I'm still at the cow, I've seen your hints about how to move it, but I can;t figure out what to do when it actually moves!! He can't walk on the left, he doesn;t want to touch manger....

Help! I am so lost IÃ,  can't even find the penny. I talked to the hare and the wom,an who wants pomegrate juice I also got a match, a lump of coal, and a pestle in addition to the stuff you get on the first screen like a crosshair and a flint. Can anyone help me? :'(Ã, 

If I remember correctly , the penny is in your house. I think you have to search the furniture?

What interesting info! This should be documented somewhere, no?
...or is it already?

The technical part may be documented, but the question was about experimented tactics and experienced difficulties ...

But I'm sure I 'll mess it enough to have to ask in theÃ,  beginners' as well ...doh!

It's always recommended to make the basic game in English, since when using TTF font, those extra characters with ASCII #>127 can only be used if you're using a translation, they may not be displayed correctly when you using them directly in the basic game.
So if you don't want to use a translation, all the accented letters, etc. extra symbols must be moved to the first half of the font file, which is not very practical in case most people like to import directly a premade TTF file.

Which means that I write everything in english and then I translate the 'french ' lines...

Thanks

I could translate a french or greek game in english for you (and vice versa , of course) but I'm not professional in any way.

I can also think of something for your story, I have lots of ideas but can't realise them myself.

PM me or use cp_11141@hotmail.com ...unless I 'm playing a game and have no time in my hands at all!!!Ã, 

Hi

From experience, do you think it's easier to mess with fonts, or make the game in english and then translate the whole thing? I tried to import ttf etc, but it still doesnt recognise them or I manage to create other , previously unknown bugs...  
I may think of a way to dodge it sooner or later,  but I 'd like to know what's worked best for most special-fonts using people.
Anyway, I'm asking because the reason I started using AGS was to make a non-adventure educational game for teaching french (and then I kind of got carried away). It' s useless if I can't use french in it, right?

I think most times all these things are really difficult...so we get prepared for teh worse, do our best in preparation and then ..it's all easy because we worked for it...

However, a lot of the authors of older games have disappeared and even their last known e-mail address won't work.

I don't know about old games, but somebody could keep a copy from now on and upload upon demand?

I first thought of aÃ,  cd collection or something, but AGS users are not based in one region...

Hi, I opened the walkthrough but all it says is next. Could someone help me or copy it and post it here? Thanks.

The text is white, you'll have to change the colour....

Oh, OK, but promise you'll try it the hard way first!!!

Subtlest hint ever!!

Spoiler

Nothing happens when I interract with the door.Ã,  I had already tried that.

Spoiler

Did the hotspot appear when you hovered your mouse over teh door?Did Jack talk to you? He should give you a key. When you interact the door , at the hotspot of course, a dialogue should run and you get a big yellow key

I posted a walkthrough, but no one seems to have discovered itÃ,  and I think I like it!!!

Thank you... but I'm just stuck right away again.

Spoiler

Ã,  I keep saying I'm going to the store.Ã,  I have the coat and handbag.. and looked in the handbag and got a bunch of stuff, but I can't leave or do anything else.

[close]

Spoiler

interact with the door . You'll find out it's locked(!) and you'll get a key during the dialogue...

[close]

In general, when you are stuck, look if you enabled anything with your last actions...

Hi all.Ã,  I am in need of some help.

Spoiler

I made the coffee and gave it to my friend.Ã,  I tried to search the bookshelf, but nothing happened.Ã,  I talk to the friend, and I just keep saying that I'm going to make the coffee.Ã,  What am I missing?

[close]

Spoiler

Interact with the bookcase at its middle-right. It should make you wish something and then another person appears. Try to pick up a few things from the house, wherever they are available, because you 'll need them much later in the game

hello,nice game but I'm stuck and have no clue...

Spoiler

I'm in the cave and on the screen with the heiroglyphics and index...have no idea what to do next? noticed one of them is missing or am i wrong?

[close]

Spoiler

interact with all, look at them and then use the knife you get on them. What items do you have?

[close]

I can't even figure out how to make a cup of coffee , nothing "lights up" when I move my mouse over something when it comes to the kitchen so how can I interact with the kitchen / make coffee without the ability to use the sink , a cup , ect?

Spoiler

If you hang the coat you should activate the mugs. Look at them, interact with them and search for ingredients

As a general hint, you may need to do things to make other things happen...

Check the thread in hints or I risk to make this one off topic...I think.

edit
I tried to add this in the AGS games page but it won't let me...What is the process?

[Look]

Spoiler

I'm currently in the cave/temple and Anubis is telling me he needs to get something out of the snake's mouth???Ã,  I've tried using every inventory item on all hotspots I can find, which aren't many in this screen.Ã,  Can't progress further.

Try this:

Lookat the cat inÃ,  your inventory items....

I'm noticing a number of bugs like I've already made coffee yet every time after that the game keeps telling me to make coffee.Ã,  ???Ã, 

It seems I didn't make clear that the "second" coffee is just chatting with her friend...Things should work after you give her the first cup...

EDIT - Ok, I got it. And I saw this in the readme:

This is a tester demo for my Long Expected Friday (LEF) game.

What gives? Is it a full game or a demo?

It is full a game , I just forgot to change the line in the readme...

wow, youve already gone over bandwidth transfer. hope you can get it to a new site soon.

Sorry for that, it hadn't occur before with my normal traffic...

and you're fine in the beg. forum.

Thanks, I hope you'll remember that when I dive in again...
