Something's wrong with the "toilet"
I entered the cabine and said "shit". It first said "aaah that felt good" and then it said: "you're not close enough" and repeated saying that everytime I pressed enter. Maybe you forgot to (re)set a flag...

I think that a score is a little more important then people think. I gives the player an idea of the importance of his actions... Say, if you do a lot of things and you always just get 1 point, but than you do something and you get 10 points. You will know that the thing you did is something very important and it may be helpful in your game...

I have my own rules about giving points, e.g. picking up stuff: 1 or 2 points. In the game I'm working on (still ) the player must complete three (it may be four when the game is finished) jobs. For each job you complete you get 15 points. That's a lot, so the player will know it's important.

The scoring also depends on the difficulty of the actions. I think in KQIII you get 10 points for each potion you make... Some things are not very obvious, so you must give many points for it...

So, I don't think you should really care about the max score. Just make your game, and see how much it is in the end.

well actually jelle, with apollo ships, thats what happens. the nose part separates from the lunar lander, then comes back to earth like on the tour.

I know that, I just didn't expect to see it in your AGI-movie...

I agree with Nick and Eero, but still it's really cool!

The landing's great! Didn't expect to see the engine been blown off! Cool.

I had that problem too once...  (my picture was all messed up with strange colors and stuff). I think it was some memory problem...

Do you know exactly what you have removed?

Don't take this too serious Joey, but do you ever find something out yourself?

You can download Noptec Vector from Brian's site, from Nick's site...

Here's the homepage: http://www.noptec.com

Check room 17 in Space Quest II, when the ego is trapped he goes up and down a few times, but it's just one cycle over and over...

You mean like that screensaver in Windows?

Well, I don't think you can do that in AGI... Just because you can't actually draw something on the screen, you  can place some views on it.

To do the magnifying thing you have to check every pixel (under the magnifying glass) to see what color it is (I guess)...

And also, I noticed that I can't end.of.loop a view a few times after each other, for example to play an animation three times only, using an incrementing variable in between. What would I have to do here

Well, I don't know if this is the best solution, but I know that in PQ2, they do it like this:

Code: [Select]

if (said("do","animation") && !f100) {
  set(f100);
  animate(o1);
  //blabla

  start.cycling(o1);
  v100=0;
}
v100++;

if (v100==50) {
  reset(f100);
  stop.cycling(o1);
}

You don't know how long (in seconds) it will cycle, but you can say how many times you do a certain loop... If a loop has 5 cels, and you wait until v100 = 50 then the loop will be cycled 10 times (each cel will be displayed 10 times)

If you want the loop being drawn on a random moment, do this:

Code: [Select]

if (!f100) {
  random(0,20,v101);
  if (v101==0) {
    set(f100);
    animate(o1);
    //blabla

    start.cycling(o1);
    v100=0;
  }
}

v100++;

if (v100==50) {
  reset(f100);
  stop.cycling(o1);
}
