For some reason I cant create rooms above 300...

[pharlap]

Hi all

Ive had a good look through the forums, all i can find on the subject of rooms 300 + is that they dont retain changes.

I have an interesting problem. Whenever I try to create a room above 300, the number immediately resets to 300.

The fact that rooms over 300 do not retain changes suggests that it must be possible to create rooms beyond that number.

If anyone can help with this, it would be much appreciated.

A little background: Ive recently finished a game as a birthday present for a friend (took 8 months, graphics very crappy but a very large game which was a mixture of problem solving and action). It has gone down really well with the recipient and other friends that have played it. Despite my horrificly bad graphics and inability with sound. Anyhoo, just shy of 150 rooms.

Ive started a new project involving extending it into a wide roaming RPG. This is going well so far, but I've calculated that i will need a capacity of rooms in excess of 300. But for some reason, at the room creation screen, if i enter a number greater than 300, the number automatically resets.

Any ideas?

Looks like AGS tries to give you a push. Not a bad thing in principle, but if you already have a room #300, it still tries to reset the higher number to 300, then complains that there is already a room with that number.

But, that and your issue can be resolved easily. After the room is created, you can change the number in its properties.

If you set check "Do not save state in this room", then it will let you set room number to >300.
I think this is merely to not let user occasionally create room that does not keep its state.

Cheers guys,

Khris, does that mean that whenever i create a room intended to be over 300, i have to create it as 300 and then change in properties? If so i would be best to move everything that connects to my current 300 and set that as something else and keep 300 blank as a space to create new rooms to then re assign to other numbers through properties?

Just confirming if i understand the drill correctly?

No.
When you create new room - set check "Do not save state in this room", it will let you set room number to >300 right away.

Yeah, sorry about that, I somehow missed the checkbox entirely. As soon as you check it, the number changes to 301 (or the next free room number > 300, I assume).
