I have no problem running other bgt apps on my machine, I don't have
issues with virus complaints, (mostly because I use an off the wall
virus checker I can't remember the name of at the moment, but it's one
that farms out their virus engine to various other virus makers, and
there are several products using it's engine, so I don't fee the
slightest bit exposed by using it. Compiling and running bgt code on
it's own gives me no issues.
On the other hand, I do seem to have troubles with programs on a
semi-regular basis nobody else seems to have. For instance, sophos home
wouldn't install on my machine using their installer, I had to extract
it and run the individual parts. (I've since removed that product though).
I do have some antispyware programs running, as well as a webcam
blocker, but those have never interfered with my ability to run
programs, so... <shrug>
Guess I'll just have to wait for another version then, to see if it
works or not.

Hi Travis,
Sable is written in BGT, as far as I am aware I believe BGT works fine
in windows 8.1, but I don’t have windows 8.1 to try that. If anyone
else has tried it in windows 8.1, would be good to know. if anyone
else using windows 8.1 has gotten it working. I haven’t seen any
other queries of this nature come in from people using Sable on the
forums or people from our social media channels. It sounds less like
a BGT issue, more like something to do with your permissions
settings. Usually when I’m running other programs and see that
message I hit enter and windows continues the installation.

Is this a windows 10 only program?
I ask, because I'm running windows 8.1, and I can't get it to run.
The error I get is:
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not
have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
This happens even when I try running it as administrator.
The compatibility wizard also doesn't help any.
Suggestions?

Hi everyone,
Welcome to Sable, which is a tool allowing you to create your very
own RPG audio games, what makes it unique is that absolutely no
coding or scripting is required what so ever. This is a first of
its kind tool within the audio games community, within just
minutes of launching Sable you can be walking around a map you
created placing buildings, sounds, creating enemies to battle and
placing NPC’s which you can interact with and much, much more.
Some of the key features are listed below. Sable is only in its
Alpha stage of development, so it is not the finished article, it
still requires lots of polish, refinement and extra features and
functionality. It is a test version which will expire at the end
of the month, all projects created in sable will be lost after
that time. Below the features list I have put a full list of the
restrictions of this early alpha build of Sable, please do read
through this in full before downloading Sable, as it contains
important information about the software. Link to the download
page for sable is at the bottom of the post, you will need a
product key for Sable which you will also find on our download
page. If you want to check out sable in action, head over to our
YouTube channel (the link is in my signature), where I demonstrate
Sable. Happy creating everyone!
Feature List
• A fully functional map editor that includes a fully
integrated Z-axis
• The ability to create weapons, Armor, items, status effects,
abilities enemies and set up unique battle encounters
• A fast and easy way to create triggers
• The ability to create NPC’s and add recorded dialogue samples
or written text (spoken by the TTS)
• The ability to add your own audio assets for just about every
aspect of the tools, e.g. your own terrain tile sounds,
collisions, items, equipment, and so on
• The ability to add your own custom music and ambient layers
• A debug mode to help test your creations
• The ability to play your creations as a functioning game
• Experimental support for screen-reader use
Restrictions of the Alpha test build
- Originally, this alpha test was meant to be closed to the
public, but owing to the outbreak of Covid19 and the state of
lock-down that the world is experiencing, we thought we would
release it publicly as a way of thanking the community for all of
your overwhelming support and encouragement.
- This is an alpha test for Sable, i.e. it does not have all of
the features and polish that it will have once it is in its
finished state.
- You will have access to this alpha test until 31 May, 2020.
- All projects that you have created will no longer be available
for use after the expiration date.
- All of the audio assets that we have included with this build of
Sable are placeholders and are to be used for testing purposes only.
- We have limited the size of maps to 100 by 100 by 2.
- We strongly encourage you to check out our YouTube
channel{http://www.youtube.com/ebonskystudios/} as these videos
can act as further tutorials.
- We strongly encourage anyone who is interested in making videos
showing their experiences with Sable to feel free to do so, but we
insist that Sable and Ebon Sky Studios be credited. Furthermore,
you must provide a disclaimer explaining that the version of Sable
you are demonstrating is in an alpha state.
- We do not have a release date for the full version of Sable. We
want to ensure that our tools meet our strict quality standards.
Furthermore, we are developing our own title--called Crimson
Eclipse--that will fully showcase what Sable is capable of once it
has been given that extra level of polish.
- If you have bugs you would like to report--and we would
appreciate your feedback--please submit them to
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>.
- All bug reports submitted will be examined--and addressed--after
the end date--31 May, 2020.
