Two Questions

Dolphin Shaper Member # 5437	written Saturday, March 12 2005 15:03 Profile #0 Fist off sorry, I know I ask a lot of questions. 1. How do I make it so when you search a bookshelf a message will pop up? 2. How do use custom graphics? I found some, but how do I get them into the editor?

Look at examples of the scenarios that come with the game for help with this. If you still have questions, come back and we will do our best to help you. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

That is, place a terrain script and title it "specobj" and set the first memory cell to the state that you want it to call when it's searched. 2. Depends on if you're on a Mac or on Windows. Either way, I refer you to the docs, Chapter 4: Custom Graphics. EDIT: Yeah, what Stareye said.

Dolphin Shaper Member # 5437	written Saturday, March 12 2005 15:36 Profile #3 Thank you Kelandon, specobj was what I was lookiing for. As for the custom graphics, I'm on Mac. A very new one at that. I don't have graphics software at the moment. The closest things I have to it would be "Appleworks", and the program they open in "Preview". Not really worth mentioning. The old computer is running system 9.1 that computer has photoshop on it, but most things on that computer wont even run in classic on mine. Edit: turns out the new photoshop will be coming sooner or later, kind of sounds like I'll have to wait.

GraphicConverter is also good for doing minor edits on graphics if necessary.

*i The Establishment Member # 6	written Sunday, March 13 2005 08:26 Profile #5 I use Graphics Coverter and ResEdit to do these. Do searches on both with google. They should be free. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00
