Unable to initiate AGS since deleting 3rd party script

Hi peeps.

I'm quite new to the AGS world, and so I apologies in advance if this is in the wrong section.

I imported a script called FOG to try it out (though never actually utilised the script within the game - just imported it) and after deleting the script via AGS' menus, I now cannot continue working on the game. Any help would be appreciated.

I cannot tell how this happened, but it looks like your game still thinks that FOGModule is a part of it. Maybe there was some error in AGS that did not let it save game properly after script was deleted.

Anyway, here is a workaround: create two empty files in your game directory - FOGModule.ash and FOGModule.asc - open the game and delete it from scripts once again (don't forget to save the project immediately after).

Thank you kind sir. I shall give this a try. Thanks also for your patience.

Doesn't seem to work unfortunately.

I'll have to start over I guess, though it's taught me a valuable lesson - that I shouldn't use scripts until I know what I'm doing.

Thanks again.

How did that not work? What did you do exactly, and what was the result? Was there same error or different?
Are you sure you created files with correct names? If you use Windows explorer, you could "create new text file" which adds ".txt" extension to the file you create.
