I was wondering why the uploaded images in the CGA Screensaver's gamedatabase page are broken as soon as their url is transformed into the adventuregame studio url.
(http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/images/games/<image>)

This is how the gamedatabase page images look in my browser at home and at my job:

While in the forum's complete games thread, the images does show up properly.

Gratz, Mouth4W!!

Thegolddigger, it does contain music but no voice acting.

Happy one Frodo, Darth, Mati, DiPerla , Icey, Stee & Danny

This looks very promising, WRK.
Keep up the good work!

Aha, thanx for the reply CW.

I feel a bit stupid to ask this but I can't seem to find a way to set the backgroundcolournumber of a gui within the script.
So is there a way to set/alter the backgroundcolournumber of a gui within the script?

Thanx

Which one do you know?
I'll never forget track 2 and 8

Thanx FrankT

Remember the old but awesome Cracktro's that sometimes were included with a crack for DOS games?
By groups like Razor 1911, The Dream Team, Tristar, Red Sector, INC?

Well, I made a top 15 (MP3) of the best tracks used in these Cracktro's.
All of the selected ones were released between 1989 and 1994, the five golden Cracktro years.

* Did some editing at some endings (cause the track was build to loop) using schismtracker,
* Converted them to WAV and again some editing like smooth fading out with Audacity,
* Converted them to 320kb MP3's,
* Add cover art images (of the running cracktro) per track, an album cover image (collage) and a playlist.

Nice video, Anas

I can only tell that this occurs when drawing some button. Looks like sprite is missing in memory, but I am not sure.

Is it possible for you to send me this game so I could run it under debugger?

Sure, I'll PM you the link.

Lovely!

While running a project from within the editor, the projects crashed after a second or two.

Wait a second... did you just edited the post and changed "while running compilation" to "while running project"?
Or was I just seeing things?
I was breaking my head wondering how you get the crash dump during compilation.

E: I will look into this tomorrow, today is too late for work...

Sorry, can't remember. But if so: I meant 'running the project from within the editor', not 'running a compilation'.

While running a project from within the editor, the projects crashed after a second or two.

EDIT:
While I ran the same project from within the editor today, it crashes again after half a minute:
