Hi,

I am planning to buy Love/Hate but I have few questions.

First, I know Love/Hate works in Adventure Creator, so ehat exactly is the integration like? Do we have to add scripts (I am not a coder) or buy third party addons to make it work with Adventure Creator (or playmaker, since I am using both).

Second, will Love/Hate work with Fungus? Will there be integration for that?

Thank you.

Hi,

To use Love/Hate's Adventure Creator integration, you only need to buy Love/Hate and Adventure Creator. It doesn't require any scripting. The Adventure Creator integration package is included in Love/Hate. When you import it (as described on page 32 of the Love/Hate manual), it will add Love/Hate-specific Adventure Creator actions. You can use these actions in your Adventure Creator actionlists and cutscenes. The integration package also adds Remember scripts to include Love/Hate data in Adventure Creator saved games. (This paragraph might not make any sense unless you're already familiar with the Adventure Creator terms "actions" and "Remember scripts". The Adventure Creator manual does a good job of defining them, though.)

There currently isn't a plan for official Fungus integration, but it shouldn't be too difficult to integrate. It will take a bit of scripting, though. Since you're not a coder, you might be able to muddle through by essentially copy-pasting the code from the PlayMaker actions and perhaps leaning on the Fungus community forums for a bit of scripting assistance. Then again, there's a huge overlap between Fungus and Adventure Creator. You probably won't need to use both in the same project. In fact, if you do use both, they're likely to step on each others' toes and cause more headaches than it's worth.

I am using Fungus for a text only game and Adventure Creator for FPS adventure project (still new to it), so that's why I was wondering if I could use Love/Hate for both projects (since both are adventure games, only different types).

Anyway, thanks for the reply.
