Howdy AceOfAces!
Yeah I can see the code inside the index.html just fine. Code looks as normal

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
        <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black-translucent">
        <meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no">
        <link rel="icon" href="icon/icon.png" type="image/png">
        <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="icon/icon.png">
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/game.css">
        <title>Game</title>
    </head>
    <body style="background-color: black">
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/main.js"></script>
<div "background:black;position:fixed;left:0;right:0;top:0;bottom:0;z-index:-1;pointer-events:none;"></div>
    </body>
</html>

Nothing seems out of the ordinary.

Looking at the code, it appears that the script tag wasn't updated to load the correct file, resulting into a black screen. I'm looking into why this didn't get updated.

A bit of an update: as of right now, I wasn't able to replicate the issue. Could you please provide me a screenshot of the settings? Specifically, on the File Preparation tab.

Yeah sure thing. This is what is in the Asset Preparation Tab.

Assets Password is just 'abc123' for testing.

Using imgur because embedding pictures is giving me an error.

OK. I done a bit more digging. Turns out that my method of patching the html file (required so it can load the binary versions of the JS files) was error prone. I found a better alternative and I'm working to release a hotfix for it.

EDIT: The hotfix is out.

Howdy there! Apologies I been tinkering on other stuff the last few days! I'll give your hotfix a shot and let you know in this thread of anything else I run into! :D

Interestingly, this did not fix the issue I was having, however I did find the culprit after some a lot of testing with new projects, and different settings of RMCookTool.

With RMCookTool, you can go to Utilities > Edit Metadata > Essential Information and Presentation, and there is an option to input the 'Game ID', in my case, if it is named ANYTHING that is not 'rmmz-game' it will break the linking paths and cause the whole main.js is missing error.

It seems like this field is fine to leave as default, as when I leave it untouched, the game will launch and function just fine.
