Hi guys.
I have read a lot of discussions on this forum about which resolution is "best" and all the advices, but I see that most of the posts are over 5 years old. That's why I hope it's ok to ask again:
1) Which resolutions would you recommend and why isn't the highest possible resolution the best solution.
2) When I am trying to work with the rooms with high resolution backgrounds, I can't zoom out enough, and it is complicated to work scrolling around the room all the time, or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you very much for all the advices!

Thanks, guys!

Thank you evry much for the answer

Hey guys.
I have read some topics on the board about releasing the AGS games, but there are a lot of answers and discussions and I can't say I am 100% sure how it works.
I am in process of making a game with AGS, and I wonder if there is an easy process to make the game available for Steam and if it possible to make it available for Mac users. I have seen some topics of how to compress the game for mac, but it looks very complicated and impossible for people without a computer science degree? So My questions are:
Can I make my game available for Steam and Can I make it availabke for Mac users?

Thank you very much, and I am sorry if there are already answerd to these questions, I just found a lot of different and contradictory answers.

Thank you! Perfect

Hello. I didn't find the right issue in the forum, but I wonder if I can use variables in the dialog both options and text. For example:

Option Text:
Hey, what are you doing here, [NAME]?

and
Ego: Hello! What a nice car, is it a [CAR_MODEL]?

Thank you

Sure, that is actually not a big deal. First you need to resize the gAction GUI to your game's screen resolution (eg 320x200)
Now you need to copy over this adjusted  AdjustActionBarPosition function to your template and make sure it is called in repeatedly_execute_always

Code: ags

void AdjustActionBarPosition() 
{
  int actionLabelWidth = GetTextWidth(ActionLine.Text, eFontTextOut) + 4;
  int actionLabelHalf = actionLabelWidth / 2;
  int xpos = mouse.x - actionLabelHalf ;
  int ypos = mouse.y - Game.SpriteHeight[mouse.GetModeGraphic(mouse.Mode)] - 4;
  
  if (xpos + actionLabelWidth >= System.ScreenWidth) xpos = System.ScreenWidth - actionLabelWidth;
  else if (xpos < 0) xpos = 0;
  
  if (ypos < 0 ) ypos = 0;
  
  ActionLine.X = xpos;
  ActionLine.Y = ypos;
  ActionLine.Width = actionLabelWidth;
}

This is perfect! Thank you. But is it possible to hide the actionline when starting an action, in an easy way?
"Talk to character" for example is still on the screen (highlighted) when the dialog goes on. And sometimes those texts even overlap each other.

Thank you!
