Howdy!

I apologize if this is covered somewhere standard, but the manual appeared to list some supported formats, but didn't appear to have any information about sample rates etc. (which I think might be the problem?).

So, short version: when I import a .WAV of my original music, the file imports but the preview says 0:00/0:00 and plays a garbled noise for a split-second when I press play.

I have tried with .MP3 versions of different original compositions and they seem to work fine.

I'm thinking the obvious short-term fix is to use .MP3 versions of everything (or maybe .OGG if I'm re-exporting anyway), but I wondered if there was a guide or resource somewhere that could help me work out the .WAV problem.

Thanks!

Thanks! You just opened up a lot here for me.

I'll definitely look into the functions available in the BASS template. Sounds like it will make my life a lot easier on future projects.

I've learned a lot about programming over the years so picking up this project I abandoned years ago sometimes feels like it was handed to me by a random stranger! 

Thanks!

So, I'm using the BASS template I believe (left click interact, right click look). Any idea where would be an appropriate place to make the call?

(I'm assuming there isn't a way to set up an event like I would for a button click. Would I want to call this from the click event that opens the restore GUI?)

Hi! I'm having a little trouble with the following function - it doesn't appear to be called anywhere?

Code: ags

function show_restore_game_dialog()
{
  System.Log(eLogInfo,  "Showing restore dialog.");
  lstRestoreGamesList.FillSaveGameList();
  open_gui(gRestoreGame);
}

I'm using the default Save/Restore GUIs, and I noticed that when I save everything appears to work as expected, but when I open the restore GUI, no save file is listed. My understanding was that the above function is what populates the list in the restore GUI, so I put the LogInfo line in there to see when the function was called. It appears it never is.

I started this project years ago and am just coming back to it recently, so I'm not 100% sure what I did when I set it up, but I'm quite sure I didn't do anything specifically with the save/restore functionality. I'm using the default gSaveGame and gRestoreGame GUIs, so I figured "show_restore_game_dialog()" would be called when they open? I thought maybe there was an event for "on open" or something, but can't find such a thing.

Would love a nudge in the right direction. 

This is adorable!

Hi not sure if this is the right place to mention this, but when I'm on the site www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/play/search/ any of the games I click on bring me to a blank page (each with a path like /play/game/1234/).

I'm not sure if this is the "new site" or if I'm looking in the wrong place.

Anyway seems to be a 100% reproduction rate. I'm using Edge, haven't tested with other browsers.

Boy do I feel silly.

Thanks!

Anyone know why "FONTEDIT.zip can't be downloaded securely"?

I get this message both from the link in this thread, and the link from the wiki.

Thanks, Khris!

It was line 242 in the version I have, but getting rid of that line in the TwoClickHandler script seems to have done the trick!

Hello!

I am working with the BASS template, and would like to have an inventory GUI displayed at all times.

However, when I set the GUI to "always shown" it is only shown briefly when the room is loaded, and disappears again. It does display when the mouse cursor crosses a y-coordinate around the top fifth of the screen.

I was led to understand from this post that the issue probably lies in the BASS template script. I was hoping that someone might be able to point me to the specific section of code that's overriding the "always shown" and forcing the hover-to-show behaviour.

Thanks!

Not knowing the exact limitation of AGS, I can't say for sure. But it's likely possible.

I'd recommend looking at a different program, though. GameMaker could probably do it with less hassle, but then you'd probably have to learn some GML.

Okay, so I have a door 'object' which I have made an opening animation for. It plays fine.
My problem is that when the door is closed and the player walks near it, the door is drawn over-top of the player. I would like it to be the other way around, so that the player appears to be in front of the door. Is there something I can script for this? (Or better yet a property I can change?)

So, I went to save my project and it gave me an error that said it couldn't save the sprite data. I minimized AGS to check out the forum, and when I restored the window, I got this error:

"Error: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

So, I tried shutting the prgram and opening it again, and it says:

"Unable to load the sprite file ACSPRSET.SPR. The file may be missing, corrupt or may require a newer version of AGS."

What's worse, is that it won't load my project at all. Am I going to be able to recover my last update, or am I back to my last backup? (In this case: square one.)

I just downloaded AGS from the site two days ago, so I doubt the version is the problem.

ps. There was no dump file made.

Very strange. I fired it up today and it works just fine.  8)

Sorry to waste your time.

The dump file is here: (or at least, the only dump file I could locate)

I'm not sure whether it was trying to run in full screen or windowed. I'm really new to the program. I just hit the 'run' button, and this error came up while it was trying to load.

EDIT:
I have also noticed this error occurring while running the editor. Not sure if the two errors are related:
"Error: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

So, I thought I should run the demo game that comes with AGS to get an idea of how to use it, and... BAM! Error. 

The error message that appears refers to: "0x0000005 in ACWIN.EXE at EIP=0x004EE91B"

Has anyone hit a similar problem? I tried looking through the FAQs and searching the forum, but this issue didn't seem to be anywhere.

Any info would be fanstastic!
