Hi,
I somehow create currupted save games.

The bug has been isolated

In room_load, do the following:

[...]
SaveGameSlot(1, "QuickSave");
aSomeMusic.Play();
[...]


Try to load that game and BAM
At least that happens in AGS 3.2 RC2 on my machine.

Hi,

I somehow create currupted save games.

Whenever I try to restore, this is the error I get.

Great! Thank you guys!

Hey,

does anyone have Jonas Tapfer - Our finest Hour on their HDD?

I've stumbled upon it on the MAGS homepage, but download link is broken.

Screeny:

If you steal some military equipment from the british empire, what would a soldier/guard tell you via radio?
(except the obvious puns

Attention, you're hijacking a military unit from
the british crown
the United Kingdom
the royal crown of her majesty??

I'm pretty lost here

*cough* yes, I admit, it's a little awkward.
The module of course works with 3.1 - but I've compiled the demo with a release candidate of AGS 3.2.
So if you want to try out the demo, get the latest release candidate of AGS 3.2 here:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=37668.0

(you have to scroll down)

Sorry about this - as soon as the 3.2 goes final, I'll update the demo

Phew

So it's wendsday 23:59 GMT+0 ?

(and of course it's okay with me)

Happy Birthday, Chris!

Regarding the deadling:
until 25th means 24th, 23:59?

Not really. The portrait is shown for all characters. But for the player's character, the text is displayed above it's head. Also the SierraWithBackground option is being ignored.

But since I use SSH's great portrait module, it's quite easy to add a dummy character with the player's portrait.

Argh! Ben, sorry I've missed your BDay too.

Apologies and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Hey,

I really can't figure this out:

I'm using the speech style SierraWithBackground and it works for all characters except the player character.
When I try to use "player.say", the text is written above the player's sprite with no background.

Is there any way to avoid this?
(Except a transparent dummy character?)

Thanks!

Phew, this would have disqualified me instantly

Hey,

I've decided to give this a try too. And Rocco, I'm using one of your modules - so at least there's a little team spirit outside the games

Sorry for having spotted your reply so late.

Well of course it's possible to use this GUI in any resolution, and converting it is quite easy. But if this is really going to be your first project in AGS, I'd rather start with something small and simple

If you have already finished a Test-Quest and are still having trouble to use the GUI in 1024x768, I'd be glad to help.

@Terran: Well, after the release I'm sure we can talk about the code In the meanwhile here's another thread of people discussing it:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=32174.0

@OneDollar: Cool stuff! As the rhythmgame is fully compatible to Frets on Fire, it'll be fun to test it By the way - we're looking for a guy doing the fretting for the yet unwritten songs

Well, you forget about several facts:

You can't sort dialog topics
and you can only delete the last topic.

Now what happens if you have, let's say 18 dialogs and your game is almost finished. Now you decide to add one more inventory item - maybe a watch.
You would have to change all 18 dialogs, copy and paste all topics to get them in the right order and alter that gigantic if-condition.
Sure it's possible - but it's far away from being easy.
Your argumentation sounds like: "Why do we need GUIs? We already have overlays"

Hehe,  I guess most people haven't played it yet
I don't want it to become stale, since you have to play it a couple of time in the main game.

@Terran: It's no magic, simply convert a .mid to a txt-file, so AGS can interpret it. For the mechanics, just visit http://fretsonfire.sourceforge.net/ and see how they do it.

Finally, here's the update
