nope

Demon Stalkers

yup, that's it.

Sure:


This one's from MS-DOS, the ones before were from Amiga and Spectrum Next.

here's another one:

I actually played this on MAME over 20 years ago, even though the emulation speed wasn't great at the time.

Anyway - anyone recognizes this?

Is it Power Drift?

Test 123, Cleantalk is awful!

Could you please test this portion of Doors::AnyClickSpecial ? I've marked the part I've changed.

Code: ags

else if (Verbs.UsedAction(eGA_WalkTo)) {
    if (Doors.GetDoorState(door_id) == 1) {
      if ( verbsData.exitDoorDoubleclick && DoubleClick.Event[eMouseLeft] ) 
      {
        if (Verbs.MovePlayerEx(player.x, player.y, eWalkableAreas) > 0 ) player.EnterRoom(nr_room, nr_x, nr_y, nr_dir);
        result = 2;
      }
      else 
      {
        if (Verbs.GoTo(2)) {
          // Start Test
          if (Verbs.ExtensionEx(1, verbsData.location_clicked)=='e') {
            int player_x = player.x, 
                player_y = player.y;
                
            int offset = verbsData.walkOffScreenOffset;
            int exit_dir = Verbs.ExtensionEx(2,verbsData.location_clicked);
            
            if      (exit_dir=='u') player_y -= offset;
            else if (exit_dir=='d') player_y += offset;
            else if (exit_dir=='l') player_x -= offset;
            else if (exit_dir=='r') player_x += offset;
         
            
            if (Verbs.MovePlayerEx(player_x, player_y, eAnywhere) >0) {
              player.EnterRoom(nr_room, nr_x, nr_y, nr_dir);
              result = 2;   
            }
          }
          // End Test
          player.EnterRoom(nr_room, nr_x, nr_y, nr_dir);
          result = 2;          
        }
        
      }
    }
    else Verbs.AnyClickMove(x, y, dir);

  }

You're right, it would make a lot of sense for the door script to respect exit extensions. I'll see what I can do - although it might take a while

Yup, that's it.

Nice - that was quite fun hunting it down.

I'm not sure if we already had this one:

StarQuest: Rescue at Rigel

Is it "Datestones of Ryn"

Hi,
putting the sprite numbers in this function is actually on purpose, so you have the chance to change the verbs graphics to their localised counterparts.

Code: ags

Verbs.LocalizeActionButton(eLangEN,eGA_Open,    59, 60, 'q');

eLangEN is the language token
eGA_Open (enum Global Action Open) is the verb action
59 is the sprite slot for the normal verb
60 is the sprite slot for the highlighted verb
q is the keyboard shortcut.

Regarding the slider, have a look at the manual here:
https://adventuregamestudio.github.io/ags-manual/Slider.html?highlight=slider&case_sensitive=0#slidervalue
Once the slide is being changed, you need to check if the slider is of certain value (such as 0 or 1).

Unfortunately I don't have a windows machine handy, so I can only provide untested pseudo code.

Code: ags

//switch GUI language
if (sldrLanguageSwitch.value == 0) {
  Game.ChangeTranslation("German");
  Verbs.VerbGuiOptions[eVerbGuiTemplateLanguage] = eLangDE;
}
else {
  Game.ChangeTranslation("");
  Verbs.VerbGuiOptions[eVerbGuiTemplateLanguage] = eLangEN;
}

Verbs.InitGuiLanguage();
Verbs.AdjustGUIText();

That's because the ID of the savegame is gone once you open the load confirmation gui.

In Line 465 (function SelectLoadSlot ) you'll find the function call "RestoreGameSlot(slot)". Just like the Save function you need to store away the ID of the slot and after that show the confirmation gui.

Code: ags

customLoadData.loadSlotId = slot;
gLoadConfirm.Visible = true;

I hope it helps to get you on the right track.

Hey - Grundislav is currently live on Steam

hey again, the exact same live stream today.

oh noes, I got bamboozled - damn you Generation Z.

Well, there's no real shortcut, but's pretty straight forward.

You need to override the instant loading here:
https://github.com/dkrey/ags_tumbleweed/blob/27a7745813c7869dc94aa2413b731489807e0eaf/optiongui.asc#L583

Instead open a yes/no gui, just like the Save-GUI does and load only after confirmation.

duh.. Bible Adventures for NES?

Hmmm... This is interesting. I've turned this setting on, and now the cursor jumps up and to the left, as though showing the item, but it is invisible... I can't seem to find out why that is.

Did you set up the "mouse cursor image" for the inv item itself?
