Total Noob needs help.

Either I am completely lost or I'm missing a step. When I compile my game into a stand alone application and move the file away from its original folder the game loses some of its graphics. (mainly sprites)
I am using a extension in my project could this be the cause? When I compile the program it should hide all of the resources in the .exe correct? What am I doing wrong?

Hi, this does sound strange however its likely something very small. few questions...

What extension are you using?
Are you using MMF2?
Are you loading anything from external files?

I'm using the Mode7ex.
Yes.
Some of the graphics are fast loop objects.

I cannot modify the fast loop object since its part of the Mode7ex. I apologize if my understanding of the objects appears very limited as I am still very new to MMF2.

Here is what happens:

1) Game launched from inside MMF2. No issues.

2) Screenshot of my work in progress.

3) Result after compiling.

The sprite only appears if I keep the compiled version along with the extension and the marine sprite in the same directory as one another. Everything works fine in the project folder and if I move everything to the desktop as long as I keep those files together. What I want is for the entire project to be contained in the final compiled exe. Seems simple enough but I must have messed up somewhere?

Hmm very peculiar.

If you care to upload your mfa, I'll take a look at it. Most likely something simple...

Active Picture objects load graphics from external files. Use Active Objects for your sprites instead.
