I'll try that, thank you

Because the manual shows that:

UpdatePalette()
Commits the changes you made to the game palette. The script global variable palette[] stores the state of all the colours of the palette. You can access the red, green and blue components with .r, .g and .b. The values range from 0 to 63.
Example:

palette[16].r = 60;
UpdatePalette();
will make the black colour turn bright red. When you actually change the variable, nothing happens. Call this function to update the screen

[how can I find the RGB values ags needs, being within that 0-63 range]

I was playing around with changing colors in an 8-bit ags-project using something like:

Code: ags

palette[1].r = 60;
palette[1].g = 0;
palette[1].b = 0;
UpdatePalette();

My problem is how can I find the RGB values ags needs, being within that 0-63 range.
For example, the color cyan in paint.net is shown as having rgb values 85,255,255, so that's not within that 0-63 range.




In this 2006 post I noticed an image showing a color from the palette been selected and the rgb values been shown in that 0-63 range.
This is kind-of what I would need:

Khris' solution is better indeed, I should have thought of that one.

Code: ags

if ((event == eEventEnterRoomBeforeFadein) && (player.previousroom != <Roomnumber>))
{ 
    hotspot[3].Enabled = false;
}

Yes, I've played  Snail Quest and Void Quest, the latter I really enjoyed.
But IIRC he made a fully custom "smart" parser, having auto-suggest and auto-correct and being context sensitive to the player’s current location.

[command]

Yes, that's another way to implement.

In my case, look is the exact same as (a synonym for) 'look around' and 'look room'.
Look <char/object/item> gives a generic description of the char/object/item
Examine <char/object/item> gives a specific in-depth description of the char/object/item, which resembles inspecting/(re)searching the char/object/item

Example:



   
   
   
   

command	same as	response
look	look room / look around	You are at the northern end of the catacombs.
look wall		The wall is old and moisty.
examine wall	inspect wall / investigate wall / research wall / search wall	One stone in the wall is a bit loose.

[Look vs. Examine]

As my parser game is being tested, something I knew that could be a problem popped up indeed:

Look vs. Examine

In my game Look is not the same as Examine. I thought this to be a well thought out and an OK design choice but yet it might not be that case...
So I looked into this again, search the web to see what others think and therefor I'm posting the question here too:

What do you think: should Look and Examine be the same, or should Look and Examine be different?


Here's some thoughts:

LOOK and EXAMINE should be the same because:

• players often assume that "look at " and "examine" are the same
• most gamers are going to just examine things right-away without looking at them first
• players prefer you give all (detailed) info, or reveal something, right-away when using examine or look instead of look for general info and examine for detailed info/revealing stuff./li]
  

LOOK and EXAMINE should be different because:

• it's nice to give more detailed info, or to reveal something, when using examine, look should only give a generic description. Look is the general portrayal of an object, and should be used to entice a reader to examine it, while Examine should only be used to detail an object (serial numbers, panels, inscriptions, etc.)

So what do you think?

Wow, nice one!

I did however seem to have experienced a weird bug (nothing I have ever experienced before on an AGS game).

I was on round 6, clicked an answer and then the game just stopped responding. The counter stayed frozen at 2 and nothing happend. I had to close the game.  I'll give it another play later, as I don't have the time right now.

Yes, i encountered the same issue too. No clue yet why that happens.
Will investigate this later. Thnx.

The magnificent track 'Hiro' from the Swedish game 'Roll Away' (known as 'Kula World' in Europe)
has stuck in my memory forever since I first heard it while playing the game on my PS1, centuries ago
