pacgreg Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I get this problem occasionally and I keep forgetting what to do to fix it, I included the game I'm working on that is already giving problems at every $FC. If anyone could tell me what the problem is or what causes it, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg I think you forgot to include your code, but the two most likely reasons I can think of are that (1) you didn't specify the player1colors kernel option (you can't use the playercolors option by itself, you must also use player1colors), or (2) you're saying playercolors in the actual statement instead of player0color. It should look something like this: set kernel_options player1colors playercolors player0color: $FC end player1color: $CE end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaGtGruff Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Looking at RandomTerrain's bB page, I see that you'll also need to specify either the pfcolors option or the pfheights option when using player1colors and playercolors, as you can't use just player1colors and playercolors in combination by themselves. So if you want to use playercolors, you must use either set kernel_options player1colors playercolors pfcolors or set kernel_options player1colors playercolors pfheights Of course, you can also include other options, as long as the combinations are valid. I recommend bookmarking RandomTerrain's bB site and referring to it often whenever you're writing a bB program: http://www.randomterrain.com/atari-2600-memories-batari-basic-commands.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacgreg Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) Oh wow I didn't actually attach it. Good job Greg. I'm trying to use DPC+ so I don't think its player0colors or kernel options that are causing problems. rocket battle.bas Edited September 20, 2013 by pacgreg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you looked at this section yet: http://www.randomterrain.com/atari-2600-memories-batari-basic-commands.html#dpcplus The main problem is that you're not using banks. rocket_battle_2013y_09m_20d_1659t.bin rocket_battle_2013y_09m_20d_1659t.bas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacgreg Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Ok updating to the newest vbb fixed it, this is the project I'm working on with my other computer so I didn't have the right vbb or my DPC+ template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
