Hi there !

My question could be very stupid, but I have no idea of how ags handles that...

Imagine I have a DynamicSprite "f" that is a square ("rectangle" ?) with these attributes : f.Width=30, f.Height=34.

If I do : f.Rotate(90)

It makes : f.Width=34 and f.Height=30.

Right

BUT, if I do : f.Rotate(45)

What will be the width and height of f ?

Hi there !

I wonder how many data can be stored in an AGS game.

In my game, I stock the data for maps that are displayed in-game (it simulates a tabletop game). All the maps have many data, including tokens' x/y/orientation, tiles' positions, etc... often randomized between several possibilities. Currently the game owns about 200 different maps, and I plan to add more and more. The maps are managed within a structure.

As it represents a HUGE amount of data, and because you can imagine easily that the game also manages characters (about 150), GUIS (about 100), other scripts etc... Here's my question :

Is there a limit when the engine is lagging because of too many data stored, or simply can't memorize more data because of limitation ?

Sorry if my question is a bit "noob-style", but I don't know anything about these things...

Here is my structure for the maps, to let you see how "huge" it is :

Hi there !

I tried to use the resize function on DynamicSprite, but I felt it was not really well working. The image is maybe too complex, and so it's more "pixelized", and not so precise as expected.

Any way to have this function working better in AGS ? Or is there a reason of that ? Or a module that could help ?

Hi there,

Little question : if I create a dynamicsprite and assign it as a graphic of a button for example. If then I write :

Code: ags

int g=mybutton.Graphic;

Which value should be g ?

Because I have in my games a lot of buttons that use the same "template" for their graphics, but as these buttons have very differents heights/widths, I prefer to create dynamicsprite for each of these buttons when the game starts instead of import a lot of images that will make the game heavier.

That's my code :

Code: ags

DynamicSprite* fondshachures[50];

function gamestart()
{
  int h[50], l[50];
  int c;
  for (int i=0 ; i<Game.GUICount ; i++)
  {
    for (int j=0 ; j<gui[i].ControlCount ; j++)
    {
      if (gui[i].Controls[j].AsButton!=null && gui[i].Controls[j].AsButton.Graphic==0)
      {
        bool v=false;
        // Check if the dynamic sprite exists with the same width/height
        for (int k=0 ; k<c ; k++)
        {
          if (gui[i].Controls[j].AsButton.Width==l[k] && gui[i].Controls[j].AsButton.Height==h[k])
          {
            v=true;
            gui[i].Controls[j].AsButton.NormalGraphic=fondshachures[k];
            k=c;
          }
        }
        
        if (v==false) // The dynamic sprite doesn't exist yet
        {
          gui[i].Controls[j].AsButton.CreerFond(c);
          h[c]=gui[i].Controls[j].AsButton.Height;
          l[c]=gui[i].Controls[j].AsButton.Width;
          c++;
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

I know that button.Graphic==0 means no sprite is assigned to that button (so it's the grey button by default). So my goal is to scan all the buttons that are grey when the game starts, and create/assign to them a dynamicsprite.

Hi !

So I come back about problems with the translation file.

My game has been translated in english, but as it  has evolved a lot, I need to update the translation. Many new texts, and many of old texts have been changed (sometimes only 1 letter, but, it changed).

When I update the transcription file in the editor, if a text is different than before, it adds a new line at the end of the transcription file, and the old line is kept.

Because so many lines changed, and it would be too long to tweak it manually, I tried to create a little program with AGS to "update" the transcription file, so that it doesn't stock anymore old texts that re not used anymore.

To do that, I copy the texts of the old transcription file, paste them in a new txt file called "original".

Then I create a new transcription file, copy all the lines (so there are all the texts really used in the game actualized) and paste them in a new txt file called "nouveau".

Then I create a new txt file called "frais" where I write all the lines really used in the game (so those which are in both "nouveau" and "original", with their translation if it has been done in the past).

These txt files are placed in the savegame directory, so the program can access to them easily.

This allow me to have a fresh transcription file, with all the translation of the texts that didn't change from the earlier version, and the new texts that need now a translation. Instead of having a transcription file of thousands of lines, because texts not used are still there since several past versions...

The problem is that I'm french, and it seems to really work nice (the program, I mean), but the functions WriteRawLine support very badly the letters like À É é â etc... Also, the txt file "frais" is written by the program (made with AGS), and is saved as ANSI. It should be UTF-8  I think, because "nouveau" and "original" are both in UTF-8 (and "frais" was also in "UTF-8 before the program writes in it).

Also, it seems that there is a limit, if the text is too long, the WriteRawLine is stopped. The text is cut at the middle (somewhere I presume).

I don't know how to do with that ? It will make me gain a lot of time to get it working.

Here I compiled my program with the 3 txt files needed ("frais" is blank, the others have the needed texts).

Hope someone could help me !

Hi !

I would like to know if there is any way to tweak the space between the lines of a text, for example in a label, or space bewteen the items of a listbox.

My problem is that I use some fonts that sometimes the letters are walking "one on another"...

I don't know if such parameter can be set in AGS ?

Hi again !

I come with this problem that I tried to forget because it was not so important, but at least, I'm looking for a solution, and now it's a good time to find one !

I use a sprite of a clock to show the time in my game, but, I can't understand why, whereas I import my sprite with an alpha channel, in PNG, there is always an ugly "purple" thing around the clock.

Here is the result "in game" :

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dxyvfgaK_6CG_yLeAWVGRMFprnaKiRk3/view?usp=sharing

Here are two versions of my sprite, I tried with a black "contour", and it doesn't work too.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/18Eu23YQomVnGP3q4ypZWT6qxwUjgAY-x/view?usp=sharing

Any idea ? The purple is like the "magic pink" used for transparent things in AGS, but I don't why it appears like that. I tried the same sprites on a magic pink background, it didn't work...

Does a Gui's transparency hit the FPS ? I mean, in my game, when a menu is appearing, I place a white 45% transparency GUI under it to have a cleaner view of the menu. When this GUI is here, I have the feeling that the game is laging. The mouse is not moving smoothly. Is it normal ?

Hi all !

I think my problem is weird, but I have to ask the question in case of

I use a struct to manage many parameters for the creation of a map for my game (it's a map with many tokens placed into this map, and the struct allows to store the coordinates of all the tokens, so when the map has to be displayed, the script is really simple to place the tokens).

The problem is : I want to store some parameters like that :

- in a map I have 10 buildings

- each building, when it's open (the player click on the door), reveals the tokens that are inside

So in my struct, I can have the buildings like :

struct Map
{
  int nbzonesbuilding[10]; // the number of tokens owned by each building
};

But I want to store the X,Y coordinates of each token of each buildings, so the perfect thing should be : a struct "building" inside the struct "Map"... like I have building[10] and building[0].x[30] to store 30 X-coordinates of the building 0, building[0].y[30] to store the 30 Y-coordinates of the building 0, building[1].x[30] to store the 30 X-coordinates of the building 1... Instead of xbuilding0[30], ybuilding0[30], xbuilding1[30] and so on in the only struct "Map".

Before I used another struct for buildings, because I was creating the maps one at a time when needed (if a map has to be displayed, it's created directly) but now I need to store the parameters of all the maps at the game_start function, so it means : before, my "Map" struct was only for 1 map at a time. Now the "Map" struct is an array of maps stored in memory when the game is launched.

I hope I am clear enough, because english is not my spoken language

Many thanks for those who could help me on that !

Hi !

I have a very simple question, I looked for a long time for an answer, but never found any...

I want to use the mouse wheel in a game to allow to scroll a slider up and down (it allows to scroll a label into a GUI to read the whole text that can't be displayed fully in the GUI).

Which functions can I use for that ?

Many thanks !

EDIT : oh sorry, I finally found out the solution... in the tutorial... It's like when I ask for help, help comes by it's own...

Hi !

I come with a new brain problem.

I have "stocked" some coordinates of objects (tokens for my game) into 3 arrays of int :

TypeZoneExp : indicates the type of the zone (it's an int, but I'm using an enum to not be lost with numbers...)
XZoneExp : the x-coordinate of the zone "i"
YZoneExp : the y-coordinate of the zone "i"

where i can be a number like 30 or 40 max, it depends of the map (the size of the arrays is changing according to the needs).

I want to sort the zones' coordinates from the top left to the down-right. So the first line of zones (YZoneExp = 0, for example), then the seconde line etc...

Is there any built-in function to do that ? Or useful functions ?

If not, I imagine using loops and loops, but maybe it can be done easier

EDIT : I just precise the situation :

In a chosen map, I want some tokens to be placed. I stock their coordinates so I can manipulate them later.
For example, five tokens :
t1(0, 100)
t2(0,250)
t3(100,150)
t4(50, 0)
t5(25, 100)

Each coordinate is stocked in an array, so : XZoneExp[0]=0, XZoneExp[1]=0, XZoneExp[2]=100, XZoneExp[3]=50, XZoneExp[4]=25 and YZoneExp[0]=100, YZoneExp[1]=250, YZoneExp[2]=250, YZoneExp[3]=0 and YZoneExp[4]=100;

What I want is to sort the tokens' coordinates from the top-left to the down-right. It would be : t4, t1, t5, t3, t2

And so their values "match" in the two arrays : XZoneExp[0]=50, YZoneExp[0]=0 ; XZoneExp[1]=0, YZoneExp[1]=100 etc...

Hi !

I found other threads about it, but I need to have a confirmation from that year since AGS has been updated. Sorry if I didn't find the answer in an earlier thread, I tried to search, but maybe I didn't see it..?

Well, my question is simple : is there a limit of characters inside a label ? It seems one of my labels is cut just before the end of the text.

Hi !

I encounter a problem : when in windowed mode, if I click outside the game (so outside the window of the game), it results in an event I scripted in on_key_press : "if (keycode==eKeyS)".

Normally, if I put the S key, it shows a message at the screen (it is like a cheat code for play-testing). And when I click outside of the screen of the game, this message appears.

An idea ?

Hi !

In my game, I have 110 characters that have sprites to show their state, like disease, wounds etc. A character is displayed with :

- his face

- a number of transparent sprites that cover his face on differents points

For now, my characters are using views with about 20 sprites per character, each sprite being a possibility, like a combination : 1 wound, 1 wound + 1 disease, 1 wound + 2 diseases, 2 wounds, 2 wounds + 1 disease, 2 wounds + 2 diseases, 3 wounds, etc...

This means that I have plenty of sprites to show their state (about 2500 in total).

But now I have progressed in coding, I am asking myself : is there an easier way to do that ?

My character don't "move" as my game is not an adventure game but an application for a board game (called zombicide, if any knows it ). The characters are placed in some places according to the situation, and are moved through different rooms or positions, but they don't move like a character in adventure games (walking, running etc...).

I use a struct of characters for a lot of their proprieties. So character is a good thing for my coding.

My question is so : is there a way to have a sprite like a pile of overlays on their face's sprite, instead of 2500 sprites for each combinations of their state situation ?

Hi all !

I'm sorry, I think this question has been asked a million times before me, but I get confused with all the threads I managed to find about, and they were old dated most of the time...

So I don't know if it is possible to make an AGS game working on a tablet (Android, or even MacOS "iPad" ?) ? And is there a guide to do that ?

I creates my game with AGS 3.5, so I don't know if something is working with that version.
