Strange error report - can't load my game! - RESOLVED -

[shaun9991]

Hi guys,

I've tried to load my game this morning in AGS, and this error is coming up. I'm panicking as this may mean I've lost quite a few hours of work since the last back up... Anybody know what's causing this or how to fix it?

edit: I've just realised I last saved the game in 3.3.3, and I'm trying to load it in 3.3.0. This is probably why?



Any help much appreciated,
Shaun

Yes, there was one property in the game project that has changed type. Namely, it was "Number dialog options" which changed from simple On/Off to multiple selection.

It is possible to revert to 3.3.0 by manually editing Game.agf, which is an XML file. You can do that in a notepad (but make a backup copy first).
Find the line that may look like this:

Code: xml

<NumberDialogOptions>KeyShortcutsOnly</NumberDialogOptions>

and change it to

Code: xml

<NumberDialogOptions>False</NumberDialogOptions>
