Monster-ious, xBranex

Great stuff, Mehrdad. What engine do you use?

Sweet!

Thanx for looking into this.

The only thing I could improve at the moment is that I actually found why the program memory exception occured, and instead making it detect a wrong data error and stop loading before it does any more damage to program. So, it will still report about error, but at least that should be relatively safer now.

Glad to see it was of some use for you after-all

TBH I cannot imagine any particular cause right now, except for a glitch in the filesystem that returned zero file length... if that may even happen. Unless you created over 2GB room file somehow, which I doubt is possible.

No, I haven't indeed. My rooms usually stay below 1mb

Maybe if you could remember what happened just before room became corrupt.

I truly have no idea. I haven't touched that project for over a year...
It's almost unlikely to me, but one scenario that comes to my mind is that maybe I opened this project once (more then a year ago) with an alpha or beta version of ags, which might have caused this room to becoming corrupt?
Once again, unlikely. Definitely if I'm the only person having this issue so far.

Thank you again for looking into this and providing info.
I will import the room from the old build, as you suggested.

Great entry, Tabby!

Wow, the entries for this contest are amazing! I'm looking forward to seeing the full totem pole at the end!

Fully agreed!

Maybe the OnClick event in the GUI properties is empty or pointing wrong?

Nice piece, AnasAbdin.
Absolutely love these 3 tiny meters (are they called that way?) at the leftside

Just set a view as speechview:

Code: ags

cEgo.SpeechView = 10;

And there is speech text

I was glad to see the subtitles were auto-activated

I've sent you a pm.

As I prefer not to share this project publicly, can I PM you or someone the ftp-url?

Yes, although I cannot say when I will have time to look into this, may not happen fast.

Not a problem at all.
I can always try to import the room from the older backup and otherwise create the room again.
Just hope someone can find out what is wrong with this specific room...

BTW, I think you may need to upload only one room file (CRM + ASC), because its possible to import rooms into dummy projects to test them.
(Not sure if the error will be persisting though)

I've also included a small zip with only both room files from both backups.

I also used the [Send Error Report] option this time for both situations (report 1 = edit room 93, report 2 is compiling project), maybe it provides some extra info.

This is actually same error in both cases, room is loaded before recompiling scripts I think.

Ah, you're right


Thanx!

Nice!

One minor thing: somehow for me this voice was very hard to understand.
It's pitched up I guess?

I've uploaded this version plus 2 backups which were made in (most probably) v3.3.4.

[When trying to edit room 39:]

AGS version: v3.4.0.16
Action: I (try to) edit room 39, or compile the project
Problem: an Unhandled Error/ System.AccessViolationException message is shown.
(after restarting the editor and trying to edit the room or compile the project gives the same problem)
Note: the project was made in an older (probably 3.3.x) version of AGS.

Great entries, Rocchinator & selmiak!

And a Happy Belated BD to Blackthorne, Cuiki, Matti, Danvzare, Aprilskies & Wyz

Happy StuDay!!

Thanx, Danvzare

Curious to see what other ideas get realized into a CB entry 

Great work, Eric!

I want to slot this in to my PC to see what happens!

Yeh about that, I forgot the warranty notification:

• Do not attempt to install if drunk, pregnant, or both.
• Do not eat, not a toy.
• Not dishwasher safe.
• Do not iron.
