20 Apr 2011, 07:44I need to know a couple of things about adding pictues. First of all i was curious how it would work considering the words continue to scroll up the page. Are you able to disipate messages after they are givin? I would basically like to make my graphics a picture of the room and items or containers in it. I also need to know what kind of program or files i need to make the right pictures to add to my game. Am i able to just use something like paint or do i need a certain program. I'm not sure how to add it to the game or impliment it for a room.

20 Apr 2011, 08:00The picture will be shown in-line with the text, so it will scroll upwards with the text. (If you want the picture to remain on-screen, you could use the "Show a picture in a popup window" command, but note that that won't work online or with Quest 5 - the picture will be shown in-line instead).
You can use any image editing program (yes, even Paint) to create your pictures. Just be sure to save your picture in a format that Quest supports - GIF, BMP or JPG. I'd recommend either GIF or JPG as these have a smaller file size than BMP.
You can make your "Show a picture" script run whenever the player enters the room - go to the Advanced tab for the room and edit the "When the player enters the room" script.
