Error Reports

[Daddy Poi's Oily Gorillas]

Actually, erase the spaces in filename theory... I did a little more testing..

Errors at:
C:\Users\charleysdrpepper\Desktop\Treasure Trove\Golden Sun\Golden Sun.gba
C:\Users\charleysdrpepper\Desktop\Golden Sun.gba

No errors at:
C:\Users\charleysdrpepper\Desktop\GoldenSunTLA_Editor_v0_4\Golden Sun.gba (and the ROM still had a space in it.)

I think I know why now, it's because current directory was where the editor was.

[Atrius (He/Him)]

I'm not getting errors no matter where I place it.

What errors exactly are you getting?

[Rolina]

Same, I don't get those errors.  What else is going on?  Your OS might be a factor, or maybe there was a hiccup when you saved the zip file.

[Daddy Poi's Oily Gorillas]

I have Vista.

Here are all the errors I get when I load the ROM via that errored method.

There are more errors passed that...

[Rolina]

There's many versions of Vista.  You'll need to be more specific.

[Atrius (He/Him)]

So, basically you created a shortcut to the editor, and your "Open with..." link points to the shortcut instead of the .exe file.

[Daddy Poi's Oily Gorillas]

No shortcuts...

Okay, here it is..

[Rolina]

Hmmm, odd, that's more or less what I use.  Double check to make sure it's not a shortcut, you may have overlooked it.  Also, where is it in comparison to the rom?

[Atrius (He/Him)]

Hmm... I managed to recreate the errors, still not sure what exactly the cause is though.

[ScottTheAdept]

It appears that this, bug i should say, happens with any patch from v0.3 as I see it... try the Mars Clan hack patch Atrius... thats pretty much what i was working on.

[Daddy Poi's Oily Gorillas]

I think I know why now, it's because current directory was where the editor was.

Ah. Actually, I think I had one thing backwards. I believe curdir was actually at the ROM. I failed to notice before, but all them errors had to do with the language.ini file.  I thought Atrius fixed it so it'd use the one in the editor if it failed to get data from the ini file?

I tried moving language.ini to in the same folder as the ROM... and can get it to work. but there seems to be one case where it doesn't work. (Like if I click the ones in the Recent list under Open With, instead of clicking the "Choose Default Program..." button.

I am pretty sure that they are not shortcuts, afterall, I am doing this via the folders, so I can see File Types. (and there are no shortcut arrows on the icons.)

This is a bit complicated...

P.S. - This also reminds me of a similar issue Salanewt and I had with our own editor once before.

[Rolina]

...Forgive the bump please.  I'm trying to see if I can see this in the list after I post, because right now I can't.

Edit:  There it is!  Sorry about that.  It didn't show up on the topic list, only the newest posts.  Had to fix that.

[Atrius (He/Him)]

It's a problem that's been plaguing the editor since v0.1, it has to do with the way that GameMaker handles .ini files.



@ScottTheAdept, I'm not experience the problem you were having with the patch you uploaded.  Try this, in VBA go to "Options" > "Emulator" and uncheck "Automatic IPS patching" then reload the ROM that wouldn't start up.  If that doesn't fix the problem, then make sure that when you're creating your patch you do it with the broken ROM, and a copy of TLA that has never been modified.  Attach it to your post here by clicking on "Additional Options..." at the bottom of the posting form.

[ScottTheAdept]

Sorry that was the wrong patch... Here is the problem one. Try to open that one in vba.

[Atrius (He/Him)]

Ah, I see.  It's the editor's fault, but nothing is being corrupted.  I'll have a fix out soon.

[ScottTheAdept]

Glad I could help.

[Rolina]

Strangest thing happened to me.  I'm using Editor Version 0.4_01

I did some testing to see what animations looked like what in my normal test file... I went to close it.  Would you like to save?  No.

this is what it said

edit: its version 0.4_01

[Rolina]

Lol Role had a saVe fail! hahahahahahahaha get it because it's save... anyways is 0.41 on said page? http://forum.goldensunhacking.net/index.php?topic=1.0

This IS 0.4_01, genius.  Read the first line of my post.

[Atrius (He/Him)]

I'll look into this bug when I have the time later tonight.

anyways is 0.41 on said page?

Technically by my version numbering conventions it would be .4.0.1  (Right click the .exe, click properties, and look at the file details)


Also, why is everyone still using .4 fix 1 anyway?  It contains a bug that can cause your ROM not to boot, upgrade to fix 2.
