Hey,
So, after having to muck around with the new functions system, I FINALLY got my game to LAUNCH. However, when I DO launch it, all that comes up is a BLACK screen. Um, I've tried to fit my background sprite to the room EXACTLY. I've sized the views and cameras to fit. I've set the player and opponent's spawn points, and origins, and made them VISIBLE. And I've looked ALL over the internet for the solution to this problem, reading TONS of articles and can't FIND anything. Also I've tried running an OLDER game, and I get the SAME problem, a black screen on launch. I even get the BACKGROUND music with no VISUALS.
Other people have said:
-It might be the graphics card (which I don't know how to resolve)
-That it was a setting in Global Game Settings/Windows/Graphics (This was more in an OLDER version of GameMaker)
-That the views and cameras weren't set correctly in the room
-Something about objects extending OUTSIDE of the room (which my floor and wall objects do)
-Also other people have said to try a demo from the main page, but my demo thumbnails are TINY and I TRIED to download one, but don't know if I DID. Also, since my OLDER GAME doesn't work EITHER anymore (when it used to before) I thought there might not BE a need to try a demo
Anyway that's all I can think of for now.
Is there any way for me to get RID of this black screen and see my background and CHARACTERS?
If you could help me out that would be cool.
Cheers.
