int: Short for integer, just a type for containing basic whole number values.
var: Short for variable, not used anywhere in AGS.
string: A type used to hold "strings" of characters (letters), this text will be held in a string somewhere in your computer.
String: The new type of string in AGS 2.71+, similar, just easier to use.
float: Used in a similar way to int, but can hold floating point numbers, like 3.142
bool: A variable type that can only contain two logical values, true or false.

If you want to store a number somewhere you can do so in a variable of type "int", like

int myVariable;
myVariable = 30;

Read through any programming tutorial for how to use variables.

I don't know what's wrong, try naming the file something else, or try deleting the original file first.

At 20x20 I can't make out any of the current ones, violence is the hardest though, perhaps it is my high resolution...
To be visible without hovering for the alt text, I think they'd need to be very simple icons along the lines of







Hard to give them any AGS charm though.

All you need to do is get an FTP client of some sort; for example Smart FTP, enter in the relevant details( it should be obvious where to enter port), press connect, then drag in any files you want to upload.

You should probably post in (and read) the game uploads thread, if you are having trouble with it.  I think the only way to upload at the moment is through FTP.

Remember that we don't allow posting links to places to get games illegally, my only advice for finding it would be google harder, it's around.  Such a pretty game (and I don't think most AGI games are).

It's actually called "Gold Rush!", by the way.

You didn't come? I thought you were coming...

I just got back, what a lot of fun that was! And thanks to Yufster for making it happen! (Just a pity she was only there for a small part of it, and 90% of that was her talking to Spaff who I begrudgingly admit is a cool guy and exactly perfect for her, ass.)

Thanks for the DS, Spleen (yes I'll get Animal Crossing, Rusalka). Also thanks to Andail for sharing his bed with me, Spaff for the MI coasters and everything else. Really enjoyed hanging out your housemates and Azadeh, Andail.

Photoshop I guess... just overlaying images and erasing or masking out bits so they blend in to each other, it's not rocket science.

I think Custard may be going, by train, arriving a similar time to us.
#651
We're going all the way by bus, via London, this was the cheapest way.
#652
Nobody wanted to say what time they were going to go, so we went ahead and booked, we'll be in Brighton at 12:10pm.

Changes from 2.71:
* Added ability to use any size/resolution of icon, if you save your game with Windows 2000/XP.

Bit odd they should be flv, considering you can stream mp3s in flash but never mind, the simplest way to convert your mp3s to flv would be to use FFMPEG.Ã,  Get it from http://www.videohelp.com/download/ffmpeggui03c.zip and extract somewhere easy to type.Ã,  To convert an mp3 to an flv with no video track use this command:

c:\extractdir\ffmpeg.exe -ab 96 -i input.mp3 output.flv

replace the 96 with whatever bitrate you want the mp3 to be transcoded to.

National Express just started a deal, go anywhere for £18 return, which is actually cheaper than the megabus to London and back would be now.  So we're looking at that, you may not have to pick s up after all.  Yufster, CJ and everyone, what time do you think we should all meet up?
#656
You know where to find pictures of Japanese schoolgirls? on the Internet??
#657
Yeah any date is fine, and if we take the megabus (likely because National Express is over £50!) we'd appreciate somewhere to stay overnight, perhaps we can take up Andail's offer.  50 Swedish girls? Why would we be interested in that...
#658
It should be ok now.
#659
Yeah all it is is I forgot people can change their names when I wrote the login script, I'll fix it and apply the changes, it'll be a few minutes.

Uh, well... is there anything unusual about your password? I'm at a loss really.

Edit: Thinking about it, I might have an idea.
