Here's a chunk from a scene_init that runs a sequence then switches on a few nodes. The nodes come up fine in the debug version, but not when the code is compiled. Makes no sense to me, so I'm going to us an alternative way of doing it (window) but I thought it might be of interest.

Code: [Select]

// setup scene according to state variables
Game.SetCursor("sprites\system\RhiannonCursors\NoCursor.png");
global InventoryOn = false;
global AllowEscape = false;
Game.PlayMusicChannel(0,"scenes\00_Intro\Intro01\DistantStorm.ogg",true);
var an = Scene.GetNode("an");
an.AlphaColor = MakeRGBA(255,255,255,0);
var logo = Scene.GetNode("logo");
logo.AlphaColor = MakeRGBA(255,255,255,0);
var prod = Scene.GetNode("prod");
prod.AlphaColor = MakeRGBA(255,255,255,0);
var sell = Scene.GetNode("sell");
sell.AlphaColor = MakeRGBA(255,255,255,0);
var video = Scene.GetNode("video");
video.Active = true;
video.PlayTheora("scenes\99_Credits\CreditsMovie.ogg", false);
while(video.IsTheoraPlaying() == true)
  {
  Sleep(20);
  }
video.Active = false;
var f;
an.Active = true;
for(f = 0; f < 256; f = f + 5)
  {
  an.AlphaColor = MakeRGBA(255,255,255,f);
  Sleep(40);
  }
logo.Active = true;
for(f = 0; f < 256; f = f + 5)
  {
  logo.AlphaColor = MakeRGBA(255,255,255,f);
  Sleep(40);
  }
prod.Active = true;
for(f = 0; f < 256; f = f + 5)
  {
  prod.AlphaColor = MakeRGBA(255,255,255,f);
  Sleep(40);
  }
Sleep(2000);
sell.Active = true;
for(f = 255; f > -1; f = f - 5)
  {
  an.AlphaColor = MakeRGBA(255,255,255,f);
  logo.AlphaColor = MakeRGBA(255,255,255,f);
  prod.AlphaColor = MakeRGBA(255,255,255,f);
  sell.AlphaColor = MakeRGBA(255,255,255,255-f);
  Sleep(20);
  }
Sleep(2000);
// Following lines run in debug mode but NOT in compiled version
var p;
p = Scene.GetNode("b_play");
p.Active = true;
var r;
r = Scene.GetNode("b_rep");
r.Active = true;
var e;
e = Scene.GetNode("b_end");
e.Active = true;
// Execution resumes from here
Game.SetCursor("sprites\system\RhiannonCursors\Cursor_ball.png");
Game.SetMousePos(515,645);
Game.Interactive = true;

Enable error logging in the compiled game, see if the log contains any errors.

I found out what this is.

Scene Nodes may not respond to anynode.Active=true or anynode.Interactive=true if they are sprite entities that either have no picture assigned to them, or they contain a transparency just as a graphic file (eg. a .PNG in 'Wintermute pink' 255/0/255). For a scene node to be both transparent and active, its transparent graphic should be loaded in the form of a sprite, with 'Pixel Precise' deselected.

Took me a while to figure that one out, but it makes sense, and this selectable pixel precision is just one more useful feature of this wonderful engine.
