Error message when trying to edit published game
peter edwards
27 Mar 2013, 20:52Attempting to edit my game "Curse" (...review/866/ ), I am prevented by an error message. This doesn't happen with any of my other games. I had noticed previously that, in the description of the game, a hyphen had been replaced by other symbols. Is this stopping the process? In fact, that was the reason for my attempt to edit!

Unless that means somethings to someone, you should be able to attach by (below this response field) clicking the "Upload attachment" tab, browsing to your file and then adding it. You don't need all the assets, just the ASLX file.

Thanks for your interest.

28 Mar 2013, 16:24I'm seeing this error in the server log:
which indicates to me that your .quest file is broken. Can you attach that here (not just the .aslx), and does it load in Quest?
hexadecimal value 0x13, is an invalid character. Line 2, position 164

28 Mar 2013, 16:47The game plays on-line OK in Quest. The only problem seems to happen when I try to "edit" it from the review screen. Have I given you the right file? Thanks for your help.
Ah - I see a message saying that "The extension quest is not allowed." What now?

28 Mar 2013, 17:07I mean when you try to play the new .quest file that you're trying to upload. My bet is if the server can't open, your local copy of Quest won't be able to open it either. Anyway, email me the file and I'll take a look.

28 Mar 2013, 18:04Many thanks. Will do. In fact, I wasn't trying to upload a new file, merely to tidy-up the introductory message! Not important, but I was concerned that, if I needed to edit the file later, I wouldn't be able to.
