Are there any AGS games released or in production which are actually
ported games [from other platforms to PC using the AGS engine]?

It just seems like a compilation of Wikipedia articles and linked interviews.

I think that's just what it is, no less, no more.

@GarageGothic
Woops, sorry, didn't noticed you've already created a thread 'bout this...

Anyway,

Graphic Adventures, the Book:


Did you love to play graphic adventures as much as I did, and want to
learn more about them? The book Graphic Adventures  is the mostly
correct history of the adventure game classics by Lucasfilm, Sierra and
others, from the pages of Wikipedia. The book features the tales
behind games like Loom, Labyrinth, Mystery House, Maniac Mansion,
Space Quest, The Secret of Monkey Island, King's Quest, Myst, Zork
Nemesis and Leisure Suit Larry.

The book was based on the pages of Wikipedia articles, which were
edited and added to. Many game creators, like Al Lowe, David Fox
and Peter Langston, are interviewed and provide further historical
background on these games.

That's right, my mistake  

Code: ags

// room script file
  bool ClickedRightHalf(this Object*) { //call when the object has been clicked
  if (mouse.x + GetViewportX() > (this.X + (Game.SpriteWidth[this.Graphic]/2))) return true;
  }
  bool ClickedLowerHalf(this Object*) { //call when the object has been clicked
  if (mouse.y + GetViewportY() > (this.Y - (Game.SpriteHeight[this.Graphic]/2))) return true;
  }
  
function Block_left_right()
{
  Object* myobject = Object.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
 
//Move to the left

Object* block [6];
  block[0] = oBlock1;
  block[1] = oBlock2;
  block[2] = oBlock4;
  block[3] = oBlock5;
  block[4] = oBlock6;
  block[5] = oBlock7;

  int i=0;
  while(i<6){
 
  if ((Game.SpriteHeight[object[i].Graphic] == 60 && myobject.X+120==object[i].X && 
             myobject.Y-60==object[i].Y-60) && myobject.X <=360 &&  myobject.ClickedRightHalf())
             {myobject.Move(myobject.X+00, myobject.Y, 10, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);
             Display ("can't move");}
 
  else if  (myobject.X <=360 && 
             myobject.ClickedRightHalf()) {myobject.Move(myobject.X+60, myobject.Y, 10, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);
             aClick.Play();}
i++;}   
} 

OK, the IF should prevent 'myobject' to move, if not the ELSE IF should move 'myobject'.
With this code it displays "can't move" but after that it still moves 'myobject'?

i++ should be inside the loop at the end.

I guess like this?
But now the loopscript hangs while running the game and clicking the "myobject"...

Code: ags

// room script file
  bool ClickedRightHalf(this Object*) { //call when the object has been clicked
  if (mouse.x + GetViewportX() > (this.X + (Game.SpriteWidth[this.Graphic]/2))) return true;
  }
  bool ClickedLowerHalf(this Object*) { //call when the object has been clicked
  if (mouse.y + GetViewportY() > (this.Y - (Game.SpriteHeight[this.Graphic]/2))) return true;
  }
  
function Block_left_right()
{
  Object* myobject = Object.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
 
//Move to the left
  Object* block [2];
  block[0] = oBlock1;
  block[1] = oBlock4;

  int i=0;
  while(i<2){
 
  if (Game.SpriteHeight[object[i].Graphic] == 60) 
     {myobject.Move(myobject.X+00, myobject.Y, 10, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);
     Display ("can't move");

  i++; }  

  else if   (myobject.X <=360 && 
             myobject.ClickedRightHalf()) {myobject.Move(myobject.X+60, myobject.Y, 10, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);
             aClick.Play();}
      
  } 

@tzachs
oBlock1 a.o. needed to change to block[ i] indeed but it wasn't changed to show where the aray should be used.

Saving the room script with this loop goes ok
Running the game also goes ok.
But it doesn't do what it's suppose to do.

Code: ags

// room script file
  bool ClickedRightHalf(this Object*) { //call when the object has been clicked
  if (mouse.x + GetViewportX() > (this.X + (Game.SpriteWidth[this.Graphic]/2))) return true;
  }
  bool ClickedLowerHalf(this Object*) { //call when the object has been clicked
  if (mouse.y + GetViewportY() > (this.Y - (Game.SpriteHeight[this.Graphic]/2))) return true;
  }
  
function Block_left_right()
{
  Object* myobject = Object.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
 
//Move to the left
  Object* block [2];
  block[0] = oBlock1;
  block[1] = oBlock4;

  int i=0;
  while(i<2){
 
  if (Game.SpriteHeight[object[i].Graphic] == 60) 
     {myobject.Move(myobject.X+00, myobject.Y, 10, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);
     Display ("can't move");}

  else if   (myobject.X <=360 && 
             myobject.ClickedRightHalf()) {myobject.Move(myobject.X+60, myobject.Y, 10, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);
             aClick.Play();}
  i++;          
  } 

Now it runs the "If" to check if myobject can't move (which works fine, I know by using "Display"),
but then it runs the "Else If" and let myobject also move.
It should be one of the two options instead of doing both.
Can't find what is wrong with the loop now  

Well, you "can't" do that, but... what about a loop?

Code: ags

int i=0;

while(i<NUM_OBJECTS){
  object[i].stuff;
  //more stuff 
  i++;
}

NUM_OBJECTS is a constant value which you must define

Getting a parse error having this:

{
Object* block [3];
block[1] = oBlock1;
block[2] = oBlock2;
block[3] = oBlock3;
int i=0;
while(i<[1]){
if (((Game.SpriteHeight[object.Graphic] == 60) && myobject.X+120==object.X && myobject.Y-60==oBlock1.Y-60) && myobject.X <=360 &&  myobject.ClickedRightHalf()) myobject.Move(myobject.X+10, myobject.Y, 10, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);
//more stuff
i++;
}

I'm sure there's more wrong with my 'loop'....

Spoiler

Happy BD, Calin.

For now I go for the option that the function in the room will be valid for every object.
Hope that will be enough.

Thanx all.

That's all I got.

Best name so far 

I have some code for the "function oBlock0_AnyClick()" in my room script.
In the same room I have this same function for "function oBlock1_AnyClick()" untill "function oBlock7_AnyClick()".

If I'm understanding it right I can place this function 1 time in the global script in stead
of several times in the roomscript for all the "oBlock'x'_AnyClick()" functions in that room.

I can't figure out how to do this.

Any help?

I have an if, else statement for 1 object.
But I have several objects for the same if, else statement,
so that statement now needs to be copy-pasted for each object.

How can I group them first, for example as X and then run the if, else statement
only once for X in stead of running the statement all objects1, then running it for object2, etc.?

I hope my explanation makes any sense  

Arj0n.

Now just finish this KQ1 remake and continue with KQ2 & KQ3 remakes 

Of course you have to click on the bird's paws.
But *when* is where it seems to go wrong for you.
Keep trying to click on it's paws just a tiny little bit earlier or later.

Maybe this will help, quote from the AGDI forum:
"there's a spot marked by two small rocks near the center of the screen. Stand in that spot and click on the condor just before he swoops over your head so Graham has the time to jump."

Arj0n.

I'll keep playing.

"keep praying" you mean 
I really hope it works out.

Ouch! That really sucks. Since vista was installed on that partition it looks like it created a blank partition on top of the existing one and did happily overwrite chunks of the existing data. You can have some luck with disk recovery tools, but there are no guarantees. For the best results, don't touch it! Boot from a different partition or use a live CD. Every time you start from the new partition it will corrupt your old data even further. Good luck!

Cheers. I've tried a few things, it's definitely not bringing any old material back from that HD. sigh

Sorry to say but when [re]installing on a partition, windows cleansweeps it first.
There seems to be no way to get your stuff back that was on that partition...

Ahhh, an opening bracked before the move statement and a closing bracket after the play statement.
Thank you very much 

And yes, I forgot to copy-paste the semicolon

It's just a matter of timing, for example: try a tiny bit earlier to grab the paws...
