Title: Game loading error. My game doesn't load!
Post by: xerca on Sat 19/12/2009 16:37:47
While I was working on my game project my computer suddenly turned off (it is doing this sometimes since last week). when I opened the computer and tried to open my game on AGS, an error occured. it said "if you can't solve it post to technical forum" so I did now. also when I looked at the forum, I saw this topic: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=39618.0 and read it; but it didn't help. here is the error's screenshot:

(some words are in my language: "kök öğesi eksik" means something like "root component is missing" and "konum:" means "place:")
please help me if you can

Do you have a file in your game project folder named Game.agf.bak? If so try replacing the Game.agf file with that one.

1) Rename Game.agf to something else like Game.agf.orig
2) Rename Game.agf.bak to Game.agf

You may need to go into Folder Options on Windows to show/edit the file extension.

If that doesn't resolve your issue then I don't know if it's recoverable unfortunately. Have you backed up your game project folder at all?

I tried that but didn't work so i think i will remake the game using the old one's files

If your computer is unstable and prone to randomly switching off, then you really need to start making regular backup copies of your entire game folder, since AGS could be in the middle of saving any of the files there when your computer turns off.
