Screenshots of the "messages that have numbers"? |
| Billiards Koopa Posts: 170/174 |
Whenever I try to use the text editor I get an endless chain of messeges that have numbers. |

Has anyone encountered the room after the E in the sloping hall after the bombable wall to lock up when entering, or do I have to just reput in another rom to see if it does it again? |

I finally got it to work. it seem's like winzip 10.0 has a problem unzipping stuff correctly I just now used winrar and it worked out better. thanks for the help and sorry for the mix the up. |

Black screen as soon as you start the game, or after you've selected to start a new game? I've heard of this from one or two other people as well, though rare. Do a test with that being the ONLY change to the rom. If it still fails, let me know and I'll find a more stable way of doing this. |

I'm assuming un-checking the box that says "Show Intro", disables the opening cinematics and the Ceres Station Part. But when I go to play my edited rom, I get a black screen.
Anybody else run into this problem? |

Open App.Path & "\files\backups\clean_rom\CLEAN_000.SMC" For Binary As #1
^--- First line of executed code in SMILE. What's it do? Checks to see if that file exists or not. No error, unless the folder doesn't exist. My guess is that you have one of those unzipping programs that fails to unzip empty folders. Make sure you have: \files\backups\ \files\backups\clean_rom\ \files\backups\killed\ \files\temp\ |

Yes Jathys.... everytime I run the program BAM! that error message appears and no it does not ask for the rom. |
| Jathys Posts: 12/32 |
MadMike: That tells me what path it is, but I still don't know when the pop-up is appearing. Is it *immediately* as you start the program? Did you ever get asked for the clean rom? Is is when you choose the rom you will edit? etc.... |

Jathys does this help out any it doesn't matter where I extract it I still get the same problem. I never had a problem with the other versions of smiles. |

Something most people don't realize (because most people don't read) . . . Check your SMILE folder . . . See "Lunar Compress.dll" in there? There's a reason. SMILE uses the same DLL for decompression/compression and IPS's. |

...domino effect...
1) Room freeze ups - SMILE does some messed up stuff sometimes and this happens, sadly. If you had edited a few rooms, but had been openning/closing SMILE at all, you should have some back-ups . . . Never a better time to test out the recovery system than when you only have a little bit changed:-D 2) JTE.ips - This doesn't exist yet. I've got most of the ASM done for this and only need to put in some dummy graphics for most of the text to work. Still a bug or two to work out though. The patch should be available with SMILE's next release (possibly before). 3) Path Not Found - When exactly is the error popping up? Have you seen the box coming up asking for the clean rom? Have you seen the box thanking you for it after? What about asking for the ROM you wish to edit? I'm guessing it happened immediately upon starting the program and before anything else popped up though . . . Only things that come to mind right now...... You unzipped all the contents? What folder did you unzip them to? If there are any unusual characters in the path (or an unusually long path) there might be a conflict of some sort. Don't know too much of what to tell you, except that I can troubleshoot more with answers to those questions. |

I've have a small problem I getting this error message when trying to execute smile 1.0: runtime error 76 path not found. any idea what might be the problem ? I extracted the files in my documents but it still won't work right. |
| BOBTHEVILA Posts: 54/119 |
hey I noticed another, after you get the bombs and blast the wall and head down the slope, wherer you get the E, when I enter the next room after this room even though I edited nothing in it, it locks up and don't proceed to it.
Also where is the JTE.ips for the text engine in the text editor at? |
| Jathys Posts: 9/32 |
A bug in the text editor has been pointed out to me.
I've decided that I must move the location of torizo.ips (for anyone who's using it already, sorry... I'll make an undo patch for you if needed). Gravity and Varia now appear as they should (Item/Value). ^--- All this is leading me to believe that I'll be doing version 1.1 sooner than expected (say, in a week or two). |

Well LM is the only good SMW editor, just cause it's powerfull and can do everything in one thing don't meen it's "do my hack for me". |

>and has no "do my hack for me" button.
Believe it or not though, this has been recommended to me on several occassions  Don't worry, it's not coming.
As for being anti-n00b, that's not true . . . For instance, (everyone should do this, at least once) in Preferences, try to disable BackUps. |
