Quote from: Crimson Wizard on Fri 14/02/2014 13:39:26OK, but I suppose using $SAVEGAME$ allows me to write to "Documents\Saved games" or whatever -- so it should work?
They will fail if game is installed on system disk (usually C)
Quote from: Crimson Wizard on Fri 14/02/2014 13:39:26Is that common practice, or is it totally unreasonable?
unless game is run with administrator rights.

The video didn't loaded for me as well, but other videos did.

I did export GUIs every now and then since back in 2.72 days. The code always was exported too, and when importing, placed in GlobalScript. Hope that helps
// 1) Create your very own module
// 2) Create your very own Gui, with any kind of control. For example:
// - a label called "MyLabel". You want to track the clicks on that one
// - another label called "StatusLine" where you want displayed the control being hovered
// 3) In your module's initialization, add this :
// StandaloneClick.RegisterControl(MyLabel, "this text will appear when the label is hovered");
// 4) In your module's repeatedly_execute_always(), add this:
// if (StandaloneClick.ClickDetected(eMouseLeft)) {
// GUIControl* c = StandaloneClick.GetClick(eMouseLeft);
// if (c==MyLabel)
// Display("you clicked on MyLabel with the left mouse button");
// }
//
// StatusLine.Text = StandaloneClick.GetHoveredText();
//
// 5) Run the game. Click on your label, and move your mouse over it.

Yes; we became aware of that shortly after the game's release, and have fixed it in v1.1 (which is now available). The newest build has, to our knowledge, no deadlocks or walking dead situations.
(note that telling Regin you won't do his quest won't turn him off; he'll believe and outright say that you'll probably do it anyway, and indeed you can)

The font height is calculated as the height of "YpyjIHgMNWQ".
[color=green]// AGS does not provide the height (in pixels) of a listbox row.
// The height depends purely on the font's height.
// Yet, one cannot access that info either, using scripting only
// (even with GetTextHeight, because you'd need to know in advance the height
// of the tallest character in the entire font, I suppose).
// Hence, this function. It's a MASSIVE HACK
//
// IMPORTANT NOTE: this function can make the game crash because of a bug in AGS' ListBox
// coding. See http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=48793.msg636466821#msg636466821
// To work around this, you must never call this function before the ListBox has been
// painted at least once.
// This function works with a struct similar to this :
// struct ExtendedListboxType {
// ListBox* Box;
// int rowHeight
// };
//
// ExtendedListboxType TextAreas[10];
//
[/color]
int TextAreaType::GetRowHeight()
{
if (this.rowHeight!=0) //We do it only once, but it must be done after game_start
//or more generally after the box's first painting
return this.rowHeight;
else
{
ListBox* b = this.Box; //for convenience
b.Clear();
b.AddItem("0000000000000000000000000000000");
b.AddItem("1111111111111111111111111111111");
int i=0;
int start_x=b.X+b.OwningGUI.X+1;
int start_y=b.Y+b.OwningGUI.Y;
int lastItem;
lastItem=b.GetItemAtLocation(start_x, start_y+i);
while (i<30) //we assume the characters are not higher than 30 pix high
{
int item = b.GetItemAtLocation(start_x, start_y+i);
if (lastItem != item && item != -1)
{
b.Clear();
this.rowHeight = i;
return i;
}
lastItem=item;
i++;
}
Display("WARNING: could not find height of text area rows. The cursor might be off, or maybe your font is taller than 30 pixels?");
b.Clear();
this.rowHeight = 10; //arbitrary value
return this.rowHeight;
