you could export as png with alpha channel... then import it into a 32-bit game.... and it looks beautiful. Now, about megs... that's another story

Another solution is to make the background a dark grayish and then color it with your favorite transparent color on photoshop, that way the edges are not as noticeable... like I did in my tutorial: http://netmonkey.cellosoft.com/tutorials/tut1.html

You could also use the magic wand to select the transparency and then go to selection\modify\expand and expand the selction by 1-2 pixels... then erase and you would get pixelated edges without magenta.

Shit! that was scary.

I need to stop surfing the internet with sound. it gets me every single time.

"I think George Lucas is going to sue sombody."

Seriously, though, does anyone remember the time all LucasArts fan sequel/spinoff amateur game makers got an official letter from LEC saying that they were going to get sued if they didn't get rid of the game? They even had a two page thing on PCGAMER UK about it.

I found a version of Benguiat that is close enough! Thanks for your help, dudes.

it doesn't really look like it ..  plus, the outlines to this font were added later...

I'm looking for the font used for the 5 Days A stranger logo, which Yahtzee doesn't have anymore and I'm trying to make a higher res version of it.

Here's the logo:


I would appreciate if you checked in your fonts directory and tell me if you have it. Send me a message if you do, or reply to this message.

What a suprise.... congratulations!

I feel so young.... I better go out there and "knock up" a woman.  

sweet! netmonkey -1, Chris - 0

I think it would be neat if we could hightlight words in a Display box by using some sort of special character (like using [ to go to the next line) where that word would be in a different color from the others in order to highlight something important...

Flash will always look a zillion times better than AVI and also they're a zillion times smaller.

I know! It's my year... and this is what I would look like if I dyed my hair like they did to these monkeys for the celebration:

Guess where I got the idea inspired from I've been playing the game recently and it's fun to talk to people while you're playing the game...

yeah, we could be playing adventure games while we're on irc too

I just had the craziest idea while I was walking around the campus: What if you could have an adventure game where you have the option to connect to IRC while you're in the game in order to get some hints or talk to others playing the game at the same time? I think it would be pretty interesting specially since the AGS community hangs out on IRC and whatnot. I guess the plug-in would have basic irc commands like ctcp, connect, join, part, and quit where the programmer could set it to either make the player choose or connect automaticly to a server (like to quakenet).

I would implemet this in my game is someone made a plug-in out of it.

To integrate flash into MSN chris would have to buy the Macromedia Flash SDK and then there's the whole licensing issue. I tried making a plugin once where it used MFC (in other words, it would be only for windows games) to play the flash files, but I think it conflicted with something in ags (allegro) and just froze the program....  I don't know if anyone else would like to investigate more on this method I tried; you're welcome to.

When I refer to the mac I mean Mac OS X which is unix-based, not the older versions....
Heh, that would be interesting if SCUMMVM could run AGS games...

I was talking to this guy and he said that he wanted to play some AGS games, but he has a mac, though. So I wondered how hard would it be to make a mac version....

Anyway, the only problem I can think of is that the runtime uses Allegro, right? And I guess that's only available for windows and linux.... hmm. So, would it take a big rewrite of the code?

Sigh, I'm still unable to Test Game properly for the first time (as in, boot up computer, run editor, test game and it freezes, but the second time it just runs the game)... There's something up with my computer, but why did it choose AGS?

Spoiler

Where's the broom?

What's with the Germans and Zak McKracken? they seem to love it
