SCI Community How To's & Tutorials / Inventory problem

« on: December 10, 2018, 01:51:23 PM »

Hello friends. I've been working on my game for a year and a half now. It's been a slow process, 'cause I'm working solo, plus I have no background in programming, so it's like walking through a dark forest with a dying candle...  But i'm pulling through.

I came across a scary point today, though: after adding an inventory item to the inventory script, my game wouldn't load anymore. i get an error no. 5 (have no clue what it means). the game works fine if i delete the new inventory item, which makes me suspect i got too many items on my inventory list. problem is, i can't possibly make it to the end of the game without adding at least 10 more items. Got the story in my head and all, and i'm afraid I've come to a dead end. Let me say I DO have a lot of items on the Inv list, and that my scripts are badly written, the outcome of not coming from the programming world and not knowing any effective codes. I'm improvising as i go, and the game is pretty long already. I can actually smell the end, but without adding some more Inv items... probably can't be done.   please, any tips??

SCI Community How To's & Tutorials / In a desperate need of help!!!

Hi guys,

I'm writing these words with trembling hands:

I've been working on a game for a few weeks now (I'm new to the world of programming, and actually started learning from scratch using the tutorials - but have made some decent headway).
after about a week of hard work, i got a strange error all of a sudden: "Error enumerating items: Corrupt resource header - mismatched types". I got it while using the program, not when i tried to open my game's template. it just seems like all the scripts are gone suddenly!! one second it was OK, and the next - boom, got the error. and that's it, couldn't do anything anymore but starting the whole project all from the beginning.

During the time that has passed since then i have been saving my work every too often into a USB drive, replacing the whole game's folder to the one i was working on when it crashed (it has been happening more and more often).

last night i made some serious progress in my game, then saved it both on my PC and USB drive, and went to bed.

this morning, though, i got the message just when i opened my game (it was all OK last night when i saved it), and i get the error both when opening the version on my PC and the one on my flash drive. what's more - i have an older version of the game (from 2 days ago), that has been working fine, but now i can't open it either - get this error message...

sometimes i get another error when i try to open the game - "Unable to open resource map: Corrupt resource header - mismatched types".

PLEASE, CAN ANYONE HELP ME??
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
HAVE YOU HAD THESE KINDS OF PROBLEMS BEFORE?


Desperately yours...
