Might I suggest making it look a bit less like Space Quest 5, with the font and status bar being as they are in the template? It can be as simple as replacing some font resources and swapping most of statusLineCode::doit for a DrawStatus call.

You know, it's not unlike the SCI0 template having Larry 3's color menu item, but somewhat more in your face.

Oh i like that!

And just for that I'll give you a shout-out on the next one.

Production values have improved. Bought a power converter for my microphone. Installed a remote control for my streaming software. It looks a little more professional now.

This is where I stopped my "first day"  (IE: Work Day = abt. 8 hours).

Then I had an idea to launch a new series called "TL;DW" (too long, didn't watch) to compress all of the 8 hours into a little less than 8 minutes. This is based on the EOD (ie. End of Day) reports that I would submit to my boss.

Because eight hours is a lot. I don't expect anyone to watch all of that.

TL;DW (EOD 1)

Always nice to see your work in others' videos. Even if it's then transformed into something a little more original :3

(added irony: that player character was itself edited!)

Not entirely. Johnny Nongamer is me. So I'm broadcasting my own work.

I'll be honest, this stuff gets pretty isolating after a while, and kind of kills my momentum. This is my way of keeping myself motivated and keep going.

Even if one or two other people watch it.

(There is no way this is going to get to the level of viewership of YouTubers such as  PewdiePie or Logan Paul. Not in my lifetime.)

. . . and it was that easy:

   (method (doit)
           (super doit:)
           (Palette palSET_FROM_RESOURCE 001 2)
   )

Resolved.

Okay . . . is there a way to set it so that Title Screen can use "Palette 1" and room 1 can use "Palette 2"?

Or am I married to one and only palette through the entire game?

Oh . . . wait, I see it.

This is my title screen. I had imported an image which generated a different palette. The generated palette colours for 64 and 65 seem to be crossing over from the title screen.

Yeah. . . that's the problem.

Hmm  . . solution?

Do I go in to the Ego View and match the palettes? Would that do it?

Palette question:

So I just defined 16 colors to go along with the 64 pinned colors. So how come it looks different in the actual game (save --> compile all --> rebuild resources) than it does in the picture editor? (desired effect: I want the door to be blue)

I found a work-around. I just can't explain why it works.

I added in a new picture, and now it works just fine.

Okay . . . I'm an idiot. The Fill button is not working for me.

So, I should be logically seeing something filled in with a very dark due of grey.

And no matter where I click, nothing is being filled.

What am I doing wrong?
