Weird, I tried running that as an admin earlier but it wouldn't work, but just now it did.
But now I'm getting that stupid automation error. Any ideas?

Any steps in readme are very important: Chinese standards and formats (your GUI still be in your native language), RIGHT bat-file under admin (check CP->System for 32 or 64 bit OS version), and also try run SMBX itself under admin (but also try the "Settings" and then self-checking).

Did all that, still got the error.

Are you tried to copy dll does manually?

Try to enable "2D/3D acceleration"

That's what I did originally - still got the error.

As far as I know, that's only something you can do in VirtualBox, which I'm not using.

Are your video card is supports Direct X 8? Are you have been installed Direct X?
Also note: Windows Vista is NOT supported because it has no Direct X 8 support

I know I disappeared for a while, but if this thing is legit, I'd love it if someone could post some images of the NPC or World Map tabs to see what they've added so far. I'd take a look myself, but I don't have much time to play with PGE or SMBX at the moment because of work.

The video in my first post actually shows everything, as for the world map, though, only "Custom Music" field was added. No new tiles, or sceneries.

This is sort of false, because world map items were added and global events (like disabling a Toad House after a Global Variable is set).

Oh okay I'll have a look. That video wasn't showing up last night because of my internet connection, but it appears to be showing now. Nice to see it isn't an elaborate troll though for once.

EDIT: Also if anyone feels like it, here's a modernized Fire Chomp sprite if anyone wants to give the first custom Fire Chomp graphic a run through. I do not know what it's actual sprite file looks like yet since I'm still downloading the 1.4.1 files but if you want to port it then by all means go ahead, just give credit.

Well, I actually didn't know that! It's nice to see that this long-awaited feature has been finally added though.

[Wohlstand]

Copied from PGE Thread on SMBX-org:

Everybody! I went to the SMBX 1.4.1's config file in the main folder, to change a faulty key-binding. But then I saw... "DisableHiddenFunctions=True". You can guess that I changed this to false. I started the level editor, and I got a message to the effect of "Congratulations! You have enabled the hidden functions! From now on, there is a 1% chance when you start the level editor that these hidden functions will reveal themselves!"...! After this, the game changed the variable to a hex string starting with C5.

If I change to Chinese standards and formats, will it screw anything up? Like, change to the Chinese calendar or something?

It won't screw anything up as such, it merely changes the date and a few other minor things to the Chinese format. It won't change the language you use on your PC to Chinese or anything like that. If it did you can simply change it back again anyway by selecting English or whichever language you normally use.

That said, if it worries you, you can simply change it when you wish to use 1.4.1 and back again once you finish, though I'm sure most people probably do this anyway.

If you want to see what it does to the date, here's a screenie.

Just two of 1000 glitches I found... (PD video is hidden):

SMBX 1.3 would have same bug with slopes, but I think, you already seen that springboard's animation is not right (even in the PGE Engine I was implemented that right and more similar [and even better] to SMBX 1.3), but water bubbles - are booster allows you jump into the space

Hi.
So, me and a friend (Arckali) are made a little program .bat to run SMBX for non-chinese PCs.
You must put smbx.bat in the SMBX folder, when you run it, it changes the region in chinese and start SMBX.
If you close it, your pc comes back in your region.

That's a great addition to have. At least until the region issues get sorted this will make using 1.4.1 more user friendly. I can't wait to test it out, great job Catskart!

If it actually works, Wohlstand should put the download link next to the download of SMBX 1.4.1 so those that want to use it can use it easier. I'm not using SMBX at the moment, but I suppose if it bets any better, I might look into it.
