[Adventure lab Test not sequential]

Thank you for the tip, 'CAVinoGal' : I can now delete the test trials in the app.

Thank you also to 'Max and 99' : In fact, the switch in the Off-position, located just after "Play locations in sequential order", was so pale that I did not see it, so I did not toggle it to the On-position. Now, its ok.

So, both problems are fixed.
 

[Adventure lab Test not sequential]

I am trying to build my first AL, and i am a little bit puzzled with 2 problems :

 

1 - My AL has 5 locations, (let's say L1, L2, L3, L4, L5) and is supposed to play  in sequential order. I have created a Test version, scanned the QR-code into the smartphone app (Android), and play it. The problem is that it does not play in the sequential order that i have chosen, but in its own order, for instance L1, L3, L2, L5, L4. In fact, it seems that it goes to the nearest available location, instead of going to the next sequential location. Is it a bug in the Test version, or did i do something wrong?

 

2 - To delete the Test AL, it is easy to delete it on web (just select 'delete test'), but to delete in app, it is written in the manual 'Open the app on your mobile phone, select the Directory tab (3 lines in upper right corner of the screen), ...  The problem is that there is no Directory tab visible on the phone screen : See picture.

 

Thanks for your help.

[Will there be a new version of the builder?]

I agree they do not commincate very well about the development of Wherigo.

This is the least that can be said

 

I have released two cartridges in July 2008 ('Versailles_chateau.gwc' and 'Montfort_1.gwc') but using the current version of the Builder is too painful : I am waiting for a "less-bugged" release of the tool to build my third level.

Hope it will be before end of this new year

[Quick question - I hope]

If you mean that when you have 2 consecutive MessageBoxes, only the second one will be seen by the player, this is the standard behavior of the system. MessageBox 2 overwrites MessageBox 1 without any delay, and the player has no chance to see it.

If you want MessageBox 1 to be seen by the player, you have to use a script and display MessageBox 2 only when the player pushes a button on MessageBox 1.

[Function Call]

Put your event (the one with "SaveGame()") in the "Author Functions" section.

The Editor will still show you a parse error, but you will be able to compile successfuly, and use the Emulator to save, using your triggering event.

[Builder running with Windows Vista 64bit ?]

i cant save a compiled file, it result on a error message

You have to run this program as a Vista administrator :

• Right click on 'WherigoBuilder.exe'
  
• Select the 'Compatibility' tab
  
• Check the lower box ('Execute this program as administrator') + OK
  

[New version of builder and player?]

there's no bug in this builder

You are right

[New cart not working on Colorado]

Here's a screenshot of what I see on my CO

Here is a screenshot of what I see on Wherigo Player :

 

 

Not much different as what you see on your Colorado...

[ICON?]

Here is this new icon :

 

 

To get this new icon, you must log your visit on the Geocaching.com website.

If you log on the Wherigo.com website, it will not bring you this new icon, even if you "unlock" your cartridge.

Fond out that colorado doesn't suport message box with script buttons...

[Unable to load DLL 'ZonesEngine.dll']

Many people seem to meet this problem : See here

Until now, i could use the last release of the Builder (2.0.5129) on my Microsoft XP computer, while on my Microsoft Vista computer, i had to downgrade to Builder 2.0.5016, to get rid of this "Unable to load DLL 'ZonesEngine.dll" exception.

Yesterday, i had to reload a backup copy on my XP computer, and therefore had to re-install the Builder : This time, version 2.0.5129 refuse to load the 'ZonesEngine.dll'

 

I have been tying to have it working on 4 different computers (2 with XP, 2 with Vista) : In all 4 cases, i got the same error message :

 

 

Many possible cures have been suggested in this forum to solve this problem (update .NET 2.0, re-install Visual C++ runtime, add the MSVCR80.dll, debug the .LUA file, incompatibility with XP SP3...)

In my case, none of them did cure the problem.

 

What i did was to remove the provided ZonesEngine.dll (dated 05/28/2008) and copy instead the old ZonesEngine.dll dated 04/04/2008. So, it is the same computer, same O.S. (XP SP3), same browser (IE7), same .NET program, same .LUA file : Only the dll is different, and with the old dll, the error message is gone, and the Builder works satisfactorily. And this is reproductable back and forth.

 

 

So, it sems that there is definitly a problem with this 'ZonesEngine.dll' dated 05/28/2008.

[Colorado : Is there a way to display 2 buttons in a MessageBox ?]

I try to use the following function :

 

function zitemclef:OnClick()
Wherigo.MessageBox{Text=[[Vous voyez une clef ancienne.]],Buttons={"La conserver","La jeter",},Callback=cartTry_1.MsgBoxCBFuncs.MsgBoxCB13}
end

 

- With the Emulator, I get the text and the 2 buttons, as expected.

 

- With the Colorado, i do not get the text (instead, i get the media associated with the item 'zitemclef') and i get one OK button, instead of the 2 expected buttons.

 

[Problem using Vista]

Information for poor people who are stuck with Windows Vista

 

I have been messing around for a while with the current version of the Builder (2.0.5129) without succes, until i install an older version : Success !

Version 2.0.5016 of the Builder is willing to work with Windows Vista

[Problem using Vista]

Thank you for the quick and helpful answers.

 

People using Microsoft Vista will therefore have to wait until Vista becomes compatible with the rest of the world, to be able to use Wherigo Builder

 

... or more probably that the rest of the world becomes compatible with Vista

[Problem using Vista]

I am just starting to use the Builder.

Installation and use under Windows XP is ok.

When i try to do the same on a computer (Dell) with Vista, installation is ok, i manage to create and save a .LUA file, but when i try to re-open it (using File->Open cartridge) i get an error message which says :

"Error reading cartridge.
