Title: Transilation and building vox files (Solved)
Post by: on Sun 21/11/2004 14:25:09
Hello. First post here.

According to the manual provided with AGS, when (re)building the vox files, I should add 1000 to the number when naming music files (i.e. MUSIC1001.ogg) but when I do that, and rebuild the vox files, I get the message: "Unable to add the file MUSIC1001.mp3 because it's an LFN"
What does that message mean?
I read from another post that the solution to this is to name the music file MUSIC1.ogg and it worked, but what am I missing here?

And another thing. AGS allows us to make transilation files. But AGS doesnt allow me to use other letters than those used in english (not á í ú þ æ etc), even "It's" has to be "Its" or "It is" ... and btw, I am using the font provided with AGS.

Thanks in advance.

You can use any character you want as long as you have a font for it. I suggest downloading Radiant FontEdit, and just making a few custom fonts that you can use for those special characters. I don't know what the problem with the music file is btw. Why do you say AGS doesn't let you use the "'" (apostrophe) key? If you're trying to display just the apostrophe with the display command you have to use Display("'") not just Display(')... If that's the problem? Well, anyways, welcome to the forums.

I'll try Radiant FontEdit. Thanks.

"Why do you say AGS doesn't let you use the " ' " (apostrophe) key?"

- So far I have created messages using the interactions (Game - Display message ... or something like that).
I am able to use the key when editing the messages but when running the game I get error message when the game displays message using the ' letter; the same error message I get when I use þ ð é etc. so I assume it is the font.

"I don't know what the problem with the music file is btw"

- thanks anyway

Ignore that bit in the manual about adding 1000 -- it's way out of date and no longer applies. Thanks for spotting it, I'll remove it from the next version's manual.

Basically, MUSIC1.MP3 is music 1.

Quoteeven "It's" has to be "Its" or "It is"

Use ' instead of '.
