EDITS: I'll keep adding messages instead of making new posts. If it's more convenient to make new posts, please advice.

[AGA]

Thanks for the info.  Please do continue making new posts though, as that way I know when I've worked my way through the games to be updated.

Here are some more games with broken links, followed by the correct link.

Chick Chaser

A Christmas Blunder

A Christmas Tale Demo

Christmas Quest 1, 2 and 3 - The link to game 2 gives a 404, while 1 and 2 goes to the main page, and there is some searching needed to find the games. I suggest the article with download options for each:

Not sure whom to address this, there's a game called "Hit The Freak" which download is not available in the database anymore, but I have a download link attached by user to a bug report a while ago: https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/files/3955030/git.tar.gz
(Don't know how long this link will be available, it's hosted by github now and is automatically named archive containing another archive...)

[heltenjon]

Sophia McGrath and the Strange Invitation
https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2455-sophia-mcgrath-and-the-strange-invitation/

The game has no download link, hence it is listed with 0 downloads. But the link to the game's homepage takes us to the itch page. It looks like these two have been mixed up.

It seems like Space Quest 7 Mania Episode 2 has two entries in the database:
https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2446-sq7-mania-episode-2/    (Which gives me an error message about a forbidden site)
and
https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2472-space-quest-7-mania-episode-2/   (Where the download link works fine)

[AGA]

The earlier of the two says it's a beta version.  We do sometimes end up with separate entries for a demo and its full game too.  I'll have a think about how to combine the two.

[heltenjon]

I cannot download from the earliest of the two and don't recall if I have been able to do so before. The second one is clearly also the beta - the file name is sq7mania2_betaversion.rar

[offtopic]I'm not too concerned about demos having their own entry. Frankly I just wondered if not more demos were eligible for nominations in the "Best demo" category. Those without separate entries seem to not be included in the list, and those with a demo as one of the downloading choices will be easy to overlook. Then again, I don't really know if a full release is supposed to cancel out the demo with regards to nominations. A commercial game with a polished demo could well release them simultaneously. [/offtopic]

Seems to be a duplicate.
Both AGS Databse pages of this game offer the exact same download.
Both download files have the exact same filesize and have the same upload date and time (as shown on both mediafire pages).

I've merged the two, and hidden the newer entry.

[Cassiebsg]

I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, but when I search my games on the games page, there's a game that doesn't get listed. 

https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2443-over-roger-mags-april-2020-version-/

No matter if I type Sandra or Sandra T. Almeida it only shows on the Quick list below the search box, but as as soon as I hit enter or the button to search and get my list, this game isn't listed. Which is odd. 

On another note, entering my nickname on the search, shows a bunch of game where I'm not the author, just a collaborator (like beta tester and the likes)... still the above game is also not shown.

Thanks! I wondered about that one. It shows up in search with ratings and descriptions, so perhaps it was deleted by the authors? I'm thankful there are traces, though, or else I wouldn't have known what to look for elsewhere.

Whoops, that's actually a bug.  It shouldn't be in the search results, as the game has been disabled for whatever reason (usually at the author's request).  I've fixed the bug, so it's no longer visible.

[heltenjon]

It seems that the link I gave to Indiana Jones and the Crown of Solomon (at the AGS depository) only contains the italian version of the game.

At http://www.crownofsolomon.com/downloads/ you can find all the languages, including English.

Depending on your pc's settings, you may have to go to http://web.archive.org/web/20110304144216/http://www.crownofsolomon.com/downloads/

I am trying to add the source project link to the downloads on Game DB page.
https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2553-ags-cameras-tech-demo/

I put this link into "Any other download link":
https://github.com/ivan-mogilko/ags-camdemo/archive/refs/tags/v1.0.0.zip

When I open "downloads" from the page this link is shown with some kind of "back" icon referencing link:
https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2553-ags-cameras-tech-demo/other/0/

But clicking on that results in 404 error.


EDIT: Someone already reported the broken link, so I maybe remove it for now.

[AGA]

Sorry about that, there was a gap in the rewrite logic for games with 'other' links.  Should work now.

[Crimson Wizard]

Unfortunately it still does not work, it does not show 404 page anymore, but it simply opens an empty page and stays there.

Sorry, I didn't have a page with the right download type to test my previous fix, but seems to work now!

[Crimson Wizard]

yes it works now!

Hello all,

We tried to register our game Castle Dornstein (Demo), on AGS page, via add game function, but we were not able to do that.

I got this "error" message without any actual error, haha. We tried to reupload it more times, even on more computers. No luck.

Any idea what is going on? This page appears right after I click on "submit" button.

[heltenjon]

I got a lock-up like that when I tried to upload my game with screenshots on my local drive. It worked fine when I put the images on imgur instead.

EDIT: You could perhaps also try to upload without the screenshots and try to add them later? (Then you will find out if that was the problem.)

[Thanyx]

Hi Heltenjon,

thank you for your reply. However, I'm afraid that cannot be done for two reasons.

1) You must add at least one screenshot
2) The only way to share a screenshot is through "upload from computer" function. So you can't use Imgur.

[heltenjon]

2) The only way to share a screenshot is through "upload from computer" function. So you can't use Imgur.

Well, my imgur pics for Prep Time are showing. I pasted the link into the input box, and it seemed to work, at least. Unless AGA has helped me out invisibly...

Your game is showing now, so it could be just a server hiccup. Downloading!

Hello
I have tried to add my new hame to the AGS database.  I have twice completed the form and clicked 'ADD GAME', and both times the form disappeared and nothing more happened.  I have tried searching for my new game but it is not found.  What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks,
elentgirl

[Cassiebsg]

Uhm, I just posted my game twice. Anyone can block/delete the latest entry?

The reason I did, was that after posting I got this error msg:

The file (/var/www/adventuregamestudio.co.uk/public_html/includes/gamesrss.xml) is not writable.

Game added! Redirecting in three seconds.

And then I reloaded the page...which resulted in a posting double.

Now that I´m here, how do I find the forum thread number? The url doesn't show it anymore.

I got the same error message when I disabled the entry.

Now that I´m here, how do I find the forum thread number? The url doesn't show it anymore.

I think we need the help of @AGA with that and the mysterious error message.

[AGA]

Now that I´m here, how do I find the forum thread number? The url doesn't show it anymore.

Top left of each thread, there's a button with a # symbol.  This'll give you the old-school link, like https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=58575.new#new for this one.

[Cassiebsg]

Thanks, but it doesn't seem to work.
Clicking on it does nothing, hovering the mouse over the button does nothing as well. The button "Go Down" right next to it, works just fine when I click and shows me the URL when I hover over it.

-^O^-

[Gilbert]

Actually clicking it copies the link to the clipboard, and there is no visual cue to it, so it seems to be "doing nothing".
You can press Ctrl-V to paste the link afterwards.
