SOCedit problems - Freezes, doesn't recover - Quick fix found, solved for now.

[sonicfreak94]

Whenever I try to edit one of the thrown weapon "things" (ie THROWNBOUNCE, etc.), SOCedit just hangs there. For boredom purposes, I recorded a video:

Has anybody else encountered this? And is there an easy fix?

Thanks.

Nobody at all? >_>

Try to run SOCEdit as administrator.

(I experienced that error. I run it as adminstrator and it worked.)

Good luck for the fix.

I'm using the administrator account on Windows XP, and what you said didn't help. I'm assuming that could fix something else in say, Vista, but it didn't make a difference, as I'm already the administrator of this computer.

Nobody has any insight into this AT ALL? Not even any of the developers? Some reliable information would be appreciated here. I wouldn't dare go onto #SRB2Fun, because that doesn't ever get any answers.

Strangely i never saw this error before so i could not tell whats going on.
EDIT' Wow im I the only one who dont that frozin thing?

 

[sonicfreak94]

... Re-installing has NOTHING to do with it >_>
And you are not a source of reliable developer information, either.

You're not the only one with that problem. It freezes for me, too.

 

[K.S.]

Because of the WEAPON_SFX define, the SOC editor sees two entries corresponding to the thrown weapons' seesound. This trips it up, causing it to crash.

You all are lucky,I can't even open Edit Sounds,Edit Cutscenes,Edit Level Headers,Edit Things or Edit States.It tell me "Run-time error '53':File not found

That's easy. Extract the Source RAR and point SocEdit to the SRC folder

Thank you. Now my question is, will there ever be a fix for it?
(Even though it seems to be a source code problem...)

It's just kind of a temporarily solution but (if you do not use the directory for sourcecode modding) you could replace the info.c file inside your src folder with this one:

That seems to have worked, thanks. =D
