When my game is hosted, when I run it it comes up with a black screen with Letters on it and this error message:
BYOND(344.887) Error: error downloading resource file.
It also comes up with a message 'missing resource file' or something like that. I have tried numourous ways of packeging my files. I use ripway hosting. Could someone help me.

Try clean compiling, and make sure your .rsc is included with the .dmb, it is also possible you used " somewhere instead of ', ' includes the file with the rsc, " just calls the file and it won't be inside the rsc, just a few suggestions.
|
Do you mean include as in this (this is my dme file):
#include "combat.dm" #include "Cooking.dm" #include "Desert War.dm" #include "Farming.dm" #include "Item_Storage.dm" #include "login.dm" #include "objs.dm" #include "place_people.dm" #include "Shop.dm" #include "ShopKeepers.dm" #include "Stats.dm" #include "turfs.dm" #include "verbs.dm" #include "CityStateTest.dmp" Would I have to take of the "" like this? #include 'CityStateTest.dmp' | |
No, I mean in your dm files
like...
sound("blah.mid")
That won't include blah.mid in your .rsc file, it will search for it in the directory the .dmb is in
sound('blah.mid')
However, will include it in the rsc file, same works with icon = "icon.dmi" Try clean compiling though | |
I dont have any sound files and im sure ive done it how you said. Ill add someone else is hosting this game. I used package files so they should have got all the nessesary files. Im also sure its nothing to do with the code as I ran this at my friends house by hosting it after runing it in dream maker.

Well, give them a clean compile and see if it still happens, also other problems can be caused with hosting on a version of byond older than what the game was compiled on.
Hope this helps, sorry if not. Also, a side note: If you package, but have some file included using " instead of ', it won't add that file to the package, you have to add them your self. | |
When this happens you should delete your rsc and clean compile.
You can prevent this by not using "Recent Enviroments" in DM. | |
