I've used Google Checkout, mostly because you get $10 off a purchase at Buy.com when you use GC for the first time.

PS-mdyoung40, you posted in the wrong thread.

[must]

Does it really matter? Just tell your translator not to bother with them... And the hotspots I believe are from your first room, not the Global messages.

[Edit]: Just checked, the hotspots are from the room. You could always go through and delete all the hotspot names in a room, and then save it as a room template. But since the translation only lists those once, it doesn't really matter, does it?

Also, if you must get rid of these, you could try creating a game in 2.72 empty game template and delete them from the Global Messages, then update to AGS 3.x

~Trent

Well, you can't change properties at run-time (I assume you used the built in schema).. but there's many ways to so this. Structs, arrays, local vars, and my personal fav-extender functions.

I'd suggest creating another script (as if doing a module) and creating variables (or a dynamic array-see manual entry) in the module script. Create Get and Set (and Mod, if you want) functions that change and return those variables. Add the import declarations in the module header and you should be done.


~Trent
PS-Yeah I know that didn't explain much, but I'm tired now. I'll probably come back later with a script or something, or someone else may explain a better way.

Woo-hoo! Congratulations Vince!!

So will he be your video sidekick when Resonance is released?


~Trent

thanks it looks beautifull, i'm using 640x600 backgrounds rendered in terragen and it looks on par with commerical games like kingsquest or lucas arts games,

Sounds good. Lemme direct you to a few threads.

I have ideas for a plot now I just needs sprites and scripting.

Check out the Recruit-A-Team

I wish I knew how to post a screenshot of my first landscape.

And How to Post Screenshots sticky and the Critic's Lounge forum.


Also, welcome to AGS! Glad to have another enthusiastic game maker.
~Trent

lone-a, have you picked 'Run without debugger' or 'Build EXE' from the Build menu? Have you set your Preference correctly? (File->Preferences...->Test Game Style (question in the top left))

Running at fullscreen isn't really that big of a deal. Yeah, I like to play my games at fullscreen. But I could care less about it's res when I'm making it.


~Trent

Is there a reason you need 3 different items? Why couldn't you give 3 copies of iRadish?

-Supposing they have different graphics, but are not available at once--> you can use the item.Graphic/CursorGraphic properties.
-If they have the same graphic, and can be available together--> switch the general option 'Display multiple inventory items multiple times'


Just a couple ideas to toss out.
~Trent

Set a global variable, then check that variable in the end room's 'before fade-in' script.


~Trent

What's your on_key_press code look like?

~Trent

Be the character "Janitor" from Scrubs.

~Trent

Make sure they can't trace you to the drinking pictures on your Facebook/Myspace/Copyatsocialnetworkingsite page. Never happened to me, but I have heard stories of using Social Networking as a quick and easy 'background check'

~Trent

Does that mean the designs will be Public Domain (or at least, public for the AGS community) so that someone can start working on it?

Thoroughly enjoyed the vid, so thanks for posting it. I think the other two contestants over-complicated their games and tried too hard on the presentation. But I bet that's a big thing you have to deal with when pitching to execs and investors, so I think the lack of time and indie background really helped you out!


~Trent

I assume this only happens with LucasArts speech, right?

[2 years of hosting for free]

Check it!

“In honor of WebRing” or something, we are now offering to the first 1000 GeoCities users who sign up TWO YEARS of a completely free DreamHost account (including domain registration)!

No strings attached.

All you have to do is verify you are an existing GeoCities customer by creating a page on your GeoCities account (or editing an existing page) to have the phrase “I’m off to DreamHost!” on it!

Then when you signup for us, simply put the full url to that page as your “promotional code” and you’ll get a 2 year plan (normally $214.80) free!

And we promise to never shut down.

So for you GeoCities owners, just add the phrase to your homepage and you'll get 2 years of hosting for free!

~Trent

[Edit]: You could still try this, but I've heard that it might be dead... They probably already got 1000 users. If you're still interested, the sign-up link is here(no credit card required if you do this deal, you'll put the promo code in at the very bottom).


~Trent

Change the visibility to 'Normal, initially on' for the gui. Then you'll have to script some code that lets it scroll in in your rep_exec. There was a thread recently that asked this, here.

The behavior you mention is just what happens (AFAIK) with the 'When mouse moves to top of screen' visibility mode.

My bro has been to Japan a couple times over the last few years, and he's bought some pens that are specifically designed for writing kanji (the Japanese characters that are randomly printed on American t-shirts). My other bro, the artist prodigy, loved using them for inking.

You might want to check your local Asian market/supply store for something like that (though most merchandise at those stores are food and untensils)


~Trent

I'd go gui, since it takes 4.8 seconds to make one. And you could always check out the FadingThingsNonBlocking module (or whatever its called, can't remember off the top of my head)

[Edit]: Indeed, that is the name, and you can find it here. Seems it has some trouble with 3.1.2, but shouldn't be too hard to get working.

~Trent

What if you checked -1 from each X, Y value. Not sure, but could the Inv.GetXY (that's supposed to be shortened) be triggering something crazy if a Gui is in the way?

~Trent
PS-I checked the error typo too. Hehe, nice find.

Gue files are old, so you need to do a few steps:

1)load it into 2.72
2) upgrade the project to 3.1
3) (if needed) export to .guf file
