                            continue;
                        }
                    }

Then remove finalLines[line] = " "; and line++; right before continue;

How can I do that if you never released the source code? Plus if I get the source code and mod it, then I will have to upload text files the old way which is a pain. Could you make it so that typing something else at the beginning (like <singlesingle>) would make text appear the way it does on the computer (single spaced)?

I suppose that is a good point. I will add that to the next release.

Hey, if this has been answered before, my bad. Point me in the right direction.
The app deploys just fine on my 30, and I think I followed the instructions as per the first post.
When I start it up on the Zune, it just restarts.

What applications have you deployed with RIG in the past, and when did you deploy them?

This... would be the first. I haven't deployed new games in a few months, and was surprised upon my return with this RIG business...

So you do have games on it already from before? If you do, try to run one of those games. If they work, I might need to send you the link to get the source for the Book Reader so that you can start it with debugging and see why it crashes. I would need to know if it is the Book Reader itself or if it is just your Zune that is the problem.

It really should not be the Book Reader, though. If you do not add any text files to the Book Reader, I have it say that there are no text files to read and that you need to add at least one. It used to restart because of that, but no more. The other way it could crash immediately is if a filename of one of the text files is more than 40 characters long, but RIG notices that error and thus it would not deploy successfully.

OK. Thanks, Netrix!

I forgot to mention: also, if you already had any known-working games on your Zune before installing Book Reader, open one of them and see if it works.

Your problem sounds like an old RIG bug, but that bug has been fixed in all the RIG installers currently available and you shouldn't have been affected by it. If it was RIG, none of your games will work; if it's Book Reader, everything that already worked will continue to work.

Idk why, but it's working now. I hadn't deleted from the day before, and when I started it up today to see if I had to reinstall again, it loaded and let me select the one book I had loaded on there (Carmilla, fyi).

Now I want to just make a quick test file and see if it still works if I reinstall it. Thanks for the info so far, guys.

That is not normal, but good I suppose. If it keeps working for you, it saves me time.

It seems to work fine now. Thanks again.

I installed it, loaded up a book with RIG, and when I open the actual application on my zune, it shows the name of the text file, but when I hit the center button it resets my zune every time. I have deployed a game like it says for RIG to work but I don't get why this isn't working.

Edit: I've loaded up a few text files that are just a few words and those work fine, but when I try an actual pdf that I saved to text, it crashes. This text file is 184kb.

Edit 2: I just downloaded 2.1 and deployed it how I would a regular game, added the text file and it works fine. Finally! I have no idea why the RIG one wouldn't work but as long as 2.1 is working thats fine by me.

Can you send me a private message that has a link to the PDF file that you are using? If a file worked in any previous version, it should work with the latest version, and if it does not, I would like to fix the problem to make the Book Reader as compatible as possible. Thank you.

PDF support would be a monumental task FWIW, and "eBooks" could be in one of many different formats - which one are you speaking of?
