I know this thread is old'd but, if anyone can tranlate czech, I'd love to know what this and this say so I can post translations on my website.  Thanks.

@larcie: I'm not sure why the cryo pod screen wouldn't turn on if you put in the right battery code.  Double check the code.

The code is:

@Eli: The brand-new xii games website has a link to a .zip version!

How about cloud?

A quick google quickly identified the language.  That's actually Urdu, the language of Pakistan.  The meaning... no idea.  But the first line seems to also be the name of a song.  These may be lyrics...

Then look a whopping TWO POSTS UP where Rui posted a working download link and don't bump old threads!

Excuse me.  I live in Japan.  Could you please explain to me what that word means?

Haha.  I just noticed that on the front of the CD coverslip, the screengrab that they chose to go under the "Free Games!" label is a picture of the main menu from "anna."  It's about the most boring picture they could have chosen from any one of these games...  Just a white background with the word "anna" on it, and the control GUI.  Sheesh.   :  I love their design sense!

On the copyright issue: It's shakey.  When "Anna" was published on the coverdisc for Level they were nice enough to send me an email asking for permission first.  It's very simple to send an email to ask, and Microsoft should have done this.  The README.txt included with my game says "If you would like to re-distribute this game, please leave all documentation including this file and the game's manual where they are.  Do not alter any files.  Also, send me an email at {my email} to inform me about any re-distributions.  Thank you."

On the other hand, I don't care!  It's so cool to have your game included with major magazines!  Yay!  Plus they've properly credited the developers and given website links.  So, it's not like they're claiming ownership of the game.

Big thanks for the heads up LimpingFish!

And that's "Rukii Airia Tomaroru" in Katakana.  But I second Kinoko: that's no Japanese that I know.

I also downloaded the game before Geocities went down.  The game is in English, and it seems to be King of the Hill related, I just have no idea what the title has to do with it.

However, the game seems to be riddled with typos, poor graphics, and questionable gameplay.  It could use a lot of work.

What about people who are against the institution of marriage altogether because it promotes heteronormativity? Are they acting entirely on religious beliefs?

You're referring to people who want to stop marriage altogether because it forces women into "traditional female" roles (cooking, cleaning, and bearing children) and men into "traditional male" roles (working, watching sports, scratching themselves)?  Shouldn't these people (all five of them) be for gay marriages because they don't promote these roles?  I guess I'm just confused at how your example applies....

Unless it was a joke.  In which case... har har!

Raggit,  what you're saying is that you can't believe that the Christian god exists.  Remember, there are more than one interpretations on this Earth regarding what god is and what she wants, and it's not a sure thing that any one of them is correct.  God may exist and be something completely different than any religion believes.

I personally don't know if a god or gods exist.  And it's not something that keeps me awake at night, because like you, I just can't believe that god could be such an asshole.

I suppose while I'm here, I should throw in my two cents regarding the original topic.  Bible-based legislation does exist in America.  It's spreading and it's unfortunate.  The problem with trusting an ancient book for your laws is that people can learn from their mistakes and the mistakes of others, while a book doesn't.

For example, I  think the current hot topic regarding the mix of church and state is gay marriage.  There are no legitimate reasons that two people who love each other, but happen to be of the same sex, shouldn't be allowed to marry.  The reasons that people are voting such barbaric ideas into law are almost entirely based on religious beliefs.  And I'm not sure that the last sentence even needed the word "almost."

I think it's unfortunate that people believe that morality is dictated by religion, and moreover, that morality needs to be legislated.  The government should be enabling its citizens to enjoy thier life.  "Pursuit of happiness" and all that.  It should not be taking away freedoms for the sole reason of furthering a religious agenda.

I stand corrected.  Checking my grammar reference, either way is correct since there is no hard rule.  Thanks!  What a piss poor English teacher I am.

Just wanted to point out, since no one had yet: It should be "Biblos' Magic Goods" not "Biblos's Magic Goods."  Unless of course it's on purpose, in which case, I'd suggest also making a letter backwards or something to better enforce it.

Well, I can see that you're at least using the line tool now.  And that is an improvement.  But still, your backgrounds lack detail and look like they have been made in a manner of minutes.  If you spend a bit more time with each one, AND ZOOM IN when you're drawing them, I think you'll find that the quality goes up exponentially.

One MAJOR improvement that I'm seeing here, though, is that I can clearly see where the entrances and exits to the room are.  In 2010, the worst part of the game is trying to figure out how to get out of each room because you chose a random corner to be the exit with NO CONSISTANCY.  These are much better in that regard.

I'll let the other more art inclined people give you more specific advice.

InventoryQuantity property
(Formerly known as character[].inv, which is now obsolete)

int Character.InventoryQuantity[]

Gets/sets the quantity of the specified inventory item that the character currently has. The array index is the inventory item number, from the Inventory pane in the editor.
Usually, you should use the AddInventory and LoseInventory functions to modify the character's inventory; however, if you need to add or remove a large number of items in one go, directly changing this array can be an easier method.

If you change this array directly, the on-screen inventory will not be updated. In this case, you must call UpdateInventory to see any new or removed items.

Example:

Display("The player has $%d.", player.InventoryQuantity[iCash.ID]);

will display how many inventory items of type iCash the player has.
See Also: UpdateInventory, Character.AddInventory, Character.LoseInventory

Something like:

Code: ags

if(player.InventoryQuantity[iSomething.ID]>0){
  //do something
}

This should help you talk to the ol' foreigners:

OK!

In english:

If I have xylot.net point to the IP address of my web site, then how would I go about setting up subdomains (like bts.xylot.net or themes.xylot.net? Would that be on the part of the domain registrar, or the web host?

To german:

Wenn ich xylot.net Punkt zum IP address meiner Web site habe, dann wie würde ich über subdomains aufstellen gehen (wie bts.xylot.net oder themes.xylot.net? Würde das von seiten des Gebiet Standesbeamten oder des Netzwirtes sein?

And just to check, back to English again:

If I xylot.net point for the IP address of my web site has, then as I over subdomains setting up would go (as bts.xylot.net or themes.xylot.net? On the part of would area be the registrar of births, marriages and deaths or the net landlord?

Hmmm... maybe not such a good idea. 

Babelfish is not so hot for communicating with the "ol' foreigners."  I mean, it doesn't even have an "American to English" option.

Yes, but I don't want to take the honor of announcing it away from Mr. Yoda.  I assume he'll post a thread in the Completed Games forum as soon as he gets my PM with the download location.  Until then, you'll just have to eagerly anticipate what can only be described as "an experience."

Being a nice guy, I offered to host the game for him since he couldn't find anywhere to put it...  I'll let him post the announcement with the download location, but having played the game, I think you'll find that it's a unique work of unbridled genius.

My wife recently got hooked on American Idol.  We live in Japan and we get each episode about 2 weeks after they run in America.  (I'd download the episodes, but my wife's English isn't good enough to keep up with a lot of the banter, especially Simon's accent.  And missing out on his comments sucks a lot [possibly all] of the fun out of the show.)  So we watch the show together 2 weeks after the initial American run, but unlike my wife, I'm a heavy internet user, which means I know exactly who's going to be eliminated each week because it's plastered all over the web.  That's really annoying. 

I always try to avoid spoilers, but they sneak onto different web and news sites that I read.    Even in headlines.  In previous seasons, when I didn't watch the show at all, I never noticed spoilers, but it must've just been because I didn't know who any contestants were.

And I know there's no way I'm going to be able to avoid learning who the big winner is two weeks early.

Leave it to SSH to answer a philosophical question of introspection with a wikipedia link... 

And Nik, I don't think calm would be the emotional opposite of angry.  Calm is kind of like the absence of emotions, yeah?  Perhaps angry <=> grateful or something along those lines.

Also, I'd say you can include Love <=> Hate.  Maybe Desire <-> Disgust...
