Using latest AGK2 i have found that pressing F1 for help with a command has started missing the usual examples off the bottom of the web page, showing "Not Found", "The requested URL/help/comments.php was not found on this server".
I have re-installed it and even gone back a few version releases to try to eliminate possible causes but with no success.

Attached is a screenshot of what i am getting.



Can anyone help me in being able to get the full help pages showing examples which should normally appear ?

Thanks.

Afaik the external (php?) examples have never worked for whatever reason on the offline help pages. It'd be nice if it worked ofc. One exception (that I know of,could be more) is for the "endif" command, but here the example is included on the page itself.

If you look up the online version, you should see the examples.

Also, on Linux (Mint 18.1), the "Context action" right-click don't work at all (F1 does though).
Apologies for any typos and strange grammar.

Hi, this will be fixed when we release the new version coming next week. It's due to the main AppGameKit website being updated recently.

My AppGameKit just had another update and I can confirm this is now working for some commands using the F1 help, but not for others, whether or not that is just coincidence and it used to do that anyway, I do not know.

Either way I am sure it will be fixed at some point, for now just use the live version

Same here, no change.

I also found it a bit inconsistent, which seems to come from two different (offline) search pages ("search2.html" and "search.html").

When you select "Context Action" in the editor, it takes you to the "search2.html" pre-filled with the word under the cursor. But this page doesn't return as many results as the "search.html" page for some reason. Pressing F1 does take you directly to the help page for the command in question though.

If you go to the "Commands" page and select "Search the command list", it takes you to "search.html". Some commands that shows up here but not in "search2.html", are:

CreatePointLight
SetPointLightMode
SetObjectCastShadow
LoadObjectWithChildren
SetSunActive

And others. Not at all an exhaustive list, but it seems to go for some 3D commands (not all).

But all in all not a biggie, as long as you know about F1 (or go to the commands search page as above).

Sorry, the fix was made in the help builder but was not propagated to the main build system, it should be fixed in the next version.

Quote: "When you select "Context Action" in the editor, it takes you to the "search2.html""

search2.html is not coded into the IDE. The context action can be defined in the Edit->Preferences->Tools menu option, by default it does nothing.

Aha, thanks!

I don't remember setting it, but I haven't reinstalled AppGameKit lately (years?) so I may have messed with it at some point (I have the Steam version). My context action was set as:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "file:///E:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\App Game Kit 2\Tier 1\Help\search2.html?search=%s"

But if I change it to search.html, it won't fill in the search field. Guess I just keep it for the time being.

Hi RickV, glad you're back.
This wasn't fixed with your patch so still not showing examples.

Hopefully its just a matter of copying them to the server, but then maybe not
