I just got this PM at RMN.

Now Game Maker games that use MP3's should no longer crash when you play them.
I had the same problem you did, and at first I couldn't figure out what was wrong.
But I began to suspect that the MP3's were the problem, so I asked somebody who'd made a recent GM game to take out the MP3's so I could test my theory, and sure enough, the game worked fine once the MP3's were removed.
After further investigation & experimentation, I figured out how to fix the problem--by associating WMP with MP3's.
Don't ask me why this works...maybe GM uses WMP to play MP3's? I dunno.,,but believe me, this will solve the problem you're having getting GM games to play. |
It worked. This explains why Hop's Sensational Adventure worked but nothing else would; Game Maker actually plays MP3s through Windows Media Player. Why it would do that is beyond me, but at least I can play GM games now. ФֻФ |

It can't play MP3s by itself.

Can and will do.
I'll also consider using GM now that I realize I can test my games. How hard would it be to make a turn-based strategy in GM? ФֻФ |

Pretty hard. Game Maker RPGs require an assload of variables. :C |

Can't be too difficult. I was already planning on making a custom battle system in RMVX with events, and this might even be easier than that. ФֻФ |
