Just keep doing as many tutorials as you can, full on tutorials not code examples like Game State Management, like you said there is nothing there telling you whats what. Its just shows a bunch of code. Instead go to Ziggyware and try to do as many tutorials as you can even if they are not related to exactly what you are interested in (menus). ...

I'm not bitter that you bumped an old thread. But I am bitter in that it wasn't until one year later that I found a tutorial that properly explained how content can be compiled, read, and processed in Visual Studio, because as someone new I never would have asked if a bitmap was going to be complied or not. To me its a file sitting in a ...

you just bumped a year old thread. But since you did I will let you in on a secret I learned while doing one of Nick Gravelyn's tutorials. This is what all the Starter Kits fail to tell you. The XNA Framework Content Pipeline is a real piece of pickled pickyness, it's so picky I don't know everything about it becuase most of the ...

Basic Default Font.cs in RPG Starter Kit. I haven't changed any of the code. I started a RPG Template but I took out all of the content because I am going to add my own as I go.

Why is it that after some debugging operation xml files suddenly go 'bad' even though I have not touched the parent code or the xml file itself. Now in 3.0 my previous xml content read problems are gone - but are now replaced by new ones. ...

I've deleted - added - or deleted created new, just to kinda refresh or update it - either way I still get this error. If it was code ...

heh its there - in the solution - in the correct folder with all the other items, did you not see the xml example? does anybody else have (had) this problem?

trying to solve Content Load Exception was unhandled: Hey guys, using Visual Studio C# 2005 Express with XNA framework and the RPG starter Kit. Going into debug mode and I am getting this error After the game has loaded and after you press the Start Game key. Error loading "Gear\Items\MinorHealingPotion". from ...

Yeh man I've had similar problems. I was using the RPG kit. Eventually what I had to do was start a new RPG solution. Then go ahead and run it - in order for the compiler to generate the correct dlls. Then if ANY changes had to be made to any xml content this is the process I had to do it - doing it any other way resulted in deserialization ...
