Linking to the Winsetup through a settings panel

Hi CW, the issue that I mentioned about being confusing maybe I can fix if I use the USE_SIMPLE_GFX_INIT, I have reread the code so maybe I will look into that - is something specific for non-desktop plataforms.

@Ghostlady, I made a test build of the engine with some fixes, but I cannot test it myself, because I have only one monitor... Could you download it, place into the folder with your compiled game files are, and use it to launch the game (instead of game exe); then try the same situation as before, where you drag the window to the big monitor and switch modes?

Here's download link:

acwin.exe System Error
I get an error message that reads: The code execution cannot proceed because SDL2.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.

The screenshot that you posted earlier sais that you are running AGS 3.6.1, in which case there should already be SDL2.dll among the compiled game files.
Where did you put this acwin.exe to? I meant it should be placed with your compiled game files (e.g. Compiled/Windows folder).

Here's an updated archive with SDL2.dll, just in case.

Whoops, I put it just in the Compiled folder. I moved it under the Windows folder and tested and it did not fix the issue.

Crimson Wizard · Sun 03/11/2024 15:57:18

Could you add following lines to acsetup.cfg found inside the compiled game:

Code: ags

[log]
file=main:all

then run the same test,
then go to "%USERPROFILE%/Saved Games/Adventure Game Studio/"
and find a file called "ags.log" there,
and then either post that file's contents here, or upload it somewhere (like google drive) and post a link here?

One thing I noticed this time was that after the mouse froze, I was able to hit Alt Enter and get back into the full screen mode. I don't think I was able to do that before.

***** ENGINE HAS SHUTDOWN

Thank you.
The log shows that the mouse bounds are reasonable, there's nothing suspicious there, at least not at the first glance.

I don't have much ideas at the moment. But I'd like to ask something else: could you try if this happens only with your game, or any random AGS game too?
That's to make sure that it's purely engine's problem, and not something unusual scripted in your game.

Ghostlady · Sun 03/11/2024 20:02:36

Can you offer a suggestion for a game. I've tried two but the Alt Enter will not work because one or both of those keys are used for other things, like settings.

How old are these games?
If they are too old to support Alt+Enter, then you could use the same acwin.exe which I sent to run them instead.

I suppose that any random game released in this year may be suitable.

At last, it's possible to create a new dummy game from any template, and use that.

Ghostlady · Mon 04/11/2024 01:12:01

I downloaded King's Quest It Takes Two to Tangle - It opens in full screen mode, able to Alt Enter to windowed mode but cannot get to the top of the window to move to the other screen.
I downloaded King's Quest 1 and Alt Enter goes to a screen with a prompt to restart
I downloaded The Order - It opens in full screen mode, able to Alt Enter to windowed mode and able to move to my large screen. If I hit Alt Enter again, it flips over to my laptop screen. This one is a little strange because the first time I opened the game, I experienced my problem. The second time I can't recreate it. It opens on my laptop screen. I can toggle Alt Enter over and over and it will change appropriately. If I move to the large screen and hit Alt Enter, it constantly moves it to the laptop screen, so it will never open full window mode on large screen, it switches to the pc, but it doesn't freeze the mouse.

I'll try the new game option and see how that works.

Ghostlady · Mon 04/11/2024 01:50:00

I created a new game with just one room and the problem appeared. I was thinking maybe resolution, so I changed it from 640 x 480 (my game) to 1024 and the problem still exists.
I also tried a different monitor instead of the large one. I have a really old standard one and the problem still exits.

Ghostlady · Mon 04/11/2024 02:12:14

It's definitely the laptop causing the problem. It's still the main display but when I close the laptop, still running, the game loads up on my old monitor, I can move the game back and forth between the old monitor and newer widescreen monitor, toggle Alt Enter keys and there is no issue on either one.

Crimson Wizard · Mon 04/11/2024 10:59:19

I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you say about laptop... do you mean you have 1 or 2 external monitors connected to your laptop?

QuoteI downloaded King's Quest It Takes Two to Tangle - It opens in full screen mode, able to Alt Enter to windowed mode but cannot get to the top of the window to move to the other screen.

Ugh. I tried this, and apparently it has a "auto lock cursor inside window" option enabled by default.
You may turn it off in winsetup, on "Advanced" tab.
AGS is supposed to support Ctrl + Alt combo to toggle "cursor lock in window", but it does not work in the latest 3.6.1 for some reason, which is a new bug, and i will have to fix it.

"King's Quest 1", - if you are are referring to VGA remake, then it is probably made with the old version of AGS.

Ghostlady · Mon 04/11/2024 15:04:05

Yes, I have 2 external monitors hooked up to my laptop. If I close my laptop, the game will load onto one monitor and I can move the game back and forth on the two monitors with no problem. This tells me it's not any coding specific to my game but somehow laptop related.
