I need some help with this code.  I've used the above code and most of the time it works.  There are occasions when I come back from the Save and the music is no longer playing.  What am I missing?

I am at the very end of my game called Haunting at Cliffhouse.  You can read about it here:  http://mysterymanor.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15=8242

I need one voiceover which is a young female with a slight Japanese accent. Her line is, "Please father, forgive me. I will do anything you wish but please don't send me away."

Please send me a PM if you can help out.

I am getting ready to go commercial with my game and I want to make sure I don't break any rules.  I've read everything on this site about producing a game commercially and since I haven't altered any of the code or libraries, it looks like the only thing I need to put in the credits is this page.  As far as the licensing goes, as long as I haven't changed anything it will be included in the Credits.htm page.  Am I correct on all this?  Oh yeah, all sound and video is OGG.

Are you saying replace

RestoreGameSlot(savegameindex[index]);

with

RestoreGameSlot(partidas.SaveGameSlots[index]);

I don't see where a "savegameindex' is being defined or initialized.  When I tried to add one, I got an error.  Here is the code from the globabl script.

It is happening on numerous saves.  For example purposes, I load a save that takes me to the boathouse, the ocean music is playing.  I load a save that takes me inside the house at night, the ocean music is playing.  I load a save in the forest, the ocean music is playing.

The ocean music is defined in the Global Variables as an AudioChannel*, but it is not the first Global AudioChannel.

I can consistently recreate this.

I loaded up a save today, and while it took me to the correct place, the wrong music was playing.  How can this happen?

I can only restore back into the game, the last 20 saves.  It I select save 21 or any save greater than the 20th save, I get this message.

Error: Error running function 'restoregame_Click'
Error: Array index out of bounds(index 21, bounds:0..19)

This is the area in the script the error is pointing to.  Anyone see where the problem is?

function restoregame_Click(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button) {
aSound11.Play();
if(partidas.ItemCount!=0){ 
int index = partidas.SelectedIndex;
RestoreGameSlot(savegameindex[index]);
  partidas.FillSaveGameList();
  savegame.Enabled=true;
  guardar.Enabled=true;
  cerrar.Enabled=true;
  SetGameOption(OPT_WHENGUIDISABLED, 2);
  }else {
  gSavemsg.Visible=true;
  savemsglbl.TextColor = 65296;
  savemsglbl.Text = ("There is no game to load");
  Wait(80);
  gSavemsg.Visible=false; }

Okay, got the right one, installed it and the got the file converted.  Cutscene is working great.  Thanks for your patience.

The video version does not write out to OGG.  From the website:

Write: HD Video (inc. Blu-ray video, MPEG-2 HD and WMV HD), AVI (DivX, Xvid, etc.), MP4 (inc. Sony PSP, Apple iPod and Archos), WMV, 3GP, 3G2, QuickTime (MOV, QT), SWF, FLV, F4V, DVD, MPEG-1, 2, 4, MPG, MJPEG, H.263, H.264, MKV, MPEG1 DPG, AMV, MTV, GIF, TS, M2TS.

The audio version will write out to OGG, but it won't read video files.

I also get a "non-activated version"  message when it opens up.  When I go to register, it is requesting a payment.  Either I am doing something really wrong, or they changed it since you downloaded it.

I tried that one, based on another post I saw here, and it didn't have the OGG format.

Okay.

Anyone know of a free program that converts WMV to OGV?

That was it.  Thanks.

Which file format is better to use?  AVI or OGV, with a commercial game?

I am trying to create an end cutscene.  I am using PlayVideo:

PlayVideo(endcutscene.OGV, eVideoSkipNotAllowed,  10);

I've tried the video in the compiled folder and in the main folder and both times get "undefined symbol" referring to the file name.

What am I doing wrong?

Also, does anyone know of a free program that converts WMV to OGV?

Not sure what you mean Arj0n.  I commented out that area for now since it doesn't get executed until the puzzle is completed.

So the puzzle seems to be reacting the same way as before.  Sometimes it recognizes the match and sometimes it doesn't.  If you get all good matches it works, but if you mess up and click a wrong match then it seems to get confused.

Plus, I get this error:

Error: Error running function  'room_RepExec'
Error: Script appears to be hung ( a while loop 150001 times).  The problem may be in calling a function; check the call stack.

Getting an "undefined token" error on 'SetMasksVisibility' when it is doing this part of the code:

SetMasksVisiblity(true);

I can't get to test this tonight but I will by tomorrow.  I am sure I'll have some questions.

The code looks a lot cleaner and I can slap myself in the forehead because I should have gotten "graphic1 = oMask0.Graphic;"

Here are two screenshots (in game play):

Here is the Link:

http://codetidy.com/897/

The script will keep track whether it is a first click or the second click.  The first click sets the graphic that it has to match.  If it finds its match, then click 1 and click2 will clear out.  If it doesn't match, then click1 should be the starting graphic again.

I created this puzzle where there are 15 different masks (like a masquerade ball mask) and you have to click on two identical masks to make a pair.  These objects/masks will change their graphic based on a timer, some going faster than others.  So the masks are constantly flipping their graphic on the screen and you have to click on them in time.  It seems sometimes it works and and sometimes it doesn't.  Maybe the click happens during the graphic change or my script is wrong.  I was wondering if someone can look at it and see what I am doing wrong.  

I can't post the script here because it exceeded the allotted amount of characters.
