CloseI want to cry! I some how messed my game up. I was uploading it to mediafire to show some people and for some reason the file they were getting was a older version of my game which was missing most of my maps and quests. So i tried to fix it by creating a game disk, changing the name of it in the rpg2003 folder(which made it not work at all so I had to change it back) Now when I go to play when i walk out of the first map to the town my screen turns black and it stays like that. and if I make the start position the town that makes it turn black all my events that are auto start just don't work at all. Someone please help me I'm like devastated I put so much time into this and was so proud of what I did.
It does sound like there's an auto-start event that is making things wonky. Like, there's a Screen Tint command in there that makes the screen go black, and there is no reciprocal Screen Tint command to restore it back.
Of course, without having anything in front of me, this is just guesswork.

I think I fixed it.. would you mind trying it out and telling me?

And if it does work let me know how I am doing so far. I could really use some feedback
And I figured out my first issue for some reason when I save my game in the maker, lets say I make 2 new maps, when I check the folder where the maps are stored it doesn't show up, but in the game maker it does. I'm not sure how I fixed it last time but am I saving it wrong?

There still seems to be some problem. When you exit the house there are 2 soldiers blocking you but you can't interact with them so you are stuck and can't continue the game. You'd better check that out first.
Oh, and "Chronicles" as a "h" in it...

See when you walk out it is supposed to start a whole cut scene with a battle. I figured out my problem I just don't know how to fix it. when I save the game in the maker and then go look in the games folder it isn't updated there. Like if I make a new map the new map isn't there. i go to programfiles/rpgmaker2003/mygame. and some of the maps are there but not my newer stuff. Yet I can close rm2k3 and reopen and everything is there. So how can I like update the folder or fix this problem. I really want someone else to see what I've made other then my 3 year old daughter lol.
Well, my screen turns black after leaving Cash's house! Yet, papasan96 was able to see that screen. Interesting.
*Edit: From what I can see in the editor, the parallel process that has the first fight has an additional precondition in the event code itself of game-switch #6 (gethimevent) being enabled. If that switch isn't on, the graphic is there, but the event doesn't trigger.
*Edit2: Okay, apparently, getting rid of the Hide Screen and Show Screen commands on the transition event in Cash's house fixed the black screen issue for me. With how the events seem to be playing out, it seems you want to enable the gethimevent switch after mom gets off the screen.
*Edit3: Okay, I saw the scene (F9 is our friend), and noticing all these switches you're enabling. I think this scene in the town (up to the fight, anyway) can work with fewer switches, though it might take some finesse.

I've put so much time into this game I finally got to a place where I feel like I have something to show people and I broke it somehow... I still cannot get my games folder to show the updated saves.. does anyone know how to fix this?
Edit: Well besides for my to many switches what do you think? And do you have an idea
how i can fix my game saves not showing up in the folder i send?

I've never used mediafire, or sites like it, so I don't know how they work when attempting to update a file. I would, however, recommend getting a RMN gamepage, and setting up a download on RMN's server. If nothing else, at least I know that there is an "Edit" button for pre-existing downloads!
*Edit: If you're feeling up to the challenge, I think you can do that scene with one switch. There are empty spaces in various character sets, so when a character is supposed to disappear, you set "Phasing" to be ON (I think that's 2K3's equivalent to "Through"?), and set the graphic to an empty spot.

The problem is not uploading it. Ok you know how if you go to the folder with your game it has all the maps? so right now in my folder there 15 maps. now i go into the maker and add 2 more maps save the game and close the make. now if i go back into the folder it still only has 15. and when i open my game again it loads all 17. for some reason it is not like updating my game folder, it's only updated in the maker itself. So if i try to copy it, upload it or send it to anyone its an older version of my game. but someone how when i load the exact same folder in the game maker itself it is fine.
and what do you think about my game so far?

I don't use 2003 I use XP but I guess it's the same...when you save the game do you save the project or export it? You need to go to file then compress game data (in XP anyway). Then upload that new file which is saved into your project folder. If you don't do this your game will update but no-one else will be able to play it.
What do I think so far? 2 screens of a tiny house with no introduction or explanation of who you are and then a battle that doesn't start? You need to upload a much more expanded version before you get feedback. And although you think you've been working on it a lot believe me, 2 weeks is nothing ^_^
Oh, and Marrend, I just pushed a key to get out of the black screen.

*Edit:
As soon as I figure out this save problem I am having I'm going to give it a try. Considering I've learned alot since I made that I think I can do it
*Edit2:
When I change the name of the file for my game 2 things happen. 1. I cant play it when i click i get an error message: DirectDraw Error (DDER_UNSUPPORTED).2. my newer saves are gone (like 2 new maps). but if i change the name back to the original my newer saves come back? can someone please help me
*Edit3:
ok i found where my maps automatically save.
C:\Users\Mike\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\rpg2003
but only the maps and a few things are in there, like all the folders with chipsets and stuff aren't in there. Why are all my maps saving there fine but not in the folder I'm really saving them too?

Same. Still nothing happens when you leave the house.
I downloaded rpg2003 to have a look. When you edit and save your game, do you select Project/Create Gamedisk?

After looking in the editor I know why the encounter doesn't work. On the home town map, in Event004, you need to put Switch Operation 0005:cancel last, otherwise it cancels the event before switch 0006 is turned on.
Also, you ought to check your spelling. "Fertilizer" plus I noticed quite a few more.
The girl who joins you is called Leeha when she introduces herself and Adriana in your party.
Random battles :-( I wouldn't have an enemy that can paralyse and easily kill your whole party right at the start of the game, especially with no way to get rid of paralysis.
Lots of houses you can't enter, although I guess this is because this version hasn't been updated? The weapon shop's passability is all wrong, you can walk everywhere.
It would also be nice to have some background. Who is Cash? Who are the Legion? Why did they take his mother? Why should the player care?

Some of those issues are fixed. all the houses are fixed now there is items to heal paralysis hidden in town, and I have changed the monsters stats. the spelling I still need to fix and the names. as far as background, within the first 20 mins of the game all those questions will be answered. Do you think that is a bad way to do it? Should I just have it all told at the beginning? And with Event004 I thought i fixed it by switching the precondition from parallel process to auto-start. I have a friend coming by today who said he thinks he could fix my save problem, when he does please try my update. Any other advice you have on how I should incorporate the back story please let me know. I have it all written down, but I didn't want to bombard the player with so much at once. And any other ideas you have I'd be glad to hear.
There is a "Make Game Disk" option in 2K3, but I've heard stories about it being unreliable. You might be better off making your own ZIP or RAR file of your game folders. Of course, I'm assuming everything is where it's supposed to be, and, from what I'm reading, they are not. Not sure what's up with that!

Yea My friend said it has something to do with the windows 8 security. It seems half my game is being saved in a hidden folder and half in the correct folder. Normally I just zip the game folder and people can play it but they don't get the rest of my game that is in the hidden folder. I should have it fixed today. Yea make a game disk never worked good for me, I always zip it.
