We are actively using Game Ranger with Peder,dkh and Crimson Wizard.
Ben, are you planning on using it?

GameRanger runs kinda bad for me due to my horrible net, but if you're all up for a game at some point and don't mind me dragging you all down lag wise, I'll make some free time for a match or two

Batch files make you 1337

Not knowing that SC2 hadn't been released yet makes you n00b


Way to achieve perfect balance, Ryan

It always amuses me when Jenny McCarthy's name gets mentioned when talking about medicine. Amuses me in a kind of horrified way (she's quite clearly Satan or something similar  (please, no religious debates or anything, it was just an expression people)).

Anyway, the flu sucks. Rest up and get well soon 

Hehe, now that I re read it that sounds like a rhetoric filled propaganda flyer! I sound like Peder talking about Gameranger  

Seriously though, Vince, your interface is one of the few interfaces in the AGS world that excites me and makes me feel like I can see The Future (and I'm not allowed to talk about one of the other ones )

I'm already in there chatting to you

We should get this moved to popular threads

Anyway, if anyone wants a game or two in the next few hours, I'm here and sick of working on my game 

I'm not really a horror fan, but I have to say you introduced the story in a very beautiful way. Really gave me the chills, nice work

After referring to the thread CW started in the Tech forum and annoying monkey for help, this all works perfectly. Big thanks guys, I really appreciate your help! 

Oh, haha, you mentioned me so I can talk in here without feeling like I am giving away secret squirrels I am not supposed to be.

Crimson:

I gotta say this man, despite what reservations you may have about dragging and dropping it all feels perfectly natural. I mean that. Maybe it takes a minute or two to familiarise yourself with the interface, but after that you realize that every other point and click adventure game ever made has been doing it wrong, and somebody has finally figured out how to do it right.

Ryan Timothy just asked me about this, so this is how I feel: If Resonance's interface doesn't change the way we make adventure games, then people are complete fools. The conventions we've been accepting all along as standard seem so outmoded and redundant compared to this that I can't help but frown when I go back to playing other games (including my own).

Sorry for the shameless drooling in your thread once again, Vince  

Edit: Also, congrats on getting the game sent in to the IGF comp, guys, and best of luck!

Daygame would be sweet.

Consider me in favor of this idea!

Just tried it, doesn't display the message.

Like I said, it isn't a big issue, just a minor annoyance, so if we can't get around it I am not going to be too upset.

If you're interested I can PM you the source (although I haven't bothered keeping my script very tidy this time, so it's a bit all over the place  )

Thanks for the game, dkh and Mazoliin, I had a blast (even though you both picked on me  )

I feel I'm starting to get the hang of this game again, so I'll be looking for a rematch soon (not that I expect to win against dkh, but you know, lose less pathetically)

[Count me in (well, for one game anyway)]

Finally got the beta compiled and sent to testers!

I have an early start in the morning and I haven't had much sleep.

Count me in (well, for one game anyway)

Khris, this seems perfect, awesome! It took a little bit of fiddling but it seems to work fine save for one confusing thing: It deselects just fine over other inventory items, but not when over a blank part of the inventory (Ie, space in the inventory that hasn't got an item in it). Am I missing something?

Thanks for your help so far 

Gosh dang it.

Now I feel like a stupid, I swear I had those mouse.x and mouse.y coordinates in before 

Ignore the second question, I am tired and stupid 

I haven't really done much playing around with GUIs, and today I finally got around to building the GUI for a game and thus have 2 little non urgent questions:

1. I'm not quite sure how, but I want to make it so that when over the inventory with the mouse mode as eModeUseInv a right click deselects instead of looking. I've thought about maybe trying to tie the on_mouse_click function to the repeatedly_execute_always function but can't think of how and am sure this is not the correct manner to approach it in. Any thoughts?

2. I've put in a GUI.GetAtScreenXY function. Usually I'd write a GetAtScreenXY (ie, for a character) function like:

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute_always()
{
  if (GUI.GetAtScreenXY != gInventory)
  {
    gInventory.Visible = false;
  }
}

But this doesn't seem to work with a gui, and I had to jump into the manual which suggested I do this:

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute_always()
{
  GUI *theGui = GUI.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
  {
  if (theGui != gInventory)
    {
      gInventory.Visible = false;
    }
  }
}

This is no problem - it does exactly what I want, however I'd like to know why I can't use the other method (if anyone knows) and what purpose the GUI *theGui (this seems to be setting a variable?) serves.

Thanks for your help

Hooray! My first StarCraft match against two other people!

I had fun, Peder and Ryan (and I saved the replay too )

Yeah, why not

Peder might join us as well (maybe)

Well Ben, I hope you did better than I.
Dkh is a freakin machine with starcraft.  Felt like he was building six times faster than I was.  My priorities were all mixed up and poor.   I have a lot to learn. lol

RIP my poor Terran buddies.

There is a sure fire way to find out, Ryan Timothy

I've had sleep and am ready for battle if you want a game  8)

I can't imagine watching Starcraft matches being the same without commentators excitedly yelling "DARKU TEMPLAR!!!" and then lots of other words I can't understand
