got a game guru issue

[ramarjun.varma]

i have made a map myself in your engine when i made that map into a standalone game i got an issue in which some other map is showing in that standalone game not the one i made

typical gg lol. not sure how to help you on this one man, sorry. this same thing happened to me once. i think i restarted the pc and ran ccleaner and it fixed.

Its always 2 things .. Either
You havent placed a start marker ( or try replacing it just in case )
Or your not saving your map to the "Default " mapbank " folder.
You must save to the default folder ..

I have no advice, (I don't know enough), but I do have an observation; if I try to save standalone a map that is not in the default folder I EDIT always sometimes get an 'Error 502 ()' message, the build is aborted and I'm returned to the editor. If I save standalone again it works and when I run it, the correct map is loaded.

Also save before creating the standalone ..

i got it i just stored the level in map bank thanks for your suggestions

[synchromesh]

Great News glad you got it sorted :)

This is a common one and although you can install GG to a custom path its important to use the Default folders like mapbank,entitybank etc.

This is where GG looks for files when creating a standalone and custom folders can give the issue like not copying files to standalone.

If i remember right the reason this happens is because when gameguru converts the entities for the standalone it copies the files by working back from the mapbank through the file structure to find them, if the mapbank is not the stating point it gets confused.

you're incorrect sir. you do not need to save to the default folder. i made entire games by saving in custom folders without issue.

When you say custom folder, do you mean a custom folder in the mapbank? It should be in the mapbank, or a custom folder inside the mapbank, if you save it outside that structure can cause issues.

@Belidos

i mean a custom folder outside of the mapbank folder. Say for example you use D:\ maps it wont save it to standalone. Its common mistake and you usually end up under water :)
Even so i personally wouldn't use a sub folder in the mapbank folder. Anything to avoid missing models etc. :)

@Corrosion

Well it solved his problem ...

@synchromesh for some reason that didnt work for me so i ended up saving my levels in mapbank

[synchromesh]

Yep exactly ...
They need to be in the mapbank folder either way.
