Hi Guys,

I have stickied this thread to capture any issues you may be having with the new 107 release. We anticipated some functional differences given the number of new commands, and we wanted to make sure we can collect the issues in a manageable way. We have updated the AppGameKit Issues Board with the latest feedback and classified everything so it's up to date. We have ticked off things that have been fixed, and will be going through them to see if we can squeeze a few more things into the 1071 build for you.

If you do find an issue that you have confirmed as a bug, please post a report to the AppGameKit Issues Board Here: http://code.google.com/p/agk/issues/list

By all means use the forum to discuss 107, just be aware we will be using the issues board as our guide to fixing issues for build 1071, so if you want your bug dealt with, that's the place to be. I have left this post as a sticky so you can discuss whether an issue should be in the board or not

I drink tea, and in my spare time I write software.

Hi,

I can confirm this bug in the VS2010 project files. Probably the only folder I did not test to get it out the door last night I will look into it and it is definitely a bug:

1>AGKWindows.lib(DataMask.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: static void __cdecl std::_String_base::_Xran(void)" (?_Xran@_String_base@std@@SAXXZ) referenced in function "public: void __thiscall std::_Container_base_secure::_Orphan_all(void)const " (?_Orphan_all@_Container_base_secure@std@@QBEXXZ)

Fixed for 1071. You just need to change the Project Properties -> General -> Platform Tools -> v90

You don't need VS2008 .

It's Project Properties -> General -> Platform Toolset -> v90.

Kamac VS2010 spits out an error message that VS2008 is not installed, then 34 errors come out! So you need VS2008!

Lee, can you please make the next version NOT DEPENDENT on VS2008? If I am going to use 3rd party libs not compiled for VS2008 I am going to run into problems in teh future.

Thanks.

Hi,

I've got a problem with the release 107 and the android player. All works great, the player receive the app but when it's time to launch it I have "Version error : Update the player to continue"

I tried to reinstall it via my account, it doesn't change, I tried to reinstall it via the market, that's the same.

any idea ?

Thank you.

In T2 the AppGameKit directory is still being created in MyDocuments and the interpreter graphic files, splash screens etc are still being written there.

When is this going to be taken care of for T2?

Keep those bug reports coming. We've decided to post pone the 1071 release until Friday which gives us a few days to sort out the advert code and also to respond to the issues you are reporting a fresh in the Issues Board. As to the VS2008/VS2010 issue, I can only imagine we compiled the LIB file for VS2010 at some point though I can't imagine how that got into the build? Is anyone else having issues of using VS2010 for 1065 build and the project now fails with the new 1070 AppGameKit lib? The original error means the VS2008 lib we produce has some changed MS decided to make for VS2010 thus crippling backwards compatibility and forcing a re-build of all libs that compile against a VS10 default installation. I am curious if this issue has been solved and I've temporarily forgotten it Community help appreciated!

All worked fine on 106 (I never installed 1065) and VS2010.

To set v90 you must install VS2008 which is an extra hassle if you have VS2010! If you can solve this in the future I would appreciate that.

Yep, me too!
I didn't understand: Do I have to wait a few days for the next release that will fix the issue with the compiler? I ask because I don't want to install VS2008?

One of my projects is compiled and linked without problems after changing from V100 to V90
Other project gives me errors like:
Quote: "msvcprtd.lib(MSVCP90D.dll) : error LNK2005: "public: void __thiscall std::basic_ios<char,struct std::char_traits<char> >::setstate(int,bool)" (?setstate@?$basic_ios@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@@std@@QAEXH_N@Z) already defined in AGKWindows.lib(Str.obj)"

etc.
I can be more specific if needed.

EDIT: I go back to 106. Sorry to say that but I am very disappointed from 107. Personally I don't need at this time all these new commands and I don't want to have a VS2008 installation on my system...

I can confirm that downloading and installing VS2008 (express edition, it's free and available from MS website link) and changing "Platform Toolset" in project properties is solving all the issues (no errors during compiling process). I guess 15 min job + 300 Mb extra on C drive is worth having all those new commands (and I don't need to wait for a fix

While I may be wrong, it would seem the depth order for sprites on the same depth layer has been changed in someway from V1605. Can anyone else confirm?

Yes we were told that the depth order has been "fixed" for 107 quite some time ago. Sprites now appear in the reverse order they used to be. Which is the proper way now.

Got home from work tonight and gave it a go but had to install VC++ 2008 Express which worked for compiling with v90.
At least I have access to the new stuff now.

Build iOS player but will not run 107 code, displays this error:

Version Error: Update the player
Failed to connect to server IP

The player does run 1065 code.

I used only the new files from the fresh 107 install and a clean project directory in xcode. The folders agkinterpreter.xcodeproj and classes are dated 5/1/12, everything else is dated 8/3/11. I am also getting build warnings this time that I did not get with the old player which are mostly "warning: backslash-newline at end of file", project still builds and installs.

Player says version is "100000006" and as I said, does not run 107 programs.

ok after putting a big project into the new version this is a new error I have not seen before.


this happens once i delete all the sprites and vectors to fill them with new sprites, and I get new vectors. This is a c++ 2008 error. The program runs the first level of my game but when I try to delete vectors and sprites this error occurs I try and track the bug down, but this might be a bug with one of the new dlls.

ok after hours of going though my code the heap problem in my program that worked on the last version. I have found that ifstream is not working like it use too.
If I have a file that is small and loaded then using a larger file after words the heap is messed up. But if I load a very large file at first then a smaller file it works fine.

I don't know why this is happening in v107 and not the last version.
here is an example of the error i get know in v107


I bet it is because inFile is pointing to the same part of memory as the last file. So I guess it is not a mistake by agk programming I just will have to initialize the size of the files that can be read, but forgot how to do that.

I guess a fix to this heap problem is load a big file first or the biggest file then load a smaller file so the heap does not mess up.

Seams to be some issue with the set sprite frame ?
Seams like it throws somekind of frame 0 sometimes?
I use set sprite frame alot in my raycaster and it worked on 1065 but as soon as i installed 1070 so dosent it work anymore?

I found an simple workaround that forces it to not attempt changing frames if it is 0.

But its weird?

EDITED..............
Seams like the new update is more sensitiv if it gets an frame 0?
I have looked some more and my code sometime throws during a millisecond a frame zero and agk app crashes.

Frames start at 1, previously it would just clamp it to 1 but someone asked for it to return an error instead.

Quote: "ok after putting a big project into the new version this is a new error I have not seen before."


The heap error could be related to a bug I recently fixed (after 107) in CloneSprite() which was deleting a pointer twice. This would cause a heap corruption error at some random point somewhere else in the program. If you are not using this command then there is another bug somewhere.

PARTICLES PROBLEM:

On the home screen of my game I have a routine that produces particles on a mouse click - if I repeated click under 1065 particles work fine; on 1070 they work inconsistently.

I thought maybe it was just Windows XP but it's the same on XP and Windows 7...

Ian Rees and bjadams I had the same problem in T1. I found out if you add SetParticlesActive(ParticleNumber, 1) after you create each particle they should work fine.

Is anyone having problems closing their app with the red "x" at the top of the app window?

I get the "{AppName} has stopped working" Windows error message - but not every time. It seems to be worse on Windows 7, not got it under XP (yet).
