Building the Modpack

Hello again, I have a question actually, is this step works for PSMD that I'm actually modifying or it is for DS games, because it doesn't show me the results of the build in the Output folder.

the tutorial up there wasn't very easy to understand also.

It should be for both.

Do you see any errors in the Errors window? And do you see the zip file (even if there's not a ROM or SD Card Folder)?

This step is actually pretty simple. The short version is "press a single button and watch while a bunch of stuff happens". I'll see if I can reword things to make that clearer.

Thanks for the report. I've posted a workaround in the intro guide, in step 5 of Downloading Sky Editor. I'll see if I can fix the root issue at some point.

What's happening is when a zip file is downloaded from the web, it's marked as coming from the internet. When Windows extracts the zip, that mark carries over to the dll files, which causes problems sometimes. The only reason I didn't encounter it is because 7zip doesn't carry over that mark.

Okay, I'll try again meanwhile

It has finished, all files are present, well everything worked, thank you for your help

What CFW are you using and what are you using to install it? Does it give an error message.

It might also be worth trying Luma 3DS's game patching. That's worked pretty reliably lately, for me at least.

It's been a while since I checked, but I think that's normal.

I use FBI to install cia apps and games and yes it gives an error message:

"Failed to install CIA file
Result code: 0xD8E08025
Level: Permanent (27)
Summary: Invalid argument (7)
Module: AM (32)
Desc: Invalid NCCH (37 )"

That's it, I don't know Luma 3DS's game patching, can you explain and tell me how to use it?

Using the latest version of Luma 3DS, ensure Game Patching is enabled in the settings menu, make sure Sky Editor creates the Luma 3DS LayeredFS output, then copy the contents of the SD Card folder in the output directory into the root of your SD card.

Sounds like the CIA's corrupt. Not sure what could cause that, since it works for me. I guess make sure you're using the latest version of FBI, and try recreating the CIA file, in case there was corruption when copying it or something.

Okay so I've done everything but there's still a problem, the game freezes right before the start menu but I can see the 3 colored pictures appear before that.
plus I think that in fact it's a region problem because before installing it with FBI I saw that the game region was european and australian. Do you think it can cause some trouble when the crash report said me a kind of "translation fail" ?

What region of PSMD are you using with Sky Editor, and what region is your console? I've tested the US and European versions on a US console with Luma 3DS, but I'd like to confirm.

It'd also help if you could send me the zip file that was in the modpack output folder. I just upped everyone's upload limits, so you shouldn't have any trouble uploading it as an attachment (it should be about 200MB in size).

I just tried now an european version of PSMD ( it's saying "fault status: precise external abort" this time. And I'm using an european OLD 2DS and Luma 3DS works.

Here's the modpack I created

ModPack_1.0.0.zip

Turns out the mods are interfering with each other. If all you want to do is change the starters (and get all the other patches that reduce glitches), you can delete all the projects except for the starter project. Or just extract that zip file, and uncheck everything except "starter" after giving it your ROM and before clicking Patch.

In the mean time, I'll work on making sure things don't interfere with each other: https://github.com/evandixon/SkyEditor.ROMEditor/issues/81

I tried the way you told me but it has crashed the same way as before, tomorrow I'll try to do the entire solution on the pc again.

thanks very much @evandixon for your hard effort to this mod i really appreciate the hard work you have done and put into this. 

i am going to use this mod in the future

thanks again man you are the best 

Finally seems to work ! A big thanks to @evandixon for your help and all the hard work you've done !

Is there anything in ~/Modpack/Output? If not, is there anything in the error window?

error window has a lot of stuff cant copy/paste it

Can you screenshot it? Simplest way is to use the Snipping Tool in Windows.

=155569 for more information is what the rest says & the screen shots are backwards

@Norvill Rodgers Try redownloading Sky Editor, making sure to unblock the zip file as described in the introduction. At the time of writing, that part starts at step 5.

ive unblocked it before extracting and i've tried re-downloading. i'll try again but i don't think it'll work

Hello - I am trying to do a background mod to Explorers of Sky.  To make it simple, I only changed the Nintendo logo screen with a very minor change so I could walk through the tutorial.  I cannot seem to get it to build.  I attached a picture of the new background for what it's worth.

Here is the error trace, looks like it needs a directory that is not there (path 2).  I went back through the tutorial a few times and didn't see anything where I should have  set a directory that I didn't.  I grabbed the latest build that was out there today (12/31/2018).  I did notice that it states "Sky Editor Beta 1.0.0.0" in the window title.  I am assuming that is the right one.

I am also confused regarding the stack trace.  What is up with the directories staring with "C:\BuildAgent...."  I don't have such a directory with the installation instructions.  Did I miss something?  Thanks!
