Config Problem

[Squishy Rex]

Error message
Cannot create level file:
because object configurations are not loaded
Please check that the config/SMBX directory exists and contains the INI files with object settings.

The directory exists, and is correct because it runs SMBX 1.3, however I can't make a new level, world map, NPC editor or even open any existing stuff. That message appears when I try to do so. Have I not done something correctly?

Check the [ Tools -> Configuration manager -> Config status] and look into errors tab and into directories tab

You should have this tree:
configs/SMBX/main.ini
configs/SMBX/data/graphics/
configs/SMBX/data/graphics/level
configs/SMBX/data/graphics/level/blocks
configs/SMBX/data/graphics/level/background

Ah, I think I just solved the problem, for some reason the NPCs and Effects were missing from the config file. Rather odd, but I'll add them from SMBX's data files and that may have fixed the problem.

EDIT: No that didn't fix anything.

You can edit the main.ini and your "data/graphics" will be SMBX-styled:

this is a SORTED STYLE (Level, World an character graphics placing separatelly)

Code: Select all

graphics-level="graphics/level"
graphics-worldmap="graphics/worldmap"
graphics-characters="graphics/characters"


this is a BEEHIVE STYLE (all GFX folders in one united dir, and you can simply copy SMBX's graphics into data/ dir for use)

Code: Select all

graphics-level="graphics"
graphics-worldmap="graphics"
graphics-characters="graphics"


but don't forget, you should have "data/graphics/common" folder, which have a built-in graphics of SMBX which I will use in the engine part

Ok, I've sorted the problem. I believe the SMBX Full Config mustn't have downloaded properly, which caused this to happen. In any case thanks Wohlstand.
