I have looked through the game settings but can't find a way of changing the starting room. Have I missed something?There's probably a simple answer :(

In game editor, there are really no "Rooms". Its just 1 giant room. You can make seperate rooms by using Activation Regions, or a tile editor,
Do a GE search for a tile editor :D

Cheers Hblade. That was a quick reply. Probably got the terminology wrong, but I'm having a bash at a graphic adventure and I have a starting room/location or whatever you like to call it and suppose I decide to add an intro screen or something later, I will need to change where the game starts. Is this possible?

It's very easy! :D
Just drag the view where you want!
More closely, click the white lines that are the view, and drag it where you
want. :D

:lol:

Thanks Icl
That's a relief, I thought I'd have to re-write the entire game :D
It's that easy huh! I've never tried it.

Thanks a million

I tried it earlier. I don't know how I missed it. The view rectangle just drags to where you want it to go. Just started using GE again after a long lay off and trying to find my way round again.

Ok Hblade, I guess it wasn't all that clear. Thanks to you and IcI for your responses anyway. I'm attempting to make a point & click adventure and not having used GE for quite a while because of Vista issues am having to try and solve problems as I go along. I'm running GE on a netbook on Windows XP and it's a lot more stable than on Vista. Using the 1.39 version which up to now hasn't crashed or thrown up error messages. Might be needing a few more hints on the way so will probably be posting in the forum now and again.
Have a super day! :D
