Hi everyone!

I'm new here and I just started out using AppGameKit Studio!

I have a little problem with the app, I was able to run all sample projects that come with it (e.g. SnakeSnacker, Santa's bad elf, Smack it...) in AppGameKit Studio Classic by simply loading and running them.

However now I have installed AppGameKit Studio and Visual Editor as well, and now I cannot run any of the projects anymore. Neither in AppGameKit Studio nor in the Classic version.

Whenever I try to run a loaded project I receive this message:
Quote: "Compiling C:/Program Files/AppGameKit Data/Games/SnakeSnacker/main.agc
Error: Failed to open file for writing media/bytecode.byc
Error: Failed to open bytecode file for writing
Compilation failed."



I can create my own new project and run it (by clicking the 'Play' button), but I cannot run the sample projects anymore after loading them.

What could have gone wrong here?
It's my very first time using it, so I'd appreciate any advice taking me in the right direction.

Your project is in C:\Program files which you don't have write access to

Thank you! That was the problem!

I thought it was enough to give the steam app administrator rights. But I actually have to find the Local Files on the computer of the AppGameKit app itself, and then change it's compatibility settings to run as adminstrator as well.
That's why it didn't work.

Hmm,

I can run the sample projects now and the old project that I already created.
However when I create a new project now I get an error message again:



I tried everything I could to run everything with admin rights, with no avail.

Is this related to above problem?

Do I need to change some settings?

In case it's important, this is the short script to run the scene:

I would say your oneDrive is down. I would move it to a local drive

I tried moving it out of the OneDrive folder, but I still get the same message:


Is there something else I could try?

I don't use Studio so I can't say for certain but it looks to me like the filename might be wrong.
Surely even Studio with its ridiculous quirks doesn't put parentheses into the filename of a scene?

Hi Scraggle!

That was it!

I removed the brackets from the scene name in the #include line.

If it's interesting to anyone, here is the corrected code:



Thanks for the help!
