Title: [SOLVED] a known issue in the old version of the scrolling/parallax module
Post by: qptain Nemo on Tue 27/01/2015 15:19:08
Dualnames' game Until I Have You (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=51520.msg636504170#msg636504170) has a parallax scrolling effect which is according to him is implemented using a trivial module, but the effect doesn't work in any Linux binaries of AGS I've tried, including a binary I freshly compiled myself from the current revision of the git repo (https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags) and binaries pulled from The Cat Lady and A Golden Wake. Any insights?

This module had a scripted OS check the prevented it to work on anything else than Windows.
I have already reported that to Ali before:

but I am not aware which version of the module is used in referenced games.

You can try fixing the game by enabling a "hack". Open acsetup.cfg and add following lines:
Code (text) Select

[override]
os=windows

Thanks Crimson Wizard, that was it!

(the override hack doesn't work though)

Because it must be "os=win" instead of "windows" (*facepalm*) :tongue:
