FATAL ERROR: "Name cannot begin with the '.' "

[Jess]

I need some help. I was chugging along, everything working fine, build compiling, all's cool. I had to restart my system and when I started back up and opened my game, this was the message:



It seems like I made some kind of error in the script, maybe mis-typed something? I don't know where to look to fix it, though and would totally love you forever for even pointing me in where to manually scan a file or what I'm looking for. Did I actually start something with a . ?

Okay- I'm sorry- it got worse- when I tried to load it again to take a screenshot it made a different message and somehow it now thinks my broken game is some other game I started making and it's all gone to hell.

Is there any way to save my stuff? I can still get at all the room scripts and the global script- what else would I need to salvage a week of work?

actually do you get to open the game via AGseditor? if you do rename the game somehow else. you probably have the game name: .mygame. Which actually makes AGS malfunction. That will fix things up.

Can you be clearer about when exactly you get this error? Is it when you try to run the game? When you try to set an object's name? Could you upload a screenshot of the error that's occurring?
