Hi,

having just set up win7 and installed correct graphics drivers I now have another issue.

After compiling the game and running from setup the win7 window seems to go 8 bit, goes black and then runs the game. The game plays ok.

This is a niggling issue.

If you do come back AGS will no doubt be nuclear fused by then

Call back soon

After a disastrous start with Win7 JACK is now back on course.

It seems win7 did not recognize on-board graphics display adapter (showed standard vga adapter) but I managed to find out what the display adapter was (SiS Mirage 3), download drivers, installed them and now full screen display perfect...

Problem solved

[EDIT]

Hi

yes, i downloaded  DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer.

Tried Installed it. Says newer version detected,

Game in full window shows game window outline box but screen black..

I do not get any messages except if trying to use d3d / filters.

EDIT I managed to find out on the motherboard what the display adapter was: it was SiS Mirage. I got hold of SiS Mirage display drivers, installed them 'update driver' and the standard VGA is now Sis Mirage and the game runs full screen.

DD,D3D and AGP texture now all enabled..

I've lost 3 days work, what the hell... rock on tommy...

Happy days.. well, so far

Thanks dave,

but that fails to work as well..

Hi

I am having problems running games in full screen though it is ok in preview window.

I am using win7.

I am trying to run 800 x 600 16 color.

my graphics adapter states standard vga and neither dd or d3d work for full screen and are shown not available in dxdiag.

Have you come across this and did you manage to sort it?

Cheers

Hi Crimson,

changing windows from 32 to 16 seems to work and the game runs, though i have not fully tested it yet.

Thumbs up Crimson

Cheers for your help

Hopefully I can get back to work on the game.

EDIT: It only seems to run in preview mode.. Why does it not work in fill screen?

Come back WinXP...

Dx11 already installed and will not install dx 9.

it seem dx11 comes with win7 and can't be deleted.

Hi Crimson

DXDiag indicates DX11

I have dowmloaded DX 9.. Now what?

cheers

Hi,

I copied game files (from win XP) to my win7 computer. Installed 3.2.1 which is what i made it with.

I eventually got all the objects to show their sprites but after compiling the game will not run and just shows black window.

It was made with directdraw in mind. It is 800 x 600 16 color.

Any ideas to get the game back up and running as before?

cheers

Hi

The time has come to find a replacement for my old, yet once very loyal, Win XP computer which is slowly dying.

If I go for a Win 7 computer what should i look out for and what should I expect regarding AGS?

Cheers

Is this not over complicating a fairly simple issue?

There is always a way of doing something if you think about it and have the knowledge..

AGS is a vehicle that you can customize to suit.

Think about what you are trying to achieve. Then think about how are you going to achieve it.

Keep trying

Hi,

would this be a predefined walking of free walking?

One 'free walking' way is to use a region and use Lockview with the animation when walking onto the region just before left loop (1) kicks in so the character is still loop up (3) when animation finishes.


With a predefined walking it's easier to set up.

Hope this helps.

To delete a Hotspot:
Select Hotspot from the Show this room's: (Dropdown menu at the top of the editor window.)
Go to the Hotspot events pane and select 0 (eraser) and use the fill tool and fill in the area to delete the Hotspot you want deleted.

To have character responses:
When interacting with any player character you use that characters events panel properties to add: Look, Talk, Interact etc  etc responses.

Sometimes Chrome asks if you want to keep or discard the downloaded file as it sees it as suspicious.

Hi

whenever downloading a game from other that 'reputable' sites always be prepared for crap... It can / does happen. They generally attach spam or other annoying stuff to the download you won't be aware of at the time and it will probably self extract on downloading and infect your computer.

Caution is paramount.

Hi,

It may depend on what exactly you want copied and how you want to paste it and if its more than one block of text.
