This sounds very strange.
Are you sure it doesn't have to do with your problem in this thread? Any chance some of your game files may have been corrupted?
Make a backup of your game and try rebuilding all rooms (menu "Game" -> "Rebuild all room files").

Just to clarify, your interface_click function looks like this, yes?

Code: ags

#sectionstart interface_click  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function interface_click(int interface, int button) {

  if (interface == GUI12) {
     if (button == 0) {
       NewRoom (7);
     }
  }

}
#sectionend interface_click  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE

Yeah, although I haven't actually tested your code...
So hurry up with that template!

Hm, I suppose you've omitted the closing braces for posting here?
In that case, I'm afraid I'm out of ideas.

Can you please post the contents of your interface_click function?

[minus 1]

I have the view listed as a separate character as well using the setplayer character function.

I don't quite understand. Are you trying to change to another player character or are you just assigning a different view to the player character?

Please post the actual code you're using.

And remember that with AGS v2.62, the .view variable returns the character's view number minus 1, so do for example
  if (character[EGO].view == 2) { // if character EGO's view is 3

Have you tried Gilbot's suggestion from this thread?

Before it fades into oblivion, here's Eric's (MrColossal's) character template: http://kafkaskoffee.com/tutorials/walkcycletut.shtml

Ok, I didn't realize the function would have to be renamed. In that case it can probably wait.

Yeah, it's backwards compatibility -- if it wasn't renamed, and the engine was used to run an old (2.62) game, it would only push one argument to the function, and mess the stack up.

I just think PlaySoundEx isn't a terribly intuitive name. Seeing as we have a tracker entry about PlaySoundChannel anyway, how about renaming PlaySoundEx to PlaySoundChannel and, since optional parameters are possible, be able to add the vol, x, y and loop parameters at a later time?
Or would that pose the same backwards compatibility problem?

My pleasure.

I think a passage about enums and optional parameters would be nice.

First of all, download the latest stable version of AGS, v2.62 and try that.

Some other games with source that that come to mind are Airbreak, Exile and Keptosh.

Hehe, 6 hours from suggestion to implementation...must be a new record.

Yes there is a .dta, but when I load it into AGS it says that there is a file missing, and that AGS might not be able to load it properly...

That's because BC was made using the agsCreditz plugin. When you test the game, it can't find the functions provided by the plugin and crashes. Why it would crash and not give an error message, I don't know.
Anyway, copy the agsCreditz.dll file from executable.zip to your AGS editor directory and the Compiled folder of the game.

Please read my whole post. Thank you.

* Added AGS_MAX_* constants to allow you to check the AGS limits in your script (see Constants section in the manual).

Cool, very helpful!
Won't you be able to use the constants yourself for the internal header? Should save you some work, too, no?

* Fixed compiler crash if a single array or struct was bigger than 32KB.

Whee, my script now works like a charm. Thanks a lot, CJ!

AGS Beginners FAQ

Please read the whole Beginner's FAQ before posting questions. Thank you.

Yes, I know about GetGameParameter.
I think the defines would mostly be used for array declarations, for example, to be able to add stuff to characters/objects/... that, unlike custom properties, can be changed at run-time.

- characters

Useful for declaring the character array I use for my CCS script.

- inventory items

Ok, I see there's MAX_INV already. And there's no GetGameParameter entry for that one.

- GUIs

Code: ags

short WasGUIOn[AGS_MAXGUIS]; // stores old gui status

I have two functions that I use to see which GUIs are currently shown, store if they are on/off, turn all GUIs off, and later be able to turn on only the ones that were turned on before the reason I wanted to turn everything off.

- views

I'm playing around with using additional frame sounds with the CCS system, so I needed this at one point. Can't think of another example offhand.

Personally, I could use these right now:

- characters
- inventory items
- GUIs
- views

I also think that

- objects per room
- loops per view
- frames in each loop

could come in handy.

OH YES! I second that!
