how do you get an image from paint to ags? please help

Welcome to the secret fraternity that is the garble thread. Please write something Crazy, draw a picture, and then insult the last person who posted. I'll go first.

I'm a beliemic goldfish

Actually i am not sure how to get a picture onto ags so the picture is dead

I am a retarded little schoolgirl

now you guys go!

I am having trouble animating my backgrounds. I want to make a house with smoke coming out. Whenever i pull another background up it says that the old one was 640/430 and the new one is 527/430. I made sure they were the same size but the problem still occurs. Help me, experienced ags'ers. 

I want to make a character model for george bush but i cant draw a character model that fits well or looks like bush. Please make one for me

Sorry, but lincoln was a republican conservative. He wasnt a liberal

John kerry is a weiner. He wouldnt take over the world. I am also poking fun at star wars. Also, i need the head drawn by you. That photo could only run on the super high resolution and color depth

Yes it works fine. I dont like going through the trouble to create characters and script conversations. I draw a person into the background, turn them into a hotspot, choose the talk option in interactions, and do Game-Display a message, and make it so it disappears after a certain time. I have found this to work very well. I also have some newbie ways to use a puzzle with this.

Make it so that a character in background is guarding a door. If you talk to them they say that you need a key card.  Later you find a mysterious woman. She gives you a hint to find the key, like to search a drawer. You search that drawer, then use the key card with the guard.

I've been messin with AGS for over a year, but i am still a forum newbie. I am also one of the most notorious posters here.

Poop743 rules!

Please see the debate thread and help me with my game

I have a great idea. It is an adventure game inspired by the contents of this thread. i am calling it America: The Game. It will be funny and comically highlight many of america's shortcomings and problems. Please tell me about your ideas. In my game George Bush is wearing a darth vader mask and tells dick cheney that he is his father. John Kerry is Luke Skywalker. Can someone draw a character of george bush and bush wearing a darth vader mask. The one I made is way too small and i need one drawn to scale. I know thta I have been a jerk, but i also know that people here are happy to help me.

Please feel free to give ideas and character models for the game

I know you guys think im full of crap, but my friend is Chris reeve's cousin. I sent him this thread. He isnt related by blood, only his aunt's marriage. His name is Mcnally Lee. I dont no, but maybe you could link that name to chris reeves. I dunno.

I have to come clean. Im not 13, Im 12. I dont know too much about politics but i feel I have a valid argument scattered throughout this thread. The american government was created by countless men, and some of the greatest mids the country has ever known. I dont think there is a single way to save america. Every change would help some but contradict something else. I think that if we take it one issue at a time and organize this this thread, or start a new one,  we migh tcome up with something pretty good though.

I have a few things to clear up. I'm only 13 and I'm not an idiot. My school may be private but yuou still need to be a really good student to get in, and I'm ranked 2nd in my class of 80 for grades.

I have heard too much about communism. Communism destroys motivation to succeed. Let u ssay that ina fictional community, half th epeople make 1 dollar a year and the other half make 3 dollars a year. Except th egovernement rearranges it so that everyone makes 2 dollars a year. Suddenly, the people making 3 dollars stop working really hard because they figure no matter what they do, they make 2 dollars. The people making 1 dollar stop working altogether, figuring the rich people can take care of them. Suddenly there is no money to go around.

Communism doesnt work. The only place where communism might work is in a small isolated village.

Stop dissing America. If we have so many problems, then why are we the most powerful country in the world? The average american worker makes 38,000 dollars a year. Thats not bad.

My parents dont make as much as you think. Last year my dad made 750k before taxes and business expenses. We only got 275k worth of cash to spend, because he put 200k into his offices and other investments.

John Kerry isnt fit to run a country. He has a 20 year history of bad choices. I admit that Bush is a little shady, but a country doesnt get as powerful as america without being a little shady.

It is a known fact that the higher up a hill you climb, the farther you fall when you trip. America is at the top of its hill. I only hope that it doesn't trip.

I think this should be moved to the popular threads forum. This started as a thread about the debates. It became a debate about ethics and beliefs..and...ummm....canada.

But i do have one more counterpoint. There was a list in my newspaper about all of kerry and bush's beliefs. Every single thing i said about what kerry wanted to do as president was factual. Maybe canada doesnt hav free collge, but besides that im right.

Maybe the fact that you guys believe this way  is the reason that your countries[excluding my fellow americans out there]
are incredibly weak compared to my country.

And with that I leave this thread forever. Also, I really am DGmcaphee.............or am I?

Land doesnt matter! Can you fight a war with land! I think not. Also canada isnt 8/10 of our value. We are only a relatively weak dollar because of inflation and the fact that we have trillions of dollars more than you. Take great britain for example. A pound is worth 1.75 american dollars. Are they 75% larger than us? no. Yes it is true the canadian dollar has been getting more valuable though. Also, thankx for PEI and the 500k I made there! Cheers.

PS. Your beer sucks

Amen to that, Shbazjinkens

That is what I have been trying to say all along. I could make a million good points, but if i call liberals hippies at the end of my post suddenly im an idiot. I'm one of 4 children. My school costs 22,000 dollars a year per child. Thjats before taxes. If taxes get higher, i will either have to transfer schools or my parents will have to sell one of our beloved beach houses.

Also i have some tips to get rich for you guys. There is a place in canada called PEI. We bought a house there 200k american 4 years ago. We just sold it for 700k american. Its a goldmine people!

Do not fear wealth, embrace it! There is a fortune waiting for all of you. And if one of you happens to make over 200k one day, or if you make over 200k right now, i urge you to seem my side.

America is about opportunities, not just free handouts. Nothing is straight out given to you right away. There is no excuse to be homeless in America today. If youre willing to work you can be anyone in america.

About the debate: John kerry said bush lead us into Iraq with a bad plan! Who the hell is John kerry to say bush made a bad plan. What does he think bush does? Sit there in a friggin war room all day and write up plans for war? No.
He cant make laws either. He just passes and vetoes laws. All day.

I recently made a game called Dirk's Adventure. You woke up on an island with a headache and began asking questions in the village. After going through a secret tunnel in the catacombs of a church, you find a key and  a strange charter. You go to the boathouse and take a boat to the kingdom of asgarnia. You find that you are the true king, and you eventually dethrone the reigning king.

It wasnt great but it had 33 rooms with alot to do. The only problems were the poor graphics.

I am working on a sequel. I want it to be about a problem that occurs as he is king. A challenger for the throne? An invading army? Also i need some good puzzle ideas. If you come up with a puzzle that requires scripting, can you include the reccomended code too.

Please help me with the puzzles and the story.

If you want your game to look more like somethign you made, just use paint. My first game was simple. I drew a detailed room on paint and saved it as room1.bmp in my ags file. When you looked at a drawer you found a key, which you used to get out of the room. From there you explored all of the rooms, talked to people, and uncovered a plot to turn the world into zombie slaves. One of the objects was a sword, and my game had a loose combat system.

One of the better parts was how you collected gold coins and traded them in for new weapons and vehicles. It wasnt a graphical masterpiece, but it was really fun to play.

AGS want meant to be made with downloaded backgrounds

actually, escargot, you should get your facts right. My parents are getting taxed 52% right now. Think of what Kerry will do. I know alot about kerry despite my age

John Kerry:
-wants to ban the pledge of allegiance in schools  because it has "god" in it

-Isnt going to allow us to drill for oil in alaska, even though the amount of oil there is ridiculous, because he cares about polar bears

-Is going to weaken america because we need a strong cowboy right now, not some hippy dippy senator

-Is going to cut military funding and leave america in shambles

- Wants to develop a plan to get all able-minded americans into college. I like the idea, but we just dont have the money for that, and the ttax burden would take more away from america than college puts in. Jobs requiring diplomas wont pay as much anymore, because everyone would have a degree.

-Wants to end all of the nuke-building in america. I feel safe in america knowing we are the only country with hundreds of nukes to back us up. I couldnt sleep easy without them.

Kerry is nobody. Liberals just vote fpr him because he isnt bush.

Example: Canada! Canada has free healthcare and college, yet their country has not grown very much. They are 1/10 of the american population and 1/50 of our army, and 1/100 of our value.

The future of the world is republicans. Some call us mean capitalistic scumbags, I call us the leaders of tomorrow. When something needs to get done  we do it. We dont save polar bears like pansies.

hahah id like to see the replies to this

Here is an idea: Make another character. Run a conversation when you talk to that person. Only one option gives you an item you need.

ie. Your cvharacter needs to get off an island to save his brother. He needs a pass to rent a boat to leave the island. Have him haggle with the boat lady or something.

I used that puzzle once


Here is an easier idea. You need a key to leave the room. Draw a bookcase and many other things into the background. Make one of the bookcase shelves a hotspot. Set it so that when you look at one of theshelves and search it, you get a key.

I know a great place for a site and a domain name. Its about 80 dollars for a year, 130 dollars for 2 years. You get a cool domain name like www.Adventuregames.com or something. You get a very easy to use and easy to customize, it comes with a main page and up to 5 supporting pages.

        www.verisign.networksolutions.net

          It might just be verisign right now the site changed. But anyway try those out if youre willing to pay. You can also spend 30 dollars on a domain name and then get the site free somewhere else, but your best bet is there. Great service, very professional, cool sites.
