This is probably the most simplest thing that there is to the whole AGS program, but I've only had the software for a day.
When I test to make sure that things are working fine, it saves and does it's compiling business, but it brings me an error saying:

Error: Load_room: Unable to load the room file 'room1.crm'
Make sure......(and all that)
Also check that the player character's starting room is set correctly.

its the last bit that I cant find. Where on earth do you set the starting room? It is bugging me a lot, and I can't find anything anywhere to do it?

It is probably very simple, but there you go. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Select "Characters" from the list on the left, then select your player character (probably the first one) and enter the first room's number where it says "Start in room".

Keep in mind that your room files HAVE to be named roomX.crm, where X is the number of the room. If you save under any other filename, the room will not be useable in the game. (In AGS v2.62, room 0 must be saved as intro.crm).
So if you save your first room as room12.crm, it will be room number 12. Enter this number as the starting room for your player character.

yeah, that bit i've figured.
Thanks for the help. I knew it would be pretty simple, but I couldn't find anything anyway, in the help, the faqs. nothing at all.
So again thanks. Maybe now I can get somewhere.

Oh, it's in the manual. It has to be, it's one of the most basic things there is in AGS. :)
