"Run-time Error '53': File not found"?

Postby HooDooYouThink » Wed Jul 20, 2016 6:14 pm

Hi, I'm new to the forums, and I've played SMBX in the past, then left it. Then after a while I came back to it (which is now) and wanted to try it out again. However, when I try to start the game, it says, "Run-time error '53': file not found." Can anyone help me? I really want to play.
Sorry if this is a stupid question. I haven't played SMBX in a long time. Thanks in advance.

On which folder aka files or when does it trigger the "File not found" error? Also do you have anything missing relative to your SMBX datas?

No, it doesn't seem like I'm missing anything, but since I'm not sure, if possible send a picture of what the files should look like? Not all, but the main ones.

You have some folders.
battle - contains all the battle levels and custom GFX
graphics - contains all GFX. background, background2, npc, mario, luigi, toad, peach, link, player, tile, scene, path, block, yoshi, and level.
music - has all music files.
sound - has all sound effects.
world - all the downloaded episodes are here, including the invasion, and cliche.
config.cfg and some dll and important files.
THE .EXE - The smbx.exe is used to open the program.

You might have the folders or files missing, the program is corrupted, or the filenames/.gif names are altered or changed.

Try re-downloading the program.

Nope. Just leave it to rot. Btw, don't ever ask Mods/Admins to lock answered H&S topics, it's against the rules I'm pretty sure
