Hi Happymug, i've just bought your asset from yoyo, looks promising, but once I start debuging and playtesting, looks like there is no collision and everything falls through the solid ground. I tried enabling "solid" on all relevant objects, as well as enabling physics but the results are still the same :) started looking through your code how do you control gravity and collissions, and do you use GMS built-in physics and col, or custom?
collission compatibility mode - found it :D ha
Hi! Sorry for the delay reply. Yes, that was the problem for sure and I am glad you were able to get it working!
I bought this on the market place but when I import it, only has half of what was in the demo, please help.
Hi! are you downloading the project from the yoyo marketplace website? If that's the case, try downloading it from GameMaker Studio 2. For some reason some users are getting an older version if they download it from the website.
Will do, I'll update you when I get home and check it it out thanks.
UPDATE: Download through the IDE and it works perfectly, thank you. 😊
Fantastic, no problem!
UPDATE 2: Problem fully resolved. Yoyo updated the IDE and fixed the issue with importing marketplace assets. Happy Mug repackaged the asset and everything imports fine now. Thank you to Happy Mug for the great communication throughout the process.
Purchased the asset but have not been able to import it using GM's built-in marketplace manager. It downloads fine but after pushing the import button it gives an error message: "Failed to verify the package".
UPDATE: Happy Mug has provided a solution. The error is on YoyoGames' side and the author has provided a temporary workaround till Yoyo fixes the issue with the marketplace. Thank you, Happy Mug.
I checked all the other marketplace assets I have and they import fine through the built-in manager.
Any idea how to resolve this?

I apologize that you are facing this issue. I contacted yoyogames a few days ago and they said it is a known issue and that it should be fixed in the next update. Please contact me at happymugstudio@gmail.com from the email account you have associated with your yoyogames account and I will give you an export that will work. Thank you!
Thanks for the quick response! My apologies for the multiple communications, I wasn't sure how reliable the marketplace contact form was.
I appreciate your prompt reply. I'll follow up via email as requested. Thanks again!
I'm just glad I was able to help!
Yoyogames just released a new version for the GM IDE, I have re-packaged the game and uploaded it to the Marketplace, the issue seems to be resolved from the yoyogames side. Thank you!
Yessir, everything works fine now! Imported successfully via the built-in marketplace manager. Thanks for the timely update and providing the asset!
Thanks! For a great engine and support!
Thank you, any time!
