If anyone else wants to do it in the meantime, i used this script.

function CenterObject(int object,int widthofobject,int heightofobject)
{
int xp=(((320-widthofobject)/2)+GetViewportX());
int yp=(((200+heightofobject)/2)+GetViewportY());
SetObjectPosition (object, xp, yp);
}

I can't script well but it seems to work ok..

7 megs + dlls?  I thought AGS was big enough these days.  I'll get it when my connection is sorted out again.

It works for me.

Anything you get off the internet has to be downloaded before you can play it..
People on fast connections can usually download fast enough to play it as it downloads if you put it in an mp3 or ogg file.
Streaming on slower connections means you'd have to reduce the bitrate a lot.
Whatever, the best thing for you to do is to make it into an mp3 or ogg and upload it the same way you would anything else.  There's no way to avoid users downloading it to hear it, just make sure the file isn't too big, you'd use about a 128 bitrate usually.

Or:
if ((character[blah].inv(10) = 1) && etc etc) {
  AddInventory(2);
  LoseInventory(1);
}

it was missing a ) right?

Yes SMI probably brings in a massive amount of money to Lucasarts nowadays.. I'm really sorry for all the LEC games I've downloaded :'(

Oh wait, I do want Lucasarts to go bankrupt.

Comedy doesn't have to just mean poking fun at or making light of everything.. it should be perfectly possible to make a funny adventure game while keeping the right attitude to the Holocaust.  Although I do think a mainly serious game would be better.
Adventure games have the potential to do anything a film or book can.

You know if you are going to post images you should make them jpgs or gifs or pngs

Not just rename them that.

It does look nice though.. but over 2.5.mb

I like photoshop best for small sprites (or anything really) :p

But in truth at this level all you're using is a 1 px brush at 100% opacity.  Doesn't really matter.

Did you mean to IM me btw Mats_Berglinn?  it seemed a bit random.

Also is your game 256 or high colour?  high colour sprites should be shaded imo, or at least antialised in the interior.

Isn't Grim Fandango an entirely new engine?
Yeah CMI was scumm engine.. but it didn't use the classing LEC interface.  Personally I prefer the CMI one though.

well... are you going to fix it?

I'm making mine right now..

I was wondering, can the bgs be for scrolling rooms?  I think it'd suit this blitz theme.. a cool theme park is hard to get across in one screen I think  If not then I understand.. keeping the res strict and all.

Bigger teams would be good.. but I think extending the challenge to 3 months just increases the chances of teams failing, I think having a one month comp where only a short game is expected is better.  Like a team MAGS type thing.. me, aga, flippy d and alkaline tried a team hour game, it's lasted about a week and a half so far though  But at least we're nearly finihsed because we didn't try something too ambitious.

It's film noir style doesn't have to be monochrome

I'd do a turkey farm, but I doubt gore is allowed and I'm sure you don't want my annoying vegetarian whine pictures anyway

So yeah, haunted house is fine with me.

I'd rather play it soon if you've finished it.  It'll just make more people want to play the end game
It'll probably make the waiting worse though ._.

There are a lot of rules, but the theme gives a lot of room I think, so I'll take part this time.

It's A

I think I think the landmark thing is good because if people do want to use these backgrounds in a game then they're more likely to find something they want rather than if we all do an appliance worship site like now.. I think it should be more of a theme than an exact subject matter.

Las told me I have to play to make up for the Falklands war

It better be good, like those really fine sheep islands.  Downloading

Edit:  Well I would be it the download worked
