So you are an artist, but you can't afford Photoshop and Gimp is too crappy for you (which it really is!). You should try the open source GFX editing software Krita!

maybe use some jabber client?!

what about a Large area, a barren land under which lava flow, which has built-in collapse-points on which some person sits, if said person is removed then the whole land collapses and all inhabitants are doomed. That special person keeps doing the same thing over and over (eg carving lines on some piece of paper or other object), and someone argues it is a code, that reveales something terrifying, which all others believe so they have to get rid of him or go crazy with their lies and false believes. 

This is looking nice Funkpanzer. Very colorful. I want to play it now!!!

I'll throw in some guesses

@selmiak: update the profile.dat, as described by Snarky.

I was in the normal #ags IRC with the same nick, that broke the client. A message, that the nick is already in use would be preferred
Deleting the profile.dat and retrying with a new nick helped.

the GUI for the text with the black transparent BG is very annoying and blocks for the action.
Can you remove it or give an option to remove it?

Personally I would rather have the text in the empty space to the left between the top buttons and the lower clapping buttons... (and limited in lenght to not bleed into the stage. But that might just be me

one for each point

CW has a point there, but the wiki needs volunteers that always keep it up to date and are invested enough in the plugins to scan the forums for news and write wiki articles. Without some incentive I don't see that happening much. My suggestion is, if we get a new category of 'Module/Plugin' for the AGS database, an unmissable reminder to also add the module to the wiki (and the forums) with the link CW just posted would be nice. Maybe it is annoying, but it could work better when it happens once you set the category to module/plugin as a popup and also AGAIN a message when clicking submit my game/module. Either again on that page or on the "Module submitted" page you get after submitting it. AGA could show his brave coding skillz and make the link on that page link to a "create new wiki page" page that already has the name of the module just submitted in the link so it is more convenient for the module author. Writing a module ís hard, having to write a summary is too when you are a coder and not a presenter, posting this to a forum thread, the ags database and the wiki is just tedious (but also just copy+paste in the end).
maybe someone has an even better idea how to streamline these 3 ressources!

Thinking about it, the advenaced tech forum has a warning in red when opening a new thread, something like this for the modules forum with a reminder of the new database entry possibility and a reminder for the wiki (including the link to the modules overview) should also go there.

nah, he's just a robot selling robots, like everything else in there

Looking good guys, keep it up!

Oh my. Was it that big last year? I could've sworn it was less than a quarter that size.

there might be some awesome animations that eat up lots of space....

fun! with fidget spinners. And the end is cool!

You probably should not be editing each page individually. As cat mentioned in her post above, there is a template for "manual entry" which supposed appears on every page in manual category:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/wiki/Template:Manual_entry

But, wiki is not interesting to me, I do not want to decide anything about it.

direct links would be more convenient, but there you go, the manual entry template now also links to the /manual

Is this the WHOLE MANUAL delivered with the AGS editor in ONE FILE??? That is nice and a great source. But then you'd have to know or learn LaTeX to edit the manual, which is another barrier, but it's like that it seems.

I do not know if this was sarcasm, but having it in one file does not really make it a great source, because it makes it difficult to search and edit.

not really sarcasm, just too quick to post, it is a great source as it is all in one place, but somehow I clicked send before writing down what you wrote down. split it in parts to make it load faster and easier to edit and all the format changes from the other threads... but for that, the other thread is there, push it to restart the discussion or do something, I have no idea about LaTeX or .chm formats or whatelse is out there

what about this for a start?
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/wiki/Credits_(manual)

What about it?

the forum software screwed up the link, click it again in my edited post...

http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/wiki/Credits_(manual)

sorry, my fault, I just assumed you were talking about this /wiki manual and didn't know that /manual was something different but somehow the same and just didn't click the link. sorry for wasting your time and making you post the links once more.


The ags.tex has (WARNING) very long loading times.
Is this the WHOLE MANUAL delivered with the AGS editor in ONE FILE??? That is nice and a great source. But then you'd have to know or learn LaTeX to edit the manual, which is another barrier, but it's like that it seems.

wohah, there is also an outdated manual on the ags server... all the time I was thinking you were talking about this manual-wiki: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/wiki/Contents_(manual)
which is hosted on the same domain but even more outdated! This is a mess, time for some spring clean up

So my opinion on this is, one of the 2 manuals  on adventuregamesudio.co.uk has to go. Whichever one is easier to update from one source should stay, so probably the static manual you just linked to should stay, if at all. we need _one definite source_ for the manual. There the wiki I just linked would be great as everyone can edit and update with a forum account. But then all the changes would have to be transfered to git again. So my conclusion is, the definite source for the manual should be on github, where it is already and where the binaries of the engine are too. This also means, all these wikipages in the http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/wiki/ domainrange either just disappear or redirect to... either the manual on http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/manual/ or to the manual on github. oh the messy confusion...
It is kind of bitter and if some interested person wants to write some good changes to the manual, this person first needs to make a github account. This could be a barrier for some, but if you really want to help make the AGS manual better this should not stop you. my opinion, not a fact. it sure is convenient to have the option to write changes to the wiki with a forum account, but who does that anyways, so imho github is the main source...


just out of curiosity, how would you change stuff in the manual on git? How do you edit this:
https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/blob/master/Manual/htmlfiles/acintro.htm
and is there a way to display the html on github as it would show in the browser or within the AGS helpwindow?

Looks more like running than walking, but for that is is really cool! Especially the heir of the right gal. Those pockets in her jacket....

a link would be helpful?
to all pages, the old page on ags, the new page on ags, the new page on git please.

So, reuploaded the video with sound this time and updated the previous post with the video. All those glorious 3 clicks already are gone again
