I have a very strange and complicated problem. I have been trying to make this futuristic game, and i put in two splash screens. the first is one of the coldstone badges that says that was what i used to make it. the second is the title of my game. i made two locations for these, and put a button on the second one linking to another location called "start new game." At first these screens did not show up and the computer would crash. after much fiddling and tweaking i got them to work, although i'm not quite sure how (something to do with file extentions on my pictures). But that's not the important part. Now those screens will play (from the "startgame" event), but when I click on the button on the title screen, it does not work correctly. my "start new game" location (type "event link") has a corresponding event with a "new game" engine call. I believe that brings up the event "Main", right? "main" is supposed to just teleport to my first map. but when i click the "start new game" link, it shows the name dialogue, says "loading data," and shows part of my map for a fraction of a second before quitting. no error message, no nothing. just as if it was supposed to.

what is a source file?

oh well i sort of figured out what's going on, it figures i solve it right after i post my question. i think it was something about the fact that i didn't put a "map position" action right before the "teleport" action of my "Main" event.
