WinAGI Final Beta - Looking for a little more feedback

[AGKorson]

I'm ready to call it. With this version I've added all the features that I wanted and have cleaned up the code to the best of my ability.

If anybody out there is willing, I would love to get one more round of outside testing/feedback just in case I've missed anything big. Otherwise I'll just establish this version as the first production version as of 1 NOV 2026.

Don't know if I'll have much of a chance to do much with it anytime soon, but great to see it near completion. Nice to see a near release build moving beyond the old legacy VB and ActiveX stuff.

Okay, so I've gotten it working. I've fully recompiled the Magick Poultry games and found no changes to the VOL and DIR files. So it looks like nothing's been broken. I think I'd like to get others to playtest these games and see if they come across any bugs (which should be unlikely, as I've been meticulous). Let me know if you're interested.

Hey Eric, have gotten any further with the 2.1emplate?

This is probably unlikely to happen to many people, but it was a bit frustrating trying to install the v3 beta96. It wouldn't install because a "newer version was already installed". That "newer" version was 3.0.1-alpha8.0.

In the past with WinAGI, I've needed to uninstall the old version before installing the new, which is fine. But the beta96 installer didn't seem to include an option to uninstall, so I had to eventually do it through windows' remove programs.

The beta96 version also required me to update my .NET version, which it would be nice if the installer could have dealt with that requirement; maybe by bundling the required version?

I'm probably just grumpy after work, but it's no fun struggling to install or update a program, so I'm mentioning it here. ty!

And a question related to what I was trying to test: Almost all version of Manhunter NY that I have access to have 2 or more errors stating "Sound XXX has an invalid resourceheader at location XXXXXX in MHVOL.x". I believe these might be defects in the original sierra distribution. It's unlikely I'd need to edit the sound files, but is there anything to be done about them except to hide the error?
