so what difference would the ogg format make if its running in wine anyway?

Wine doesn't support the format they were using before, so instead of seeing the logo, you'd just see an error. (It would then continue the game, so it wasn't a huge problem) Now, it works great. go to winehq.org and get one for your distro.

No, you use Wine to run the Windows executable in Linux. Not sure about MAC, probably the same thing though. Apart from a minor mouse acceleration issue, it runs perfectly.

Linux, it works amazingly, I use linux almost 99 percent of the time.  For MAC, there's also a port of wine.  See here http://davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/

OK, so, I'm crazy, and I JUST upgraded from AGS 2.7x, and I made a new room, and I need it to go to a new room when you go to the left or right, so my script is like this:

// room script file

function room_LeaveLeft()
{
player.ChangeRoom(6, 16, 15);
}

function room_LeaveRight()
{
player.ChangeRoom(5, 16, 187);
}

what the heck did I do wrong?

Well, there's a reference, isn't it?
The tree tombom62 made?

yeah, I know it's pretty bad, thanks a lot for the tutorial!  I see what andail is saying though.

I think it's quite impossible to make a tutorial for an isolated object such as a tree, without taking into account that trees come in hundreds of different shapes and colours, and furthermore their appearances (corrected spelling by me) depend heavily on the environment.
You can't really present one model tree and expect it to fit anywhere. A tree can be a jumble mess of twisted branches, another can be just a huge expanse of foliage.

Yes, I always hated my tree there, I did, personally like the colours though, I think I will try inCreator's tutorial there, then try to apply MY colour palate. 

I like that tutorial, pretty neat.

In other news, your branches seem elastic or maybe stretchy.  It's like they suddenly shoot out like Mr Fantastic shooting his arms out to grab some coffee from across the room.  But branches can be in all types of configurations and twists and turns, so your branches aren't totally wrong but the way the leaves seem to sit in a pile on the tip-top of them really adds to the weirdness.  Good to see you're working on some art though, everyone goes through these tough stages, just keep at it.

Thanks, tRP!  I agree with you on that, I am going to make the branches a bit more um.. let's say.. realistic.  And thanks again guys, I will post art tonight!  (it's early in the morning where I live, so It could be a while)

thanks,

Thanks for the replies guys, I will post my new pic after I finish it.  and I will try and compare it to real trees, and some trees from KQ mabey (?sp?)

That says it all, I want to make a good KQ/QfG style scene, so I found a screen of the type of style I wanted, and made a tree to add to it for practice (the background of the scene wasnt made by me, just the tree was.

Take a look:

I know it cucks, I sorta like the trunk, but the top leves and stuff REALLY are horrible!!  Help with everything really, this is the best I've done, as you can tell I suck.

thanks in advance,
tombom

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  It is still about 3 hours left here

Mine's like that.  I like it.  LOL!  butt.

I've heard mixed things about the quality of Dell machines over the years. How do they hold up nowadays? For that matter, what model would you recommend for someone just getting into college?

I hate dell!  But that's an opinion, I don't like them now.  (as of '05, there year when they seemed to go from bad, to worse) for you I think this is a good comp for your needs:

And about this:

OMG!  I might just have to do that to my laptop!

Yeah, I was shocked when I figured that out, I'm glad to see that 001web didn't really blow it!!  Glad you like it!

Ok, I have such bad luck with free webhosts!   It's down temporarily, I transferring to another host and will give everyone the new address when it's up.

EDIT; Fixed!

Ok, I know I'm not a frequent poster here, but I wanted to mention my blog I just started. 
http://tombom.001webs.com/
It's a website/podcast/computer tutorial site.  I will write tutorials and post them, I already have one up.  It's about how to make a podcast free (from planning, to recording, to editing, to publising, and listing in itunes)  I hope to write more large, and easy to understand tutorials like this.  Please comment on the blog here, and on the posts. 8)

The page goes fine for me.  Cool!  Nice site, I will keep checking it.

OK, How do you spell it then?

What a goo d idea!

I thought I spelled it wrong. sp? means don't correct this 'cause I think it's spelled wrong.   clicked it and the link still works, try again, Toumas.

I install It (on vista) to C:\ags and get the .rar, not exe installer.  And the manual..... I know there's an online version if that one doesn't work.... *googles* ah... here is the Wiki Manual:
http://www.americangirlscouts.org/agswiki/Contents_(manual)

The AGS download is a self-installing EXE file, so it sounds like you've downloaded the wrong thing. Go back to the download page and make sure you're clicking the right link.

they mean the old version, just download WINRAR.

YEah, it's funny when you go in the recycle bin, and when you first boot up, and everything.

OH YEAH, look at this baby:
