Hello Everyone!
Well, after this post (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=48323.0), I decided to salvage everything and run by basically making an exact copy of the game bar the music files (since they were obsolete anyway for the project) and get a lovely uncorrupted experience. Unfortunately I receive an illegal exception error on start-up, which I read up can usually be found by commenting out sections of code until I hit what's causing the error.
So I set "check points" (basically, writing into a file, since Display("Blah") can't be used in certain functions) through what I figured would be the start-up procedure, that is:
game_start() (on all scripts)
on_event() (for eEventBeforeFadeIn)
room_Load() (for the room I'm starting in)
room_FirstLoad() (ditto)
room_AfterFadeIn() (ditto)
It appears that the error happens after the end of room_Load() but before room_FirstLoad() and room_AfterFadeIn() - does anyone know what the engine is loading up/executing at that point?
Thanks again!
There's not much left; I'd guess at that point the various repeatedly_execute functions are called.
Hmm, no, it's not them either...
I guess it's an issue with importing things then. I imported both GUIs and Rooms from the previous, so I'll see if making the GUI's from scratch helps (please God, please let it not be rooms! :-D)
Thanks again!
Does it happen if you start the game in another room?
Yep, same error.
Could it be AGS having issue with imported rooms? I noticed the editor didn't recognize room 31, but did recognize the others (when importing)... that shouldn't have anything to do with it though...
QuoteCould it be AGS having issue with imported rooms?
I had this problem once. I deleted the problem room, re-imported it and it worked.
Ahh cool, turns out remaking every GUI worked. I guess a good indicator is if the button on the GUI refuses to link to anything. Thanks also for the tip slasher - if things go wrong later on, I'll know what to test. :)
Case closed!
