Okay, I have thought of making a "launcher" to combine several small "mini-games" but actually keep them separate for ease of use. These, by their nature, need to be different resolutions and color depths.
I know the manual says it should cause strange results, but I got it to work a couple times (color depth the same, but resolution different.)
The last time, switching from low color-low res to high color and res, it gave me this message:
---------------------------
Illegal exception
---------------------------
An exception 0xC0000005 occured in ACWIN.EXE at EIP = 0x00404780 ; program pointer is -3, ACI version 2.61.728, gtags (2039,36)
I thought I might ask if it could have been a scripting error on my part, or if this is the "nasty results" the manual spoke of.
If this does not work, I have another idea, which would involve a third program or bat file, several automatic save files, an AGS native file, and a nine iron. :)
You mean you used RunAGSGame() for the launcher? I think you shouldn't mix resolution/colour depth using that, so you're right, you may really need to use a BATch file or some other programmes for it.
Phlooey. I figured I'd have to, I just have a mess of code to write now.
:p
Thanks anyway
