Game 600 x 800.

Any ideas as to why Narr not playing in full window?

game.narrator_speech = -1; // using NARR character

Code: ags

DisplayAt(30, 546,700, "&2 Are you ready to enter the Graveyard Mansion, lieutenant?");

All help appreciated.

Hi,

i recently moved up to win7.

I Downloaded 2012 essentials to get MovieMaker but it seems I need Shader Model 2 to run MovieMaker.

Can anyone assist?

cheers

Hi,

I have an intro that is based on the tween module fade in / out of images.  On top of this I have Music which I have scripted STOP when all tween's have finished.

However, ags does not always comply with this and sometimes the music does not end in the right place and very often cuts off as the room changes before it finished.

The problem is guaranteeing that the music ends at the right point (sync).

All help appreciated.

Hi,

having just set up win7 and installed correct graphics drivers I now have another issue.

After compiling the game and running from setup the win7 window seems to go 8 bit, goes black and then runs the game. The game plays ok.

This is a niggling issue.

Hi

I am having problems running games in full screen though it is ok in preview window.

I am using win7.

I am trying to run 800 x 600 16 color.

my graphics adapter states standard vga and neither dd or d3d work for full screen and are shown not available in dxdiag.

Have you come across this and did you manage to sort it?

Cheers

Hi,

I copied game files (from win XP) to my win7 computer. Installed 3.2.1 which is what i made it with.

I eventually got all the objects to show their sprites but after compiling the game will not run and just shows black window.

It was made with directdraw in mind. It is 800 x 600 16 color.

Any ideas to get the game back up and running as before?

cheers

Hi

The time has come to find a replacement for my old, yet once very loyal, Win XP computer which is slowly dying.

If I go for a Win 7 computer what should i look out for and what should I expect regarding AGS?

Cheers

Hi,

quote from punaman:
Labels used to have a 200 character limit, but this has been removed in the latest 2.72 beta (so long as you use the Label.Text="" approach)

I'm using 3.2.1.  I'm not sure what the character limit is for labels.

Anyhow, I have a gui set up with three labels (one for each page of a case note book). Each label is only shown if it contains text, which can be added in any order (page arrows will display).

What I am aiming to do is have ags do a live count of characters in a label and when it reaches the maximum automatically put the text into the next label etc.

Help much appreciated.

Hiya all

Re: Do you think I was right or wrong?

I had solely looked after my 3 sons until they left home when the were in their late teens (mother ran off for pastures new, though not green).

I had hoped that they would understand the basics of life. For most parts they have.

Anyhow, my eldest son is living with me again until he gets another place to live. I told him £45 per week all in.

Anyhow, yesterday (Friday) when he came home from work he told me that a late missed payment had caused his car insurance company to cancel his policy. He had already arranged to take his car to a mechanic to have certain things done ie oil leak and some other bits.

Now, this month I had to pay out bigtime and so I had to be careful with what the money that was left so my sons £45 was crucial.

He calmly told me he may give me something during the week but at the moment nothing (bearing in mind he had £1000 at his disposal). I told him that without his money we won't eat, can't cook or have any electric light.. nothing.. He then said his car was more important and I would have to wait for his keep of £45.

After an exchange of words he gave me his keep and was not a happy bunny.

We did sort out another car insurance company that evening that was quite cheap and the car is now covered.

My point is this:

Do you think I was right or wrong to confront my son about paying his keep?

Sometimes you can't do right for doing wrong.

Thanks for your opinions

Hi,

I was wondering, is there a way to open an audio file in game from the compiled folder and have it play in game?

I have a project on hold where I am making a kids game based around cooking. The kid selects a recipe (like a cake or pizza) and then makes it.

I would like to enable the kid to record their name etc that will be inserted into the game as speech.

cheers

[Edit:]

Hi,

I recently opened a game I was working on a few months ago and I noticed that the custom USER icon has defaulted to the windows icon though still runs the game.

Any ideas as to why this would happen?

cheers

Edit: Made a new USER Icon and still no go on this issue....

Version 3.2.1

Edit Edit: Changed setup to USER and USER to setup and still the same so the image must be ok and the problem lies within AGS.
