Krakerman Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 You get this error if you have more than 19 emulators in the theme editor emu background saved. So you have to manually delete the files "Theme_Background_[name of the emulator]" for the theme editor to work again!Can we get this fixed?

Krakerman Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Also the other thing that the Theme Editor is lacking is to be able to stretch the width of the Object Browser window as it is too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Now when I try to load my theme up I get this error! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 With this error I can't load my theme into the editor??? This bug needs to be squished fast..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Well any ideas on a possible fix or solution to this issue?UPDATE!: Well I can get the theme to load now as I have to go in a manually delete the theme backgrounds that the theme editor creates too make room for more background editing. So it basically doesn't allow you to work on more than a dozen themes then you will have to delete the images or else the editor craps out.

headkaze Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Can you post your whole theme please? I need to to reproduce the bug. Leave any files that cause a crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 You can reproduce it with any theme all you need to do is enable the Custom Emulator Layouts and Custom Module Layouts and have over 20 background images and load the image into the object browser under the +Emu Background. When you have those 2 options enabled it creates all the emulator ini files for each emulator and then each time you load up the theme editor and try to load the background images with the +Emu Foreground images it seems to be to much for the Theme Editor to handle. You don't need my theme to reproduce it as anyone you have will do the same thing.You can use Draco's Sins of a Solar Empire theme and it will happen. Sorry Draco I just did myself as reproduced it as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 The other thing is it will create a duplicate image in the theme folder but rename them with 'Theme_Background' and 'Theme_Foreground' before the emulator name. Why? As you already have the image in that folder that you created already, but the Theme Editor creates it's own when you save the theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Note: You won't reproduce it unless you have a dozen or so emulators setup in GameEx and load each image in the theme editor. 3 or 4 won't cut it do more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headkaze Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Are you sure? I thought it could be the "Start Page Name" containing illegal filename characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Yes!Create a new them from BlueBox Mod v2 and change it to 1920x1080 and enable custom emulator/module layouts in the options then for each emulator in the theme editor load in a foreground image and background image then try saving it after 12 or so and see if you get the problem. It might happen before that many but you should be able to reproduce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 You can use Draco's Sins of a Solar Empire theme and it will happen. Sorry Draco I just did myself as reproduced it as wellWhatcha trying to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hahaha I'm just shocked that noone else has had any issues yet with the Theme Editor with all the theme making going on lately. I guess it's because I have so many emulators and using custom layouts I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 That could be. Once I get everything setup to my liking I will have around maybe 30 emulated systems tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 So did you re-produce the error or figure out what's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaUMi Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Yes!Create a new them from BlueBox Mod v2 and change it to 1920x1080 and enable custom emulator/module layouts in the options then for each emulator in the theme editor load in a foreground image and background image then try saving it after 12 or so and see if you get the problem. It might happen before that many but you should be able to reproduce it.Excuse me, this is that kind of topic in which I usually shouldn't have posted.... because my graphic skills are non-existent, otherwise I would have contributed somewise....This is what I did:1 - Loaded BlueBox v2 in the Theme Editor (never done before, it takes awhile to complete loading)2 - Tried to change resolution to 1920x1080, task never completed, I had an error (probably a .NET Framework error) and Theme Editor crashed.This confirms, in a way, what I was supposing the issue is to be: lack of resources.This is only an assumpiton, of course, an hypothesis. My laptop comes from 2006, so you can guess what...My suggestion is to lower down the resolution, just to see if you can handle the same number of background and foreground whitout crashes (12 or so, you say)....Post Scriptum: Nevermind if what I wrote makes no sense... Basically I have zero knowlege of Theme Editor and I base my assumptions only by common PC usage... Edited January 9, 2012 by AlphaUMi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Well thanks for trying it out.On that note the Theme Editor is suppose to be able to create 1920x1080 themes and I shouldn't have to downgrade to try to get my theme to work. My system is a modern one at that on par with Alienware type systems with a crap load of ram 16gb to say the least and a ATI 5870 video card so I would think my system should kick the crap out of anything I throw at especially this Theme Editor. So hopefully Ben can get the kinks worked out and get a fix out soon! or my theme will be dead in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaUMi Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Well, your system can treat Theme Editor as Notepad. As I said, mine was just an hypothesis. Nevermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
