In a similar way as before, would it be possible to get an export of the stats?
(given that the tracking is now turned off this is likely to be the final request for it)

It looks quite interesting:

...but I'm stuck on the first puzzle.

Has anyone else played it and can give me a clue?

It looks like I'm missing a library, but where is it meant to come from?

If setting Character.DiagonalLoops to true enables the use of the diagonal frames, is there any way to lock the pathfinder to only use diagonal movements, and so only use those frames?

It was to get a namespace for the settings class, to differentiate between builds which are (effectively) portable and the actually releases where settings need to persist between versions. As long as the plug-in isn't mixed assembly, you can retrospectively sign it by decompiling and recompiling with a generated key.

Any chance of trying this again? I'm not sure what happened with the previous attempt with a Let's Encrypt certificate, but was there a reason why it couldn't be used?

Code: ags

player.on

This seems to be valid in the compiler, but I can't find an equivalent property which is documented.
Is this effectively the same as the room setting to show the player character? If so, I can't find an equivalent to check if the player is visible or not.

Are these still being stored somewhere, and are they publicly accessible?
(I would like to see them)

Have there every been any test games, which just implement and test all the scripting functions? The reason I ask, I've probably spent more time in AGS writing scripts to test than in ScummVM actually testing them. I imagine test scripts could also be useful for the normal branch, the cleanup branch, and for XAGE. I'd like to suggest that the GitHub repository hold a test game along with the demo game (or potentially just make the demo game be a function showcase/tester, rather than an actual game).

It looks like there is a problem with the SSL certificate, it seems to issued for the wrong hostnames (rwdb.info and www.rwdb.info).

If you go to http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/community/ there is a dead link for "#AGS Quotefile". I'm pretty sure that complaining about the content of this page was on my to-do list (content seemed to be offensive for the sake of being offensive, doesn't seem a great way to promote a game engine or it's community) so I'm not sad it's gone, but I wasn't sure if anyone had realised that the link doesn't go anywhere now.

I wanted to run some tests for audio playback, and had problems with the following code:

Code: ags

function on_key_press(eKeyCode keycode) 
{
	//music is a global *AudioChannel
	if (keycode == eKeyZ)
		music = aWavFile.Play();
	if (keycode == eKeyX)
		music.Seek(music.Position + 1000);
	if (keycode == eKeyC)
		Display("Test %d", music.Position);
}

I could start music by pressing Z, pressing X does nothing, pressing C displays 0.

I switched from using a WAV file to an OGG file and the same code works with no problems:

Code: ags

function on_key_press(eKeyCode keycode) 
{
	//music is a global *AudioChannel
	if (keycode == eKeyZ)
		music = aOggFile.Play();
	if (keycode == eKeyX)
		music.Seek(music.Position + 1000);
	if (keycode == eKeyC)
		Display("Test %d", music.Position);
}

Pressing X now skips forwards and pressing C displays the current position. Is this expected behaviour or is this a bug? I haven't read anywhere that WAV files should be treated any differently, other than threading may be handled differently. I'm testing in 3.4.0.3 (Alpha).
