Devstream #4!
But I create an executable. run winsetup; say run in window mode, save it. then I zip the game with the config file and download it on another computer. and it does not run in window mode unless I run setup again in the other machine. so, whatever I set config to, does not seem to work when I run in on anther computer.
1) full screen mode should automatically scale the game to take up the entire screen. and the game should default to window mode if possible( without the need to run setup).This is done by setting "stretch to full screen" in setup. It is defaulted to "max round scaling" for historical reasons. As eri0o noted, if you send acsetup.cfg with your game, players will use your settings as initial ones before setting their own.
Ah, that might be what it is. I've just been sending out the EXE, not the associated Winsetup or audio.vox. Again, stupid newb question - will the person receiving these files need to do anything special to implement them? Or will it be okay if the file is just in the same folder? Sorry to seem so inexperienced, but this is the first time I've done something anything like this.Yes, you need to send them all, because they are all part of the game. Audio.vox contains digital audio and winsetup is a setup program. Without winsetup.exe player won't be able to configure the game (well, there is a way, but it requires additional manipulations that are not obvious).
Yeah, that's where I'm getting it from, as far as I know. I go in there, grab the .EXE file, and save it to my various upload folders and whatnot. The guys who've volunteered to playtest the game says the game works fine - except for the music. And yeah, it's only the music that doesn't play - the sound effects work just fine. As for Winsetup, I don't think I've even touched that, beyond changing the screen resolution.Ok, so it is not you who does not have the music, but another person? You say you "grab the .EXE file", what do you have in your uploaded package exactly, is it just exe, or other files too (vox, cfg)? Normally you would copy everything from Compiled/Windows folder (except debug logs "warning.log").
Do I need to update the engine? Will that effect my game if I built it in 4.3.0?No. Also, there is no 4.3.0...
Looks like I'm using the 3.4.0 version. How does that affect how audio/music is complied?
So newest ags has that?No. I mean, this probably would be best solution to add one.
Probably not the best idea, but it will be a long time before my game is done, so I assume 4.1 will be made final (or close to it) before that.
.Hey, I know this maybe too late for this, but on dialogs I seem to have the speech text draw on top of GUIs while the portraits are drawn behind the GUIs.This bug is as old as AGS... I may look into this, but cannot make any promises, because speech is one of the ugliest part of the engine code.
Video drivers can override these values, forcing a swap interval of 1 or 0 depending on settings the user provided in the video card's control panel.
Edit : v-sync works in OpenGL mode in other games (e.g Doom with GZDoom) on the same PC. Maybe is there another way to "call" a v-sync function ?
Edit : If you want to test it, I made a simple room with a vertical scrolling (it's a part of the intro of my current project) : compiled.zip
It's 60 fps (and maybe it increases the effect). I included both Windows compiled and the "raw" data. (compiled in beta 7 + acwin with v-sync test)
Edit : test... And sorry, but it doesn't change anything.
So have we found a solution to this besides just switching to DirectDraw?
Can you try using OpenGL in recently released 3.4.1 beta 4? That may be an alternative for D3D on newer systems (unless someone adds compatible renderer for DirectX 11 and higher).OpenGL works perfect on my system
So I stopped working on my game for a few months, now I decided to pick it back up, but for some reason whenever I run the game from the editor I can't hear the music. If I build the exe and run it from the compiled folder I can, but with the editor's run option It's gone. Last time I worked on it it was working just fine, so I have no idea what happened
