Short answer:
You overwrote something.

Long answer:
"Something" is the room header. Possibly header of the room 791F8.



And let me guess... No backups, right? I can tell you how to fix this (if you have no backups), but some work in hex editor required.

Yes and no. It was doing it on a rom I was Working on. Then I tried redownloading a fresh rom with and applying project base to it. When working on a room it is alright to work over the room number as long as you dont save on it right?  I was being careful dont know what may of happened.

Quietus

As far as I know, yes, you can use as much data as you like if you're not going to save the room.

Losing the will to live, tried different roms, redownloaded SMILE and patches. I just want to start again lol!

Do you get the same error with SMILE JX?  Have you tried the pre-patched version of Project Base on Grime's site?

Used that and works a charm, new problem tho, was editing a room and the enemies are going crazy about the map, one corner of the room causes severe lag and even crashes. Nothing particular about that corner. Having a mare. How do I go about creating a lunar ips patch. Maybe I could upload it and someone could take a look. Perhaps there is too many enemies in the room. there seems like a lot. I didnt add any tho.

EDIT. forgot to change enemy traits. problem solved

Dedicating this thread to the many errors I am going to find on my journey. I will search for a soloution first :P.

Edited a room like usual, changed enemies to Skree, altered stats so they can be in the room and BAM, not working. Working in project base. Literally have checked and double checked values and nothing is helping. :(

Are they in the enemy allowed list?

Yeah. You're trying to open Hyper Metroid!
0x7C438 is the location of the ASM for the varia suit event in my hack. If you want to edit it easily, apply this. It'll turn all of the rooms with custom events unopenable by SMILE into E669: Power Bombs 1.

Room AF14 has been changed to AF13 in order to add an event so you'll have to edit your mdb to get into that one.

Oh, and don't use the enemy in the top left corner of the room. It crashes the game. Just leave it alone.

Hope that helps. Please be straight about it if you're using my work.

I see, yea I was trying to have a wee nosey inside Hyper a few days ago and was succesful without that patch. But when I tried to reopen the mod I was working on I kept getting the same error, smile usally reopens last opened rom I guess. Only when I downloaded a fresh PB rom would the error go away lol. Any ideas on room 7d3b6? thats were my skrll wont work.

Edit: found Soloution or well the problem anyway, Them enemies are not allowed in mardia rooms then? they work elsewhere, :(
