Well, I'm only asking for them because they're incomplete in the 1.0b. I can't do these my self because whenever I try I get hundreds of errors. I didn't mean how to make them. Nobody has to do them if they don't want to. :yuusaku:

Ahh. I think I misunderstood your initial request.

The characters are bundled into files. for example Mia and Phoenix are in pw_attorneys. Karma, Godot and Payne are in pw_prosecutors.
The two ways to find out if the character exists is to create them and try use normal as every character should have "normal", or go into the pwlib files and find pw_create.
Sorry for the mis-understanding. And I hope I didn't sound offensive or anything in the last post :yogi:

Like Iris, Trucy and Maya have been released individually and will be in the next release. Not sure about the judge (2 months and I still haven't used him at all, awful), but seeing as how KSA says he's in and one court case has been released he, too, should be complete.

Here is Trucy and here is a link to the case I mentioned, if you're interested.

I think we need a complete list of character animation functions (and maybe some other common functions too). Unless someone else does it I will when I'm bored and have the time.

DDRKhat, I hope you don't intend to release 1-1 once you've finished it. As far as I know it'd be a bit more copyright infringing than CR allow.

I was the one that took the default pwlib package and animated the judge. If you go to the previous page, I put the code to do him in a spoiler.

+1 truth.

Considering MechaBowser released a 1/2 complete case 1-1 for his 2.1, I dont think they would mind Case 1-1. Besides it will only be case 1-1. I will later do case 4-1 FLASH DEMO NOT THE FULL but that would merely be to demonstrate that custom commands (now supported by AIGE) can make life even easier.

Case 1-1 is intended to show users how to make things act like the game for PWLib.

Ok, been eyeing this program for a while now and finally had the time to sit down and try to tinker with it. I have run into a snag; and after trying to solve the problem through some tinkering (with no luck) thought it time to post the issue here.

Basically here's what my files look like.

tutogame.hlsl

Spoiler: save space

And my startup file.

Spoiler: save space

When I click on the AIGE file, I get this error:

I didn't see the same problem reported earlier on in this thread, though I could've missed it. I'm hoping that this may just be a text error on my part, but after combing through what little I've done it seems unlikely.

For the record, I have downloaded the C++ thing and the DirectX. I'm running on Windows XP.

Uncomment this: //#include(tutogame.hlsl)

I thought so...
All right, just removed the "//" tag from infront of the #include; now when I click the AIGE file there is an error and it doesn't load up at all (as in, no black screen, nothing. Just an error message and to "send an error report"). Hm...

You've put a C instead of an S in waitresponse();. That might be the cause of the crash. The misspelled script worked without crashing for me though (if initializing pwlib over and over again can be called "working").
What you should get is a white top screen and a black lower screen.

Thought I'd fixed that spelling error, guess I didn't.
Now that I have fixed it, I still get the error report. It still doesn't load AIGE.

Thanks for being so patient with me guys *gives out cookies*
For some odd reason, despite saving my tutogame as an hlsl file, I think it still thought of it as a txt? I'm not exactly sure how to word is out. In the end I just deleted the file and remade it and that seemed to work.

Now I've a different issue altogether *waits for the groans*
I'm following along the tutorial. Basically when I run it, this is what it looks like.

Since the funky text issue seemed to be kind of common while looking through the thread, I'm not entirely concerned about it (for now at least). The missing graphics, however, I'm a little more interested in.

My tutogame.hlsl file looks like this:

Spoiler: save space

I'm not sure if this has to do with the problem, but my PW folder is located in the same folder as AIGE.

Wait for PWLib 1.1. The new AIGE exe might fix that issue.

Btw, the 1.1 release will be in a matter of hours now.

Internally? The only real change that I personally am aware of (And just did a complete test run through case 1-1) is how cross-examination and witness testimonies are handled. A message box spawns after the animation, in order to put the message into it;

Code:

setvar([pw_crossmessage],"\n -- Witness's Account --");

Be aware, you have to display a message box and such prior..

so for example..

Code:

[case1_statement1]
placefadescreen(1,"O");
runscript("showpwchar");
runscript("pw_showwitnessstand");
runscript("pw_enablesahwitnormal");
runscript("pw_orangemessagebox");
runscript("pw_showtestimony");
setvar([pw_crossmessage],"\n    -- Witness's Account --");
runscript("pw_showwitnesstestimony");

Other then that, nothing that will affect you directly, the only other change that I'm aware of is the "Select an Answer!" being animated properly.
Although, it won't blink the correct answer. That is up for you to handle.

----------ALSO!--------
KSA forgot to put a fix into the casesel.hlsl demo! (Located inside the examples folder)
beneath

Code:

runscript("pw_initpwlib");

add in..

Code:

runscript("pw_initcaseselectionscreen");

If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything!

i had few small problems, but finally managed to run it correctly.

the scripting now shows some problems, and i'm not sure how to take care of some. for example this:

Code:

if(<compare([lifebarfx],"greater",[lifebardamage])>,<null()>,<jumptoscript("bar21")>);

now gives an error. i guess the "greater" part is what causes it, but dunno what to replace it with.

what is f5 for? it darkens the bottom screen like pause, but the top screen becomes pure white.

also how do you save?

Great, thank you KSA. Good stuff.

Now, time to nitpick!

Why is the little arrow in the messagebox the same as the big arrow in the advance button, but resized? It looks less than pretty as a result of the resizing, which didn't bother me before since the arrow is so small, but it's a problem now.
See, when I tried to alter the current big arrow and its animation to make it smoother (it's very jerky as of now) it resulted in the small arrow moving up and down instead of left and right.

Spoiler: Before and after

So, my request: Please make the tiny white arrow separate from the big one.

I can post the altered code and arrow if you want to have a look at them.

Also, it seems the correct font doesn't show. Or maybe it's just a different size. Either way, I can't figure out how to fix it.

DDRKhat, PWLib 1.1 autoinits the case selection screen upon the pw_initpwlib call.

F5 opens the AIGE Console. If you place the file Console.png the F5 won't go white. I just don't use it since pw window is small for it.

I'll look on the ">","<",etc stuff.

To save, you can use 2 ways:
1)Quick Saving
run pw_enablequicksaveload to enable, and pw_disablequicksaveload to disable.
Remember to disallow quick save on the main screen.

2) Point auto-save
run pw_saveprogress to save
run pw_loadprogress to load
If you assign the load to the continue, recall to hide the main screen first

-I indeed did the small arrow as the resized big arrow, since i had other stuff to work on at the time (aige render issue).
If you do a replacement that is good, i'll include it on pwlib's next release (or release a small patch for 1.1).
The animation itself is different, but the gfx and frames are equal.

-One small change goes to the slide. When it expires, it forces the object to move to the "limit". That was what was expected on sliding, i just forgot to do it earlier.

Would've expected someone else to reply to you by now.. oh well.

You could use the default image it uses (PW/misc/selectcase.png)

The rest.... used to be on the rom rips page however apparently that was changed since earlier today.. so uhm.. I suppose thats yuor only option, sorry. :sadshoe:

I installed the updates, which seems to have taken care of the graphic problem before (that and a missing string of code). Now that the graphics are visible, o_O;;; maybe it's better to show you.

I'd seen screenshots of the images being blurry before; but I don't think I've come across them looking this bad. I'm more concerned about the white box around Ema. Not to mention, my text box seems to be a solid color instead of being transparent to a degree. Any suggestions?

looks like alpha channel problem. maybe your graphic card doesn't support it correctly when used like this or something, since the name box is transparent.

check how maya works, i'm curious whether she'll be so stretched too or normal, and if having the alpha background as black will work better than white.

the name tags use black background around themselves instead of white, and on the screenshot they look just fine, so i wonder if that could be the cause of the white backgrounds.

also looks like non-pow2 sprites forced into pow2 size bug on ema and the buttons.

I want to learn how to do this, but I can't even figure out how to work the example script >_<

What am I supposed to click on to start it?

check how maya works, i'm curious whether she'll be so stretched too or normal, and if having the alpha background as black will work better than white.

I put Maya in to replace Ema, as asked. Surprisingly, Maya looks fine.

Granted, the text box is still black. I'm not quite sure what you meant by alpha background being black vs white, or else I'd have tweaked with that as well.

Well I'm having a big problem. I double click on the exe file to open the program, but nothing comes up. The problem with this program is that it's not simple in that way.

By the way, is it open-source? :doodle:

well, the background around the characters which should be transparent has a color too, it's just set to be recognised as transparent with an additional alpha layer.

for some reason your graphic card doesn't seem to like it if the color is not black, and in that case the entire alpha channel probably shuts off. alpha channel stores the transparency levels, so without it working right you get those white boxes around the character. the message box has white background that surrounds it, maybe that's why it isn't transparent.

i guess an overhaul of the default graphic files is required again, to recolor backgrounds in everything with alpha channels to black, and to resize it to pow2-compatible sizes just to prevent problems like this.

There isn't much chance of AIGE becoming DirectX 8 compatable, is there?

Change the startup.aigehls inside scripts so it includes that file.

I will be releasing case 1-1 soon. You can use that as a learning tool. (Be prepaired for some careful reading!)

AIGE will not do anything to begin with and just present a black screen until you tell it to do something code-side (inside scripts/startup.aigehls

If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything!

by the way, tried to replace the greater with larger, but it still causes an error.

Code:

Incorrect Function Signature for compare function.
pwlib/core\pw_investigation.hlsl:-1
when running in primary mode
bar21:compare([lifebarfx],"larger",[lifebardamage]);
