ENIGMA Development Environment

I got mine to load, but the character doesn't appear, and maybe it's the draw event that doesn't work with Enigma.  Take a look at this, and see if it looks bad to you.

Code: [Select]

draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index,-1,x,y,image_xscale,image_yscale,image_angle,image_blend,image_alpha)It works in GM8, but not in Enigma.

the problem seems to be [-1] which is to represent the sub-image of the sprite. A value of -1 indicates an invisible or non-existent sprite. Sprites sub-image starts from 0.

If you have an animated sprite, then the sub-images would start from 0 to the number of images-1. E.g if you have an animated sprite with a total of 5 images, then the sub-images with be numbered from 0 to[4].

Every day is Goombert appreciation day in the land of Goombert! Go Goombert, go Goombert! It's your birthday, it's your birthday! Congrats! Ween!!!!

 

sounds interesting, could you do an example and post it please?

it is unfortunate that Java 7 doesn't work for you........yet if Java 8 does, then by all means download a 32bit version and work on from there.

I usually work with the LINUX version as i am aspired to create LINUX games rather than WINDOWS or MAC. However for your sake, I wish you success in developing with ENIGMA.

I do realize than ENIGMA works far better in WINDOWS as far as GUI functions go as opposed to the LINUX version. It works more stable without any major problems depending on the type LINUX you have. Once you get it working, it's perfect.

It works good on UBUNTU 14 and most derivatives of UBUNTU 14. With the newer ones, not so much, mostly its touch and go. Also you can use Java 8 without any hitches.

You can save your projects in either GameMaker 6 up to Game Maker Studio 1.2 format.  Problems can occur from the DRAG & DROP coding. Which is why it is best to know GML/EDL.

to answer your question about the extra text at the end, I can't say for certain, but I believe it represents a minimum and a maximum range of memory assigned to run the software. I don't think you actually need those extra parameters, so you can delete that part. Note that having installed JRE7, your modifications should be something like

idecommand="c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\JRE7\bin\java.exe -jar "


Now to the matter at hand. After reviewing everything we did, I built another machine, installed Windows 7 32bit version, installed all the updates, ENIGMA, etc.

Basically, I did everything done on the 64bit machine, compiled and ran an empty project.  Everything worked good at this point. However some source files/projects that worked before on my LINUX machine would not run on both machines. They loaded fine but when I went to run  them, they crashed.

All that were in [.gm6] format, I had no problems with. Others with the extensions [.gmk] and [.gmx] caused some problems.  I even had to go as far as re-write them, for them to work.

So what then does all of this mean? Well, you may not want to hear what I have to say, but your Windows OS may be corrupted. Run an Antivirus program to check for viruses and malware.

you could also try deleting your ENIGMA folder and re-installing it to the DESKTOP or your DOCUMENTS folder. the reason being that that they have ADMINISTRATIVE privileges, so you don't need to always 'Run as Administrator' any program you have there.

There's not much anything else I can recommend.  i was hoping that the other more experienced users would've joined in and offer suggestions but I guess they are busy with other things.

If you still encounter problems, still let me know. I'm still trying to figure this one out.

Java and JRE (Java Runtime Environment) are separate entities in that JDK is a complete suite of compilers, debuggers etc which include the JRE.


The Wiki says that one does not need to install the JDK but as you keep having problems with  the JRE, try installing the JDK and see if it  works.


 Download JDK from here


You can also install as an Administrator by right clicking on your mouse button and select 'Run as ADMINISTRATOR' when the dialog box appears. Take special note where the files will be installed. That will be you need to type when editing the 'idecommand'

Please state what type of Operating System, whether you are using a 32bit or 64bit version and/or in a Virtual Environment e.g VirtualBox or V Mare. Such info is important to ascertain your problem.


However, consider these as well. Are you using a firewall, because it seems as though you cannot cannot reach the web addresses for download. Also which Java version do you have? Which version of python?


Get back to me as you see fit.

Glad to of service!
