people live, people die, if I died no one would notice, there would be no way to know if I just decided to leave or died.

I think it just adds to a mystery, I'm sure this has already happened ie where the hell did jesus go

It's hard to judge stats over that smaller period of time, I'm sure there are booms every now and then, I know that after I released my MAGS game in Feb, I went straight onto my next project which already has over 1000 sprites, 77 rooms etc and I've posted much less in that time, I'm still a long way off finishing,

Also by those stats, June isn't half way through and there will be a few more released this month I think, so doesn't that mean production is increasing???

but that just proves my point in judging over a small period of months, has there been a steady increase over the few years since AGS started, that would make the stats more accurate.

Charity's can be helpful, but I didn't check this out,

as far as sports people, movie stars etc setting up charities, it is basically to make them pay less tax, a sly way of money laundering, that also makes them look like they are doing something good for somebody else, but in the end it just means they earn more money, and as if anyone needs more millions when they already have them.

shit they might go broke in a few years if they only have 100 million left

Yeah, I instantly recognised those graphics from codename: iceman, before I scrolled down,

also some from LSL2 including the 2 birds which is funny cause I think they are Australian native birds ie: a cockatoo (White one with yellow quiff) and a crimson rosella, they both fly around my house all the time. and also the cave in LSL3.

The game was ok considering I haven't seen the movie (nothing I couldn't stand more than to see tom hanks act alone with a volley ball, {his other movies are generally crap [well, his acting in them] and the other cast members usually make him look good}<how on earth has he got awards, very overrated> sorry to crap on, I know from the game you probably think the same about him.)

That aside the game was entertaining but a bit rushed, maybe a few messages for interactions (there is still ages till the end of the month if you need a few days or weeks off from it)

game play is fairly easy, which makes for a flowing story, if only tom got off the island that quick in the movie it might be worth watching.

Maybe you could make a second entry with the volleyball as the player character.

not sure if this is the problem but I had a game in 640 by 400 where I imported a 320 by 200 image for the background,

which in turn must scale it up to 640 by 400, cause I used the 320 by 200 image to make the mask to import and I think I got the same error you did,

so I changed the mask to 640 by 400 and it worked

Use the trident on the cave wall where you come out, before the sharkees come out.

I think the questions are pretty straight forward for someone with common sense that hasn't even read the rules.

What percentage of questions do you need to get right to become a member? maybe something more along those lines (depending whether you want more or less members)

or possible pre-requisite questions

otherwise, the people getting those questions wrong shouldn't be here or where just trying to be a smartarse with their answer.

General Discussion / Re:Is it Selfish?

It's not selfish as such, everybody's world revolves around them (physically) if they like it or not, I can't really add to what anybody else has said, obviously death is a part of the cycle of life, people have to die to leave space for the newbies (it's over crowded in some parts already)

You have to deal with death and illness in your life, just take the positives out of what you have gained from them and it can only make you a stronger person. The inevitable will always win out eventually, whether it be now or in the distant future. Everyday is a new adventure game
So live now and don't regret anything, everything happens for a reason, whether it be logical or what you want, is irrelevant.

Humans are very adaptable to situations, I hope your Grandmother pulls through, and I hope your brother can make it through the tough times too.

Life is a gift, use and abuse it while you can.

That's much more polished than the last time I heard them, and they've got a chick singing now too, she's got a great voice too.

I noticed the tour of Sydney next month, I'll have to go along to check em out Live.

I'll also go to the j's and vote in the net50

I also noticed the Bar on the Hill band comp final, Good luck

One of my mates bands played in that comp in 1996, the band was called Attack of the 30ft She Monster, and had a combination of Punk, Ska, Rockabilly and others. Jay from Frenzal even came up from Sydney to see the band (his sister played sex sax) I had to pick him up from Hamilton station.

They made the final but didn't win

I just noticed a couple of errors miguel,
don't initially set int INVPICKED to 5 or it will already be 5 which you don't want
and this line needs another "=" sign "if (INVPICKED == 5) "
otherwise all it will do is set INVPICKED to 5

this is what it should look like

//on top of your room script define a variable
int INVPICKED ;
//
//select Objects from the editor
//chose Interact Object
//chose RunScript

  if (INVPICKED == 5) {
AddInventory(x); ObjectOff(y);
}
else {
Display "I don't need it now";
}

if it happens outside the screen you could use a globalint

eg

In the global script after this line "function game_start() {"

SetGlobalInt(10,0);

Then in the room

  if (GetGlobalInt(10) == 5) {
AddInventory(x); ObjectOff(y);
}
else {
Display "I don't need it now";
}


When you look at object or do something in another room to trigger what you want

SetGlobalInt(10,5);

Hints & Tips / Re:Nick it & Run!
Sat 07/06/2003 07:25:11
I figured out my last question, The bb's were the key

i found a bug when doing something you probably wouldn't normally do, but when the elixer is on vlads table, I tried to pick it up and got this error, that exited the game.

Error: prepare_script: error -2 (no such function in script) trying to run 'object1_a' (room 28)

Edit: I finished it now, excellent work, tough puzzles,

just need to fix a couple of small things like
getting items twice eg, coin, magnet, smoke machine, string, photo (coin will stop that) not sure about others

also the walkbehind areas in the photo booth, if you walk in there, you can see the edges of gurbish, it works alright for the animation of getting the photo though.

you walk to hotspots when you talk, look or other interactions which makes him speak and then exit a room eg. look at curtain with bb's, talk to door in shop and many other places (that's just a personal preference, I don't like to move a character to a hotspot unless it will perform an interaction)

also that dialog with obby after you have already put her message in the box

Hints & Tips / Re:Nick it & Run!

great game aussie, I've finally got round to playing it and I didn't want any hints, but I'm pretty stuck now and I've done a fair bit of stuff, probably the hard stuff and not the easy stuff.

The answer might be already answered but I didn't want to get clues i didn't need

Spoiler
I need to know what to give to Ming to get the cup holder, I can't get the ketchup from Ming or Hammad, I guess I need to know what to do with ming.

I have given a bottle of ketchup to marty, I guess i need the other two saches for the elixer, I have smoked out the people from the HOF, but figure I need something to go inside like a gas mask so I don't get anthrax, I've given my passport to vlad, I guess I need the elixer then nick it and run.

I somehow got a screw, which just appeared in my inventory, not sure how it got there, I put obby's message in the box, but don't know if anything is supposed to happen, also sometimes when I talk to her again I get a dialog option about the note to put in the box again, but the dialog doesn't finish and you just get the other dialog to look at the poetry again.

It took me sooo long to figure out how to get the magnet and also notice the boxes in the storage room, (they just look like foreground)

I must be missing an object, cause I can't give anything to ming, I thought there might be something behind the curtain at the blues bros but whenever i have any interaction with the curtain it just takes me back out of the room. just a small hint is all I think I need to finish this frustrating (excellent) game.

I edited my post after you checked so just try it with what superscottishhero, and if you have any other problems look at my last post
#1295
Yeah, Your missing the end "}"

but also youmight need to fix this bit so it looks like this:

if ((button == 9) & (game.top_inv_item < game.num_inv_items - 8 )) {
game.top_inv_item = game.top_inv_item + 4;
}
if ((button == 10) & (game.top_inv_item > 0)) {
game.top_inv_item = game.top_inv_item - 4;
}
}
}


just remember every time you open "{" you also need to close it with "}"

The extra ones might not be necessary but sometimes in some script that I've done it doesn't work properly if you don't add them in even if it saves with no errors

It was a joke, I didn't send it, but it would probably get on air if those dimwitted guys saw it.

Holy crap, that one that Shattered Sponge did of DG, if that is him, It is Fatty Vautin in his usual clothes (he's an ex rugby league player that hosts a footy show in Aus) I just emailed it to the footy show
