. Similar to [ in a label only a space.

Hope you understand.

cheers

Hi

I was wondering if we could have what Modules/Plugins each member has made, along with links on each members profile.

Could this be done? It would also have a direct link to the Module/Plugin for easy access.

What do you think?

I could not see slider to adjust Gamma settings on the control panel in-game full screen.

Upon looking at the function I noticed they had mysteriously turned to false:

Code: ags

if (!System.SupportsGammaControl) {
    // If we can't change the gamma settings, disable the relevant options.
    sldGamma.Visible = false; 
    lblGamma.Visible = false;


I had only positioned elements and did some cosmetics..

Hi

I have added additional mouse modes 8 and 9 and they work fine...

However, I need custom mode 10 though ags only supports 0-9 normally afaik...

I do get it to show the cursor in-game but its mode name does not show up in hotspot/object properties so I can't add interactions..
A text label indicates the selective mode is true.

Is there a sure fire way to use mode 10?

cheers

Hi

I have a video file which plays but it is quite sluggish (slow, stutter) with  a kind of echo.

its is 6.86mbs.

game is 1024 x 768. 32 bit. 3d9

it's .ogv in the compiled Game folder..

Code: ags

 PlayVideo("pierre_death.ogv",0, 0)


Any suggestions for better video play?

EDIT: .mp4 plays Ok at 5.17mbs

EDIT EDIT: Since the widescreen format doesn't add much, I changed the video resolution from 1280x720 to 640x480.
The .ogv now works perfect.

Title: Finger of suspicion. An investigative drama. Think of 'Her Story' as this game is based on searching by keywords from statements said to further the investigation.

During a dinner party at Fairfax Manor, socialite Dorothy Moore had been found dead. The police have sent you to investigate as they can't fathom out her unexpected death.

Lord and Lady Fairfax say it must have been the ghost of Fairfax Manor that had murdered Dorothy Moore by scaring her to death.

Use your Investigative Search facility to delve deeper into clues you discover/hear that will help solve this mysterious death.

Your pet rat, Hugo will squeak if he hears a lie.

This game will be very GUI based.

Hi

I have a maths problem that needs solving...

Code: ags

  LWeight.Text=String.Format("%d",Weight);
  LWeightOZ.Text=String.Format("%d",Weight_Ozs);


It's lbs and ozs.

16ozs equals 1lb

I have it so that when ozs reaches 16 then lbs go up by 1.

What is NOT happen is any remainder ozs should stay in the ozs label.

Ex

1lbs 9ozs then you add 8ozs which gives 2lbs 1oz.

I am loosing the 1oz so labels show 2lbs 0ozs

Maths expert required...

EDIT
Trying this

Code: ags

 if(Weight_Ozs>=16){
 Weight_Ozs-=16;
 Weight+=1;


EDIT
Can end up with - ozs!

aghhhhhhhhhh

Crispian de Foe: Ghost Man....

A dark and sinister world for Edwardian crime-fighter Crispian de Foe....

The Background styles emulate his view of this new world: almost colorless....

Story Line

In Edwardian London, crime-fighter Crispian de Foe had pursued for many years his nemesis whom the police nicknamed 'The Mask' because he leaves a playing card of a mask with a message on which became his calling card.

In 1905 Crispian de Foe had finally tracked The Mask to a lair deep below the streets of London.
A hot chase ensued leading de Foe deeper down into the sewers. With each breath he took he shortened the gap.
On a bend he lost sight of The Mask when suddenly, out of the shadows a heavy object hit de Foe on the back of the head.
The next thing he remembers was waking up strapped to a table and being taunted by The Mask who proceeded to annihilate de Foe with gamma rays.
Crispian de Foe was never again to see his beloved Edwardian London.

In 2004 a construction company unearthed him from what was once part of a sewer tunnel. Things would never be as they once were for de Foe, nor for de Foe himself.
His heart pumped at around four beats a minute, when suddenly an hour later his heartbeat increased. Over the next 2 hours de Foe's heartbeat returned to normal and soon he made a full recovery.

He was unaware that the gamma rays had empowered him with special abilities. On leaving hospital he began to experience these special abilities and became Ghost Man and continued to fight crime with the police.

------------------- November's MAG: 'Contest' by Riaise -------------------



  The Gourmet
A cultural experience of an adapted 50's comedy radio show.
Download The Gourmet

Background:
Those that remember Hancock's Half Hour will understand the comedic content. The series was written by the great duo Galton and Simpson between 1954 and 1961.
The show started off on radio and it is this period that I chose to pay homage to the show.
The episode I chose was called 'The Gourmet' and as far as I am aware it was never made for television.
The script for this game has been adapted and amended to suit the game idiom.

This is more of a cultural experience than a game although there are a few interactive elements along the way like choosing items from a menu. Put the dog out, draw the curtains, Sit back, relax and indulge in pure comedy genius....

Characters:
There are three central Characters:
* Tony
* Sid
* Bill

Tony is a short, stout man who owns a terraced house in Cheam. He is a bachelor and lives alone. He has a lower than average intellect but fantasizes that he has a much higher intellect and believes he knows about things more than others. He believes he knows about Kipling, Byron, Shakespeare, Dickens and about all the famous artists when in fact he knows very little apart from what he's read in Reader's Digest. He has very few friends as they can see right through him. This never stops him trying to impress people. He often lodges out rooms to people so he can 'educate' them in the finer points of food, art and literature.

Sid is a street-wise man who has been around the block a few times. He is a wheeler and dealer and is often involved in petty crimes though nothing major. He lodges with Tony as the rent is cheap and he can often wrap Tony around his finger. He often gets Tony involved in his schemes which generally fail much to Tony's bemusement.

Bill is an Australian and is a 'Tag along' man who has very few friends and often tags along with who ever he can. Ever since he met Sid in a boozer he has tagged along with him. He often falls in with Sid's schemes. He also lodges with Tony from time to time. Tony hates Bill calling him 'Tubs' which he does every time.

Story Line: Sid meets a man in a pub who is a promoter of eating contests. Sid's mind immediately draws to Tony who loves food and says he is a gourmet. Always looking for a quick buck Sid talks Tony into entering the eating contest. Enter Steam-Shovel Tony!

Scenes:
* The Restaurant
* The Extraction
* The Contest
* The Finale

Conspiracy: Below-Zero

After 10 months on the back burner this game has finally been released...

FBI agents Malden and Leech try to conclude another baffling conspiracy case that the government won't acknowledge.

This conspiracy involves a myth that Hitler was frozen in an ice chamber (known as project 'Below -Zero') to be brought back in a future time. It was body doubles who committed suicide in the bunker that fateful day on 29th April 1945.

A letter arrives at the FBI claiming that the myth is in fact true.

Who is the mysterious smoking guy?

Did Hitler really die in the bunker that day? Is project 'Below zero' just a myth?

"The truth is here. Trust no one. We are ready to believe."

* Are claims made by Dr Otto Gunter true?
* Who is the mysterious 'Smoking' Man?
* Can you thwart being fed to the sharks?
* Does the ice chamber really exist?
* Playable Jukebox with various songs.
* Fully voiced.

Hi,

I'm using GetTextHeight to determine if String text should go into label one or label two.

This works fine except that the length of any String is not checked first to see if its full length will fit into label 1 and subsequently if it's too long then the text gets cut off.

Code: ags

{
  int height = GetTextHeight(LNotes.Text, LNotes.Font, LNotes.Width + 1);

  if (height >LNotes.Height)
  {
  LNotes2.Text=LNotes2.Text.Append(" Brother Tingwell has a shard of stained glass embedded in his robe.");
  }
  else if (height <LNotes.Height){
  LNotes.Text=LNotes.Text.Append(" Brother Tingwell has a shard of stained glass embedded in his robe.");
}
}
 


I'm looking for a way for a String to carry over to label two if it exceeds the full height of a label one.

Cheers..

Hi I have my characters SayAt at the top of the screen.

This all works fine... that is until I call Esc, F5 or F7 ... When I save/load or cancel the SayAt Drops down the screen.

There are no gui's in the way.

Possible reasons?

Cheers
