"Error Compiling stuff... Please check any code changes you made."

[Fizzy]

So I'm following the "Platformula" tutorial (Except using different graphics that I made), I try to Export and Test
and the CMD window gives me this:

D:\Program Files\NESMaker\NESmaker_4_0_11_Platformula\GameEngineData>asm6 MainASM.nes game.nes demo.txt
pass 1..
pass 2..
last try..
Routines\UserScripts\AdventureGame_Base\PowerUpCode\Powerup_IncreaseMoney.asm(9):AddValue(13): Unknown label.
demo.txt written.

D:\Program Files\NESMaker\NESmaker_4_0_11_Platformula\GameEngineData>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

When I press any key, NESMaker gives me the error message:

Error Compiling stuff... Please check any code changes you made.

It mentioned something about the Increase Money Powerup script, but I haven't touched it so I don't see why there'd be an issue with it.
Anyway, how do I fix this thing without losing any progress I've made?

You need to make a small modification, in the script "Routines\UserScripts\AdventureGame_Base\PowerUpCode\Powerup_IncreaseMoney.asm".
Change that line:

Code: Select all

AddValue #$03, myMoney, #$01

To that:

Code: Select all

AddValue #$03, myMoney, #$01, #$00

It should work.

I have no idea what that did (I'm not a programming guy), but thanks!
...but now another issue I have is that I get a blank gray screen instead of my game :\

For the grey screen, you just forgot to skip the start screen: in the menu "Project > Info", check the "skip the start screen".
And... at the end of the tutorial, Joe explains how to set up a start screen.

...The box is checked. Still happening.

Have you set your HUD: 2 rows min (and 2 cols min)
(and the rest for the playable area, for example).
What emulator are you using? The native one... or fceux, as recommended by Joe?

Thanks, I got it! I think I missed the part when he said that you must set a HUD.
Now for another thing I messed up:
I'm pretty sure I chose the Adventure module instead of the Platformer module by accident,
since my character stays up in the air on startup, and I don't have some of the tile types used in the tutorial.
How do I check what module I currently have selected and how to change it?

[dale_coop]

Yes, you can check the scripts used in "Project > Project settings", in the tab "script settings".
For exemple, if the first script is linked to "Routines\UserScripts\PlatformGame_Base\MainScripts\Physics_Platform_Simple.asm" it's PLATFORM module, if it' "Routines\UserScripts\AdventureGame_Base\MainScripts\Adventure_Physics.asm" it's the AdventureModule.

You can change by re-importing the Platform Module, in the menu "Project", select "Import Project Module" and in your "Modules" folder, chose the Platform Module.

[dale_coop]

A module is just a pre-configured scripts settings, user variables, sounds settings... for the project.

Got it, thanks!!
