Anyway, what's this mystery scenario called?

I'm Micael (no surprise there)

I'm 14 years old, 15 on the 21st.

I live in Gunnislake, Cornwall (that's that jutting out place in England).

I go to Callington College, and am beginning on my careers:

Writing,
Computer Programming,
Acting.

Hopefully I'll be someone some day, but right now having a mentally disabled brother has made the holidays awful.

But thankfully school starts again on Tuesday! :)

Also, do you really want huge blank pauses of nobody saying anything. You can set char_x to "" in the same block as setting char_y to "The World is mine! HAHAHAH!"

You need to put a force_instant_terrain_redraw call in every block.

Like I did with mine.

For the text bubbles, you need to make them blank before the next talk bubble.

Eg:

i = random_party_member();
text_bubble_on_char(72,"");
text_bubble_on_char(i,"Okay, moved. Can you see better?");
force_instant_terrain_redraw();
pause(15);

text_bubble_on_char(i,"");
text_bubble_on_char(72,"Yes, thank you.");
force_instant_terrain_redraw();
pause(15);
After person A (char_72) speaks, there's a blank bubble of him before your PC (character_i) speaks. I don't know if this will help or not, but...

It accepted it while I was still working on KoV. So it should accept it now.

And if it wasn't the graphic, maybe it was just mum's XP computer... :)

no i just type to fast, is there anymore typos in my post? i ran a spellcheck on it :eek:

It's not just spelling mistakes, it's GRAMMAR mistakes. I don't know if English is your native language or not...

But if it is, you need to do a lot about your grammar and such.

Also, Spellchecks miss things. It didn't pick up "mite", because the word exists, even though it should be "might", to make sense with the rest of the sentence. Same with your use of "to". The correct word there is "too".

Last note: Capital letters exist for a reason, you know.

Also, if English isn't your native language, ignore the above points.

For once I have to agree with Imban here.

I started a character there ages ago, and I found it SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring.

AdventureQuest is much more fun if you're looking for silly games to play while away from your own computer.

I changed the name of the file to G2514, and got rid of all that excess white. (I think the white was the main problem, but if the others work with white, maybe it was the file number.)

I can't believe I managed to fix something no-one else could! (though they could have with the picture, I have to admit)

:D

If this is how it should be, here's the code you will need:

begindefineterrain 474;
clear;
te_name = "Waterfall";
te_which_sheet = 2514;
te_which_icon = 0;
te_second_icon = 4;
te_second_icon_offset_y = -55;
te_ed_which_sheet = 504;
te_ed_which_icon = 40;
te_move_block_n = 1;
te_move_block_w = 1;
te_move_block_s = 1;
te_move_block_e = 1;

It depends. What format was it when you were trying to upload it?

Have you tried this file without all of that excess white?

I'll just start up a blank scen and see if i can get it to work. I'll tel you how it went in a minute.

Okay.

So here's Thralni's problematic graphic:

Hang on. Is all this white really there, or is this because of the method you used to convert the picture to a PNG?

Also, Alwan is fairly helpful this early in the game, especially as when he "dies" you can just go pick him up again.

He's in one of the rooms back at your school. He'll join you for the first island, even if you've told Litalia that you want to join her (a rebel).

So, War Blessing helps, A thahd might be helpful, but if you get Alwan you can let him take the pain instead.

Okay. Have a try...
