How can I connect to the game without calling a script gms_login_set username (name)
Size43 (Administrator) on 7 Dec 2015, 11:29:02
After calling gms_settings the game will connect to the server. You'll be able to use features like GameINIs, viewing highscores and BDBs without being logged in. If you want to use variables and see other players, you'll have to login somehow. For example, you could generate a random number as username for every player (please make sure to save and re-use that name though, otherwise you'll be creating a million new usernames on the server)

I've been working on a new style for the login page. I've completely reworked it but I can't seem to apply a text stroke to the textboxes css. Is there any way I can do this?
Size43 (Administrator) on 9 Mar 2015, 13:04:12
What kind of stroke? Keep in mind the system uses the rendering functions of GameMaker itself, so it's limited to the text drawing functions GameMaker has. If you need something advanced, you could pre-render it as an image, and include the image in the window.

An outline around the text, similar to this:http://themetaq.com/images/uploads/articles/illustrator-tips/stroke/illustrator-text-stroke-1.jpg. I have a script that I am using at the moment for it within gamemaker. But I was thinking it might be better to utilize the CSS within the login style, such as one of these:http://www.quirksmode.org/css/stroke.html.

Nevermind, figured it out. Thanks anyway.

You can add the D&D action to show the login screen or call gms_show_login to show the screen again.

Hey, i used your system and i having a problem, when i start the game, log in, then i quit the game After the login, then i start the game again it says "Player limit is reached". why is this happend?

Hey -- There were some issues with a very popular game that prevented other players from logging in to the game because of server overload. This should now be resolved, and you should be able to login again. Please seehttps://gamemakerserver.com/en/status/ for the server status. NOTE: Logins might still be allowed if the load is over 100%. Please see the "Minimal number of players that can login when it's busy on the server" upgrade on the developer section of the site. By default, this is set to 6 players.

You can now also donate to get "Supporter Access", which will allow you to login any time regardless of server load. This will *not* reduce the limit for everyone else, and if enough people donate I can even increase the server capacity to get as many of you on as possible. There's a link on the status page I linked above, if you're interested.

It is happening to me also since 2 or 3 days ago. Also, sometimes the server doesnt send the error description. I suposse It is happening because of the server is full of people in these days.
