Right click in the plugin dll you downloaded and check if there is a checkbox to unblock it.

My guess despite the different message is you are having Windows Zone Identifier problems (the link is to the manual page about it)

You right-click the plugin, then select properties, then there is a checkbox labelled "Unblock"

Trying to recompile a game made for a fork of the engine I made that I really, really don't want to update, due to lots of hacky stuff.
Turned out I didn't need the plugin.

Is there a version that works with AGS 3.2.1? I'm trying to compile a very old game.

I would love sprite files to be able to be stored separately. Unavowed has a 1.5gb sprite file and it needs to be uploaded in its entirety every time I change one sprite!

OK the solution is to not use the SDL2.dll provided.

Use the 32-bit version from here:

Yep, I'm getting the same error as Aaron.  "error loading plugin 'agscontroller.dll', it may depend on another DLL that is missing."

Was this ever resolved? I'm getting the same error. I'm using AGS 3.4.1 Patch 3.

Ooh, I just noticed someone having the very same issue.

But that's completely different problem? Maybe there's some kind of misunderstanding here.

I think it was the same problem. The solution mentioned by Chicky in post 7 worked (we think)

Thanks Crimson Wizard! Good to know this won't be a problem in the future.

The game we are compiling is Unavowed

The solution was:

I tested eriOo's hypothesis as suggested by tzachs and it has resolved the issue. In windows 10 I right clicked the game's exe, clicked Properties, clicked the compatibility tab then 'Change high DPI settings', ticked the box for 'Override high DPI scaling behaviour' and set the drop down 'Scaling performed by:' to Application.

Sorry about the duplicate thread!

We recompiled one of our games, and when you run the winsetup.exe program, the "Desktop resolution" option is missing from the list of possible resolutions. Any ideas why this might be?

When we run it from the original folder, the "Desktop resolution" option is there, but when we move the game to another folder, it vanishes!

We are using v3.4.1.14

Well, we got our devkit now! Wish me luck, I'm unzipping the Switch code libraries...

I'm really thinking seriously of doing this right now. Does anyone know if having a private fork of AGS would be OK, given the license? Nintendo code can't be put into open source projects or revealed on pain of pain, so we wouldn't be able to share it.

Is the AGS Android port used in any commercial games?

I'm thinking that with a combo of Nick Sonneveld's implementation of AGS to SDL and Ryan C. Gordon's port of SDL to Switch, this would be highly feasible. Dave is trying to get in contact with Nintendo to see if they will let us buy a devkit.

People keep asking us to port Unavowed to Switch. I currently have a day job so I can't do this myself. Does anyone know of any good porting guys who will port AGS with respect for its open source status so others can use the port and we can keep it updated?

This is probably a stupid question - but which URL directs me to the latest copy of the iOS libraries?
https://github.com/JanetGilbert/ags/tree/main/iOS/buildlibs
https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/tree/master/iOS

Would seem to the second one, but it's hard to know which one is more modern.

Which one works for an iPhone 7/8?
Which one *doesn't* require a jailbroken phone?

My most recent version of the code is the following branch:

https://github.com/JanetGilbert/ags/tree/ios-technobabylon

Used for releasing our most recent iOS game, Technobabylon. I recommend using this if you want to release a game.

I don't know what state
https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/tree/master/iOS
currently is in, whether it can be compiled for App store or not.

Hi, I'm playing a beta version of Unavowed under this build. If I run it under OpenGL mode, tinting doesn't work. I'm running Windows 10 on a Macbook Pro via Parallels, but I'm not sure that the emulation is the problem - it never has been before.

We know about Git LFS and Dropbox and use both. But it would be much nicer if the sprites were stored as individual files like the sound files are. At the moment "Unavowed" has a sprite file that is several gigabytes in size and stresses even LFS.

The other unmergeable binaries, like room files, are also a small problem too because Dave & I have to be very sure that only one of us is using them! But that's not nearly as much of a problem as the enormous sprite file.

It's currently really hard to keep AGS projects in source control, due mainly to the enormous size that acsprset.spr can grow to in any large projects. Could the sprite image sources be kept as links to separate image files on disk, as with the sound files?

I tried this and I found it to be pretty much impossible due to not every important parameter being both read and write.
