That's great to hear, thanks!

I've been working mostly by myself so far, with some tutorials to help me figure out and learn more on specific things to do for my game.
Though I'm wondering whether it's acceptable to ask or get helps with some of my problems like on Reddit for example, though I'm concerned whether this would be disallowed or not as I can see how some people might choose to only get help without learning much or at least retaining the information/anwser to their problems. I.e; working without actually doing much and just leaving it to random strangers online, and I don't think I have to tell yous why this may be against the spirit of the jam.

However, if it's just from time to time, we're stuck on figuring out why this specific code doesn't work for hours and hours, or it's learning about something that isn't entirely clear on manuals/videos otherwise. Would the use of outside help on these cases be relatively okay so long as we make the effort to implement things in our own way?

Again it was just in case, but yeah it's most likely fine maybe.

There's probably no need to ask this, just in case though.
Would it be okay for me to use Gamemaker Studio 2 for the Jam? Just because I don't see it on the jam board.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much!

I had actually stopped using it since it hadn't entirely kicked in at the time so it didn't show me the problem, until now when I tried reinstalling it once more. And now it had shown me the problem! :D

Turns out I apparantly had the smart idea at the time to test making my own dialect for it despite not knowing how to do so and without adding a whole lot other then reference code from the roa dialect from earlier, knowing this now makes me feel very stupid. Still at least this will help others with more serious error issues, which I respect very much.

Sorry also that I hadn't given thanks a lot earlier, keep up the great work all the same!

I think this is right? Clicking the top snippet sent me to the code that I've highlighted here. within the if statement for dir.

var gml_GmlVersion = function(name,dir,isCustom) {
    this.isReady = false;
    this.name = name;
    this.dir = dir;
    this.isCustom = isCustom;
    if(dir == "api/none") {
        this.config = gml_GmlVersionConfigDefaults.get(true);
    } else if(Electron_API != null) {
        this.config = JSON.parse(Electron_FS.readFileSync(dir + "/config.json","utf8")); <--- Here
    } else {
        this.config = gml_GmlVersionConfigDefaults.get(name == "v2");
    }
};

Also I did try checking for if there was anything wrong within AppData to try and remove, but I either couldn't find it or that it's within a more complicated file I'm not aware of. In which case which folder would I find the outdated/malformed dialect in AppData? The only thing I can probably think of is that the RoA api I mentioned earlier being somewhere in my steam folders or something might be adding to the issue but I'm not sure if that's really relevant or not, unless it automatically tracks for dialect's or api's from previous versions maybe.

So I went to the sources tab to do what you said and had it watch through, and I get the what I assume is on of the variables being "self". And hovering over or around it shows me different other functions of sorts, I'm not entirely sure what I should be looking for or if this "self" is the answer (Or if I'm doing this right). By malformed custom language do you mean a different set of dialects? (Like the Rivals of Aether dialect/api since I did get that at one point and added it in the api files, which isn't there now considering the redownloads) Or do you mean mistypings/grammatical errors or maybe that athis self thing is the one affecting the functions in some strange way.

I should also mention that when I clicked the error links to take me to where it seems to be having trouble and it tells me it's within the app.js file, which has the mention of self on one or two of them. so maybe that is where it's being stopped at? If you'd like I can give you screenshots of highlighted pieces of code on where it says the errors may be.

I think I got the error thing in the console, does this mean anything to you? Maybe a bug?

Tried to redownload the editor to try and update it, and while it probably wasn't very wise since you seem to have given that option in the download page, it didn't seem to be too much bother if I did. However now everytime I open it, it keeps saying it's "Starting Up" and showing a white area that I can type in and yet it's completely stuck. It also wouldn't close correctly, I couldn't just click the X on the window itself or even minimize it, the only way to close it is by hovering my mouse on it in the task bar and clicking the X there.

Worst of all now everytime I try to download it once again (three four times now I think) I still experience the same problems, I even tried updating my graphics drivers and still nothing. If it's due to an update that's understandable I suppose, if not though then how can I fix it? Maybe it's something to do with Electron but I don't know. :/
