Gameshow Maker - Discussion, Help, and Feedback

[Nemo5]

Thanks very much for making this program. It is great. I am not familiar with html and am having a difficult time getting a picture of a face shield to load for question 2. Question 1 works fine. Here is what I have typed in.

 Who remains on scene 1hr after hot work has been completed? A:Fire watch  B:The Mole
<img src='FaceShield' />
Column 1, Question 3
Column 1, Question 4
Column 1, Question 5

I have the FaceShield image in the same directory as the Gameshow maker files. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, you have src='FaceShield' but it should be the filename.  So something like 'FaceShield.jpg' if your image is JPG and 'FaceShield.png' if the image is PNG.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

[Nemo5]

That did it. Working great now. Thank You.

Dude,
I'm using the image code EXACTLY as you've inputed in one of the other bulletin replies,
but my image still won't show up...instead, it just says "Image - " on the flash player for Jeopardy.
What exactly do you mean by html tag for file location?

I went on the properties of my image and copied and pasted its location
in notepad for my questions for Jeopardy...after the whole coding of
Image-
<img src =...>
Am I doing anything wrong?

Attach the textfile here.

[Ashleen]

What do you mean text file?
Like the picture's location on my desktop?

[pftq]

The textfile with your questions.

I would like to have have a column of questions each play a 30sec video when selected. Is it possible to do this?

[pftq]

Not at the moment but I can add it as a future feature.

Hi there. Thanks so much for this! I have been searching the net for over a week and thank God I stumbled upon this website. There's one thing I need to ask though. Is there something I can do to remove the flying words at the beginning of the program? Thanks again!

Hello, that's a interesting point.  Go to setup.ini Set this to 1:

introl=1 // Length of intro (ms)

Set this to nothing (empty):
sprites=

It just occured to me that setting introl to 0 by itself should do the trick but currently doesn't, requiring this workaround.  I will make sure to fix that in the next version.  Thanks!

[Nemo5]

I was wondering if there is a way to stop the program from using the category names for flying sprites. I prefer to set the flying sprites from the setup.ini.

[pftq]

Not currently - sorry.  I will add that is a future change to make.

I just want to say thank you for this program.I used the program the other day as a safety training aid and everyone had a great time. If I could make a request, I would love for this to be able to play a .FLV video the same way it is able to display a picture. That would be awesome. Thanks again.

Hi that's great to hear.  Adding video playability is definitely on my list, but I might not have a chance to work on it until mid-March.

Thanks for the feedback though.  For now, the best I can suggest is having the video already up and using Alt+Tab to switch windows.
