| Joey | Great job martin! I will definetely be going here regularly. sorry i never finished anything though. :( |
| Perica Senjak |
Fantastic! Is it possible to add SCI Backgrounds/Characters (From Kings Quest 5, 6 etc)?? I'll be happy to make some Backgrounds when the Development Kit Comes out! Also: What did you use to make this - Java?? Keep up the Good Work, Cya 8) |
| Martin Kool |
Thanks! As for your questions: first off, if you read the site itself, all the information is there. But in short, OF COURSE the world allows for SCI gfx (rooms/characters) to be built. Even SCUMM (Lucasarts style). The client was written purely with javascript and DHTML. Well, hope to see you all around there! Martin |

Well, i didn't read the Instructions, i hardly read anything on the site - I just wen't straight into the Chat; But that's me: Never reading the Instructions ;D That's great that SCI Characters/Backgrounds can be added - I Can't wait for it to happen ;D Great Site! |
| Kon-Tiki |
Joepie! That's a great chat, although the lag's a bit too much here :-\ Anyway: GOOD JOB! :) -Kon-Tiki- |
| Eero R | It's great! Lag is quite big, but that's the only bad thing in it. I'll certainly download the development pack when it's available. |
| Joey | no lag here. i got cable. it runs just like an agi game. |
| Sidrious play |
I can't play it! :'( If I want to play the game a errormessage replies that I have to restart my PC and try it later. But it won't work! Please help!!! |
| Eero R | What Windows and what browser you're using? |
| Sidrious play |
Windows 98 Browser? |
| Eero R | I mean IE, Netscape, Opera or whatever you are using. And version of course. |
| Sidrious play |
Oh! Ah! Sorry! Internet Explorer 4 or 5 (I'm not really sure) |
| Eero R | You can always look version from Help -> About. |
| Sidrious play |
Where? I can't find "Help". EDIT: Found it! V 5 |
| Eero R | This is a menu. Of course if you have Internet Explorer in English. |
| Sidrious play |
Windows 98 Internet Explorer 5 |
| Eero R |
Try to enable Java, Javascript and Visual Basic Script under Tools -> Options -> Advanced (or something like this, I do not have IE in English). Then scripting and ActiveX under Tools -> Options -> Security. |
| Sidrious play |
How???? Where do I find Tools -> Options... |
| Eero R | This is menu again. And look my "last edit" in my message. |
| Sidrious play |
But I can't find this menu! I saw what version of Internet Explorer i've got, in: -C: -Programs -Internet Explorer -Internet Explorer Icon (right click) -then look version I never found a menu. |
| Eero R | The menus only appear when you're inside the program. ;) |
| Sidrious play |
What program, IE? (Sorry! I am weak in things like that!) But if I start the internet, there's no menu. |
| Eero R | Look at a picture to see what I mean. ;) [attachment deleted by admin] |
| Sidrious play |
Ah!!!!!! I am really sorry!! You know, I got german Internet Explorer! |
| Sidrious play | |
| Eero R | Nope. Enable is same as activate. |
| Sidrious play |
So! Now I did all. Now i try again. |
| Sidrious play | Still doesn't work!! :'( |
| Eero R | Have you any Service Packs installed? IE5 with any SP will disable Virtual Java machine, so you have to download it. |
| Sidrious play |
So, what do I have to download? And from where? Can you tell me that?? |
| jrfritz | That site is interesting.... |
| Eero R | Address is http://java.sun.com/getjava/manual.html. And be sure you read instructions. ;D |
| Sidrious play | What file from there??? |
| frAUghT |
very cool idea... one major issue though -- the characters don't display correctly under mozilla (well, under mine anyway which is Moz 1.1 under Linux)... you essentially get a picture of all the different positions the character can be in... However, Keep up the good work. |
| Andrew_Baker | Yar. I get the same problem. |
| sonneveld |
I'm using mozilla 1.3a and I get no such problem. However, it does need to load up the images.. give it a moment to load maybe? - Nick |
| Eero R |
That one: Windows (all languages, including English) |
| Sidrious play | Can't open the downloaded program. |
| Eero R | You're sure you downloaded the right one? What does it say when you run it? |
| Sidrious play |
Hmm... Something like, it's inpossible to unpack the file... |
| Joel | Downloading the Java Virtual Machine will not help you if the chat is written with JavaScript. Internet Explorer uses its own JavaScript engine (which has nothing to do with Java). You may need to go into your security settings and enable JavaScript (I think it's called "Active Scripting" in English versions of IE), but other than that I don't know what else you could do. |
| Joel | why do so many message boards around the Internet feel the need to separate JavaScript into two words? The name is one word. |
| smartguy240 |
Is there a difference on the web between Java and Javascript? Is that a pet peeve of yours? |
| Joel |
Practically the only similarity between Java and JavaScript is the word "Java". The two languages have almost nothing to do with each other, aside from the fact that each language's syntax is loosely based on C. The confusion between Java and JavaScript is not a pet peeve of mine. It's just an example of stupid naming, because the name causes so much confusion. The separation of the single word Java-Script (without the freakin' hyphen) into two words, Java Script, is just strange looking to me because it's never written that way except on message boards that force the separation between the two. |
| Eero R | But somehow it helped me to get into chat (but in Windows XP and IE6). |
| Perica Senjak | The "Good Old Adventures" Web-Site has been Updated, it has some nifty new features, and a few extra rooms ;D -- Check it out!! |
| CESS.tk | YaY! I made those rooms! |
| rwfromxenon |
It would be cool, if in the SQ1 airlock, for example, if you fall in the hole, you end up in a different game. Butthead: |
| Joey | how come no one ever goes in there anymore? once in a while i see 2 people in there. thats it. it is usually empty. |
| failrate |
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/06/239206&mode=thread&tid=127 Check it out, it got slashdotted!! |
| smartguy240 | still hant implemented my new characters though...they should come in the next 2 days though ;) |
| Sidrious play |
GOOD NEWS!!! (for me ;D ) It works! I've got ADSL-Internet...now it works... P.S.: Eero, thank you anyway for your help! (My English's still bad :- |
