Whenever I exit the SGDK my sprite template automaticly changes solid tiles to none, making my game unplayable. Has this happened to anyone else and if so what should i do about it?
-
Well, let me ask the obvious question first. Did you set it to something other than "None" and save it that way? Save the whole project I mean?
-
Yes, i keep having to re-save it. But that is the only problem i am having with the Development Kit, it kicks ass
-
And thanks for not flaming me, I am kinda new at this.
-
heh, we don't flame here, this is a nice little community
-
sweet, I have a feeling this will be a much more enjoyable experience than the last few forums i have posted on. I hope you guys will put up with my total ignorance

We value the few members we have because it's so quiet around here -- wouldn't want to scare anyone off :). I think GameDev's popularity is out of balance with it's quality -- one of those "stealth" killer apps that's pretty good but few people know about ;) (even if it is result #1 on google for a search on just the word "scrolling"). Or maybe they know about it and they just don't come here to talk about it.
Do you have a place you could post your project and provide a link for me to download it so I can try and see myself exactly what's happening? There's something that doesn't make sense and is worth some more experimenting: The program does not change the saved version of the project unless you tell it to save. So I don't see how exiting the program can be the step that's introducing the problem. It must happen when you play the project and it tries to reset it afterwards, or maybe it never loads it correctly in the first place.

Thanks a lot for helping me, do you know of any good places that will post my project, and i must warn you It totally sucks.
-
well, you could zip it up and put it on angelfire like i do. or you could search on google for a free website service
-
is it possible to email it???
-
if you knew bluemonks email address, then yes, though i dont kno if htats how he might want to recieve it
-
ok. i will just wait and see. i am as dumb as a rock when it comes to posting files
-
You are updating the sprite template after changing it, right?
-
Email it to me if you can zip your project into a file under 1 MB. Be sure to include not only the GDP, but all the BMP and MAP files that your project uses. BlueMonkMN@users.sourceforge.net
-
i am updating it everytime i change it then i save afterwords, i will use WINRAR to zip it immediatly, tanks a lot for helping.
-
s***, i let my freind help edit the map to make it harder and he saved, destroying my sprites, templets, and animations in the process. thanks for your help you guys, but i will have to rebuild my game.
-
How on Earth would that happen? I don't see how that's possible if he was just editing the map.
-
i didn't think so either, but somhow he managed it. anyway most of the bitmapfiles were still there and the map sucked as is so it will be pretty easy to rebuild it, infact i am almost done neow
-
Maybe he just created a new map and deleted the old one, unaware of all the data attached to the map. I suppose this was the "hard way" of learning that you need to keep a backup of your project (and copy the whole folder, not just the GDP file!), especially when you let someone else edit it. Hopefully you don't hit that kind of problem again.
-
yes i think that is it as well, thank you for all of your help and i have created the first crappy simplistic level of my game, it even has an intro text. yay!
