Error when trying to test a game

Post by dsgamer230 »

I was trying to make my own game and wanted to test the game, but for some reason when I try to test the game it says "Your game was not successfully compiled and could therefore not be run. Look for logic errors in your game and try again." I also tried this on another computer and the same message popped up. Any ways on how to fix this?

1.) what are the exact error messages that it is giving.. Usually it's because of images, wrong size, too many colors.. something with a line of your code.. i mean there are many factors.. so we would need to know the exact error message

2.) which version are you using... 4.9 OR 5.12?

1. That is the only error message I am receiving. I am able to add images, sounds, rooms, etc. with no kind of error. I also tried testing the example games that DS Game Maker provides.

2. I am using version 5.12. Here is a screenshot of what happens when I have tried testing one of the example files.

i'm not a 5.12 user.. maybe DDD or James can help.. i've gotten that before for various reasons.. it was either a saving issue, graphics or something in my code..

ie: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=86


but maybe that's not your case..


1.) try to start over from scratch - (which i have done several times)

OR

2.) post yer code so that DDD can maybe find the cause
