It's not so much about how much you stuff into rep_ex_always, it's more about what.

Great podcast, as always!

Thank you!

Apologies, that was bad phrasing on my part. I did distinctly mean it doesn't support 3D by default, and that the engine's designed for 2D games really.

Seems a bit silly to question an entire publication's quality based on one dodgy sentence, mind. And I can assure you I didn't just throw the articles together - I'm an AGS developer myself, so I like to think I do know what I'm rambling about. :-)

The phrasing is what annoyed me, yep. Re-reading my post, I come across very harsh, as you point out! Part of it is because I put a LOT of effort into developing one of the 3D plugins for AGS - that's why I absolutely hate to read articles and comments underneath these articles that make it look like "it can't do 3D". Of course, I am not seriously trying to doubting rock paper shotgun's quality because of this statement.

@Ali: how is it fair to AGS's 3D capabilities to say: "the only thing AGS can't do is 3D" when that is 100% false? It's true that there haven't been any big 3D AGS releases yet and it's certainly wrong to call it a 3D adventure toolkit as you say, but I fail to see what that has to do with anything. AGS can do 3D by usage of freely downloadable plug-ins. That's a fact and it's simply wrong and unfair to claim otherwise!

Ah, rock paper shotgun is supposed to be a good. Unfortunately both articles very clearly state that AGS can't handle 3D. They should research better, there's a number of plugins (some of which I developed) that allow all kinds of 3D rendering...

There's a software called "Print Screen" by TheKeyboardCompany. It's free and works really well. Google it!

Oh, misunderstood the problem there, sorry. There is a way to open it in the system settings but it's easier clicking the speaker icon. Apparently "sndvol" only works on Vista and newer..?

What is run > sndvol on XP sp 3? Yay

Hit the Windows button + R and type in "sndvol". It's your Windows mixer.

Haha, thanks!

Haha, thanks. I actually had to think very hard about how you found out my last name, I assume through the FoY page?

Cheers guys, and thanks for all the flowers.

BTW, for anybody still waiting for the AGS raycaster pseudo-3d plugin and Troopers (and FOY ) - they are still in the works!!

dkh: I really like those pics mate. Wish I could take my piano and go out to play :p

Heh, yep, I noticed taking your instrument out into the environment can really give great inspiration at times. The place you are playing at can really change your mood and mind - musically, I guess that's mostly noticeable when composing or improvising. Thanks!

A place I like to go and play guitar in the early morning.

Thanks, Tuomas!

Happy Birthday, Mark (m0ds)! What did you do and what did you get? Thanks a lot for the FoY-project as well, you are doing a great job leading it!

Oh, darn it. Thanks SSH. But I know that Rachmaninov (sp?) did make a cover of it or something. I have an old record by him that features this track...

Make sure to read the additional notes I wrote on the page.
The sound is better on the first.

This was 1 1/2 years ago in california. Right now my hear is long (over my shoulders)...

I'm bumping this to congratulate Ashen for his 26th birthday...

You have been very active, friendly and helpful especially in the beginners and advanced technical forums.

Happy birthday!

EDIT: And I can't spell today.

Wow, somebody actually mentioned my birthday in this thread.

Several months ago I'd never have dreamed of that...

Thanks, Pablo!
