I can't run police quest under winxp
« on: January 04, 2002, 08:14:17 PM »
I am running an athlon 1.4 with windows xp profesional. Whenever I try and run police quest, it runs to the police quest intro, but then the game(not the computer) freezes. I have to minimize the application and close it. Please help, I need to fix this because I'm making a game for a school project.

But I gotta use AGI Studio to compile and run my game. But it freezes just like police quest.

After you compile the game go to dos and run it.

agisci/zero:
I think I would find having to run from a boot disk to test out a game I was writing in Windows would be a big pain.

singh:
Do you know if the game works under another operating system?  It might just be a corrupted game.

You mentioned you were using AGI Studio.  Are you editing the Police Quest logic files?  Perhaps you changed something that broke the first room's logic.

Try stepping through the code using the trace routine.  You might have to hack in the trace init cmds in yourself using agi studio but you could step through and see if there's a loop.

It worked under Windows2000. I'm not editing the poliic quest file, I just took some characters out and put it in the "starter's pack"

No-one else uses XP?

Yes compileing it in windows and running it in dos would be a pain. But if it is the only way to get it to work I say go for it.

I believe he is talking about the pack on the ultimate AGI & SCI Web Site it has everything you need to make you own AGI games. AGI demo 3(So you can get an interpreter), AGI Studio, mid2rol, and rol2snd are in this pack. Is this the pack you are talking about?
