Hello, i have made a year ago the start of a game called Losta the Lost soul. This game has never been finished however i've learned a lot.

I had lots of problems when i started AGS and now i am gonna start again from the beginning, most of the things i have to learn again.

But i want you guys ask some questions about AGS how i can build several parts of the game on a efficient way.
for example characters where hard too build because it took so incredible much time, and i did'nt even know f i did it right!
Mayby i could build characters more easy with help of some great little programm.

This kinda questions i wonna ask you how can you do things on the most easy way.
Here some questions:

1  How do i build ingame moving characters? most easy and fast way!

2  How easy is scriptwriting? It is important for the gameplay i guess.

3 How do i build a intire self-made GUI?

4 Are there video/picture Tutorials? There are so much people using this program, mayby this is a good idea? For example maya has lot of        video tutors.  ( i saw there are some tutorials on the forum but wich are the best?)


These are a few simple questions for someone that uses the programm for a while allready please help ad mayby i can get a MSN adress to so i can ask someone how to do some things?

Thanks allready

I have used rpgmaker, For me it as a good lesson! But i always did not know what a variable was!

I know you had them in Rpgmaker but also in this software! I hear from people it is hard too discribe what a variable is! I know a variable is something important while building a game.

I just cannot find the anser about this! I hope somebody could tell me more about variables and events,, But a event is thesame as an interaction right?

But hopefully someone can explain me how a Variable works,, when you need it etc.
Thanks again!

Ok i am working on a game bt there are a few things i don't understand!
And yes i used the search function and the manuel,,, but i just ask for some help. It is not that easy too build a game while you have too teach yourshelf how the programm works!

Ok i explain some things i am fighting with for at least 2 days now!

- I have characters on my backgrounds but! I want them too play their animation every 10 seconds! Standard it is  1minute?? I don''t know but hopefully somebody can help me with this!

-Second question! This is about the look mode interaction mode And if you talk too someone! etc etc,,
You guys know that if you talk too somebody it is normal too walk to that person and move your face to that guy!

But if i look at something or talk too someone? My main character just stays where he is without interacting with the hotspot or character, not very realistic.

I know about the set-to walk points but they only work for the look at button!
If you guys place some scripting codes, please tell me where too place them because i still don't know where i have too place them.

Allready thanks for your help!

Okay i have allready searches everywere but could not find the anser! I've got two Dialogs connect too each other.
But there is only one way too get too the last anser because i have placed a lot of stop commands in the dialogs!
But here is my question!

After the last good anser i want a reward in my inventory! But how can i do something like that? Do i have too put some script text in the dialog screen (would be easy) Or what?

Hopefully i can get my anser now.

Hello,

A new game is in production, my first game! This game is based on a comic of mine, it tells a story about a young guy named Losta who is hold in a prison for people with lost memories, so people who don't reconize their family anymore or their home!

The goverment thinks those people are not safe for the daily population, so lock them up!
You follow one story about one prisoner who wants too know who he is! Where he comes from,,, o yeah.
You know nothing at the beginning of the game! Hmmm,, but you have some great hints in the beginning!

Here some things that come back in the game:

- Great own made backgrounds!
- 640x480 graphics!
- A strange feeling when you play the game, you enter a real other world,, you will feel the emotion!
- Music (right now no own made music)
- A great story! Origional and fresh!
- speech (in the future)


Some screens from the game




I hope you enyoy it! SEE YOU SOON!

I have searched everywere on the forums and looked in the manual, ALso i wanna say the manual and these forums are realy great! thhey are very very helpfull for help! But enough about that

I am making an intro for my game, i am learning every day more and every day this program is more fun too use!

It looks impossible too use a gif file,, i once sucseed! But the sprite was changed in different colours and the animation was just changed into a strange pixel mess,,

But i was trying again to import a gif file but no!! An ERROR!

Here is the error message(screenshot):

Sorry, an error has occured.

We're sorry, the AGS editor has encountered a serious error and must shut down. You will have lost any changes made since you last saved your game.

(Exception 0x00000000 at EIP=0x00000000, AGSEDIT v2.72.652, SIP=26)

But how do i import gif files without changed animations or errors?

Because the sprite manager is allready a mess because i dont know how i delete sprites and stuff etc,, i am still in a state testing the programm how to use it so already thanks for the answer.

I am very new with AGS and started a few days ago with the tutorials:) But know i am working on a own made game!
I have made 2 characters so far,,,

But after i placed the sprites for the second person in the loops (views)
I dont know how i can get those into the characters list! Because in the characters list i have too import or export characters but the characters is allready build in the View editor!

How can i add these character too the character list?

View Editor Character too Character list how??

Allready thanks for the anser:P
