Talk with Horikawa

<Shroom> I can't proceed from Episode 1 to Episode 2 in MaGLX2, because for some reason my stars are not carried over when entering the Section 9 door from Episode 1
while for raocow it worked out
what could be the problem?
<Horikawa> huh?
that's very strange
i honestly couldn't tell you....
do you have a MAGLX2Data file?
<Shroom> is the "butts" folder relevant in any way?
I removed that one actually (because I supposed it to be something joking)
<Horikawa> it is
it is relevant to the postgame
<Shroom> why did it actually have to be split into halfs?
oh wait I guess the issue is the following: the two halfs are both saved into the worlds folder separated from each other
<Horikawa> yes it did
at the time, there was a 200 warp cap
now that's been expanded
but we also use a huge variety of bgos, etc.
<Shroom> so I can just put both folders in a new one and I'm fine I guess
<Horikawa> huh?
no they need to be structured like they are in the distribution
<Shroom> well I re-extracted the thing from the rar file and put it under "MaGLX2 V1.0" in "worlds" and now I can't access it
<Horikawa Otane>
you need to put the folders MaGL X2 Episode 1, MaGL X2 Episode 2, and butts into the worlds folder
<Shroom> so it was just "butts" that was missing
to carry the stars over
<Horikawa> i have no clue why you're having that bug
<Shroom> well we'll see what happens if "butts" makes a difference
<Horikawa> it shouldn't/won't
if you look in the data/worlds folder
do you see a bunch of txt files?
<Shroom> the only .txt I see is "npc-23.txt" and some lua stuff
also since you say that today the episode wouldn't need to be split, would it be easy to merge both episodes together? and if so, could I transfer the .sav file after downloading it and preserve my progress that way?
still doesn't work
can you please screenshot the txt files that are relevant?
<Horikawa> which version of smbx are you using?
2.0 beta 3, right?

<Shroom> those appear nowhere in my worlds folder so that's obviously why
<Horikawa> are you using SMBX 2.0 Beta 3?
<Shroom> yes
download for those separately pls?(edited)

<Shroom> not sure if you got that right, I asked for some zip with the LuaData files only
<Horikawa> i mean they'll overwrite your save data
my guess is, you copy/pasted smbx 2.0 beta three OVER either beta 2 or an existing smbx install
OR one of the two thing is occurring
1) You are playing in a very bizarre path with either lots of foriegn characters or a period in the path
2) You are playing on some ancient thing like Windows XP
or a third, actually
3) You are playing in some path where you don't have full write permisssions
<Shroom> why will the luadata files override my safe? Can't I just transfer the .sav file?
<Horikawa> no?
<Shroom> my path is actually C: --> Users --> [family name] --> Desktop --> SMBX 2.0 Beta 3, so possibly a path without full writing permission
and the thing is Windows 7, so semi-ancient
