Hello everyone!
When I try to load the first King's Quest (1984) with WinAGI (1.2.6), I got this error and the software fails to load the content:
"Unhandled error (-2147220852: Unhandled error in LoadSound method(-2147220999: Invalid resource location (134703) in VOL.2)) encountered while loading resources."
Is the problem known? Or maybe my version of King's Quest is corrupted?
Are you saying only that one resource, with the bad pointer won't load? Or is the entire game not loading? Because WinAGI
should load the game and all valid resources, even if it encounters one or more with invalid data.
I only recently became aware that some Sierra games would leave behind invalid DIR file entries that would point to non-existent, unused resources. Since I never encountered it before, WinAGI originally would always try to validate all resources when initially loading, and give up if it detected something like a bad DIR file or VOL file. So I added extra error trapping that now allows the game to continue to load while just ignoring any invalid resources.
But if it's not loading anything, that's a problem I will need to address.
