I've noticed not using braces in a multi-line condition gives errors. In case that would've been the problem, the fix at it's simplest form would be (in addition to the wrong captalization of the character script name):

if (player.HasInventory(iKey)) cGuyAtSchool.Say("You will understand...in time");

But if that doesn't work for a reason or another, then it's

if (player.HasInventory(iKey)) {
  cGuyAtSchool.Say("You will understand...in time");
} else {

as said before.

Video and digital music don't get built into the exe, so they are clearly not the problem. Do you use sound effects? What resolution is the game? Higher resolution means more space consumption obviously and a lot of (uncompressed) audio hogs space. Have you tried compressing the exe, does its size go down?

3: AGS messes this folder up with savegames: When I checked my "My Documents" folder I found savegames in there with their folders from games that I already had changed or uninstalled several months before.

This and what Snarky said above is why and what I've suggested ages ago: Host all AGS saved games folders under one folder inside My Documents, not in the root of My Documents. Many games already use the "My Games" folder to store their data. Put them there. Or under My Games\AGS. Or under My AGS Games. Or something like that.

Mittens in Europe again and another Finn on the way, I'd definitely be there given I'll get rich by then. Which will hopefully happen.

Either location's fine, I haven't been anywhere so I'll gladly go see what places are like on that account.

On the shapes over symbols matter, my intuintion says the symbols are easier, but thinking about it I can't decide on which one's better. So I'll still go with the symbols.

Haddas, that seems like only four different colours. So no

Just to clear something up, I'm monochromatic. Thus I can tell red and green apart. You and your confusing term that is colourblind. In Finnish we have it's own term for the unability to tell red/green apart.

The two middle ones look somewhat too alike. Distiguishable, but I'd say too near each other for comfort. The rest are ok.

If it's midi files and they are in the correct folder rebuilding the game itself should update them automatically into the new exe.

A lot more as in? Above and below or on the sides? Do you have the "Use letterbox mode" option enabled which makes black bars above and below the game image. In the second case it'd seem your monitor's and game's aspect ratios are different and the aspect ratio is maintained.

If you're using digital music you may need to rebuild the music.vox file, with the "Rebuild all files" option found under the Build menu.

I'd suspect your MIDI volume is down to zero. Since it doesn't give errors I wouldn't doubt any problems with actually playing them per se.

Which operating system are you using?

In XP at least, open the system mixer, and if you can't see Software synthetisizer or MIDI synth or something like this in the list of sliders open properties and tick the box in front of it and click OK to see it. Also do you use WMP by chance? Some older version of it had a nasty habit of setting MIDI volume to 0 after playing MIDI files.

I can't say about Vista, but I suspect it's similiarly arranged.

There's a brace or several missing from the function before that one.

I have a subfolder of its own under my downloaded torrents folder for the .torrent files themselves, just so I know where they all are in case I might for a reason or another need the .torrent file itself later. And as they're really rather small there's no harm in having them at hand.

What are you people's operating systems? Running Vista with UAC turned on might prevent AGS from creating the save files under the game's directory if that's where AGS tries to put it.

If it was me writing I'd put either three dots or a dash in. None of the above seem wrong to me, some just less fitting than others.

I've been taught a fun -- not too correct I suppose, but still fun in a way -- rule for commas. Probably applies mostly if you've been taught Finnish comma rules first, but still: "If you feel like there should be a comma, there shouldn't and if you think there shouldn't be a comma there probably should."

Commas are one of the few things I don't remember the real rules for.

Nope, don't ring a bell. Go away

Take your average home user consumer who knows enough about computers to power one up and open The Internet. Now if said customer hears they can make their own Media CDs and DVDs to use in their home media player device thing, and they hear said possibility exists with this program called Windows Media Player. What would stop them from burning all the random stuff they can find on a disc and then calling Microsoft that the DVD doesn't play in their DVD player, if not the program used to create the disc?

It's rather logical to me. I see the it being stupid and annoying side of the coin, but I also see this customer-friendly approach to it. And the OS does burning natively anyway.

Also, WMP12 is actually ok. A few hicks but mostly it's rather useful and efficient, in my opinion.

This doesn't quite qualify for insane, but somewhat odd and unfortunate. Had a fun night out with a friend, spent a lot of time in some nice bars and had a great time generally, then on the way to his place where I was crashing we got some food off the grill. Next morning, I woke up in my bed, remembering the night before up to the very vague image of us stumbling towards the front door with the food in transit. Reports say I ate it and went to bed. The only thing I'm not happy with is I know the food from that grill was rather excellent, but I don't remember eating it.

I was at Sauna Open Air which was fun, though not as much fun as last year. Not my top favourite bands but a lot of good ones and fun company. Identify the cult person?
