What's keeping you from grabbing a screenshot and loading it into a paint program?
Wrong forum, btw.

Well, it's a 256-colour game, yes? A screenshot would be at the colour depth he's running his OS at.

It's obviously just me then, but I find the original post highly offensive.

Rap or not, it is clearly hate speech and discriminates against various peoples on the grounds of sexuality and gender, amongst others. I don't appreciate seeing abuse of this kind on an otherwise friendly forum (especially one where the minimum age is 16!). At the very least, it violates the first two golden rules.

I have already asked for this to be removed, but I will leave it up to the mods to decide if this is necessary. I am simply putting my opinion on public record.

Well, it might not be just you, but it's so badly written it's just not possible to take it seriously.

And Icey... well, if it is not you, nor mog.net, then who is it? I do note you don't say you don't know them... and indirect drama is just as bad as direct drama, you know.

I'd love hear microsoft sam rapping this over a beat

The robot from ! maychance? Though the guy who did Count Cu... sorry, Can't, would be fun too!

Ooh, photo-realistic backdrops (or are those photos?)! It's looking pretty promising so far. Good luck with this one!

You know, just calling them "RC" instead of "Final" sounds better.

Waiting for actual release now. Going to reinstall Lazarus, too.

[There isn't tween support for the newer features of AGS 3.2 yet.]

There isn't tween support for the newer features of AGS 3.2 yet. I know there's some new features that could probably be tweenable but I haven't had a chance to look at it. Let me know if you'd like to see any of these features available in 1.3.

3.2's changed music system also results in an error message when I imported Tween 1.2 into an AGS 3.2 project.

Tween.asc(282): Error (line 282): Undefined token 'SetMusicMasterVolume'

SetMusicMasterVolume(Lerp(this.fromX, this.toX, amount));

Doesn't seem hard to fix it up, just onerous (if you don't want to change the relevant backwards compatibility option).

I wnet nuts triyng ot track down a program that can create FLIC files

The newer version of this Fast Movie Processor is called :  VideoMach 2.3.3

CNET has it available for download: http://download.cnet.com/VideoMach/3000-2194_4-10379917.html

Ummm, that's thread necromancy right there...

Picked up another unwilling assistant on the way, did he? Heh! Looking good.

The only weapon which could kill Lord British (never mind the bronze plate above the throne room door!). Fun times with that.

Think I have Lazarus around somewhere... sounds like it might be time to crack out my copy of Dungeon Siege again (I brought it solely to play U5!).

First of all, thanks for spotting a reliable way to reproduce that "XmlException: An error occurred while parsing EntityName" crash. I've had quite a few Error Reports submitted but not managed to reproduce it until now -- I'll fix it.

As for Character.Tint, you can't use it to lighten the character, only re-colour and darken it.

The Light Level is a separate option which can brighten the character but doesn't support colour tinting.

So the effects aren't cumulative?

Edit: Bah, got so wrapped up in my bitching that I forgot to mention that I've been playing Puzzle Bots lately and I think it's a wonderful example of how a short game can become the prototype/proof-of-concept for a full length game.

You mean Nanobots, surely?

[Remember, the minimum age here is 16 - if you're unable to act that age, don't post.]

Problem solved?

new to this,transfred from ags

Oh, those poor people. Think somebody should warn them?

And from the posting page (with emphasis):

Three golden rules:
1. Is your post interesting, helpful or funny? If not, don't post it.
2. Post in a mature manner. Remember, the minimum age here is 16 - if you're unable to act that age, don't post.
3. If you're not a moderator, don't pretend to be one. If a thread needs to be moved or locked, the moderators will deal with it.

Okay, guys fixed. Re-uploading in a couple of hours. I did a workaround.

What thing(s) have been fixed?

It's not bad for what it is. Not really sure I'd call it an adventure game though, really. But it's an amusing little diversion. Hopefully, if they make more of these, they'll take on board what works and what doesn't.

I agree with Alan.. although I phrase my agreement in a less aggressive fashion.

Have either of you thought there might be other (possibly commercial-related) reasons to retain compatibility?

Ahem, here's a mention at the RETROREMAKES!!

SEE IT HERE

Good one!

Hello.

I need to move a NPC character to multiple coordinate locations.

I need him to move to location A then B then C and so on and so forth.

But I do not want the script to be blocked as I want the player character to be doing stuff as the NPC is moving around.

So i cant use walk or move with a blocking feature.

I thought about using an int and with each number added having it to tell it to then go to the new location but I cant do that without blocking eighter.

Whats the best way to script it so the NPC moves around to all these multiple locations and does not block script.

Is there a reason you can't use eNoBlock?

I know Graphical Variables are an old concept. However when compiling a game from 2.72 to 3.xx, AGS manages to convert all of them into IntVar_ecc. Which is great, except for those

SetGraphicalVariable("NAME");
or GetGraphicalVariable("NAME");

Ah ok. Yeah, it would be nice for that to happen automatically, but there are so few 2.x games that use GRaphical Variables at this point that it's probably not worth the hassle now.

On a serious note, just release as is.  And work on all the next bugs and features for the next release IMO.

Yes, this is my plan. However, there's still an issue with backwards compatiblity with the audio system that I need to investigate; I don't want to release a Final version that has a regression and breaks old games that are still using the old audio commands.

Any ETA on how long it'll take you to stamp out the regression?
