Yes, I know there's no IsModeEnabled(), that was just a pseudo line.
I was really hoping there was a quick work-around instead of having to use player.ActiveInventory == null.
Because using that means I need to go through all the rooms and set it to null where an item is used.
A bool is indeed an option but the player.ActiveInv will do fine.
If I only had thought of this from the start. *slaps forehead*

Thanx for the answer, Khris!

EDIT:
Also, I wasn't using inventory items, I only used custom mouse mode 8 and set a certain (inv) graphic to it.
Bad choice I guess...

I use the following mouse modes:

mode 1 = look
mode 2 = interact
mode 3 = talk
custom mode 8 = inventory


For mouse mode 8: when selecting an inv item, this mode get a certain Graphic set en gets enabled:

Code: ags

  mouse.EnableMode (eModeInventory);
  mouse.ChangeModeGraphic(eModeInventory, 39);
  mouse.Mode = eModeInventory;

After using this item on an object or char, this mouse mode gets disabled.

Code: ags

mouse.DisableMode(eModeInventory);

In the global script, for the MouseWheelNorth, I'd like to check if mouse mode 8 is enabled/disabled, and set the mouse to mode 8 if 8=enabled or to mode 3 if 8=disabled.
But I can't figure out how to do that.

Here's the global script part:

Code: ags

else if (button == eMouseWheelNorth) { 
    // Mouse-wheel up, cycle cursors 
    // If mode isn't LOOK, set the previous mode
    if (mouse.Mode>1) mouse.Mode=mouse.Mode-1; 
    else  
    { 
      // ...but if it is LOOK mode...
      if (mouse.Mode 8 == enabled) // <<THIS (PSEUDO) LINE IS MY PROBLEM, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO CHECK IF A MOUSE MODE IS ENABLED/DISABLED
      {
        //...and mouse mode 8 is enabled, set mouse mode to 8. 
        mouse.Mode=8; 
      }
      else 
      {
        // If they don't, however, just set it to mode TALK
        mouse.Mode=3; 
      }
    }

I Love Treasure Island!!!!!
Was always my favorite book! Read it a bunch of times as a young guy.. Then tried to read it to my son at 5-6yrs, I forced him... (I like to think he secretly liked it )

Thanx! If only I had made this (years?) earlier, then you could have played it together instead of reading him the book

OMG....I totally played this game! I don't think I could finish it though. I either played it at a local library on limited time, or I rented the game for a week. Either way, I ran out of time. You may be saving my inner-completionist! AND the game looks beautiful!

Thank you! Once released, you finally can finished it without running out of time

A text-heavy, compass rose-driven fiction around Stevenson's lovely book? Sir, game of the year!
(If anyhow possible, please include an additional option to choose those four RGB values by myself )

Thanx for the compliment!
And sorry: although a cool idea and probably not impossible, I can't include such option.
That would require too much extra work, having it so close to be finished.

Wow this is such a beautiful and impressive oldstyle game nostalgia. Loving it ! Keep it up.

Thankies, Retro never dies
You're doing a great job on I'm Not Here btw!

ops, just realised this is a remake so I should probably assume it's freeware . Never heard of the original game so . looks sweet either way ^^

I guess not many people know or played the original version since that one's over 30 years old...
I used to play it back in the 80's and always wanted to remake it, point 'n click style but still as retro as possible, so I did.

Looks cool, keep up the good work, Arj0n!

Thank you, Mr. APD2BIH

you can't just open a thread with something awesome like this and then tell us it's nearly complete! Have some mercy dude

I'm so, so, so sorry!

Haha, thanx Peder.
Added the freeware info bullet.

Looking for testers for 'Treasure Island'.

It's an 'interactive fiction adventure with graphics'.
Project information can be found >HERE<.

I've setup an online bugtracker for testing.

If interested contact me by PM or by email (arj0n@hotmail.com) and we take it from there.

EDIT:
Enough testers have volunteered, so no more positions are open.

SCREENSHOTS:

[/font]

Try one of the 4x filters. On my system, the game runs @ 1280 x 800 with black borders on all sides.

Thanx, but I tried that already, with no result.
But: the log showed a 16bit problem. So I switched to 32-bit (true-colour) colour depth, recompiled and ran the game again: it now shows properly in full-screen.

Thanx CW and Khris, appreciated.


EDIT:
CW: I noticed your answer after my post:

The solution for your case would be to enable windowed mode in setup when running on that particular computer.

Mmhh, Ok. But after switching to 32bit it seems to be solved perfectly.

Thanx for looking into this!

Sure, here's the (partial) log (game setting = fullscreen,max nearest-neighbour filter):

I'm wondering why my project isn't able to run in fullscreen.

When running in fullscreen combined with any nearest-neighbour
filter or 'none', it always shows as small as possible.

The best I can get is 'windowed & nearest-neighbour filter'.

As many forum member already know by now, I resigned from the forum about 2 months ago. The reason is my ex and I broke up, because a relationship should be fair but it wasn't at all.
The stuff that has been done to me has hurt me greatly and it still does, and therefor I feel I can't stay on the forums while my ex and her new boyfriend are around here too.
I also do not attend to mittens this year for the exact same reason.

My LSL1 remake project will be frozen for now, not canceled, and I keep working on my Futurama game for now.

It was a great time here and I've met many truly nice and honest people here and also on Mittens.
Love you all, miss you all.

For specific questions, please PM or contact via my Facebook.

Post updated

[EDIT:]

Sadly I will not be joining mittens this year.

The reason for this is that, sadly enough, a few months ago [my  girlfriend] and I broke up.
As I'm still processing this very sad and not easy change of life, I feel I better skip this year.

For that same reason I am not active anymore on the forums. I've put my projects, as the 'LSL1 remake',
indefinitely on-hold. I do hope to pick up working on them in the future though, but now I'm still lacking the energy.

Sorry to bother you with this.

@All: Enjoy your Mittens 2015 trip.

Regards,
-arj0n

EDIT:
[Edit temporarily removed by mod. - Snarky]

I did try the regular 1024x768 resolution. Same problem.

Now, feedback and suggestions!
Radiant reports a crash. I'm hoping for more details on that. Any other problems you experienced?

I only encountered 1 crash, which happened before the actual ceremony was running.
I think Radiant reported that one already. I believe it is obsolete now anyway.
During the ceremony, no crashes or whatsoever, nice job!

Also:
I really liked the extra features as the program list. Nice job, Award Ceremony App Team
