Title: Corrupt Game Folder
Post by: Sylvr on Sun 24/09/2006 02:23:27
Hi, me again. Can't seem to get my game to run. It tells me my file is corrupt. That's it. But when I run it from the file I have on my hard drive, it works fine. Any ideas on how to fix this?  ???

If you are building the game ? just delete that exe from your compiled folder and it will rebuild it.

Oh sorry. Didn't realize how unclear that was.  :-[ What I meant to say was that I have uploaded this game like 5 times and there's always something wrong with it. The last 3 times have told me that my folder was corrupt, but yet it works when I use it from the harddrive. That should be clearer.

Hello SilverTrumpet (i am also silver but a wizard ;) )
Well, it would be better if you were more specific! Anyway, i understood from what you have written that you face a problem when you uploading your game to internet, is that correct;
Well, are folder's game file made of only english characters; I mean , if e.g. you are from Greece, your folder might be like this: c:/greek letters/game.exe
Put your game into a folder which will contain only english characters.
I hope i helped a bit :)

It's all english. 'JoshandDyan.zip'

Yay silver! (I always get confused when I see your name. I think 'Hey.. I never posted there.' But then I see the 'Wizard'.  :-[)

Sounds more like a problem uploading to a webspace, not AGS related, so I'm moving this to gen gen.

Had you tried uploading to different websites, maybe this (http://americangirlscouts.org/bbc.com/yabb/index.php?topic=22428.0) ?

Move your game file to folder C (or anyway the number that represents your hard drive) and then upload it.
Your game should have this folder:    c:\mygame\mygame.exe
or whole one    c:\mygame

Did it work?

Gilbot's suggestion worked, except I used a different upload site. Thanks so much for the help! Finally it's playable!
