Hey there.
So, I've got this script in the global one:

function DisplaySubtitle(CHARID, string buffer){
   DisplaySpeechAt(160, 235, 320, CHARID, "%s", buffer);
   }

And it gives me an error on the string... I tried some other possibilities but failed to make it work :/ So, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there. I'd like to propose a few suggestions for AGS:

GetObjectTransparecy and GetCharacterTransparecy - You'd need those to make a cycle like an object or a character gradually appearing/disappearing etc
DisplaySpeechBackgroundAt and DisplayQueuedSpeechBackgroundAt - pretty self-explanitory, useful if you have a subtitle line at the bottom.

I hope that these are coherent.

There it is, featuring:
Apprentice II, 7 days a skeptic and MAGS Games review
The Find preview
Interview with herculean effort
An Article on non-linearity
And that's pretty much it.

I am currently having difficulty finding some plug-ins for AGS, the OtherRoom one in particular. If anyone does not know, a page for the plug-ins can be found here: http://www.agsforums.com/games.php?category=21 .I'd like to ask the plugin authors to add theirs for easier navigation. Thank you.

The first try never really worked but why not try again with AGS team challenge?

For anyone who does not know, AGS team challenge was a competition in which people were put in teams of 5(?) and had to make a game within three months. I think it is a great idea, and that it should be given a second try. What do you guys think?

Heh - here's an email I just got:

20 BOTHA CRESCENT,
SANDTON, JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRIAC

MD/CEO,

APPEAL FOR ASSISSTANCE


I know that this message will come to you as a surprise
since we don't know each other before, but for
purpose of introduction, I am ABRAHAM ZAD the Bank Manager
of AMALGAMATED BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA (ABSA).

There is an account opened in this bank in 1990 and since
1998 nobody has operated on this account again. After going
through some old files in the records, I discovered that if
I do not remit this money out urgently it would be
forfeited for nothing. The owner of this account is MR.
SAMUEL CARTER , a foreigner, and a miner at Kruger gold
co., a geologist by profession and he died since 1998.

No other person knows about this account or any thing
concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my
investigation proved to me as well that his company does
not know anything about this account and the amount
involved is (USD$35M) thirty five million
United States Dollars.

I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money
cannot be approved to a local bank here, but can only be
approved to any foreign account because the money is in US
dollars and the former owner of the account is MR.
SAMUEL CARTER a foreigner too.

I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as
we don't know ourselves before. We will sign an agreement,
but be sure that it is real and a genuine business.

Please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next
step to take immediately. Send also your private telephone
and fax number including the full details of the account to
be used for the deposit.

I want us to meet face to face or sign a binding agreement
to bind us together so that you can receive this money into
a foreign account or any account of your choice where the
fund will be safe. And I will fly to your country for
withdrawal and sharing and other investments. I am
contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner
with foreign account and foreign beneficiary.

I need your full co-operation to make this work fine
because the management is ready to approve this payment to
any foreigner, who has correct information of this account,
which I will give to you later immediately, if you are
capable and willing to handle such amount in strict
confidence and trust according to my instructions and
advice for our mutual benefit because this opportunity will
never come again in my life.

I need truthful person in this business because I don't
want to make mistake I need your strong assurance and
trust. With my position now in the office I can transfer
this money to any foreigner's reliable account, which you
can provide with assurance that this money will be intact
pending my physical arrival in your country for sharing. I
will destroy all documents of transaction immediately we
receive this money leaving no trace to any place. You can
also come to discuss with me face to face after which I
will make this remittance in your presence and two of us
will fly to your country at least two days ahead of The
money going into the account. I will apply for annual leave
to get visa immediately I hear from you that you are ready
to act and receive this fund in your account.

I will use my position and influence to effect legal
approvals and onward transfer of this money to your account
with appropriate clearance forms of the ministries and
foreign exchange departments.

At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 30%
of the total amount, 70% will be for me.

I look forward to your earliest reply through
TEL/FAX: 27-72-302-4106

Yours truly,

ABRAHAM ZAD

When I play a gmae with digital music, it sometimes stops playing tracks after the 3rd or 4th second. I have no idea what triggers this, or if it is an AGS bug - does anyone else experience the same problem?

As the AGS Ezine is growing, I will probably need a punctual and talented writer.
What for, I hear you say? Well, I can't find the time to play all the AGS games released. And the rate of games is much higher than last year. So, you want to be a writer for the AGS ezine? Send an email to vel@abv.bg telling why should you be the writer and attach a review of a game.
Thanks for participating in advance.

WOW!!!!
It's not as if the graphics are the most important part of the game, but look at this:

Even the low-res JPGs look great, can't wait to play Runaway 2!!!

Yep, that's it! I turn 16 today!!!

Lets wish Happy Birthday to the man who is four days older than me!

I recently transcribed a song by Asia, Arena. If you want to look at the chords, please do so.
If you know the song and you are a musician, please try to play it and tell me if anything's wrong with the chords.

Here's andrew Barksdale at the beginning of rise and fall. As you can see, he does not differ much from WWTLF. Problem is, that I want him to look good for the game .And before I start animating or drawing the front view, I need help/advice. I am aiming at a 'broken sword'-y art style, but I dont know where to start from, nor how. I'd be really grateful if anyone could give me a piece of advice.

Wouldn't it be useful for all if there was a templates category in the games page much like plugins? It is boring browsing through the forum pages to find a specific one.

So, I've been doing this WWtLF? prequel for a while now, and I decided to use close ups very often. Despite my modest drawing skills/especially characters/, I think that it would be better, for closeups give better detail andadd more variety. I will also add much animation and emotions to them /on the main character, mainly/, so that this time it's not only three frames of talking heads. Your opinions on that topic?

I think we've seen good closeups quite often, but my favourite ones are from "Shadow of the comet". They were immensely animated and the characters were really well drawn.
