Well, this same question was asked by the same person at almost exactly 9 years ago but then it got forgotten.

Don't get me wrong, as I actually do want animations and stuff to continue working even when the entity is invisible, as the current behaviour made what I was trying to do at that time complicated to implement(as shown in my reply a few posts below). Maybe we can reconsider this niw.

Actually, even the recent "tablet" is only some kind of casual name, in case of ambiguity you still need to call it formally by like "tablet PC" or "tablet computer", so the drawing tablet (I think it's sometimes also called a digitiser) can still be nicked just "tablet" when there is no ambiguity. You know, the word tablet actually has A LOT OF meanings (including those drugs you take), right? This is similar to how we often call a laptop computer a "notebook", but we all know what a notebook actually is.

No 3D was involved in the making.

So it's made with paper cutouts?
It must be Paper Mario: The Movie!

expierence3

The code is giving me headache . I've tried searching for this expierence3 in your posted codes but it's not found, only to realise that, after digging into the codes a bit, it's spelt expierance3 instead. So, please check also whether the spellings of the variables match, in case there are two different variables having similar names.

BTW, the correct spelling should be experience.

QFG2?

The DX5 renderer should remain, unless we are going to abandon 8-bit modes (which is the proper time I abandon AGS). AFAIK D3D9 doesn't work with 8-bit modes, unless it's changed recently.

Since you no longer use V1.17 now, I'll lock this thread.

Do post in the proper thread if you still encounter problems in the future:
Module version
Plugin version

And if you don't know already, these two are different things. V2.0 of the plugin is actually even older than V1.19 of the module.

BTW, the most recent version of the module is v1.19. Is there reason to use an older version? I think there are some bugs fixed in the newest version and that it's more compatible with the new scripting method, so there should be fewer problems, as you're using a fairly new version of AGS already.

P.S. Questions regarding a particular module or plugin are best asked in its respective thread in the 
Modules & Plugins section. I have thought of moving this thread there and merge with the module's thread, but since this thread is about a particular (former) version of the module I decided to leave it here at the moment. If you eventually decided to move on and use V1.19 instead, do post in that other thread if you still encounter problems, and I will lock this thread.

It must either be
Duck Runner
or
The Duck Knight

In his description it was Ban Jordan though.

I've just checked the web interface of Drive, and there is actually an option that when turned on, will convert your stuff to Google doc format after upload. (It is in the 'settings' at the upper-left corner of the "uploading file" pop-up pane, or the "upload setting" item in the config menu on the upper-right of the page.) I think by default it's disabled, but if for some reasons it's previously turned on, it will "smartly" convert whatever you upload whenever it thinks it's possible. I've tried uploading an .asc file with this turned on, and the horrible outcome was that the file had become a "Google doc" file (so that it could be "conveniently" edited with their online editor), and it even lost its extension so you just scratch your head and guess what it originally was, and it now only has a "Download as..." action to "powerfully" convert it to any of the supported format and download it. This is just offensive IMO.

So, either turn this setting off, or, unless you want to preview the contents online, you better zip the files before uploading for maximum safety.

I think Google Drive sometimes thinks it's smart (which it obviously isn't), that it could detect popular document formats such as text documents, powerpoints and image files, so that it can preview such files and convert them on the fly and download them as a different format (such as downloading a Word document into a PDF file). IMO the preview feature is okay, but the convert feature is really unwanted.

For safety, to avoid unwanted conversions, it's advised to ZIP the files before uploading to Drive.

This is already tried though.

and I tried both renderers with similar results.

Just try KhrisMUC's suggestions, including toggling between fullscreen and windowed mode and see whether this is the problem. Also, if applicable, dis/enabling the O/S's graphical enhancements such as AERO may make a difference. You may even try to run the game in XP-compatibility mode.

You may use SetScreenTransition() or SetNextScreenTransition() for this.
For your case I think SetNextScreenTransition() is probably a better choice.
Just before you need to change to the room with the phone, use:

Code: ags

SetNextScreenTransition(eTransitionInstant);
