Note: I figured out that you can (with seemingly no side affects) just unzip the MSAGENTS listed here: http://www.msagentring.org/chars.htm to a temp folder and then copy the .asc files over to: C:\WINDOWS\msagent\chars (if needed, change out the root directory (C:\). (Further testing: you may have to install the .ini file to a location I have not found as of yet? Let me know if you have problems without the .ini included.)

Thus you do not have to worry about an install routine popping up on the user's Desktop. Again, it is best to at least give some warning (ie. Dialog.Message()) before installing files onto a user's system.

Also then you can easily change between the Agents if you so desire. Remember, one Agent at a time may be activated.

OH! Don't forget to have the tv_enua.exe installed as well! This is the voice portion.

Have fun!

Also, in MASH you can use the combo CTRL+F1 to get a listing of the Animations. Thus you can manipulate such even in AMS. Such as Worm's MSAGENT example.

More... :yes'ness.

:p

Oh! When you are using MSAGENT. You may want to disable (if you do this via LuaCom in AMS) the ability to move your project's window. Then the X, Y coords will be accurate!

Eh, I just post as I think of the things that others may run into or need as well. Because if I don't do it now, I may forget.

No problem. But it's true. I'll forget these little gems and then I'll have to relearn them.

:eek:

I was thinking about putting a program-for-kids together. I am looking at doing some training at my shop. So, the MSAGENT seems like a good fit and may keep the kid's (and adults for that matter) attention.

Plus it's just fun to use MASH. I just bought a copy myself.

Has anyone used MASH (MSAGENT front-end programming platform)? Has it worked out good for you?
