There are two ways:

You can set character clickable in the editor.
or use

cEgo.clickable = true;

somewhere in the script.

Honestly I don't see the point.

I do. Please continue!

Me too, pretty please continue


I hope someday somebody does a demake Monkey Island 4 so I can finally playit.
(yes, I haven't played MI4, I hated the way, Guybrush looked there.)

Happy Birthday, Scavanger! Keep on hacking about hackers

alternative method for refreshing the dialog surface

Nope - that's the way it's currently being done.

mouse click handling or something completely different

For a workaround you might want to explain what exactly you're trying to achieve. As far as mouse clicking is concerned, your options are very limited. If you don't want to trigger a dialog topic, you could run something in repeatedly_execute_always, which monitors your custom variable.

Happy Birthday, cultured man of mystery ! 'hope you're having a christmas elfboyish party!

Oh... and happy belated B'Day CJ!

Cool, thanks for sharing!
This brought my attention to a more elegant way of internationalisation, so I'd like to deliver verbs buttons in the most common languages (plus my own since I'm selfish )

In a first step, translating the GUI buttons (including options) would be great, so I've prepared a code block and it would be awesome if some native speakers could punch in their language

Same goes for the verb buttons themselves, I already included english, german and now also spanish.
So if anyone could grab that photoshop file, and create some verbs, that would be cool too. (Even more cool, if you could provide a little txt with the english translation of those verbs).

Anyhow, here's the code block.

Code: ags

// English
    OptionsTitle.Text   = "Options";
    OptionsMusic.Text   = "Music Volume";
    OptionsSound.Text   = "Sound Effects ";
    OptionsSpeed.Text   = "Game Speed";
    OptionsDefault.Text = "Default";
    OptionsSave.Text    = "Save";
    OptionsLoad.Text    = "Load";
    OptionsRestart.Text = "Restart";
    OptionsQuit.Text    = "Quit";
    OptionsPlay.Text    = "Resume";
    gPausedText.Text    = "Game Paused. Press Space to Continue";
    RestoreTitle.Text   = "Please choose a game to load";
    RestoreCancel.Text  = "Cancel";
    SaveTitle.Text      = "Please enter a name";
    SaveOK.Text         = "Save";
    SaveCancel.Text     = "Cancel";
    gConfirmexitText.Text = "Are you sure, you want to quit? (Y/N)";
    gRestartText.Text   = "Are you sure, you want to restart? (Y/N)";

If this is working out, I'd also like to provide default unhandled events, but of course that depends on the success of the first step.

Thanks in advance

Wow, you've really mastered facial expressions,  I've never seen such an emotional suitcase before

It also reminds me at Spongebob (in a good way), again expressions and of course the "squareness"


Great work and it fits the music/beat really well.

Avoiding work is my forte

Slightly off-topic: her dress looks like instant pyelitis (Nierenbeckenentzündung, had to look it up myself ).

And you might get in trouble having to draw her butt crack on the back-cycle because of these incredibly low low-riders

Lou's version has hills and the archive has the code

Also the joints aren't bending. You simply transforming and stitching doesn't seem to help here. You really consider to add manual shadows to underline the knee and elbow movement and to show which limb is in the front.
The clipping of the arms also looks odd.

please add me too:

I've only logged in once and still don't get what I'm doing (besides my mac mini is at its limits), but maybe I catch up

[again]

Argh, I can't get the Outrun theme out of my head... again.

Terrific work, Steve & Khris.

Haha, it has Peter Cushing in it. It can't be that bad

So Horror Express is on my schedule!

Happy Birthday Mr SickSelf! Now raise that postcount of yours and enter  MAGS!
Your steampunk game was way too good to hide in the woods now

Happy Birthday, Ben!

Awesome! I always wanted to code something similar myself to create remake of TechnoCop http://www.lemonamiga.com/reviews/view.php?id=336

I desperately hope, your minigame finds it's way back as a module after you've released Disk2

Anyway, I did some research back then and here are the links.

RickJ started with something similar, called DemoCycle.
http://demo.agspace.ws/project/archive/DemoCycle-A0100.zip

Unfortunately it doesn't feature hills, curves or different roads.

For a nice mode7 effect, you should take a look at AGS3d, which does a beautiful job.

Sorry, no paintover to offer

If you want to create the illusion of height:

- add more elements as a measure (like the distant buildings, Ben added)
- use reflecting materials like glass and metal
- add more skyscrapers of the same type and use them as a guide for the viewer
- the shoreline/sky can still be shown as a reflection on the other buildings
- 3 point bird's eye view perspective
- at dawn, shadows are very long
- set point of view from a different balcony in the foreground

Hope this helps
