How do I get these sources working? >_<

C'mon, people, I won't believe that nobody has compiled it succesfully (except Alec  )

Hello, in fact this bone already exists. If you go into the animation editor you will find Naija holding a fish. All you have to do I think is changing the graphic and making this bone visible

Hello and thanks for advice. It's actually nice to see that forums aren't dead and especially nice to see such a guy in my topic 
So, what about other questions and beta-testing of "magic of aquaria" mod?

As always, more questions:
How can I make items which can be held in hand(knife, for example)? My only idea is making a special bone for "normal" form (but it seems like I need separate bone for each item).

More questions:
Is there a function in the game engine to check character's wall-holding state?
If I wanna add some screen effects, like black-and-white or sepia vision, would it require changes in the game engine?
Can animated pictures be used as a tiles?

Do you guys need some help? There's little I can do yet, as I don't know LUA and game's structure, but...

For present time I have some very general questions, as I have very general view of the mod.
So:
1. Where can I get music for mod? Or in which program I can create it myself?
2. Will confronting aliens (not those little green/gray funky humanoids, more like aliens from "Ecco"+xenomorphs+a bit of black magic) in some form be ok?

The game uses a visual editor and lua (for scripts).
I think lua should be easier to understand than C++.

But there should be major changes of interface (something instead of song-based form changing and more advanced equipment menu) and more importantly - in animation of the main character (diffirent number of limbs/moving parts). Also, about 1/3 of the mod should go above the water and main character must have form in which she can walk and run. So, can it be done with lua only?

...or modders (it's open source now and has a great editor, so where are all the modders?)

Well, I have an idea for a mod, but ignorance of C+ language (i cannot even compile ready game files from mercurial >.<) and OGL (game uses it, right?), lack of artistic skills (well, it's actually not so, as I can draw, but drawing people and such is a taboo for me - if I ever start drawing something at least close to human or other living being it's soon makes me incredibly shy and I either throw it to the garbage bin or rip to pieces before that >.<) and GLOBALITY of the idea really slows me down. I can't even begin to write my ideas on paper, because that thought "I'll never perform such a task" burdens me ._. Also one of the main reasons is music, because I do not want to use original soundtrack and can't create my own at least now, because I don't know software suitable for that (my friend uses FL studio to create backgrounds (or as it's called?) for his hip-hop songs, but there's no instruments\effects to write something like aquaria soundtrack), also I have no musical education, but, sometimes when I'm alone or walking that noisy street where nobody can hear it, I can mumble really nice song 
^{So almost all of my problems comes from lack of knowledge, not the skills...}

Hi.
Is it only seems so or this forum is really as dead as Mithalas? ._.

Hey, there most likely won't be a second part. Check out Marian on www.infiniteammo.ca to find out about Alec's actual work.

You have just made me cry
