I'll just leave this here

%% should show only one % on screen.

if you really ever have 10 children to save as a max just add a 0 and the % sign to the variable in the string. otherwise you calculate this by numberofsavedchildren / maxnumberofchildren * 100. rounding and floattoint might come in useful here too.

is it possible to start a game via the command line to bypass the winsetup? I found nothing in the the help, forum and wiki but I think I've seen it somewhere.

I tried playing Platformerius, but the game page linked to a broken site that was even blacklisted in firefox  . the archive i finally found on the ags archives behaved strange when extracting and didn't have a winsetup. And when running the game exe i get this:



Then again I wouldn't know to what graphics setting I should set the game if 320x200 doesn't work.
maybe the fitting winsetup for this game might help, if there ever was one.

I don't know if this is the correct forum, so I added a question about the command line to the start

and while I'm on it...

the awards page is a cool thing but the link named
Full games page entry
on commercial games without further notice of the game beeing commercial on the awards page will probably evoke feelings of 'I'm so gonna download this now' and then the disappointment of seeing only a demo available for free. So what I'm trying to say here is, that commercial games that only have a demo available in the database should be noted as that on the awards page to avoid frustrated visitors.

And naturally I'm interested in what awards the game has won right on the awards page. Also nominations of course. When displaying the cup rating and the description from the database, displaying the award won and nominated for should be easy to do on the awards page. Right in between the desription and the cupratings seems like a nice place for this.


and actually using *ZOMG* a table for the Award Nominees underneath the winners on the page wouldn't be so bad, as it is tabular data indeed and so the linebreaks would be indented. The current linebreaks look strange. A smaller font could also work as a temporarily fix until longer gametitles come along.

and a minor bug, but probably easier to fix: The from the forums box on the AGS startpage shows the name of the poster as the signup name, not the display name.

the dropdown menu next to the quicksearch on every page has no effect. It always searches the entire forum and not for example the board you are in atm.

took some time to find someone to do the sidtune but it is ready

throw this in any C64 emulator you like

maybe elaborate a bit more on what happened a year before, as the audience wants to know all the dirty details. Or is it planned to find out about this through out the game? But it seems like this is a known case already and the newspapers must have been full of it the year before and now it... is... back! dun-dun-dun

Milk?

I do think every award ceremony needs its one big Best-in-Show award.  The Oscars has 'Best Picture', the Grammys has 'Record of the Year', so I think it doesn't hurt to have one main 'Best AGS Game', commercial or otherwise. Then why not have 'Best Freeware AGS Game' as the secondary (but equally prestigious) title?

That would imply that freeware games have non chance against commercial titles. And if a freeware game wins boths the best game and best freeware we have the same situation.
The (my) solution would be to either have best game, best freeware game and best commercial game, which would mean 2 more new awards or have both, best freeware and best commercial game, and whichever game gets more votes earns the best game of the year and the best freeware/commercial title is just deleted (or included if this sounds better). Or have indeed three categories best game, best freeware, best commercial and then decide by the votes and if best game of the year wins also best freeware or best commercial game this is just taken away (or included) (considering the very slim possibility of something completely different winning best game of the year and none of the best freeware/commercial because of whatever).

btw, now I'm really interested in your De Sade game

good vibes at pax east. I wonder if DaveG is singing along somewhere there...

can AGS handle Photoshop blendmodes over transparency in PNGs in 32 bit? That would be great...

Also the current 404 page image looks a bit blocky and filled with artefacts


So I though, what the heck, I'll clean it up for her

did you overlay a layer in PS and used a blend mode on it? This can be invisible/barely visible in PS over the transparent background but AGS can't handle the blendmode and this happens. Try saving as gif or pong8 and reopen in imageeditor, maybe this makes it visible there.

but it is fun playing around with after effects... and now show some screens pls

I thought about these people on abydos in stargate too, but I've seen the movie way too often to know it's not from the film so I didn't post at all. Besides this post now. So this post is kind of invalid. But I'll click the post button anyways

funny how noone here wants this military shooter game for free even though it has teh best graphic evar!!!11!
