But I don't know what OS you have (I assume Crimson has XP because it is 'My' Documents)

Huh, no, I was talking about Vista, it's just that memorized that "My Documents" from earlier Win versions I used for so many years
Actual path was like:

C:\Users\Иван\Documents\AGS\MyGame (or whatever).

By the way, I tried starting the game on another machine that has XP installed (reproducing similar condition), and I got absolutely same error.

Well, "Иван" for instance (that's my user name in Windows), or "Мои документы" (= My Documents). I just do not know if copying this from forum thread to your machine will keep these characters as they are.

I guess there's a slight mistake in how GetTextHeight calculates number of lines needed for a text.

For example, if you write this:

int width = GetTextWidth(Text, Font);
int height = GetTextHeight(Text, Font, width); // here we use actual width of text as a width limit

- in this case value calculated will be equal to height of 2 lines, while there obviously should be 1 line.

If you make width limit 1 pixel larger it gives correct result:

int height = GetTextHeight(Text, Font, width + 1);

Also, I suggest to implement another function (unless it is already implemented and I am just not aware of it) that returns simply Font Height, that is if you wish to know a height of single line of text.

Looks like this is not needed; I investigated problem futher and finally managed to detect reason of the problem. It appears that this only happens when the path to compiled game includes non-latin characters.
That is, if path has only strict latin characters it works and play music normally, but if there's some folder named in other (cyrillic in my case) it crashes. This does not depend on game (I tried creating new game from Default template) and on music type (tried different mp3s, oggs, wavs).

Also, I think this did not happen in AGS 3.0.

It crashes anytime music from vox package is about to play. I tried both setting startup room music or playing music from room script after some delay, same results. It only works if I put MP3 file into Compiled folder and pay it using PlayMP3File function.

I met this bug in script editor only once and could not reproduce it no matter how long I tried.
Bug does not cause any crash nor annoyance though.

Error message I got:

Error: Значение StartIndex не может быть меньше нуля.
Имя параметра: startIndex
Version: AGS 3.1.1.67

As you may notice, there are cyrillics there, perhaps because it uses some predefined system error text. I decided to leave it as is in sake of message authentity , but in english that means following (approximate translation):

Error: Value of StartIndex cannot be less than zero.
Name of parameter: startIndex

Now, I did I get this error... it's interesting question. I was thinking of something and unintentionally dragging mouse over script text. When I selected all the text in editor window this bug happened. Since no crash occured I decided to check what could cause it and finally realized that this error message occurs when I place mouse cursor over function word in the first function definition in the script. It did not happen when I put cursor over function word anywhere else. When I cancelled selection I did earlier error was still happening each time I put cursor there.
After I closed script editor and opened it again, I could not reproduce this anymore.

Good time of the day to everyone.
I met this problem when launching my game in compiled form with digital music, game crashes and following error message appears:

---------------------------
Illegal exception
---------------------------
An exception 0xC0000005 occurred in ACWIN.EXE at EIP = 0x004623C0 ; program pointer is +207, ACI version 3.11.1057, gtags (0,1)

It does not happen when I run game in debug mode, and since I believe it uses raw music files then, this all happens only when music package (*.vox) is being used.
Digital music consist of couple of MP3 files. I am using Windows Vista 32bit.
I do not know what else information I need to report; error message noted I may be asked to upload crash dump file, I have one, but currently I do not see the way I can upload it
