Launching Trouble

Hi, my game is still at the beginning section but I was going to test it.
I did these interfaces: Dialog,Inventory,Journal,Level Up,Loading dialog,Map Interface, Map Mask and Scrollbar Skin. After testing and realising that it wasn't working, I looked through the manual but just quickly, I've done the Startup Screen, Start a new game and Start game Lcations and Events but I'm not so sure how you do the "Main.cet" is it what the player recieves when starting a new game?

The Main event is launched when you call a New Game engine call. Basically, the bare minimum you add is a teleport to the first map and the starting map co-ords. You also usually add all the starting stats in here as well. For example, you can set the HP of the hero and how much gold they start off with.

Thanks for that 😉
*I've got for my "Main.cet": 2 Teleports,Attribute Wizards,2 Item Wizards and a Map Position.
*I've got for my "StartGame.cet":Teleport, User Control.
*When I go Project: Build and Launch and it should fade black and then show the Startup Screen but it just blanks the menubar and returns to Coldstone.
I've been getting serious and concerned about it now. I've been changing the events around and everything but it's just tough trying to solve it, I need examples of Main and StartGame and even the start a new game events. Can you help me?

Just build your game in the "medieval" style, instead of empty. It does all that event nonsense for you.

What OS are you using?

As bob said, try creating a medievil game. That should show you the basis of a simple game. If you are running Panther then you are out of luck until the update is released. Though it shouldn't be soon off now as the person working on it is meant to be leaving soon

I went on Carms website to see if she mentions anything about CS at all. What I found was a small bit saying that she is currently working at Ambrosia from December 2003 to mid-May 2004. It is now mid-May 2004.

Klobby: Try what we have suggested and create a medieval game and start from that. CS can be very temperamental when creating a new game. After the first few maps and events everything should work fine.
