Fun times were had by all except my troops, who lay now as smouldering piles of blue goo  :D

I'd really like to do this regularly, I forgot how fun this is  :D

Argh, what I really hate in RTS is micromanagement prevailed over macromanagement. I always wondered why must you control your units as if they were dumb robots or something, telling them every next move... in my opinion that defeats the sense of strategy and makes it rather action. This becomes really stupid in such games as Age of Empires, where not only your army is dumb as hell, but your workers need attention every half of the minute or so  :-X and yet that game is considered to be one of the best RTS....

As for SC, I passed both campaigns (first + expansion), but, to my shame, I usually just lowered speed down :).

Play Civ then  ;D

I love Civ and you don't even have to tell your dumb soldiers that they should probably shoot back at the guy shooting them every two seconds  :D

EDIT:

Alright, I'm expanded (yay battlechest) and patched (yay battle.net)

Which gateway should I use? (I'm connecting using my mobile phone as a modem, which hopefully won't cause any problems)

^^ does it even matter?

I tried playing a bit today.

Not so much rusty as... well... disintegrated. Still, I'm interested.

By which I mean I am interested  ;D

And as for the best time, well, that's an erratic variable ;)

What version should I use? I've got a fresh install with no patches or expansion at the moment...

Nice concept art!

Still really looking forward to this one :)
#1805
Oh well, I did it a different way around...

Spoiler
Took key from furnace with glass + blowpipe, went to bar, got water and put hanky in water, took wet hanky back to glassblowers and put on the hot key + glass, then picked it up and used hammer + chisel to break it

Maybe it is a bug then?

after you soak the handkerchief it should say "You put the glass back on the bar" and you should be able to click the stool and then click the exit to leave.

From the few Starcraft matches I've played, it's always been all about speed. Frantic clicking right from the word go and no stopping until someone types 'gg'.

I have a friend who has forced me to watch a dude named Bisu play, and if I remember correctly those dudes click a couple of times a second. The LAN matches I've played have always been a very intense experience.

Still, I'm not much of a player, and I can't play that fast  ;D

Not right now now, but it'd be cool to play StarCraft against people that I (kinda) know online if this became a regular thing! I don't have a cool internet connection, but I can't imagine StarCraft needs that much bandwidth?

Except, you know, I'm kinda the worst StarCraft player in the world. As in, it's actually more challenging playing against an AI Zerg player than it is playing against me. I've won a couple of LAN StarCraft matches before, but that was all through sheer luck or people playing as factions they don't usually play as to even the score a bit.

But hey, I've even got the StarCraft Battlechest sitting here (I just went and got it from the shelf) and it's the second time I've opened it, and realized it has stuff like the expansion pack and Official Strategy Guides and even a technology tree chart (Sweet Jesus I love charts and crap for games :D)! So I got all the gear I need, I think, and it'd be cool to get my bum kicked thoroughly online by other AGS people ;)

Come on, dkh, everyone know you made a platform game in AGS and are making your RTS and FPS games in AGS by clicking boxes  8)

I personally refuse to upgrade from AGS 2.72 as later versions are missing the 'Make My Game' function, which I think is a wonderful tool for people who are less experienced with scripting such as myself.

I've seen this game mentioned on Adventuredevelopers and A Hardy Developer's Journal and it looks interesting, but I keep destroying my monthly bandwidth as it is and your game is 80mb  :(

Advanced Technical Forum / Re: Leaving regions
Wed 28/10/2009 09:17:12
You might be able to get around this by using

Code: ags

if (Region.GetAtRoomXY(player.x, player.y) == region[1])
{
sound code
}
else ...


In your room's repeatedly_execute_always() script, instead of relying on the standard Region functions.

Depends on how you're changing the sound, possibly...
#1815
Your friend is CORRECT  :D
#1816
I like the look of this :)

Also there will be other turtles walking around on the same road so you cant hit them either...and you can also align yourself behind another turtle and "attemps to mate" with it "if that turtle is female + and in heat"....

Heh....

Suddenly, your signature seems to take on a completely different meaning.

Adventure Related Talk & Chat / Re: Graphics
Mon 26/10/2009 15:28:19
If the games are at a low resolution (like 320x240) or something, trying going into the winsetup file and setting the graphics filter to something like 2x, 3x or 4x nearest neighbor filter. I find with my computer that it blurs the graphics horribly if I do not do this, and yeah, it looks pretty terrible.

I hope this helps you out :)

If you're voting, please make sure you use the categories :).

If you're just giving out nice comments, then that's fine, but your comment won't count towards the final tally ;).

I like the textures on the walls very much. Especially the classroom.

I also like the name 'Icherus' very much.
