    Cannot Launch GM:S 1.4 With Humble Bundle Key

    As the title says. I purchased GM:S 1 through Humble Bundle in 2015, I still have my key on Humble Bundle, picture for proof. I've seen from multiple other threads that GM:S 1 no longer supports account login, and that I just need to enter my license key. When I do that I get this error...

    Legacy GM Can't find 1.4 activation key!

    Hello, so I've been trying to find a way to get my Studio 1.4 activation key, but the new website has basically removed the option for that! There's too much Studio 2 (or GameMaker as it's now called) stuff in the way, and to make matters worse, I'm pretty sure I may have just removed any chance...

    Completely Wacko Issues with making executable

    I have no idea whats going on. In my strategy game, if I test it in-editor,everything's fine. When I make the game into an executable, there's weird **** going on, so to say. On one room, an object that's never even supposed to be there (a minimap) appears there. It doesn't when testing in...

    Legacy GM How to wait until surface is resized before screenshotting (Studio 1.4)

    Checking if there's a certain number of objects on top of/in contact with another object?

    How could this be achieved: in my top-down strategy game I have a big object, and I want to have stuff happen when there is a certain number of another type of objects on top of it / in contact with it. Lets call, for example, the big object 'obj_big' and the other ones 'obj_small'. So basically...

    About enemy objects' movement speed...

    So. This might have the easiest solution to it that i just cant figure out, but: i have this TDS game where an enemy object has two stances, patrolling and attacking. Patrolling means it gets a random direction and speed, and starts going around the level. (in Step Event) Then when the time...

    In my game, I set the option to allow the user to resize the screen, keeping the aspect ratio. However, the first time the maximize button is clicked in the window bar, the runner seems to not recognize it. The screen is maximized, but it doesn't adjust the aspect ratio or rescale/reposition...

    Legacy GM No Marketplace tab?

    Hello! I'm using the most recent version of Game Maker Studio 1.4, and the "Marketplace" tab seems to be missing. This means I can't get access to a bunch of 1.4 assets that I spent a good amount of money on. Was this intentionally removed from 1.4, or is there something else I need to do to...

    Legacy GM string_insert causing memory leaks in GMS?

    My game was experiencing a memory leak recently and by removing all other objects and code, I've narrowed the problem down to this: //Draw Event //draw nmbv with 3 digits, adding 0 to front if number < 100 sbno = nmbv; repeat(2) { if string_length(string(sbno)) < 3 sbno =...

    3D 2D and 3D?

    Does anyone know if it is possible to have both a 2D and 3D game? As in the same project? I know that there are both d3d_start; and d3d_end; but the textures always appear red and black when transferring to 3D, and the rooms are messed up when going back to 2D.

    Recording your gameplay in-game, Age of Empires-like...

    So yeah, i get that this might just be a bit too far-fetched, but is it possible to code your project to kind of re-play a game you've played? That is, akin to several strategy games like AoE series, Rise of Nations, etc. where you can go to 'Recorded games' file and replay the game from...
