Title: What the hell is an 'agr' file?
Post by: RetroJay on Mon 12/09/2011 06:56:28
Hi Peeps.

As most of you know, by now, I am trying to finnish my game using AGS 2.72.

Last night I was doing some testing to my game 'The Lost Prince Of lorden'.
I wanted to use one of the debuging tools, you know the 'ctrl + bla' keys.
For some unknown reason I pressed 'Alt and R' and a recorder started counting. ???

When I looked in my compiled folder for my game I now have an, untitled, agr file there.

My questions are... 1. What is the recorders purpous ? (as there seems no way of playing anything back.)
                               2. Can I delete this agr file from my compiled folder ?
                               3. What the hell is an agr file ? :-[

Many Thanks.
Jay.

I've never used this feature before so I'm not sure, but it's possibly the playback file generated by the (never officially supported) recording feature introduced in V2.51 (and the Alt-R shortcut was added since V2.53). The reason that it's never officially supported AFAIK was that it's not stable atm and accurate playback is not guaranteed.

Also, though it shows up still, the replay feature is disabled in more recent versions of the config file (i.e. winsetup).

Hi Iceboty and Monkey.

Thank you for your replys, and the info.

I assume that it is ok to just delete the agr file from my compiled folder then. :-\
