<h1>Rebuilding the VOL files</h1>
|
|
This is the process of taking all the resources in a game and putting them in new VOL files. The time it takes depends on the size of the game, whether or not the resources are compressed, and the
|
|
speed of your computer. Usually its between 1 and 20 seconds.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that the original AGI games were designed to be able to run from 360k floppy disks, where each VOL file went on a different disk. Because of this, each resource was carefully put on the right
|
|
disk to minimise disk-swapping. When AGI Studio rebuilds the VOL files, it does not take any of this into account. This will not be a problem unless you then want to go and run the game off 360k
|
|
floppies (the rebuilt files will may be too big to fit anyway).
|
|
<p>
|
|
In version 3 games, the resources are not compressed when the VOL files are rebuilt so the game will be a bit bigger if it was previously compressed.<p>
|
|
To rebuild the VOL files, select 'Rebuild VOL files' from the 'Resource' menu.<p>
