LucasArts GUI Help Thread (NEW Scumm GUI Available!)

I follow this one too from time to time, but I'm afraid I forgot to reply

Hello - after toying with different ideas I decided to give a go to the Lucasarts 9 verbs template. Now this may be a silly question but, what is the best way to "reset" it? I mean, when you create the template there is already two rooms, two character, and various items. I am concerned that if I start deleting them to put my own game elements it may screw up the GUI. Is there anything I should be aware of before I start messing with this?

GUI is usually made in a way to be separated from actual game objects, rooms, inventory items etc. Essential parts are GUI panels themselves and related script module(s).

Thanks, in this game I will try to generate a new game with the template, clean up the pre-existing game, and put my own elements. Thanks!

I would like to make a game with this template.

I have two doubts: it's been a long time since the first message, is it necessary to install the proskitos template or the one that comes with the game is already ok?

Another doubt: I would like to use a bit strange resolution for my game: 1024x1024 for the "game space" and a bit more to make way for the classic Lucas Arts menu. I thought about putting 1024x1024 but the menu is placed on the background.

I thought then to put 1024x1100. My logic was that if I put more spaco below, the menu will go on the bottom but the menu doesn't seem to move. Is there an option to place the menu that I haven't seen?


Sorry if my English is not very good.

Erm, this is an ancient thread, and frankly I'd suggest that it should be locked and unpinned, and a new sticky thread made if necessary with up-to-date info.

The newest module version that comes with AGS is called "Tumbleweed Verbs" (a parody on "Thimbleweed Park" game) and its thread may be found here:

I would suggest 960x1080, that way it at least matches Full HD vertically.
To move a GUI, change its "left" and "top" properties.

Thanks a lot to both of you
