Nice job, gratz on the release!

As you have more then 1 item at a certain point, this idea won't work anyway, right?

What snarky said.
Or something like:
- Combining dagger and flint removes dagger item and flint item and creates a new 'combined' inv item 'dagger+flint'.
- Use new dagger+flint item on wood or on wrong objects/hotspots
- When dropping the item (putting back in inv box) you can choose to keep the combined item or to un-combine them automatically (that is remove combined item and give back flint item and dagger item)

Looking for testers for the adventure game Grandad and The Quest for The Holey Vest.

Story:
Grandad and The Quest for The Holey Vest remake is an adventure game written in Adventure Game Studio. Grandad, who is rather old, has a habit of placing things in strange places and then forget where he has put them. One morning he wakes up and discovers that there is a bit of a nip in the air. He decides that he'll need to put on his string vest but he can't remember where it is. You have to help grandad find it. Guide grandad around his house, gather items, talk to people, solve puzzles and unlock doors.

Originally released in 1992 only for the Atari ST, this freeware remake is made for Windows and Linux.

Drop me a PM if interested.

do you by any chance still have a copy of Monty Python's Makeout Mansion?

Yep, here it is: Monty Python's Makeout Mansion

(as pm didn't seemed work I posted the answer via this thread)

This because of a GUI on top is shown permanently (the one with the score)

I have a project that make use of the extra mouse cursor #8

• I named it "Cast spell", but the ScriptID becomes "eModeCastspel"
  - is there a character max?
• When I select a room object (e.g. oChest), the name shown in the Event pane is "Cast spel object".
  But when clicking the 3 dots to create a link, this link is named oChest_Mode8 in stead of oChest_Castspel
  - I know I can change this manually, but is there an easy way to let the to be created link MouseCursorName in stead of the Mode<number>?
  

[make a backup of your own savegame folder]

What to do to get the power up:

Spoiler

> use the A.P.U
> hammer left-mouse button until the lever reaches the top
> repeat this 3 times (each time is harder to reach the top)

[close]

I've also uploaded a save file as zip (from the steam version) where:

Spoiler

- the aux power is OK
- the player is ready to use the bunker-key on the panel

[close]

note: the file version of the file "Doc_Apocalypse.exe" in the steam gamefolder is version 3.4.1.11

In case you use the provided savefile: make sure you make a backup of your own savegame folder first!
- savegame folder: C:\Users\<your_name>\Saved Games\Doc Apocalypse - Steam
- download savefile: Doc_Apocalypse_save_Steam.zip

you might want to change the player.SpeechAnimationDelay to a lower number too.

you have set: Game.MinimumTextDisplayTimeMs = 1;
but this should be Game.MinimumTextDisplayTimeMs = 500;  // or 200, as 1000 = 1 second

Clear, thanx.

Thank you for that 'trick', snarky!
It definitely is an improvement over the #define constants I used.

One question:
should I also use "SCORE_EVENT_COUNT" instead of the static total "46" for "import Score scores[46];"

I currently have this:
ash:

Code: ags

struct Score
{
  String name;
  int points;
};

enum ScoreEvent
{
    R1_use_cap_on_owl = 0,
    R01_some_other_thing,
    ...
    SCORE_EVENT_COUNT
};

import Score scores[46];
import function set_score_values();

asc:

Code: ags

Score scores[SCORE_EVENT_COUNT];
export scores;

function set_score_values()
{
    scores[0].name = "R1 use cap on owl";
    scores[0].points = 3;
    ...
    ...
}

Ow man, I completely overlooked that ";"
Thanx!

Using AGS v3.5.1.21

I have an extra script called Points which is on top of all scripts
In its header it contains first 45 '#define' lines followed by a structs with arrays:

Code: ags

#define R01_use_cap_on_owl 0;
#define...

  
struct Score
{
  String name;
  int points;
};

import Score scores[46];
import function set_score_values();

And in the script Points I have this:

Code: ags

Score scores[46];
export scores;

function set_score_values()
{
  scores[0].name = "R1 use cap on owl";
  scores[0].points = 3;
  ...
}

So far so good, but in room 1 I have this line:

Code: ags

GiveScore(scores[R01_use_cap_on_owl].points);

Which gives me this error when compiling:

Code: ags

Error (line 322): Parse error in expr near 'scores' | room1.asc

I've no clue what's going wrong here...

The sprite colours (except for the blue colour which marks transparency for ags) are the exact same as the ags colour slots, so no mismatch there...

You can check the zip which contains the sprite in the subfolder named Sprite. It's the first of the 2 sprites: 8bit-test_(ags_v3.5.1.21).zip

Here's a zip of a 8-bit project with the same settings and colours-setup as my 8bit project: 8bit-test_(ags_v3.5.1.21).zip

The project folder (8bit-test) has an extra  subfolder called Sprite which contain 2 sprites:
1_no_black_left_imports_wrong.png
+
2_black_left_imports_correct.png

The 1st sprite should import correctly, but I can't seem to get it to import correctly
The 2nd sprite does import correctly, because there's a black border at the left-hand side of the sprite. (But I don't want all sprites in my project to have a black pixel at their leftside)

Maybe someone knows a way to import sprite nr1 correctly into the given project?

My project had many sprites imported correctly around 2020, it looks like that was done in v3.5.0.27.
But now, using indeed v3.5.1 it doesn't.

But after reloading a backup of the project into v3.0.5.27 i tried to import the same sprite and now it doesn't import correctly in v3.5.0.27 too...

Installed v3.5.0.27 and loaded a backup of the project, but having the same importing colour issue...

not 100% sure but iirc i switched from v3.5.1.11

EDIT
loaded a backup of the project into v3.5.1.21 and it said it was made in v3.5.0.27.
