Hello,

I'm creating a new Save/Load GUI with screenshots.
Since I haven't created one before, I looked for a good tutorial, and found this one:
http://www.twin-design.com/agsezine/9/tutorial.cfm
(this is Scripting Tutorial By Andrew McCormack)

It says the tutorial will present how to make a load/save game dialog that uses the new "save games with screenshots" feature of AGS v2.6 onward.

Well... I'm using AGS 2.7, I did the tutorial step-by-step, but when I save the game, the compiler stops with message "undefined symbol LoadSaveSlotScreenshot'":

Code: ags

function sgs_getslots()
{
int i=1;
while(i<=6) 
	{
	if (GetSaveSlotDescription(i, sgs_struct[i].t)) 
		{
		sgs_struct[i].spr=LoadSaveSlotScreenshot(i, SGS_WIDTH, SGS_HEIGHT);
		} 
	else
		{
		StrCopy(sgs_struct[i].t, "");
		sgs_struct[i].spr=SGS_EMPTY_SPRITE;
		}
	SetLabelText(SAVELOAD, 6+i, sgs_struct[i].t); 
	SetLabelColor(SAVELOAD, 6+i, SGS_LABEL_COLOUR); 
	SetButtonPic(SAVELOAD, i, 1, sgs_struct[i].spr);
	i=i+1;
	}
Wait(1); 
SaveGameSlot(100, "temp"); 
sgs_struct[0].spr=LoadSaveSlotScreenshot(100, SGS_WIDTH, SGS_HEIGHT); 
DeleteSaveSlot(100); 
}

Well, the help file says that LoadSaveSlotScreenshot is obsolete, and suggests to use DynamicSprite.CreateFromSaveGame

I tried, but with no success. I changed the int to DynamicSprite*, but it doesn't compile.

Can someone clarify the concepts?
I think the tutorial is very very good, maybe it could be more useful fix the tutorial to make it compatible with AGS 2.7

Thank you.
