I don't know if this is possible but -
I'm kind of guy who has weird karma which picks up viruses and strange problems all the time.
Often, they affect AGS. This results all kind of error messages. Like - right now I have something weird going on which messed up MSN messenger main screen, replacing icons with black boxes. And resulted AGS to display BOXES instead of letter "o". Also, it gives an error message when exiting game. Again, I suspect that if I could understand the error, I'd might have idea what's going on.
CJ has ability to decode ags errors. Into english. Why not have some kind of a library or dictionary for users to understand, or just let AGS give error messages with descriptions in human, not machine language? Is it possible at all?
Instead of trying to teach your computer English, why not just learn Computer? :P
Why don't you post the error message here so we can help you?
Generally, most errors that AGS might expect to encounter on a day-to-day basis are worded in a readable fashion. The rare errors which should not normally occur are often worded more techincally, to assist me with debugging AGS should the need arise.
What I did mean, was - Let's say AGS had problems initializing DirectDraw. Instead of posting a thread here or waste CJ's time with PM'ing, waiting for reponse and so on, AGS could just tell me that so I understand and I'll see what I can do about it myself.
Often, errors just disappear after fresh reboot or are caused by some viruses, etc. And these are cases where reporting is just waste of time.
can you give an example of an error message which you think isn't descriptive enough?
