AGI Development Tools / Re: WinAGI v3.0.0 BETA is now officially AVAILABLE!

« on: August 02, 2026, 12:55:02 PM »

There were two things I spotted with the beta - first, when working on a picture, I found it very useful in the previous version to scroll through the command list and see the picture update as I scroll. In the new version the picture is only updated when I stop scrolling.

I think I see what you mean- when holding down an arrow key, in 2.3.7, the picture updates as each draw command is selected; in v3, it only updates when key is released. Is this what you mean?

I can look into that- I should be able to restore that behavior.

That's exactly the thing, thanks!

The second thing (and it's really minor) is that the increased font size and extra whitespace in the command list means you can't see as many entries

Not huge problems by any stretch, but I found the earlier version to be a little better in those respects at least.

I see what you mean. In v2.3.7 the font for forms and controls is MS Sans Serif and can't be changed. In v3, I have added the ability to change the font for forms and controls (which is the same font used for previewing logics, which can be changed on the Logics tab on the Settings dialog. The default is Consolas. I also restrict the available fonts to only mono-spaced fonts otherwise the preview text box won't work correctly. In addition to the Picture Editor draw commands list, other controls that use this font include the resource list, word editor, object editor, view editor list and several others.

The controls used in v3 also add some extra padding to the listbox items; not sure I can control that - it's a VS/C#/WinForms thing.

You could try choosing a different font/font size on the Settings dialog. Consolas at 10 pt or even 9 pt are a closer match to v2.3.7.

I could also see about using different fonts for the logic previews and forms/controls; then you could choose non-monospaced fonts for the forms and controls at a smaller size but still leave the preview logics as monospaced and at a different size as needed/desired. Let me know if you feel strongly about it and if so I'll see what I can do.

I didn't realise there was a possibility to change the fonts - I'll give that a go. Thanks again!

Minor error from me - the .msi file is called "WinAGI.installer.msi" but setup.exe is looking for "WinAGI Installer.msi".

I can change that to eliminate the space, which I just noticed is being converted to a '.' when the file is uploaded to github.

Slightly bigger error - when opening a previous .wag file it updates the logic files and places those in a backup folder, but copying those files back into the src folder is giving me a "invalid or corrupt game property file (AGI.wag)" in WinAGI 2.3.7.

This is by design; updating to WinAGI v3 changes the WAG file, and v3 game projects are not directly compatible with v2 game projects. The change is minimal, mostly adding and subtracting several different parameters. If you want to change it back to a version 2 project, you will need to edit the WAG file with a text editor, and change the "WinAGIVersion" property in the [General] section from 3.0 back to 2.3. Your WAG file may have some extraneous entries that version 2.3 won't use, but they can be safely ignored and the project should then open in version 2.3 again.

Thanks, I hadn't realised it was a plain text file!

I found a copy of the right version of Space Quest on Archive.org - someone has collated a big pile of disc images there:

I extracted CNVRTSND.EXE from the relevant image.
