Save/load gui problems

[tommyc]

I recently put my game as complete but some bugs have come up

- the game crashes to the desktop when I start a new game unless I play it in a window
- unable to save over existing save games

here a copy of my script

//INTERFACE 4 - SAVE GAME
if (interface==4) {// if save interface
if (button==0) { //'Save' button // if save is pressed
index=ListBoxGetNumItems(4,2);// Count saved games
if (index<20) { // if less than 20
GetTextBoxText(4,3,text); // Get the typed text
InterfaceOff(4); // Close interface
SaveGameSlot(index+1,text); } // Save game (text as description)
else { // if saved games are 20
index=ListBoxGetSelected(4,2);// Get the selected save game
GetTextBoxText(4,2,text);// Get the typed text

InterfaceOff(4);// Close the interface
SaveGameSlot(savegameindex[index],text); }// Overwrite the selected game
}
if (button==1) InterfaceOff(4);// if cancel is pressed close interface
  }


//INTERFACE 5 - RESTORE GAME
ListBoxSaveGameList(5,3);// Fill List box with saved games
if (interface==5) {// if Restore interface
if (button==1) {            // if cancel is pressed
InterfaceOff(5); }// Close interface
if (button==0) { //'load' button//if load is pressed
index=ListBoxGetSelected(5,3);// get the selected game
RestoreGameSlot(savegameindex[index]);}// restore the game
     }
  }


Thanks

The second one isn't a bug - you've coded it so it'll only overwrite savegames if the list is full (20 games). So is you question how to change the code to allow that? Try a forum search, there's at least two threads in the last few months where Save/Load GUIs are dealt with in detail. (Also, what version are you using? That code looks quite out of date, but you do say you started the game 2 years ago...)

The first one is hard to answer with out more info from miryoku (or other users with the same problem). It might be to do with version conflicts, or it might be a hardware issue on their side, or it might be someting else entirely...
