Sorry about disappearing for a few weeks.
- Does it do this for all games, or just this one? Does it have this problem for existing games (i.e. a Sierra game that you import) or just games you create?
I just tried importing Leisure Suit Larry, same behaviour.
- It looks like you created a sample game from the template. Did you do anything else to the game after creating it?
- Did this behavior start immediately after creating the game, or did you close it, re-open it and then it started doing this?
- Can you open the template game and edit the template's WORDS.TOK file?
In the video I made a new template game expressly to be able to show the bug. I did first encounter the bug in the sort-of game I was working on though.
- If you close your game, and open the WORDS.TOK file individually (choose 'Resource|Open Resource|WORDS.TOK File' on main menu), does it open?
I think that was how I got WinAGI to properly crash before.
- As a last ditch effort, have you tried uninstalling and then re-installing WinAGI?
- To make sure I'm looking at the right code, can you confirm what version of WinAGI you are using (click Help-About to see the version.)
After initially finding the bug, (while on an older version) I downloaded and installed WinAGI 2.1.16 in order to make sure it wasn't a bug that's already been fixed. (Especially one related to my previous bug, which had been my first assumption.)
AGKorson, I'm not sure you noticed, but that looks a lot like it's running in WinXP! Maybe that's part of the problem?
Good catch. I think that might actually be Windows running on Linux- obscurenforeign has been the primary user/tester of WinAGI on Linux.
@obscurenforeign, is that the case here?
Yes, I gave up trying to get WinAGI to run in Wine and instead have been using it in Windows XP in VMWare. (I'll attach a screenshot of the full window for your pleasure.) Don't worry, I can do worse. I'm currently looking at installing Windows 98 in Dosbox so I can do development on a Raspberry Pi. Watch out, I'm crazy.
