I love this! It's quite mesmerizing to watch and really neat to see how the original artisst drew the pictures 35+ years ago.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you all for your responses! Sorry for the delayed response.

• How to edit View Descriptions in WinAGI?
  

  The ViewDescription property can be edited when you have a view open in the View Editor.
  

  
  Oh, this is perfect - I didn't see it there! Thank you!
  
• Is there any way to Log() from ScummVM?
  

  I hardly ever use ScummVM, so I can't offer much help there. It looks like you found your answer though.
  

  
  I've actually just submitted a PR to ScummVM to implement this functionality. All good now!
  
• Bug: When right-clicking on a view and choosing "Renumber"...
  

  In the meantime, try moving to version 2.2.5
  

  
  Updated to 2.2.6 and the renumber bug appears to be fixed. Thank you!
  

Great to see such an active AGI community.

Just found this in ScummVM. Looks like log() in a no-op in their interpreter.

https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/90f2ff2532ca71033b4393b9ce604c9b0e6cafa0/engines/agi/op_cmd.cpp#L787-L788

boo.

AGI Development Tools / WinAGI 2.2.4 Questions & Feedback

« on: October 03, 2022, 06:52:28 PM »

Firstly, WinAGI is amazing. I'm new to the AGI space and this program is allowing me to make the game I've always wanted to make. Thank you so much!

I've been working on a game for about a month now and had some questions about WinAGI. I think this is the right place to get the answers.

Questions:
1. How to edit View Descriptions in WinAGI?

In the help file for editing Views it says that "View Description" is a read-only property of a view. I'm just curious how we set a custom view description? Without a view description, showing a view via show.obj() crashes ScummVM.

2.  Is there any way to Log() from ScummVM?

This may not be the right forum, but just wanted to check if anyone was able to figure out which interpreters implement Log()? According the to spec, Log() writes to a local log file. While testing the game with friend and family, it would be super useful to me if I was able to capture all the text that they've typed that I didn't handle responses for. Just curious how best to do this?

I've tried calling Log() when running my game in ScummVM, but I don't see any output anywhere.

Bug:
3. When right-clicking on a view and choosing "Renumber", I get an error when I click on view #5 or higher. The error is "617: Invalid Resource Number". This happens only when clicking on a view numbered 5 or higher and happens always -- even if I create a new project.

Thanks again! Everything else I've tried works perfectly. This app is so amazing.
