Re: Unique map sharing problem (can't get friends to see my

Sandbox uses your home directory for its user files, such as your maps and things.

Since you're on a mac I don't have a clue where that is, sorry.
I'd look under a folder with a name like "Library" and work from there.

Re: Cant open RPG mode anymore?[Help Needed]

Anything helpful in the logs? You should see a stdout.txt with the rest of your personal data, open it and see if there are warnings/errors

I'm guessing my "boot the user back to the main menu because the game data is bad" code is biting.

Re: 2.8.1 Major Issue

Meanwhile in init.cfg

Code: Select all

scr_w 320
scr_h 200
You're using a 320x200 viewport, no wonder it looks awful.
Can you set that to something sensible like 1024x768? (via that screenres thing from above), or delete init,cfg?


There doesn't seem to be anything weird in your configs otherwise.

Re: 2.8.1 Major Issue

What in the *heck*, did you set maxtexsize to 16x16 or something?

look inside the my_stuff folder, you sohuld see several files like this

Code: Select all

init.cfg
config_rpg.cfg
config_fps.cfg
stdout.txt
Zip ALL of those up and get them to me.

We have had occasional Mac builds, but there's no one here who can consistently build them, so...

Re: 2.8.1 Major Issue

Can I get a screenshot?

Otherwise I can only suggest you blind type the following, substituting in your screen's resolution here. (just press T at the main menu to bring up the command line)

Code: Select all

/screenres <screenw> <screenh>

Re: showgui not working

showgui went away when the new user interface system landed. The outdated wiki page for that is here: http://www.sandboxgamemaker.com/wiki/index.php?title=New_menu_editing It's unfortunately not going to help you much with using it - Not sure why you'd need it for a door/key combo unless you're ente...

Re: Texture Sizes

Ok. I have tested importing 256x256 (enlarged from 128x128) and, for the purpose I need, 256x256 works just fine. Unless you're using some special filters or altering the enlarged image, this won't magically make it look better than the 128x128 version. Also, textures are relatively cheap on the GP...

Re: Texture Sizes

You can use whatever, we just recommend powers of 2 (1/2/4/8/16/32/64/128/256/512/1024/etc) for convenience and to account for the fact that some hardware has poor support for non-power-of-two textures. We generally recommend 512 for textures if you want nice crisp and clear images, Anything lower i...

Re: Question about PAS. Is this possible?

We've said many times in the past...

Sandbox has an RPG module provided, but it is somewhat incomplete and does not offer multiplayer functionality and never will.
Sandbox is open source (zlib/libpng license) so you are most welcome to attempt it.
