"go out of the game"? what do you mean... be more specific

http://netmonkey.cellosoft.com/tutorials/
Tutorial one: Hand-drawn sprites
Tutorial two: using  256-colored backgrounds in your hi-color games (and how to reduce the size of your hi-color games by doing so )

Aha! I see what it is....

Rob Blanc I, II, and III were made at a time where there was the inventory items started at 0, but CJ changed it because of bugs (notice now days they start at 1) so I had to recode inventory item 0 with a brand new one, because it wasn't working quite right with the new acwin engine. Anyway, I fixed that now, and it should not crash. That's not the end of the game, btw

Whenever you run into another bug, tell me what room it is, like for example, "where they're on the ship in space"

Download the files again... I also fixed another inventory bug when you used the suit+helmet with the air tank. (RB2) (I must have skipped that one by mistake)

Yeah, pretty much. Except for the stuff I added above.

At one point when yahtzee joined monkeygames, he did "remaster" the games by adding mod's rb tune and adding the monkeygames logo (and maybe some bug fixes).... so the actual originals are lost forever. I bet some people have them, though.

It's the same game anyway.. just a few little tweaks here and there.

Ok, Rob Blanc III is now available for windows too. It is also on the beta testing stage. I have noticed that inventory items are causing a great deal of trouble, so if you see any inventory that should disappear when you use it but it's not (like when you give the milk to the baby on rb2, but I fixed that bug) reply to this thread and tell me about it.

There is an updated version of Rob Blanc I + II. Here's some new features:
Rb2: using inv with inv problems have been fixed
Rb1+2+3: you can SKIP CUTSCENES with escape!!!!! (I figured out a way to do it without too much scripting
Rb1+2+3: Characters turn around when walking (I think Yahtzee would have liked it that way)
RB1+2: Inventory screen now has custom sprites on buttons.
RB1+2+3: Different MonkeyGames logo from the DOS versions
RB1+2: fixed minor GUI glitches.
RB2: fixed the annoying "Nowhere. I don't know where to go!" bug.

The only problem that I have so far is that when you save a game and reload it, there is no music playing on RB1 + 2. I have no idea what the deal is, and if anyone has any ideas why this happens, please tell!

you can download RB3win from here: http://monkeygames.mixnmojo.com/downloads/rb3w.zip

How to skip the intro sequence?

Easy. You cant

well i had a problem with rb2

it wouldn't remove inventory items like the milk, or helmet, or air pack

and when i complete the game it quits saying "Lose Inventory: doesn't have inv_item" or something like that

Yes, I fixed some of the inventory problems... but I don't get that Lose Inventory message.. hmm...

It's done! The final versions of Rob Blanc I, II, and III for Windows are now available. There's also a package that has the three games in one download.

Also, forget http://www.geocities.com/~yahtzee83/. The new Rob Blanc Trilogy site is http://monkeygames.minxmojo.com/robblanc/ , so go there and download the games!

Finally, if you want to check out the changes from the original versions that came out back in the day, check out the little changes text file I made at http://monkeygames.mixnmojo.com/robblanc/changes.txt

That's it! Enjoy.

Thank you to those who told me about the bugs on the Windows betas.

Thanks to CJ and the permission of Yahtzee, I'm finally able to release Yahtzee's Rob Blanc on Windows EXEs. Why me? Well, after yahtzee left and all, I became responsible for Rob Blanc since MonkeyGames was the "publisher" for the games. And then of course as more people are switching to the goodness of 2000/XP, the dos versions of the games are becoming less and less compatible.

Anyway, due to changes in the different versions of ags, (these games were made with AGS 2.07 or so and the win exes are compiled from 2.4b) I need people to test the games before I announce it to the rest of the world. I've already found some glitches and fixed them, but there may be more...

You can download Rob Blanc I + II from here: (rb III WIN will be available sometime this week)
http://monkeygames.mixnmojo.com/downloads/rb12.zip
and RBIII:
http://monkeygames.mixnmojo.com/downloads/rb3w.zip

Please, if you see any glitches/bugs in the game, respond to this thread. For the walkthru, check the MonkeyGames website under the "Hints" section.

Trapezoid is the l33th4x0r of Clickteam programs-made adventure game engines. Oh, and Igor too....

hah.. it came out two hours before aga posted the game. I got a reply from yahtzee and he mentioned that. If you don't know, I was the one responsible for finding the game because I was looking around trying to fix some old things (Rob Blanc....)

Anyway, bye

New RON game?! YAY!!!!

JRP has a point though.... if you need to install extra codecs and stuff, you should have a installer. It's the nice thing to do.

Maybe you should release a patch for the game on zip.

Small games should be on zip.
Big, long games (like Pleurghburg, for example) should be on installers and zip (two options!)

AGS Games don't really require an installer, so that's why zip is probably the best option

That's just a suggestion, though, and that's what I'll do myself anyway.

very impressive, specially on the gui part.

I found this weird bug, if you're in the third location (where the guard is) if you walk to the shadows to the left of the door, it switches character to the woman! It's crazy.
