I had A7 then got A8 & found there were no shooter templates for A8 yet. I went back to A7 but found when loading the template shooter script I had a black screen on "run". Ive tried everything including the video preferences & searched everywhere. Help! I have little scripting knowledge. I have the old 9600 Radeon card. Thanks in advance!

For me it only stays black if a file wasn't found like a level or model or sound.

May be you are trying to use C-SCRIPT or shaders?
What version of A7 you are using? I mean COMMERCIAL, FREE, EXTRA or may be PRO?

Its the free version a7.86. This only happens when I add the template "shooter". As soon as I erase the template "shooter" the level is now seen when I run it.

What exactly template you use?

It's the "shooter_template"

I never worked with templates, so I'm not sure, are the script files .WDL or .C?

Shooter_Project WDL script

you can't use wdl with Free Edition and therefore u can't use the old A6 templates including the shooter template.... ((It shows a black screen + a warning ))
Free Edition Supports Lite-c Only....
Hope that helps

Thanks for the help
