Resources
Sprites, backgrounds, sounds, etc. are always in high demand. On this page you will find
some resource packs created by me and others. The responsibility for the contents rests with the
creators. You can either download the installing version that automatically puts them in the
Game Maker folder, or as a zip file.
These resource packs are made for Game Maker version 6. They can though also be used with previous version. In that case though, during installation, you might want to change the install directory and program group. The first resource pack contains a large number of different sprites, sounds, and background that can be used in may different games. The second resource pack was created/collected by True Predator. The third resource pack contains a large number of different sprites, in particular a number by Primalmania, and some midi sounds. The fourth resource pack contains a large number of different sprites, background, icons, and loading images, all created by Morphosis. The fifth resource pack contains over 16 Game ID Packs, each consisting of Game Loaders, Highscore Screens, and Icons, all created by Morphosis. Only available as zip file.

Scripts and Extensions
Here you can find a some useful scripts and DLLs that extend the functionality of
Game Maker.
Support for Other Music Formats
Martin Rijks has made a DLL that extends the functionality of Game Maker
such that it can play MOD/S3M/XM/IT music files. The package has been completely
rewritten for version 6. It contains many extremely useful features, including
a packer for your music files.
It is very simple to use and opens many
new possibibilities for music in your games. The package can be used for free
although there are some licence issues if you want to sell your games. The
package includes two great demonstration programs, one being a MOD file player.
Download the package here. Don't forget to read the doc.
Database Scripts
Alasdair Forsythe has written a collection of scripts that can be used to add database support in
your games. It also includes many examples. (Has not been tested for version 6.)
Text-to-Speech
Nathan Sapwell has written a DLL that extends the functionality of Game Maker
to include text-to-speech. (I did not test it.)
