Game Maker fails to load a gmk file

[Koopa Yoshi]

It keeps saying Failed to load game when I try to load a gmk file, and that gmk file is important.. I have a Backup file but the newest updates arent there, I need the actual gmk file, Game Maker sucks! Is there a way to fix this problem? DONT IGNORE!

GM 8.1 only opens and saves as gm81 files.

But you can still use 8.0.

Maybe upload the file so we could actually help a bit? .-.

Also: "Screw GM, it starts to suck" it never not sucked

I deleted 8.1 long ago, Ive always been using 8.0

@Suyo I'll consider uploading the gmk file

Anything else that I can try?

8.1 will load GMK files.
i remember you saying before "i can turn exe into GMK"
that might be your problem.

^ That ^

You see, just changing a file's extension (.EXE) doesn't convert the file. If that is what you did, you can't load it, because that file is corrupted.

Example: Change JPEG to PNG. Now you have a PNG with JPEG data. Because an image editor would think that is a PNG, it would try to load it, but because there is JPEG data in the file, it becomes unable to be opened.


^ Does that fix your problem? ^

I never converted it to exe by changing the gmk extension. I did it by creating the stand-alone file.
But I did use some sort of fake program to convert it to flash, but I copied a file of the gmk before doing it so it doesnt affect the real file.

The last update I made on this game is creating a parent and setting it as a parent to lots of object, does that damage the gmk file? Or maybe the gmk file was to big?

Upload the gmk file already, else we can hardly help you.

I think I can trust you, so okay, PM to you only, but it will take a while to upload
