Title: having trouble with text display
Post by: on Fri 28/11/2003 23:49:04
Haven't found anything similar in the FAQ, hope you can help:

Every text that gets displayed, is shown mirrored. Even the prompt screen when exiting the game. The programm itself is shown normal, it's in-game that the error appears.

Another thing: Even though I've registered and logged in, I'm asked to fill in my name and adress while writing this post. That's weird, seeing as I was logged in just a minute ago.
Weird thing is, I can't fill in the name I used to register myself. So this forum must acknowledge my existence, as it were.

Ignore the name - it's supposed to be Tracer.

I believe there is something in Game Settings that allows support for right to left languages.  Do you have that checked by any chance?

Yeah well, I haven't ever had a similar problem with any other board, so this is pretty unique.

As for the game settings, I'm having trouble finding 'em. I'll try looking harder but... could you help me out please? Thanks a lot!

General settings (first in the tree list)-> Write game text backwards (Hebrew style). Make sure it isn't ticked.

Is somewhere in the beginner FAQs or similiar said that when someone refers to the geme/general settings, it means the first thing in the tree list, the screen that opens up when you start AGS and load or create a game? And when spoken of the Game Setup, it means the setup accesable by File -> Setup Game...
