Problem with Joystick

28 August 2011 - 02:42 AM

I have problem with Game Maker 5.3A, it doesn't recognice joystick. It does accept buttons, but it seems not find any input from joystick.
I have tried my joypad with different computer, which have Game Maker 8.0, and it worked just fine ( joystick_pov(1) ). Also with computer, which have GM5.3A, joystick works normally on the emulators.

You may ask, why I use Game Maker 5.3A. The computer, which uses GM5.3A is my project called CabiNes, game arcade cabinet capable playing Nintendo, Sega Master System and Game Boy games. It runs on Windows 98SE, so newer GM's won't work and GM5.3A loads friggin' fast (less than second). I am making front end with game maker, application which automatically finds games you have what you can select to play. The joypad is really heavily modified gamepad.

I also tried start in debug mode and put all joystick functions, and none had response from joystick.

[Solved] How read strings from INI file?

23 July 2011 - 04:04 PM

I have been trying read values from INI file, where are my settings.
Reading numbers aren't problem, but look at this:

global.right=ini_read_string("Control","key_right",1)
in INI file I have wrote key_right = vk_right.

Global.right is being used like this:
if keyboard_check(global.right)

INI stores my information which buttons are used for controlling the player.
Now global.right=ini_... gives me a string, which can't be used in keyboard_check.

I remember you couldn't change string to room name, it just didn't work in GM. Is this same problem?
If it is, how I can outcome this?

Which one is faster?

Which one is faster:
- if s1=1 and s2=1 and s3=1 ...
- if s1*s2*s3*...=1

Both methods works, but does below one use less CPU, 'cause it does have only one if -expression.

Game Maker Error

05 November 2010 - 08:03 AM

I had written long code in code editor and after that I decided remove all else commands. So I put word on search and hit enter, boom I have error:
Access violation at adress 00588ADC in module "Game_Maker.exe". Read of address FFFFFFFC.

I am using Windows XP, pressing Ok opens just new error popup, which is same. I don't know what error this is, or what causes it. I had internet, paint, notepad open at same time.

I hadn't saved for while, so it would be annoying write all that code again, so is it possible fix this without closing Game Maker from Task Manager?
