Re: Acrylic Backgrounds - Canvas? Cardboard? Heavy Paper?

Hi, Yes, a tablet is much easier. You never have to wait for paint to dry or anything. I use Gimp and gimp paint studio (brushes and the likes). No need for scanning you can paint any color over any color have any brush you like, only limited by your imagination. Still for something on the wall you ...

Hi, I am not sure about sq6 but a lot of games run in either dosbox or using wine. I believe you have to map a linux directory as a windows drive in the configuration and then do something wine <program>. I was suprised I could run some of my own programs written for win32 with wine with almost no p...

Hi, You might want to use VC2005/OpenAL to generate sound. It allows you to create PCM samples (for instance by filling buffers with a sinewave). This way you don't have to worry about sound cards, interrupts etc. and it will play on more cards then just SB. For the moment VC2005 can be downloaded f...

Another option is (if you have got your old dos floppys around) microsoft virtual PC which can be downloaded for free from the microsoft site.

Hi,

Great pictures. I wondered why the picture of the fishersmans house on deviantart of rachykins looks so much better than the less detailed and a bit blurred picture on the KQ4 page?

Still, looks very promising.

I guess getting permission to use those backgrounds wouldn't be much of a problem (read the start of this thread carefullly for that). Besides who is the copyright holder of these images VU?; if not most pictures where edited by multiple people. I don't think the backgrounds are a tiny part of the g...

Hi,

I think the smoother (second one) is better. However I would change the 'd' and 'b' so the half circle is as high as the other characters like 'n', 'a' etc. (look at how the d and b are done in the upper screen).

Hi,

A year or so ago I could purchase a new version (which runs under XP) of the dig . So apparently they are still selling those. http://www.bol.com

I checked it and they still seem to sell it at least on the dutch site (the game is english though).

Siberia and longest journey do not have much humor.  The broken sword has some more (though it is not like monkey island or day of the tentacle). The bs series does make you smile on occasion. They have a lot of funny remarks. From the same makers and a free download is BAS beneath a steel sky, cert...

Hi, It's been a while back since I played that part but I believe you had to hide by hanging on an edge ('omega cavern') than pull up, then have to flee because they see you, and run down the hallway which is diagonally while the cursor keys go left and right. Maybe it is also because I just don't l...

BS1 and BS2 are very good. BS3 is reasonable I liked the way they implemented the 3D well, apart from the action sequences (I HATE those). Especially since one them you can't even complete without attaching a joystick. (The one where you have to walk through a corridor that is diagonal. Instead of l...

Well, for me it are also the graphics that count. Though I would like to play a 'real' D&D some time, I really like the computer implementations. The BG series does have quite some freedom though you eventually have to follow the main story line. IWD is more linear you really have to follow a pr...

The baldur's gate series and PT are great RPG's replayed BG 2.5 times (at one replay my disk crashed during the first half of BGII :-(  ). For adventures, Grim Fadango is very special I liked the music, graphics ad original story (though the controls where a bit clumsy) . Full throttle is great too....
