Topic: [PLUGIN] Joystick / Game controller support! v1.2.0

Yes that's the real current name of the exe file. Me and my friend are using the same project file. I dont have any other extra files apart from agsjoy.dll and a .dat file.

@Wyz: My apologies. When the saved game was made a joystick was plugged in.


Now my friend on his version is trying to load the game without joystick and he is getting this error message:



I also just realize that this exactly the same problem we had two years ago: https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=55164.0

Ah yes, this is a rather generic error something along the lines of: "You tried to use an object that no longer exists". Could it be the same problem as before? Have a look out for any piece of code that might use a Joystick object that is invalid (so .Valid() would return false). There could perhaps something in repeatedly_execute that runs before the game restore event has a chance to do checks; I don't exactly know the order of events in AGS. There might still be a bug in the plugin though; just checking.

The problem seems to be really similar to the one we had some time ago. I remember that the problem was fixed when you shared a new version of the plugin. I am still using the new version of the plugin which you provided so I am sure that we are using the latest version of the plugin but now it doesn't seems to work anymore for some strange reasons. My friend pointed out to me that somehow the numbers that come out in the error message are different from those reported two years ago.
