Just like the title says.

CLICK HERE to view the AGS Wiki BFAQ, and add your question, and its answer. The great thing about a Wiki is the power of peer review and editing, as well as reverting back to older versions if something's funny.

If you come across a thread that you feel belongs in the Beginners' FAQ, then please reply to this thread with a link to that thread (which you can copy to the clipboard right from your address/URL bar in IE/FireFox/Opera/whatever).

I'm finding that I don't have a lot of time anymore to go through all the threads and reply to the simpler questions with references to the BFAQ, before a million other users have replied with answers that could easily be found in the BFAQ. I sometimes miss entire pages of threads.

So if you find any thread that you feel is a common enough question to warrant being added to the BFAQ, then please, by all means, reply here and post the URL to it.

Thank you!

The Problem "digital sound driver not found" should be ammended with the fix that I have to do, which is, as hotspot says: This happens to me sometimes. If you have a program open that is already using the digital sound thingy-ma-gig it will happen.
(Closing Windows Media Player)

Thanks guys, I'll add them all when I get a chance. There are also quite a few [SOLVED] threads right now that should be added to the BFAQ. I've been extremely busy lately with another web site (www.xylot-themes.com), but now that that's done and out of the way, I can return to moderatin' and BFAQin'.

Not the most common question but I think it would be nice to have on reference.

Not sure if this belongs in the BFAQ, but it might be nice to have more of a warning, than just that there're no sprites included:

You need to fix the link for the "The Big List of Paint Programs!". It points to the old agsforums.com when it needt to go to adventuregamestudio.co.uk. At least I can find Chris Jones for only $9.95!

(among others)

Running agsedit.exe directly from the zip file before unzipping everything first seems to be a common beginner's mistake.

I turned it into an ebook, which you can download here:

Thanks and enjoy!

BTW Please download atleast once every28 days so link stays good.

TerranRich · « **Reply #18 on:** 23 Jan 2006, 17:34 »

I'm assuming that with the new addition of the AGS Wiki that any new questions that come up can be added by anybody, right?

The weight of the BFAQ is off my shoulders! Yippee!!!

Why not link the wiki in the top post?
