[SierraWithBackground]

Hi,

My game is using the Dialog -> Speech Style SierraWithBackground . I have a Custom text-window GUI set under the Text output of global settings.

What I would like to know is if it's possible to change the text color of the dialogs to use the speaking character SpeechColor.

If it's not, is there a way to reimplement the character.Say(string) function ? I am using dialogs, so alternatively, if there is a way to change how the dialogs process the text to make the game script it would be cool too.

[Simple struct declaration]

Hey,

The wiki needs an entry explaining managed structs and how to make array of them.

The wiki page is here: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/wiki/Referencing_custom_struct_types

The content I want to add is below, but I don't have clearance to be able to add content to the wiki:

Simple struct declaration

Code: ags

struct Pos {
 int x;
 int y;
}

Pos initialPosition;
Pos importantPosition[3];

This kind of struct though can't be passed as argument of a function.

Managed Struct

Code: ags

managed struct Pos {
 int x;
 int y;
}

Pos * initialPosition;
Pos * importantPosition;

//we can't use 'initialPosition = new Pos;' in the body, it needs to be in a function

function initialisePositions(){
    initialPosition = new Pos;
    importantPosition = new Pos[3];
    importantPosition[0] = new Pos;
    importantPosition[1] = new Pos;
    importantPosition[2] = new Pos;
    
}

function moveDancingTo(Pos * destination){

    // do something with destination

}

Managed strucs allow passing structs as parameters

Hello,

I am making my game title screen. I want the first option to be a Continue. Clicking in Continue should load the most recent save slot.

Is it possible to find out which saveslot has the most recent game state?

Thanks.

Hey has someone seen this war of mine:

I would like to make a room like that containing multiple rooms, but the perspective gets a bit messy, has someone attempted affine transformation in AGS, or maybe using trapezoid for each wall, floor and ceiling and faking with distortion? Thoughts on this idea?

Hello,

I am just curious how can I install the Editor for Ubuntu 16.04, is there any automated script for PlayOnLinux or is there any Native build?

Wine gives me the error:

Code: ags

An unexpected error occurred. See below for details.
