Title: Looking for a copy of the 2.72 Manual
Post by: Dannymac247 on Sun 13/10/2024 14:46:30
Well, this is a bit embarrassing. On a whim the other day I started whipping up something new in AGS 2.72, because that is the last version I used and I got a few rooms and objects in place, then I was trying to remember a few details (some scripting language, and how to upload music) and when I went to the helpfile it... wasn't there.

Like, the help browser would open, and I could see the searchable table of contents and everything, but when I selected anything IN that table of contents no content would open up.

I know 2.72 is ancient and so it's likely some compatibility issue or something like that, but by any chance would anyone know where I could find a copy of the documentation not in the AGS .chw file? Like does anyone maintain a repository or that sort of thing? None of my searches in the forum or on Google turned up any links that work.

This normally happens when you download something in a zip file and Windows marks the contents as "dangerous".

Try selecting "ags-help.chm" file in a file explorer, open file properties, and find "Unblock" button there.
