QT AGI Studio, release 1.3.0
|

|
|
|

|
|
About
|
||
|
|
=====
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
AGI (Adventure Game Interpreter) is the adventure game engine used by
|
||
|
|
Sierra On-Line(tm) to create some of their early games. QT AGI Studio
|
||
|
|
(formerly known as Linux AGI Studio) is a program which allows you to
|
||
|
|
view, create and edit AGI games. Basically, it is an enhanced port of
|
||
|
|
the Windows AGI Studio developed by Peter Kelly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The program contains very little platform specific code so brave ones
|
||
|
|
are encouraged to try it on other operating systems that have QT
|
||
|
|
library support.
|
||
|
|

|
Availability
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
QT AGI Studio is available at http://agistudio.sourceforge.net/
|
||
|
|
The project is licensed under the GPL, GNU General Public License.
|
||
|
|
See COPYING for details.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
System requirements
|
||
|
|
===================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Linux: GNU make, g++, X Window System, QT library
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The program is now being developed with QT version 4
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NAGI, Sarien or ScummVM AGI interpreter is recommended to run games.
|
||
|
|
Sarien is available at http://sarien.sourceforge.net/
|
||
|
|
and NAGI at http://www.agidev.com/nagi.html
|
||
|
|
Sarien is more focused on portability and NAGI on compatibility
|
||
|
|
with Sierra's original AGI interpreter. Both are free.
|
||
|
|
ScummVM is actively developed, but does not integrate well
|
||
|
|
with QT AGI studio.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WINDOWS NOTE: the code hasn't been tested on Windows lately.
|
||
|
|
If you are interested, please go ahead, make a working
|
||
|
|
Visual Studio project and send a patch!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Building
|
||
|
|
========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run "make" in the src subdirectory. If the supplied Makefile doesn't work,
|
||
|
|
you can either fix it or use tmake to generate a makefile for your platform:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
qmake agistudio.pro -o Makefile
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you don't have tmake, you can download it at http://www.trolltech.com
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Make assumes that QT4 is installed and working (in particular, the QTDIR
|
||
|
|
environment variable is properly set)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installation and setup
|
||
|
|
======================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The binary is called agistudio and will be built in the src subdirectory; you
|
||
|
|
can copy it to any path convenient to use (e.g. /usr/local/bin). In order to
|
||
|
|
use the help and an example game template, copy them to any convenient place
|
||
|
|
and specify the appropriate paths in the "Settings" menu when you'll run
|
||
|
|
agistudio.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
AGI studio has its own help viewer, but you can also view the help with
|
||
|
|
any HTML browser.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If agistudio complains that it can't load qt shared library, then set the
|
||
|
|
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the path which contains libqt.so.*.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using
|
||
|
|
=====
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please read the online help. Note that if you want to use existing games'
|
||
|
|
files, all the filenames must be in lower case.
