That one's easy, don't put a Wait() in the room_load function.

And if you can't copy and paste, try a screen capture.

Easiest way: press the PrintScreen key, then Ctrl-V it into a paint program.

Can you upload the Game.agf file so that I can take a look at what happened?

wikisend.com is a simple site that I usually use. You can specify it to be available for up to 90 days.

Yes I tried wikisend but the website has an error http 500. I 've made an link on esnips.com.

Here are the 2 files game.agf.user and game.agf.bak If it doesn 't work let me know.

Puman, I found a backup of my game. I was using the ags3.1beta, but because of the warning in the program I didn 't continue with it using the beta and went on with ags3.0.2.

Downloading your ags3.1.1, I encountered another problem, the game from beta can be loaded in the editor, but only when I 'm building the game and run the test, it 's going in the debug mode. Building the game and run - run game setup - (because of full screen testing)it stays in the compiled directory.

I don 't know if it is a mistake or not.

Get safety warning opening the file agseditor but I still can use it and work with it. I don 't know if it 's usual or an error

Trent R · Wed 03/12/2008 00:27:11

The betas always have the warning. I'm guessing that you saved your game with the 3.1beta and tried to open it with 3.0.2

You shouldn't have to use the 3.1.1 beta, try using the 3.1 release (download here).

As for the debug/compiled thing, I'm not understanding what you're trying to say... Like, at all.

Is there no "game.agf" file? If not, try renaming "game.agf.bak" to "game.agf" and see if that works.

I don't understand what you mean ... can you try re-phrasing that?

marcusbugger · Wed 03/12/2008 20:33:32

It 's there the file, I renamed it. You know the link.

Pumaman · Wed 03/12/2008 20:49:36

I downloaded that file, and the game seemed to open successfully. What is the problem you are having?

marcusbugger · Wed 03/12/2008 21:05:37

I posted some screesnshots. I will type it here, what the error is. Ok. In the meanwhile the screenshots are from the beta version.

Problem resolved, I renamed that file and replaced it with copy and overwrite. Game.ags.bak ------ renamed in another dir in Game.ags and then I copied it back an replaced and overwrite it and now it works weird. By the way could u play my game.
