Hi Monsieur OUXX,

As of yet I have not been able to establish if laptop is 32 or 64 bit... it will be second hand.

The only info I got was that it was more powerful than the one I had.

I was told today (wed) that they will bring it over tonight for me to decide whether to buy or not...

It seems 64 bit is the way to go..as the ram can be far greater than 32 bit, that I do know...

But I won't know until I look at it..           and that the monitor is not tiny

cheers

Meanwhile, whilst I have my game up and running on my Desktop computer I'm going to have to transfer it all to my new laptop, when I get it today. I just hope that that is successful

Code: ags

SetTextWindowGUI(12); // simply change the gui number shown to the new text window you want to change to.

On 64 bit Windows you can't run 16 bit applications, which is a legit reason to stay on the 32 bit version.

Does that include running 16bit ags games?

I believe its Win7..

Won't know If I'll buy it until I check over the specs before I part with cash...

They told me its much better that the one I had in terms of specs..

cheers

Laptops....

32 or 64 bit if you had to choose?

Is that any disadvantages with 64 bit?

Cheers

Found drivers for graphics card and can now run 3d9.....

I'm 3 days behind and need to re-import some missing images and re-add some scripting so i'll lose another day...

Oh well, such is life

Hi,

I assumed that the guy that fixed the desktop computer and installed Win7 had installed drivers for the graphics card.....he hadn't.

Anyhow, I managed to find the correct Drivers and downloaded and now ok... I can run 3d9 now..

Game now runs fine

Hi

after my laptop was declared dead the repair men suggested getting my old desktop pc working...

He ended up installing win7 over the old XP...

Luckily he managed to with leads run data off my old hard drive to be able to access its data on desktop pc.

I had to download ags 3.4.0.16 i had previously used 3.4.0.15.

I managed to have it install ags in the Windows Dir...and editor opens ok.

It took a while to list the Templates I had pasted into the Templates folder.

Anyhow, I loaded up the Template and it was ok.

The monitor I now use is larger than the laptops.

The game res was set to 1280 x 1024, 32 bit and uses 3D9...Strtech to fit selected.

However, when i run the game it is extremely slow and not as it should be..or just stays black screen...

My lowest pc res is 800 x 600 and highest is 1600 x 1200...

Suggestive help appreciated..

cheers

EDIT: It seems that the pc is not picking up my videocard to run 3d9..

Hi guy,


a bit of good news for a change

A man came and diagnosed that my laptop was dead.... But he was able to use the HD to enable the transfer of data to another computer via leads.. At the same time he saw my old Desktop computer. Installed win 7 (from XP) ang got the internet working... Main thing now is allowing permissions by sharing and then its good to go..

Naturally the specs are lower than my laptop and its quite slower, what the hell, it works

I just need to grab stuff from my old hard drive like ags and we're good to go.. well in theory...

Better still when I get a higher spec laptop..

I may still be in this months MAG competition... sorry guys

Slasher returnsnn(laugh)

Mandle:

The laptop powers up and I can hear the hard disk and the blue light flashes on very occasionally but it does not go into startup...screen black and no signs of life in the monitor and pressing F5/F8 results in nothing.. I'm taking it into a shop today and hope to god there is something they can do or very least run the data onto a disk storage so I can copy setups and files to another computer...Otherwise I'm down the swanie without a paddle

Unless it gets fixed / get new computer you won't be seeing very much of me...

Cheers

Well, its an old Advent Roma 1000.

At the moment the power light comes on and the fan runs but no startup screen...

Anyone got a computer to spare free.. mine might well be dead?

VampireWombat,

And it's possible I might just completely drop the verb coin part. But it's easier if I start with the possibility than to decide to go back and add it. Changing interface midway through making a game is what caused me to make a total mess of May's game and unable to finish it.

I understand...

This sort of thing really should be fully planned at the start of creation... As you say, changing half way can cause you a total mess...

All I've managed to do is test to make sure that I can easily use the verb coin and verb list. It'll requite some tweaking, of course.

Is it really worth the time-consuming effort with the time restriction of a MAG competition?

But I wish you luck whatever you choose...

Daphne White is an nieve political jobsworth who has presented the 'House' with various censorship laws and these include the recycling of nudie books and other censorship laws that cause her constituency to protest in the 'House'.

A series of individual quests...

I have 3 rooms almost completed..

Adding more puzzles to this game...
