It's great to see how much support has been popping up for this project. I have renamed this thread as the original problem was solved and now it can be used for people interested in what I am doing or how I am doing it. Recently I have been focusing primarily on the GUI's for the game and I just fi...

Thanks for the support QFG Fan! It is my hope that I can keep this moving and eventually finish it.  I am only one person so I can't say how long this will take but I am planning on releasing a 2nd floor demo in the near future to get some opinions on it. Also if for some reason I can't finish the g...

Thanks Erpy, I tried what you said and it did solve the problem.
I don't know why they are getting disabled I even have it set in the function to enable them after making them visible but that didn't seem to solve the problem.

For fun and practice with AGS I have been working on a 1:1 remake of Colonel's Bequest using the original graphics. Everything has been going pretty weell so far and I have not really had any major issues doing anything. Recently however I set my sights on making the in-game clock that pops up. Scri...

While it may seem like a great idea to jump up to a shiny new product the minute it's released, I can tell you from experience it can be a real pain in the butt. Recently I decided to upgrade my friends guild website from PHPBB2 to PHPBB3 and it turned in to a rather large nightmare! The website onl...

I think my stance on this has been misinterpreted, I have no intention of downloading from abandonware sites and actually favor the developers choice. It was my impression that freeware referred to software that was free from the get go and abandonware was something that while not always free eventu...

A good example of a game that was truly abandoned by the developer and made freeware would be "Betrayal at Krondor" if I recall correctly sierra made that game free. It is my belief that the developer should choose wether or not a game should be distributed for free. We may not always agre...

The answer to your question is yes, however you need to keep in mind what true abandonware is. Abandonware are games that are not just old but games that have been abandoned by the original developer. While Sierra may not actively pursue abandonware sites for posting their old adventure games they d...

I have another question involving views. Is it possible to move the object sprite during the process of animation? For example in Colonel's Bequest there are the Armoires that pull out but using the original graphics they do not fit properly (To low after the first couple frames). Thanks for any hel...

Cool, I figured it wouldn't make much of a difference but I figured it was best to make sure now than to make the entire thing and find out I made it improperly. Thanks for the responses!

Hello, I am working on a point and click remake for a game for fun and experience and I have been wondering about performance. To give an example let us assume there is a fireplace in the room and we want to have two difference messages displayed depending on where you click on the fireplace. I coul...

I have Vista Home Premium and so far its been adequate for standard stuff like web surfing and playing WoW. There are some definate problems with compatibility though. As an example I do some messing around with AGS and when I run a test through Vista it freaks out unless I have the test pop up in a...

Sierra games have been among my favorite games ever since I was younger. Of the games I played the Quest for glory series was my personal favorite. After that I would have to say Colonel's Bequest rated quite high on my list as well because it was really interesting and the game focused on exploring...

I may be a bit confused here but what would be the point of remaking a game and removing all the puzzles or even "some" of the puzzles. You may not recall but the name of Larry 3 is Passionate Patty in pursuit of the Pulsating Pectorals, removing the weightlifting part of the game would no...

I am not entirely sure what you mean by I admit the ideas but I have mixed feelings about wether or not it would be good. Let me explain my reason by bringing up some info on the original games. Leisure Suit Larry was originally intended on being a trilogy but then Sierra wanted Al Lowe to continue ...

Sory to post again while I am still the last poster but I tracked down the original post over at Big Blue Cup about Larry 3 being remade point and click. Once again this was an original graphics remake. http://americangirlscouts.org/bbc.com/yabb/index.php?topic=8861.0 Also here is the persons websit...

The question bout what I meant by original graphics was already answered by another poster so I will just respond to your other questions. Yes, I do "experiement" in AGS a bit, I have never been on any actual teams or been involved in a real development but I have played around with recrea...

I dont keep as up to date as some of the people here but I do recall someone making a Leisure Larry 2 Point and Click version using the same graphics as the original. Someone had been talking about remaking the third one in the same way but I believe that one fell through. As for a total remake with...

Well first of all I don't think your allowed to recruit on this board. Second of all "Millions of Users"? Do you realize that professional games like Matrix online flop and barely make 60,000 users? Not to mention a year or even 2 is a very quick process for a GOOD MMORPG when you look at ...

This is not really a comment but something I have been meaning to mention to you. In your pictures you are just redoing the end result of what is shown on the players screen. Which is ok but in certain cases some objects need to be treated as objects or special views. Examples : First Room : 1. Laur...

I could be mistaken but I believe both Kings Quest games have downloadable speech and music packs already. Oh well, guess we will just have to wait and see

Well I don't feel we have enough information to really speculate what is going to be the surprise although I think its safe to assume its unlikely to be a KQ3 remake. Since Infamous Adventures is actively working on that project (not to mention almost done) it would be a waste of time and their tale...

Wow, I am amazed this is possible. I remember doing the same as other people and running along the mountain range until finally giving up. Only things I ever found in the desert was Julanaar, and that weird caged monster that you can dispel to find a little bit about your enemy. Just reminds me of h...

I think it would be fun if you added a bit more school into this game than was in the previous. For example in the original there was some early focus on wether you wanted to be a good boy or a bad boy. (Hiding your report card, deleting message about detention, helping mom with dinner, feeding dog,...

I don't know too much about the bugs other than the fact that you could usually find a way around them. I usually did this by trying another characters solution. In Quest for Glory if you played from 1 to 4 you could pretty much make a super character if you were willing to work towards it. This was...
