UPDATE: Please note that SGDK has been updated since this video was created. If you are using a version of SGDK newer than 1.7, then please write "u16 ind = TILE_USER_INDEX;" instead of "u16 ind = TILE_USERINDEX;" and it should compile fine :)

I'm having an issue with the resources.res - i copied your code and it appears to be working but instead of showing the image it just shows a grey screen. Also, on the code itself, the text stays white, and on the resources.h, it says 'identifier "Image" is undefined'. Is there something I haven't installed? Will changing to Windows 11 after seting up the template change anything? Please help!

Yea i have previously noticed palette PAL0 that actually has 16 colours but the other 3 palettes only display 15 colours as the first colours of those palettes is always transparent so in reality the megadrive can really only display 61 raw colours, ouch man those sado masochistic sega devs really were torturing the game devs with these hardware specs which is why i have to more than admire the work Pyron has done with his management of the megadrives limited colours, he really is a beast at that. BTW major thanks Pigsy for this tutorial it truely is a godsend for a noob like myself. 👍

I'm not 100% sure if that is a limit of the hardware or of just the way SGDK implements the palette system. I've just started learning to use a new graphic tool so I'm gong to experiment with it and see if I can get 64 colours on the screen or not.
@krushingbro66202 жыл бұрын
@@PigsysRetroGameDevTutorials i read in some documents that the bakground colour can be assigned away from the palettes and it's this colour that shows through PAL0's first transparent colour so its technically a trick and good foresight on Sega just to get that extra colour on screen at least this is how i understand it.

1. This may have been an issue with CMD not being the default. I seem to have fixed this issue by using the command "Terminal: Select default Profile" and selected Command Prompt (cmd) to change the profile to use command prompt instead of Powershell. 2. My next issue was with the "Compile and Run" or the "Run" function. Even after setting the emulator .exe pathway in the extension's settings, for whatever reason, it did not like any use of spaces within folder or file names. After I changed the folder "1 backgrounds" to "1backgrounds" it calls the emulator correctly via the specified path. 3. After renaming folders, reopening Visual Studio, and opening the folder "1backgrounds", it gave me errors about "#include " and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. I deleted the line, I re-typed the same line "#include " and the error went away. It didn't make sense to me but that's how it happened. If I hit any more snags I'll update it here, and hopefully we'll all help each other out in the end.

Keep getting errors!!! stuck on this one. It says it doesn't know what type name IMAGE is in the resources.res but intelisense seems to know its a thing. My &bg1 variable isn't carrying over into main.c tho, intellisense doesnt see it over there. /SGDK/projects/backgroundproject/src/res/resources.res:1:1: error: unknown type name 'IMAGE' IMAGE bg1 "background.png" BEST ALL ^~~~~

I started over with your VStudio template and got it working finally!!! Something not configured right in the JSON files of the template I was using. I added the tasks.json from the template I was using to yours for compile. Everything's working like its supposed to now. Stoked to make a cheesy genesis game!

@@danielturnell1840 Hey Daniel, can you please share your project template? I am having the same issue, and have retried multiple times, but the intellisense never works, making it impossible to work with.

@@babababa201 I can. I'm trying to convert all my tutorial newby code into a functions library right now. I think I have the earlier completed working version still I can DB or something. I found that the resources.res issue was like a VS bug. if you close and reopen VS a lot of those errors will go away. Anytime you edit the resources.res file it has to remake the .h file and you need that .h file to link the code together. For some reason VS won't recognize the changes. I think it's because of the header file #ifndef tho and not really a VS bug per say. I haven't tried to test it. But If your code is just bad and fails to compile it might not create that .h file at all. And it's a good idea to clean before recompile any time you add or edit a resource.

@@babababa201 here's my project so far drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zqLzoLqEXxUH4yV7Q68jlg-hWEUk4cP7?usp=sharing this should compile with some warnings. You can't actually link variables in the .h the way I'm doing. It creates a huge memory leak. I have to redo them all so the variables only get called once in whatever .c file I need them in. I'm going to try to fix these with structs. The original code is in the main.c file commented out though. so you can just uncomment them. Make sure you have the environment variable set up right. I just have a System Variable GDK set to C:\SGDK. I keep my project files in a folder inside C:\SGDK\projects (where the dev kit is) My graphics png files are all wrong still but kinda sorta work. I've only re-done them about 100 times so I'm trying to get the code working better before I spend more time in aesperite making stuff again.

@@danielturnell1840 Daniel thank you so much for sharing this. Earlier today I was trying to follow along without having any intellisense, and it just makes any experimentation near impossible. Your project seems to have the intellisense working perfectly, so I am going to look further into why it works in yours but not in my original project. I have my environment variable set, and can compile and run, but intellisense doesn't pick up anything. I'm going to use your project as my template moving forward and investigate further. Thanks again for taking the time. I really appreciate you helping out. Im not new to programming but am new to C, so I have no doubt its some stupid thing I messed up somewhere.
