Editor freeze (music)

Mew · Postby **Mew** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 4:43 pm

While experimenting with SMB X's options, I went into level properties and noticed a variety of music types to use. I went into the Misc section and clicked 'New SMB'... and the editor froze.

I don't think it was meant to do that. Any idea why it might have done so? (note: I have the Luna mod)

Hmm... maybe try to use SMBX without the usage of the LunaDLL and/or maybe change the NSMB Music itself to a different NSMB Music that is the same Theme but different Data or a lower Quality one. Just my thought since all of SMBX 1.3.0.1 MP3 Files has increased Qualities.

Tested it out and the behaviour is inconsistent. The editor does not crash if I load up another music file first. But if I go from 'none' to 'New SMB', the editor freeze.

That's weird for sure. I can only tell you one thing that try to copy the Music that crashes the Editor to the Level File where you want to play the Level with. Just a thought if the "Custom" Field works...

The Custom field does not seem to work. I've put in the filename, with and without extension, and when testing the level all I get is silence...

Make sure that you have to put ".mp3" at the end after the name itself since SMBX will be reconized like that. That counts the same as Level connecting as it needs ".lvl" at the end after the file for linking them properly.

Tried to do so... only to find out that the editor had frozen randomly. I think something might have went wrong with the installation. I'll uninstall it and re-install it...

If it still does that weird Error then try using "SMBX 1.3" instead of 1.3.0.1 since I still use 1.3 and I never had any trouble using it on my own PC but that could be just me.

I'll try that out if it crashes on me without the LunaDLL.

(the reason I wanted to try out LunaDLL was because it allow one to edit the main characters' size. Basically, I'm not too concerned regarding actual custom objects in the levels themselves since SMB X has plenty of really neat features already. What I really wanted LunaDLL for was to help with creating custom bosses.)

Bossy,i dont think it has to do with the Lunadll version of SMBX.
Anyways,try to Start SMBX with Admin rights or change its compatible Mode to xp.If that doesnt work,check if all dlls and music is available.

I've just tested it out after re-installing and using the base program without LunaDLL. The freeze issue has vanished. Now I'm going to see if the LunaDLL still crash the game...

EDIT: ... the base editor now crashes because of the opposite issue. If I set the music to something like Beach Bowl or New SMB and then try to set it to None, the editor lock up forever while the music keep playing on an endless loop.
