Compile errors after moving dialog folders up/down in 3.3.0

[Crimson Wizard]

Ah, right. Would this be something for 3.3.1, then?

If someone will make this...
I don't know, at this point this looks like a serious change to engine.

I was in the process of changing all my Dialog.Start(); instances over to goto-dialog instances when the editor crashed with the following error:

An unexpected error occurred. See below for details.

I guess this could be related the the same issues mentioned previously in this thread. I did notice (when I reloaded the game into the editor) that I had accidentally doubled up a dialog with two commands under @2, like this:

DBortInitiation

Code: ags

// Dialog script file
@S  // Dialog startup entry point
return
@1
  cBort.Say("Blah Blah Blah.");
return
@2
goto-dialog dBortMain
 dBortInitiation.Start();

Not sure if that has anything to do with it. Just mentioning it in case it's relevant.

I had saved the game (CTRL+S) but hadn't compiled it when the crash occurred. After saving, I recall trying to double-click several dialog topics, and none of them would open. After a few attempts, I double-clicked another dialog and the editor crashed with the above message.

I was in the process of changing all my Dialog.Start(); instances over to goto-dialog instances when the editor crashed with the following error:

The "Error creating window handle" exception can happen when you go out of resources. This could be a resource leak somewhere in the system, but this could also be due to too many open windows.
Did you have a lot of open windows in AGS?
Did you have a lot of open windows outside of AGS?

[AGD2]

I didn't have that many windows open in Windows nor many tabs open in AGS at the time. Actually, far less than I typically do, as I had just loaded up the editor not long before.

Don't know if this goes here, but I'm using 3.3.0.1156 and my game exe is deleted everytime I use F5 or ctrl-F5. Is that expected behaviour?
I used the winsetup to specify full screen so ctrl-F5 would give me a full screen. Is there another way to achieve that (ctrl-F5 now gives me a window)?

thanks

edit: oops, this was meant to go in the AGS 3.3.0 thread. Apparently I ended up in the wrong thread...

I think it worked like that since 3.2.1, at least. It may be argued if this is a right thing to do...

Go to File -> Preferences. On preferences window set "When running without debugger" to "Use game setup configuration".

[HandsFree]

Thanks that works.

I used 3.2.1 before this and I'm sure I didn't lose any executables. It looks to me it happens since 3.3.0.

[monkey0506]

HandsFree, I'm reasonably certain that running with the debugger has deleted the executable from the Compiled folder since 3.0 was first introduced.

[HandsFree]

Yes sorry. I checked and you're right.
