Sorry if this has already been answered.

Has anyone already made a module for this?

My current approach would to use Monkey's stacks module for converting and saving the struct. But maybe one of you already has a way better idea

Happy beer drinking age, Dataflashsabot (at least here in germany)

Also: Happy belated birthday Ascovel.

Sorry that I've missed that!

Almost everything?

Unfortunately your method didn't work with tiles.

My biggest problem was to stop the player falling through the gaps between the stair tiles. But now we come to mention ist, movable platforms that lets the screen scroll were a pain too Thanks to this official cry-thread I can finally tell you people

Just 2 more screenshots and I can at least see the ending

But seriously, I'm finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel.

Ramps in my upcoming platform engine, I've planned a few hours and it took about a week to make it bugfree.
It's still not 100% (argh!)

...so... beautiful...

It's hard to believe that you've done that in only one month. I even don't care that the puzzles are easy (or not existant), it's just a wonderful little story.


Oh, just one thing: I forgot to count, but how many times did the credits say "Steven Poulton"? 100 times or 10000000000 times? But that's actually my only grievance. Technically spoken this is the best and most beautiful low-res stuff I've seen in ages.

Terrific job, guys and voice actors! 

You're not alone Leon, I still don't get it too. (or maybe you did now?)  I've spend 15 minutes on shifting this grid without any feedback... yes I feel that stupid

Sorry Progz, I'm not smart enough for your game, even though it's very appealing. I actually feel like I'm 10 years old, don't know anything about the english language and try to solve Colonel's Bequest

Hehe, your techdemo is already pretty fun, though I definitely miss sliding tackles.

Maybe you could also grap a copy of Sensible Soccer to make the controls a little more snappy - but hey, for AGS it's already cool.

Yay, finally found some time to play and finished this!

the graphics are indeed very good and the protagonist is absolutely great. On the other hand, the game itself is not Well, it's still amusing, but pixel-hunting and a missing hotspot label ruin it a bit.

hehe, I'm glad I've overslept most of the discussion

@Ryan
Even though I don't think most people will notice, your approach looks quite efficient. I think I'll change those few lines.


@Khris
Yep, the tile size is fixed - at least on a per-level base. But is there a "sientific" fact to limit the rowsize? Could I run in some kind of buffer overflow?

Btw. I've also convinced Mappy to create a compatible tile output. So if PM keeps crashing I might simply switch the editor.

Well, I create them with an external map editor. That way I can have a new tileset per level, without the need to import and map all sprites over and over again.
In other words, those sprites don't exist in the sprite manager.

edit: yup, as Khris said

How would you store tiles which are going to be read by CreateFromExistingSprite:

a) all tiles in a row,  1 column
b) a few tiles in a row, a few columns

?

Lazy as I am, I'm doing method a at the moment, but could I get in trouble with a bitmap of 1600x16x8 ?

Thanks (as always)!

Looking great and might be useful one day.
Thanks!

Just took a look at Tomb Raider swinging on Youtube. It's indeed very slick and way better than ninja ropes at which I was thinking of. But maybe it's better to stay focused and first finish the basics.

If in the meantime anyone has a copy and paste solution, well that would be something else

well, then just move that point down your priority list. That issue shouldn't be a show stopper, just change those lines after you get some scripting experience.

Oh *cough* yes... I guess that transputter must have messed up my reading abilities. I shouldn't post right after being annoyed

err.. when voting deadline again?

I'm still stuck at the transputter and don't like to play too much titles parallel.

It is, you just have to alter the lines I've mentioned in guiscript.asc

@Babar
Cool idea using power ups in a RPG way.
and if anyone is willing to teach me, how whip swinging could be achieved, I'll put it in

What's also bothering me: you'll still need an external map editor. I suppose Mappy and Tiled might work, but I haven't tested those.

I also think the current approach is way more playable than the original.
But if you insist, you can edit the template at line 1261 (at least in version 1.2.1):

Code: ags

SetAction (eGA_LookAt);
location=GSinvloc;
if (ii.IsInteractionAvailable(eModeLookat)) {
  used_action = global_action;
  ii.RunInteraction(eModeLookat);
  SetAction(eMA_Default);
}
