yeah i might try that...i just recorded sounds viva my mp3 player. so it might be in some compressed wav format or something. I'll give that a try and report back i guess

yeah its unchecked.. the file is named correctly and everything.. its really weird.. because i have a music file to play in the background and that works fine! i took out the music to see if it was a clash between to two that was causing a error but it still didnt work... i might try converting them to .mp3 or something. i dont know, this is really bizare

and i just put that

PlaySound(1); // Plays keyboard typing sound

and thats it..

sorry for the dumb questions.. i have never done much/any scripting before.. and it seems abit eek to get stuck into.. but for some of the stuff i want to do in this game i think i am going to have to learn...

EDIT: I just did it and it still doesnt work... mmm.. and i have tried changing the sound numbers as well...

sorry what was meant to be sound0.wav i fixed that in the post above.. I really don't know how to use the code those... where would i put it in the script, cause i have just been using the interaction editor for everything.

Hey, just need some help with my sound effects in the game. I wanted to have a simple sound effect of someone typing on a keyboard, and I have used the Interactions menu in my room and used "Game - Play Sound Effect" and put the correct number of the sound file (wav file is named SOUND0.wav as well) I have also tried Rebuilding VOX/Music and speech sounds as well and when i test the game, the sound doesnt play and comes with (In room 3): Sound Sample load failure: Cannot load sound 0. I also have put the sound files in the Sounds folder as well. I am using AGS v2.72 as well. can someone tell me what I am (if anything) wrong? please help!

cheers

haha thats for me to work out and for you to play and enjoy.
*hint* its not going to be rpg.

well as i said it rough.. i've been having second thoughts about the storm idea.. anyways thanks for your thoughts i shall keep them in mind

Well, the game world will be based on the game, but it wont be screen captures from the game... I want to try and re-create the games places into pixelized gold (or most likely eyesores) anyway, well the goal is for him to get back to the real world. But while he is trying to get out he is sucked into helping the characters from the game to achieve their goals (but not always going to plan, changing the course of the storyline maybe for the worst) but i kind of want to base it on Quantum Leap, like the main guy in that had to do something/help someone out.. or complete a goal and then he is teleported to a different time. but with this the main character gets teleported into a different game.. I am thinking down the line in the game he is teleported into a MMO and runs into one of his friends characters and thats how he begins to communicate with the outside world. I think i have said too much plus I dont know if i will go ahead with that part..

At the moment I havent really got anythign set.. I just have the basic idea/the first game that he will be transported into and how the game (part one) will end and about half of part 2..hehe i think you guys would like it..

so yeah, thats the basic idea... sorry if there is spelling mistakes.. its 5:45am and I am sooo god damn tired..

LOL Bulls$#! i wrote this story when i was 12 god damn.. haha joking i dont mind.. How do you mean what will the game world be like?

Hey guys,

Thought I would run this idea past you guys and see what you thought. I am planning to make a short/demo game for my folio to get into a Videogame Graphics course next year. I was having trouble thinking of something basic.. haha then I was talking to my mother about how I was having "writers block" and see was going on about this story I wrote when I was in primary school then it hit. Its very loosely based on it, but yeah made changes to the concept which I think was for the better! ANYWAY!

It goes a little something like this.

Ok the main character (lets say.. John for now).. So John is a video games journalist, abit of a hits the piss/drugs type of character, (think Hunter S Thompson but not as extreme) The game starts of in his small apartment, hungover. He wakes up in his bed and remembers that he has to finish a review on a game thats due that night, thing is he hasnt played the game enough to review/too hungover to remember anything about it. A huge electrical storm is heading the worst this city has ever witnessed. But he has to get it done or else its back to washing dishes. So he knucles down and starts playing the game.. the storm hits.. I dont know how this will happen, but I get something along the lines of lighting hiting the house causing an electical serge through the system opening a portal that sucks him in.  He wakes up not in his apartment but later he finds out that he is in the game. If anyone has read my other post asking for C+C on a sprite, you might have a very good idea on what game that is going to be.
And i was thinking if the game gets a good response I could make sort of a series,... It would be kind of like Quantum Leap but you dont control a main character in the games, you are John. I have some ideas as well for story development further in the series but i dont want to express them cause it will ruin the game ..

Anyway is it worth going on with, any ideas on how i could make the story better?

cheers

hahaha oh believe me he will be using his buster sword in this game and yeah after finishing it i was thinking about changing the yellow... but yeah thanks for the input .. I'll post a update later tonight but most likely tomorrow.. boy its 1:05am..

hey here is a familar character i am going to use in my game.. just wanted to see what you guys thought of him...

cheers

yeah nice, cheers for the tips, i was going to do it last night be i started doing it at like 3am in the morning then got too tired. So i will post a update later tonight after some eats!

update:- I updated the lower half of the guy sitting down and fixed the shoes now to start animating the bastard

do you guys know a quick way to fix that problem in each of the frames, or am I going to have to fix each frame with the trusty ol' eraser tool?

yeah i know that.. sorry is should of posted that. I made him in photoshop and instead of using the pencil tool i used the brush tool and when i noticed i was already half way through the animation which was really annoying but I'm thinking of doing him anyways.

Hey guys, this was a spirte i made about two months ago, Just wondering what you guys think? cause i'm thinking of re-doing him, just wondering if you guys could give some pointers on how i can improve it.

cool, thanks for your comment, i have some programs i must try out, i had a quick go at pro motion, i dont mind it haven't got right into. I'm going to start some rough sprites for some characters tonight, might post them up. keep your eyes out for them.. they will suck, lol.

about bloody time. I cant wait to get my hands on this... its going to be sweeeeeet!

glad to be helpful 

Ryan: - yeah i was reading about anime studio pro. that sounds pretty good, might check out that demo down the track, while i was looking up 3d modeling programs (character creation programs, like poser) and i came across that and was pretty interested in checking out that program.

Domino: - i read that before, I just wanted to know what people used/recommended

i use photoshop myself, but i wanted something that can animated abit easier (ie like using onion skins and stuff) i mean the sprite in my display picture I made about a month ago and i did it with photoshop and i used the brush tool instead of the pencil tool so there is all a light colour outline around most of the character. so instead of going through each frame, im just going to start from scratch can i dont mind the animation in it but the character I dont know, it can be better,
