@Narushime: that's a know 'feature flaw' of AGSA... For now it's easier to use the 'view By letter' option.

@AGA: Here I uploaded 2 csv files:

- AGS-AGSA-Final-(agsalinksonly).csv
- AGS-AGSA-Final.csv

AGS-AGSA-Final-(agsalinksonly).csv contains only the ags gamepages where agsa has a download link for.
-AGS DB gamepage urls [sorted on this field] (per 21-05-2013)
-AGS DB gamepage gametitles
-agsa DL urls (1)
-agsa gamepage game titles

AGS-AGSA-Final.csv contains all ags gamepages and if available also the agsa download link.
-all the AGS DB gamepage urls [sorted on this field] (per 21-05-2013)
-all the AGS DB gamepage game titles
-all the agsa DL urls (1)
-all the agsa gamepage game titles

(1)
For the collumn "AGS-DL-Link" in the file:
<AGSA link> = direct downloadlink from AGSA
"Coming soon" = has gamepage but no dl-link yet
"Buy" = has gamepage but no only a 'buy'-link
"No Gamecard" = has no gamepage at all

So to get all correct agsa dl-links in the ags-db maybe remove all the current AGSA-dl links from the ags-db and redo the job using the file AGS-AGSA-Final-(agsalinksonly).csv?

Because the title of the game in the AGS games page is not identical to the one in the AGS Archives. Not really much we can do about that, since having non identical matching is too open to mistakes. If you want to provide a list of examples of this though, I'd be happy to fix them manually.

Ah so that's why, that makes sense.
And yes, I can get you such list. Probably by tomorrow.

AGSA pages where the link isn't hosted locally won't be returned, because that's pointless. It's having a reliable link on AGSA we care about!

Dedicated links indeed

almost there, by those where you removed the "AGSA /0/" link you seem to have left a hardreturn or something between the last line and the closing bracket:

If the image doesn't work, please report that.
)

in stead of:
If the image doesn't work, please report that.)

example

just a small thing

EDIT2:
Still I don't get why for example Indiana Jones and the Crown of Solomon demo 2.1 has no AGSA link anymore while it does has an AGSA page & AGSA DL link.
For KQ II+ VGA same thing (except that the AGSA DL link for this game is an external url)
While III Spy still does have a correct AGSA link in the AGS-DB while it also does has an existing AGSA page and DL link...

Nice!

EDIT:
But some ags-db games has an AGSA DL-link that ends up an 'GameID/0/', 2 examples:

Indiana Jones and the Crown of Solomon demo 2.1 (by CJ entertainment) has as AGSA dl-link: http://agsarchives.com/download/GameID/0/ in stead of: http://agsarchives.com/download/GameID/606/
King's Quest II+ VGA (by AGD Interactive) has as AGSA dl-link: http://agsarchives.com/download/GameID/0/ in stead of: http://agsarchives.com/download/GameID/118/.

Or will all these these 'GameID/0/' links be correct by the Image Updaters?

if it isn't and the games is elsewhere, create the page and download on agsa and point the games db to that direction.
No one has told me we were able to do that..?! That would've saved a lot of time!!! Mediafire...*mumblemuttercurse*

Here's where Peder will come to the rescue

I think you/we will need a special account for that.
@Peder: strange, I seem to be unable to login at agarchives... (or has it never been working so far? can't remember...)

EDIT:
Just been talking with Peder about this and I quote him:
"There is currently no way of adding games on AGSA...
But it will hopefully come very soon"

Yes, sounds like the best way to work this all out.

Yeah, I wasn't clear about that. Linking the AGS database entries to Peder's AGSA is basically what we did for the past two weeks (with a few minor exceptions that actually have outside mirrors). If the missing game was in the AGSA database, we linked it there. I even pasted an AGSA link as download mirror in most entries while fixing screenshots.

Clear.

Quote from: Tramponline on 21 May 2013, 16:37

I meant exclusively those games that have no mirror at all so far, no AGSA entry (or file!), no outside mirror...

Isn't it easy for those games to upload them to their (maybe to be created) AGSA gamepage and add that AGSA-dl-link to the AGS-DB as main download link?
(just thinking...)

And one question: I'm slowly getting somewhat confused with all the upload/download resources we have. We can't just simply link those game entries to Arj0ns uploads (or the link Peder posted: http://arj0n.agsarchives.com/) directly, or can we? We download them and upload them to sites like mediafire for now (at least that's what I did with the few games I fixed from the 'unavailable' list so far). Sorry, total noob concerning all that server mubojumbo-overhead-bandwith-limitations stuff.

I would NOT suggest to link them to the uploads I did, these are just temporarily.
And also NOT to my AGSA account (http://arj0n.agsarchives.com/), a while ago I just uploaded a pile of old ags games there to be sorted.

These uploaded missing games (and missing games that might be found again in the future) should at least be added to peders AGSA (there's space enough PLUS it's a dedicated space). Using a host like Mediafire isn't the best option imho...
I don't know if they can also be uploaded to the AGS games database somehow or linked from peder's AGSA?

Well, that stuff is up to AGA and Peder I think

If you mean the AGSA bit, that'll all be done with database queries. It'll take a few minutes when I get the chance to take a look at it. Not something anyone but me can really do!

Yeh, you better do the magic db stuff AGA.

I meant the whole "missing images/broken links/missing games/etc" process here

Beginners' Technical Questions / Charactername in a variable [solved]

« on: 16 May 2013, 14:05 »

I'd like to know how I can use a charactername (cEgo for example) in a variable so I can use the variable and only have to declare the specific name once.
Example:

Code: Adventure Game Studio

// room script file
String Player1;
 
function room_AfterFadeIn()
{
Player1 = cEgo;
}
 
function room_RepExec()
{
if (player==Player1)
  {
if (((NpcIsFollowing == false) && ((cEgo.x <= (cMerchant.x))......
//more code//
}
