Title: AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: debikkel on January 21, 2003, 02:52:18 PM
Hi all,

sorry for the long delay, here it finally is. If you've got

- Windows: IE5.0 or higher
- Mac or other non-windows: Mozilla 1.0 or higher

then go to http://www.goodoldadventures.com

It took me 3/4 of a year to complete it this far, hope it can cope with too many users. Have fun exploring the Space Quest 1 and Police Quest 1 world together!

Take care,

Martin

PS. If you like it, tell me! After all this time I really look forward to hearing what you all thing of it. Mail me at home: debikkel@hotmail.com . Thnx

Fantastic!

Is it possible to add SCI Backgrounds/Characters (From Kings Quest 5, 6 etc)?? I'll be happy to make some Backgrounds when the Development Kit Comes out!

Also: What did you use to make this - Java??

Keep up the Good Work,

Thanks!

As for your questions: first off, if you read the site itself, all the information is there. But in short, OF COURSE the world allows for SCI gfx (rooms/characters) to be built. Even SCUMM (Lucasarts style). The client was written purely with javascript and DHTML.

Well, hope to see you all around there!

Martin

That's great that SCI Characters/Backgrounds can be added - I Can't wait for it to happen ;D

It's great! Lag is quite big, but that's the only bad thing in it. I'll certainly download the development pack when it's available.
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online

Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Eero R on January 27, 2003, 03:08:40 PM
You can always look version from Help -> About.
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Dwarfy on January 27, 2003, 03:13:09 PM
Where? I can't find "Help".

EDIT: Found it!  V 5
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Eero R on January 27, 2003, 03:15:15 PM
This is a menu. Of course if you have Internet Explorer in English.

Post by: Eero R on January 27, 2003, 03:20:59 PM
Try to enable Java, Javascript and Visual Basic Script under Tools -> Options -> Advanced (or something like this, I do not have IE in English).
Then scripting and ActiveX under Tools -> Options -> Security.
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Dwarfy on January 27, 2003, 03:25:56 PM
How????

Where do I find Tools -> Options...
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Eero R on January 27, 2003, 03:30:07 PM
This is menu again. And look my "last edit" in my message.
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Dwarfy on January 27, 2003, 03:37:54 PM
But I can't find this menu!

I saw what version of Internet Explorer i've got,

-C:
-Programs
-Internet Explorer
-Internet Explorer Icon (right click)
-then look version

I never found a menu.
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Eero R on January 27, 2003, 03:39:47 PM
The menus only appear when you're inside the program.  ;)
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Dwarfy on January 27, 2003, 03:43:46 PM
What program, IE?

(Sorry! I am weak in things like that!)

But if I start the internet,
there's no menu.

Post by: Eero R on January 27, 2003, 03:53:04 PM
Look at a picture to see what I mean.  ;)

Still doesn't work!!  :'(
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Eero R on January 28, 2003, 11:33:46 AM
Have you any Service Packs installed? IE5 with any SP will disable Virtual Java machine, so you have to download it.
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Dwarfy on January 28, 2003, 01:09:24 PM
So, what do I have to download?

And from where?

Can you tell me that??
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Tom on January 28, 2003, 01:18:48 PM
That site is interesting....
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Eero R on January 28, 2003, 01:21:24 PM
Address is http://java.sun.com/getjava/manual.html. And be sure you read instructions. ;D
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Dwarfy on January 28, 2003, 03:51:26 PM
What file from there???
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: frAUghT on January 28, 2003, 08:03:36 PM
very cool idea... one major issue though -- the characters don't display correctly under mozilla (well, under mine anyway which is Moz 1.1 under Linux)...  you essentially get a picture of all the different positions the character can be in...

However, Keep up the good work.
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Andrew_Baker on January 28, 2003, 11:17:55 PM
Yar.  I get the same problem.
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Nick Sonneveld on January 28, 2003, 11:23:27 PM
I'm using mozilla 1.3a and I get no such problem.  However, it does need to load up the images.. give it a moment to load maybe?

Can't open the downloaded program.
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Eero R on January 29, 2003, 01:57:23 PM
You're sure you downloaded the right one? What does it say when you run it?
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Dwarfy on January 29, 2003, 02:23:49 PM
Hmm...

Something like, it's inpossible to unpack the file...
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Joel on January 29, 2003, 06:23:59 PM
Downloading the Java Virtual Machine will not help you if the chat is written with JavaScript. Internet Explorer uses its own JavaScript engine (which has nothing to do with Java). You may need to go into your security settings and enable JavaScript (I think it's called "Active Scripting" in English versions of IE), but other than that I don't know what else you could do.
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Joel on January 29, 2003, 06:26:00 PM
why do so many message boards around the Internet feel the need to separate JavaScript into two words? The name is one word.
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Patrick on January 29, 2003, 08:39:45 PM
Is there a difference on the web between Java and Javascript?

Is that a pet peeve of yours?
Title: Re:AGI multiplayer world now online
Post by: Joel on January 29, 2003, 10:16:58 PM
Practically the only similarity between Java and JavaScript is the word "Java". The two languages have almost nothing to do with each other, aside from the fact that each language's syntax is loosely based on C.

The confusion between Java and JavaScript is not a pet peeve of mine. It's just an example of stupid naming, because the name causes so much confusion. The separation of the single word Java-Script (without the freakin' hyphen) into two words, Java Script, is just strange looking to me because it's never written that way except on message boards that force the separation between the two.

Post by: Eero R on January 30, 2003, 02:14:41 PM
But somehow it helped me to get into chat (but in Windows XP and IE6).

It would be cool, if in the SQ1 airlock, for example, if you fall in the hole, you end up in a different game.
