Olleh! I have been really annoyed over the last few days. I have started a new sci-fi game, where you are a bounty hunter. Okay, here is my problem. I have redone view.000 so that it will be a spacecraft from the top down, similar to the driving scenes in the old PQ games. But, it still shows the original view that comes with the Template game, and I don't even have it in the views list. Can someone tell me whats happening? And why my view isn't showing up? |
| AGI1122 | Well check the directory of the game and make sure that view.000 doesn't exist in the directory other wise the SCI interpreter will use that. Also be sure to delete all extra copies of view.000 from the resource file. |

| Eigen | Did you make the view with SCI Graphic studio or SCI Studio view editor. Are you sure you have added the view to the game? |
| The Ultimo |
Well, i have checked and there was a view.000. I deleted the file and it is now working with the view I created. :) Thanks for your help guys. And by the way, I haven't heard of SCI Graphic studio. Is it better to use than the editor that comes with SCI Studio? |
| AGI1122 | Actually it is better to use the built in tools than it is to use graphic studio. |
| Eigen | built in view editor sometimes screws up the view totally and I have to do it again. I don't have this problem with SCI graphic studio. |
| AGI1122 | Well it will be fixed in the next release of SCI Studio. |

I have that same problem that Eigen said. The views get screwed up. So, should I start using the Graphic Studio until the next release of SCI Studio comes out? - Ultimo |

One more thing while i'm in the Ego thing. Does anyone know how to have it so that you go to another room when you touch an Act class view. I have tried a few things, but nothing worked. And if I can't get that to work, does anyone know how to go to another room if you type in a command, such as for my sci-fi game 'land on planet'? Thanks again. And sorry if i'm being a pain in the ass newbie. I just really want to make a good game. - Ultimo |

Yes you can. in the preview room (in the spaceship) (if(Said('landing')) (send gEgo: posn(5 160) ) loop(2) (send gRoom:newRoom(x)) ) It should work. May I suggest to download DG: I want my c64 back The scripts are encluded with the game. Robin Gravel |

Thanks Robin. That piece of code that you gave worked. I can now have it so that your man will now be able to leave his ship and traverse unknown worlds, and board dangerous ships. :) - Ultimo |
| RJD | Hey The Ultimo! I'm curious, since you appear to be a Star Wars fan, does your bounty hunter game have anything to do with SW?? |

It might have a few references to it. So if you're thinking that the character is going to be Boba Fett, then no. :'( And I will be having a whole heap of sci-fi movie references in it. A few are as follows: Day the Earth Stood Still Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy Star Wars Star Trek Dr Who Quark Forbidden Planet Space Quest... Yay! :) Battlestar Galactica Last Starfighter Flash Gordon These a just few of the references I am going to make. I am even going to have the wrestler Undertaker appear in it, since he played a Bounty Hunter in a Hulk Hogan movie. "You're a Dead Man Ramsey!" - Ultimo |
