Hello,
I just bought Game Studio a few hours ago. Went home and installed the items on the CD. Downloaded a few tutorials, skipped quickly through the manual.
I seem to have a small problem however.
I just tried to run the Lite C Workshop 01. When I click on Test Run I got a error about the Script not being found and to check my preferences. So a quick Google search said I should set it to
C:\Program Files\GStudio7\include\default.c in Preferences. Now however when ever I click Test Run I get a black screen. Not a picture of a Planet hovering above the terrain like in the tutorial.
Can anyone help me?

hi, you shouldn't set it to default.c, that is a code file that provides help for games. If you go into Options > Preferences > Environment you should see "Use the current file for test run". That has to be checked to use the loaded script.

Thanks for the help DJBMASTER.

It seems to start loading now. then gives me a Error E355. The whole thing looks like this.
Mouse found
Realtek HD Audio output opened
NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT pure T&L device 1ff9 detected.
Compiling SCRIPT01.C
Error in 'Main' line 1: 'function' undeclared identifier
< function main()>
.
Can't compile SCRIPT01.C

Edit: The other Workshops seem to run with no problem at all.

ok, make sure you have this at the top of your script...

#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

Thank you it works now.
Feel kind of embarrassed making this post now.

LOL don't be, thats what we are here for.

Just in case you were wondering; 'acknex.h' tells the engine what things like a function or an action is, and that is the reason you were getting the 'undeclared identifier' error.

'default.c' allows you access information like the FPS, number of models on screen, memory used, etc.
