I installed windows on one of my other laptops and for some reason it gives me and error when trying to load a .agf file. It says something about locked property. Is there any way I can fix this?
The 'Locked' property that error is referencing is part of the editor changes introduced by Calin Leafshade in one of the newest versions of AGS. I don't recall specifically which version, you may have been using the 3.2.2 dev branch previously. And the title says can't "edit/make" games, but that error would only crop up when loading an AGF file with the Locked property in an AGS version which didn't.
By the way, the property relates to GUI controls, so you can prevent yourself from accidentally repositioning them (by locking them in place).
The locked property is in the latest official (3.2.1) version of AGS so providing youre using that there should be no issues.
Also, and this really almost goes without saying, but windows 8 isn't officially supported as:
1. It's in testing.
2. It could have a bunch of weird shit with permissions and services that break loads of apps out the door.
Just bear this in mind. If it works on a fresh install, great. If not, it's likely a compatibility issue.
Ok this all sorta makes a little sense. I'm using 3.2...2. When I check the property of things everything seems to be unlocked like it is in windows7. So the problem could be with what Progz was saying about the win8 beta.
