Yep all good. You're unlikely to need me

Btw, I saw mention of a play along thread. Where is that (just for curiosity's sake)?

You can post you play along entry on the contest thread (say it's play along) or here.

The playalongs go to the same thread they just have their own box where they will get smiley faces instead of regular scores.

Broomhilda just was unsure of posting so we gave her more options.

Oh ok. Is there a limit to the number of playalongs? I won't have time to contribute at the beginning, but perhaps later on. Interested to see everyone else's though.

You can do it broomhilda, I am cheering you on. Keep it simple, to something that you can do.

One thing at a time, Broomhilda. Those four hours were invested in figuring out what you didn't want to do, so now your way is clear!

I had no particular inspiration, so yesterday I opened an AGS game with no CC in it and went through the catalog pulling out items that would be necessary or appropriate to an Asian restaurant, without worrying about expense or space or anything like that, just pulling in objects and trying to get some sort of semi-consistent color scheme going. Then I looked at the random mess and shut the game down in disgust.

And today I built the thing. Because I'd set my backbrain working on it. Trust your backbrain and don't tie yourself in knots trying to make your conscious mind do all the work.

Ugly is in the heart of the beholder.

Thank you Jo and Peni :lovestruc

When I build I have to go in 4 to 6 squares on the sides and the back..because the roof won't go on otherwise..I went 4 squares yesterday today I am going to go in 6 squares to make sure I can get the roof on..and then the stairs going to the second floor was out in the middle of the room it drove me nuts lol..so have to refigure that as well..lol

Ok off to redo and rethink this again

What do you mean it won't go on? You might like to ask in the building area for roofing help @broomhilda

NO you didn't mess up it is supposed to be a community lot

There is an icon in build mode, I think it is, up in the upper left corner, that shows prices when you click on it. If I am wrong somebody correct me please!

Got it done..and clicked on that icon at the top left corner..I can't take a picture..with the "c" or the "in game camera" while in that mode..??????

Can't use Fraps anymore..I guess it's only free for so many pictures..not sure what over picture program I can use..

I got it to just under $80,000 lol..$77,something..

fraps doesn't have a limit?


However, if you run in windowed mode you can use printscreen if you can't get fraps to run for some reason (maybe it needs updated).

instructions for windowed mode

#49 Old 8th Feb 2018 at 4:02 AM
I downloaded Frabs 3 different times..not working for me..??? I will try and figure out Fraps again..it's 10pm here..going to go watch Lord of the Rings on Netflix and then go to bed..lol..

I don't know how to use Windowed mode or the printscreen..someone a few years ago tried to help me get windowed mode and we couldn't do it..they could see it but I couldn't..on my end..

Thank you for your help gdayars..

I wish I could see what you are doing Broomhilda so I could help you. Fraps uses a key that you can set. When it's running you will see the frame rate numbers at top of your screen and it flashes black (the numbers) when you take a picture. I should not stop working. occasionally it does a bit of a drama queen stomp and stops taking pictures, but I find turning it off with task manager and back on normally fixes that. I use FastStone to quickly change the bmp shots that Fraps takes into jpegs.
