I don't know how, but that damned Global Finder webpage always pops up when I bring up IE and I never even made it my homepage...
I've set it to about:blank about a hundred fucking times now (it works until the next time I use the computer)...how do I get rid of it? Is there any top secret CIA trick to this or what?

Thanks in advance,

I'm not really familiar with which servers are better or worse, so I'll leave that to everyone else that does.

I figured this would be a great topic for people who are looking for a host since that question is asked a lot.

I thought of this earlier today, although I won't need it for my current games, but thought it would be very useful for other users.

A command that would loop specified music/SFX files is what I'm thinking about. Something like:

PlaySndtrack(music1, music2, music3, music4, music5);

I think this would be useful for Vegetable Patch Turbo Extreem games, shooters and so on. It could even be used for let's say, if the programmer wanted to have a soundtrack loop for a music store or something in their game. It could even be used for sound effects...

Just an idea I came up with today. It could most likely be done with scripting anyway, but just thought I'd bring it up

Hello to you all.

I was wondering, Chris, if you'd be able to up the user modes a bit? I know there are nine, but I have several other graphics I'd like to use, but have their own mode. Would this be possible? I know it's a minor thing, but it would be very useful for various cursor changes

My grandmother is in the hospital. Last night she was rushed in for emergency surgery. The doctor told her that she only had a 40% chance of surviving the surgery and a definate death if she didn't have surgery. I thought for sure I'd seen the last of her. Today I visited her in the hospital and though she didn't look that good, it was a huge releaf knowing that she was ok (as far as we know). I cried like a baby tonight. I really got thinking. Why don't I visit her when I know I've got the time and probably should? My sisters live damn far away, and it seems they visit her and gramp more than me and my brothers, and we live right next door. Her near death opened the eyes of me and my brothers. We all love her right to death, and can't picture living on without her around. Tonight also got me thinking. What do I have to look forward in my life? My grandparents dying? My brothers dying? I don't want to live through that pain. It seems like there's nothing but misfortune in my future. What am I going to do without my brothers? I'd be lost. I always think that I'd like to die before everyone else does because I don't want to go through that pain...I honestly wouldn't know how to deal with it, or myself. Is it selfish? Is it selfish to want to take my life just so I don't have to deal with it? I realize that of course they don't want to see me die, but that's just me, one person, they are more than one. My siblings are much older than I am, I often wonder why I was even born...why the hell am I so much younger than everyone else? One brother I know has cancer...it's just started and he hasn't told anyone else but me...and my other brother just doesn't care about anything anymore...he's not a depressing person, don't get me wrong, but he'd be the first out of all of us that would commit suicide, or be killed in a drunk driving accident. He's a partier, and doesn't seem to hold a relationship that well. Every time it seems he finally falls in love with his mate, she fucks him over. It's happened all his life and it's getting to him...it's fucking scary.

I'd also like to take this oppertunity, while I'm half in the bag, to say sorry to everyone. I'm sorry to everyone that I've caused to lose respect in me, or just plain dislike me all together. One good example would be that damned Rap comment I made a long time ago. I ranted on about how much I hate rap and rappers and how they're all the same and so on...of course I was drunk at the time and shouldn't even have wrote a goddamned thing. And one person I know for sure who was offended was Eric. I'm sorry, man. I gave you and everyone else the wrong impression about me. I'm not racist. I shouldn't have said that shit. Just because I don't like rap, doesn't mean everyone else should hate it, you know? I realize that. I know that it wouldn't be one of the most popular music genres in the world if tons of people didn't like it. So if it's that popular, than it can only mean one thing right? It must be good. I know that I don't like it, but that doesn't mean that it isn't good. I remember saying something ignorant like, "...they are the most stereotypical assholes...(blah blah)..." and every fucking time I remember that I feel like a major fuckin dickhead. Everyone has there opinions about everything and I shouldn't in no way have expressed mine so harshly.
All I'm getting at is that I'm sorry about my stupid comments that I might make that might make you feel uncomfortable or whatever. I hate having enemies and that the last thing I want to do with this community since everyone here is the greatest.
I'd also like to take a speacial oppertunity to say sorry to the Squink-man for not participating in his PF2 demo and beta testing...I haven't had much time.

Damn, I'm just rambling now. Hopefully you've made something of this topic. I'm going to bed.

[Recommened File Type:]

Man, this thread is obviously well needed. Hope people read this one... *coughunliketherulesthreadcough* (lol)

Recommened File Type:
PNG
JPG
GIF
Do not try and show us BMP's! They are too big! It takes forever to view them...

The Coding:
1. Simply do this (without spacing):

[ url ]http://www.yoursitegoeshere.com[ /url ]

...that will make a link. Whatever is inbetween [ URL ] and [ /URL ] will be shown.
2. Or if you want a link name and not show all the link junk (like "Download Here"), do this:

[ url=http://blarblar ]Download Here[ /url ]

Easy.

The Lazy-man Way to Upload Pics:
Go here to read Neole's sweet AGS contribution and quickly upload your pics!
*which reminds me to stop using it so much...

The TXT Trick:
The other way is to link from your site. But if it doesn't allow what they call "hot linking", like geocities, I've learned a cool trick for them tight-asses.
What I do is when I upload a PNG or JPG image into my filemanager, I rename it to TXT. That way they can be shown here. My avatar is a good example. Check it's properties.
(NOTE: Some browsers might open them as TXT files instead of images)

The Anonymizer Way:
There is a cool thing called Anonymizer that you can also use for your site that doesn't allow hotlinking. Just simply put http://invis.free.anonymizer.com before the images address. Most people use this trick.

Hope this helps you.

The Life of Marty Shore
The game is about, you guessed it, a teenager named "Marty Shore". He's almost a perfect model of my personality, and the game itself is very inspired by my favorite adventure, "The Adventures of Willy Beamish".
The object of the game is to get the girl "Julie Fraser" to be Marty's girlfriend. So just imagine all the wierd predicaments you'll get into.
The story is told through Marty's eyes. He'll narrate throught the game. Remember that show "The Wonder Years"? Like that. As you meet new people during the game, Marty will let you in on who they are and what he thinks of them, the same goes for locations etc...

Here are some images:

The End

Mmm, mathclass. What a great way to end the day. There's Dexter (the one with the crazy hair) sitting at his desk not knowing really what the hell is going on, or what Ms. Larson is writing about. Only if he'd pay attention and stop drawing pictures of carnavorous mountain goats tearing village people apart. Triangle Omnibus what?? Hinglebender who? Screw him!1!
The first in the "The End" series. In this episode of "The End" Dexter (the protagonist) accidently discovers that the whole school faculty are aliens in human "constumes" and are plotting to destroy the human race to inhabit the earth as their own in order to save their species.
The Storyline for this game is around 60% complete.


Evil Night

Night has fallen. The dead have risen. Every pet we've loved has turned against us. Every animal we've feared now hunts us. The first game in the series about the end of the world.

The Legend of Leitor's Edge


(Lay.ter)
Seth Reece and a couple of his friends get talking one night. The subject of legends and myths come up.
The most popular legend amoung the people of the town is the one about Leitor's Edge. It is said that a man, decades ago, jumped off that cliff, which is located just on the outskirts of town, in an attempt to committ suicide. His body was never found, like he just dissapeared. No trace what-so-ever. Some say that he was sent to an alternate reality. Some say he was sent through time. It is also said that there is a book written about it somewhere, though this book was never presently witnessed first hand. Supposedly in this book are stories told by survivors that have tried it and came back. Some didn't return until several days later after plunging into the water. The legend claims that this "portal" can only be accessed during the last hour of the summer solstice and is located directly under the cliff's peak just below the surface of the water.

Fact or Fiction?
Seth is about to find out...

(this screenshot with the house in it is going to change since the BG is a work in progress)


NO RELEASE DATES ON ANY GAMES
Whichever one comes out first depends on my mood and any possible (if any) motivation from you all.
You can put your opinions on which game sounds best and which game you'd like to play most, here.
I decided to create this games compilation since I seem to be jumping from project to project every time my mood changes. All these games will be completed, just not right away since I'm making all of them bit by bit. If I get bored with one, I stay busy by working on another...

I won't be on the forums much anymore, so the main point of this thread is to show what I've got going. I hardly have any time anymore to work on them and I'm just unmodivated. I've been thinking of saying the hell with AGS all together, but why would anyone do that? That's crazy.
So in anycase, I hope at least 1 person is looking forward to 1 game.

Main Characters:

       

Hirum (Hi.rum):
Hirum is an orphan who unfortunately (or is it so unfortunate?) got transformed into a monkey as part of an evil scheme. He's a mischiefous 13-year old who loves adventure. He somehow managed to escape the clutches of Dr. Glumpkin and found Allie. Now his goal is to return to the Doc's secret laboratory and transform himself and the other orphans back to normal...hopefully he can pull it off with Allie's help.
Allie O' Leary:
Coincidently, Allie loves things that are potentially dangerous, which drives her to want to help Hirum even more.
Dr. Lumpkin Glumpkin:
Here we are, just another evil scientist who wants to take over the world. He's got this kooky plan to use evil monkey slaves to do his dirty work, but he must start small and gradually make his way up, so he's going to start his rein in Bloomerdale (Allie's home town) and Oaksdale (Hirum's home town).

2.26.03 - First promotion of MW and finaly a final look for Dr. Glumpkin.
3.2.03 - Added "This game will sport:" section on this promotion...
3.11.03 - I've recieved Squinky's frogger-type mini game, and with a few more features, it'll be perfect for a specific event that takes place early in the game. Also, more background designs are being started (finally).
3.23.03 - Updates so far: Custom GUIs, cursors, interface, up & down walking views, text box.
Erm, Squinky and I aren't going to use the frogger idea after all, don't know what we'll do with it as of yet. But for the "races" (that "specific event") Squinky is still going to help with a mini game type of shmeal...more race-like.
3.24.03 - All I have to do before the DEMO is officially in production, is finish the options menu. I'll be able to finish that today. NO PROBO MOJUMBO!!1
3.25.03 - DEMO oFFiCiaLLY started. I got another cool idea for something today that'll be pretty cool that wasn't in the plans before. So hopefully it'll work right when I program myself to death.

Right here...

Some are kinda lame, but I like the graphics. My favorite is the Faith Hill zombie.
