The printscreen function of my Dell Inspiron notebook apparently doesn't work.
I have searchedeverything in AGS and the forums and the AGS website and can't find info.
How do I take a snapshot inside the running game?

AGS right and left click open source template (ALARCOST).
I can't seem to get it to work.  I start a new game and it doesn't show up.
Is there a newer version?

When I upload the game or building the game are the music and sound files automatically included?
I noticed the upload utility wouldn't accept my forums user name or password.

This is a pic from my first game "Danse Macabre."
It is a mild horror game and will be a very simple game.  I am still learning and don't expect a masterpiece.

I didn't know about the whole Ron games community.  My game uses Davy and Death.  I did know the resources were free to use.

Can I buy a pro version of AGS?

Monkey Island 1 is the best.  Sierra's Space Quest 4 is good.
The Longest Journey
Infinity

I thought about doing a game for years.  Now and then I would look for programs for making adventures. AGS seemed the most user friendly program.

My game is "Danse Macabre." A mild horror Adventure.
A 11 room game. It is my first game so it will be very basic.
It should be out in February.

I have read the tutorials, program help, searched the forums, and tried out a bunch of script, but couldn't solve the problem.
Scaling of the characters does not seem to work.
I do have small rooms, in a scary mansion; maybe that is why I don't see any scaling!
What function can I use to make sure the scaling occurs?
I did use Rep_Exec to scale the character down 50% in one room script, but it kept occuring in the following rooms.

Well my game is coming along good.  I have scripting for every room.  I can walk through the whole game.
What I have left to do is, sound effects, and I left the tough puzzles for the end.  And, I need to tweak a number of small things such as the NPC facing the Main character during dialogs.
The puzzles will be the toughest, for I have to search for how to actually do the puzzles.
Thanks for your help Guys, I apreciate it.

I do know the general way to script and can do alot.  I just wanted to see generally how someone more experienced goes about it.  I wasn't going to copy the scripts or anything like that.
I wasn't having a problem and wasn't asking for any specific help.
But thanks for the replies especially Tamenegi.

Thanks I will give it a try.

function room_FirstLoad()
{
if (cDeath.Room == 4) Deathanddannymeet.Start();
if (player.Room == 6) dhowdidyou.Start();

}

I got the above to work by putting it into Room 6.  The only problem is the dialog runs first and the character, the NPC character, does not pop into the room before the dialog plays. I assume because i am using firsttload.

Correct I know nothing about programming. That is why I am using AGS.
I do try every thing I can to get it to work. Including tutorials, searching forums and using help from the program.
I managed to get music and sound working. I can move the NPC within the rooms.  I can have both the main character and NPC change rooms. I use inventory items and get them into the characters inventory.  The game is well along now. It will be a very basic 12 room game without really advanced things.
I don't know what was meant by "Check the room," or "use variables."

Do I put something in the room script, or the global script?

I checked the documentation and couldn't solve this problem.
I had written one dialog and used the character area andGlobal script to run the dialog.
Now  I want to play another script, but I can't figure out how to play the script.  It just keeps playing the 1st script.
How do I do this?
This second dialog is in a different room than the first one.

Thanks.
I spent most of the morning finding music.
I chose 10 songs from someone called Danosongs.
Danosongs.com

I just wanted to see how an experienced game maker goes about it.
Just general help.

What am legally able to do as far as music goes?
Can I use a David Bowie tune "Heroes" without paying a fee, if the I don't make any money on the game?
I would like to add a good song for each room the character enters.

Cool, I will have to try this out. I have a character who I want to move and walk off the screen.
