SMBX-Overflow Error

I think this error is because I put too much stuff in a level(though it's a really big level compared to the amount of stuff placed in it), but I'm not sure, most of what I placed are background items to go along with the saw blade NPC. I just want to know how to fix this, and what is causing this in case I'm wrong.

Atmosphir story and ideas for more Creepypasta

Does anyone know if it's possible to create a creepypasta such as Lost Silver or Ben Drowned. Or is it like a meme, which I heard can not be created. Does anyone even know what a creepypasta is? I have gotten a few ideas for these creepy stories, and had wrote one on this one site called Atmosphir, when I had first learned about CreepyPasta. Has anyone hear wrote anything along the lines to a creepypasta, anything like it?

This is the story I wrote:

author=pyroboom
"Done!", John told himself, as he finished his first Atmosphir level. It was the normal beginners' level, incredibly short, not much professional gameplay and it seemed very broken. Really, John did not care, he just looked happy as can be to have at last made a 3D game...or at least a level for a game. John went to play test, and began playing. He seemed quite happy with it, till' he saw something he never expected. It looked like another player, except with incredibly horrible animations, glitchy, and it was black and white almost. It looked strange, also. It was the perfect look for such an imperfect model for a game. John was very confused, "Um...what the heck is that? I do not remember placing that in my level!"
The thing began to attack him as he was trying to run away, then Atmosphir shut down, after John got out of the level. John got back into Atmosphir, and looked at one level in the level browser. The level was named "Block", the creator was JJ849, which was John's username. He went into the level, wandering what had happened, only to see he was trapped in a black box. He did not even start at a start flag. The monster was back, and was continually killing him. John jumped out of his seat when he saw the thing again, and clicked out of Atmosphir. He went into the files, and found something called,"Hero", it was strange to see such a normal name after such crazy things occurred. He looked at the properties, and found that the file was last used when he got out of Atmosphir. He looked up some videos, and realized that Hero was originally made for the beta of Atmosphir, as a way to test the game engine out. He wandered what had happened ever since. Every day, every night he wanders how the file came back into the game, with such strange affects. Was it a glitch? Did someone edit the version of Atmosphir he had? He looked around for clues, and the only things he could find were stories on suicides because of video games, and the words "hero" on some windows, walls, and doors, spelled in blood. The houses were owned by parents of Atmosphir users. John looked into the files again, one day, and remembered a strange tune that played during the level,"Block", it sounded so glitchy, it made a game crashing seem like the designers meant for it to happen. He found the file, and put it into his a music editing software.
John played the track, checking the pitches, the volume, and if there were any backward messages in it. Nothing. The only thing he did not do, was check the frequency. He looked at the frequency, and in the middle of the song, he saw Hero. It made the creepiest noise when the frequency picked up the image of such a strange being in a song. It did not do anything, maybe because it was just a picture in a song. but then, John went into Google Chrome, with the song still playing, went into the Atmosphir forums, and made a new topic. He typed incredibly slowly, every bit of info he had found. The last thing he typed was,"I'm going to kill myself."
The next day, his parents looked at the computer, and saw blood near the computer chair. They looked at the screen, to find the words "Hero will die", on the screen. The mother looked on the floor, while the father still stared at the screen. The mother started patting her husband, crying because of the sight. The father looked down at his son...
He had a bloody hole in his head.


Some people on the site was actually scared.
Seeing this is the place to post our creative works, I felt I could post this here.
I do have ideas for more, including Mario 64, a story on some beta games, ect.

Have any ideas...


BTW, maybe I could write horror stories instead of creepypasta...if I even did so anyway...


Edit:by the way, for some reason this thing glitched up, some of these show hide buttons aren't suppose to be here, and it looks strange...

RTP NPCs vs. Custom NPCs vs. Ripped NPCs

We can all agree that Custom NPCs are the best, but to what point? Custom characters are better than the cliche Alex and his group of four traveling through RTP land, but when you have nothing to work with sometimes you had to do that, wasn't that what it was like back when 2000 and 2003 came out. Now there are sites for people who need sprites, and people who can make sprites for you, but sometimes I swear that certain sprites look so much alike, that they could be from the same person, or from one of those sites where thousands of people are downloading the same sprite. Could custom and ripped sprites soon become cliche, have they already become?

The reason why I'm asking this is for your opinion, in what ways can RTP characters and tilesets come out on top vs. customized characters and some from other games. My RPG maker 2k3 game shows both Customized main characters and RTP NPCs, mixed with edited RTP tilesets. Does this sound like a good idea?

This site-I forgot how to add downloads for a game you make...

The title here speaks for itself. I don't know how to add downloads for my team's game Super Mario Seasons, it's been so long since I've submitted something, I must of forgot...

RM2K3-Well, this patch may be a problem

Um...problem...obviously, or else I wouldn't post here. First I'll explain what I did, then tell the problem. This patch was actually made so people can make their own title screens, or start the game immediately without one. I forgot what it's called, but it has one tiny detail that I didn't realize til' now.

You can't save and load files...

I have looked through the commands and I have seen a command to save, but never a command to load games. And since I no longer have a title screen, this is going to be a problem. I don't know how to reset the game back to having a title screen, without the problem of having to redo everything I had to do to get the files into the program, and get them working. It will take too long, and I don't feel like having to redo every sprite, animation, and song that I've put in this game. Should I leave it as it is, is there a way to load games without a title screen, or am I doomed to redo everything in my game?
I don't know what to do...:(

Please help...

SMBX: Music not working in SMBX

Well, my problem here is that I followed the instructions of putting custom music in levels.
Basically, I put the songs in my folder for my game, in this case my folder is "Mario Seasons", I copy the name into it, plus I also always have to put the ending in it, so in this case the file is "3-09. Area - Asteroid Coaster.MP3", and this has happened with other songs I've tried too, most of them being Asteroid Coaster. I click custom and...nothing.
The music won't play like it's suppose to. I don't know why! I copy the name of the song into the custom box for music, click custom, and nothing happens!
Could I get some help, I would be so grateful if someone told me what's going on, here's the song I'm trying to play:


Edit:Never mind... -_- as soon as I posted this, I went to go check the level, and test played it to see if it would work, out of curiosity, and guess what. It finally works, from now on, I should test play before I ask. Sorry. Someone delete this now, it never allows me to delete my own topics.

-RM 2K3- Easier menu theory may possibly go wrong-RM 2K3

I have an idea that should make it a lot better and easier for a starting menu, not a main menu, but a starting menu. In this case, the starting menu is sort of like Sonic 2's start screen of 1 player, 2 player, or Options, or maybe Pokemon's section where you select your name.
After you begin the game, a menu is suppose to appear and with the menu there also should be an icon. In this menu, the icon is actually your player, as to make not multiple pictures, but multiple events. After you select one of the options, you get a name AND a power that only that name has. Plus, the final option(choose name)would allow you to put names in that work like a pass code, maybe for cheats or extra character names and power to that character. But there's a problem with this, how would you find out which character has which power, a description of the power is too long, and the people need to know what you do to get that power to work. I know I'll also need common events for this. And I know this may need a lot of work, just like the normal menu that uses a lot of pictures and such.
Exactly what I want are 4 options, 3 being names, the 4th being a "Custom Name" option. And when you move the cursor to certain options, it will start a sound effect that is a voice telling you what the name is, and what the power is. Then you move to the next option, and the last sound effect ends, and a new one begins. And when you select the option though, the dialogue will end, and the actual game begins.
I know this sounds cheap, but I believe it's a good idea. Besides, there's an easy way, and a right way. But with the right imagination, even the easy way can be the right way :3

I hope I can get help on this subject!

SMBX-Screen Scrolling Lag

I have a problem in SMBX where in my ice level, with all ice and snow blocks slippery, and an Ice Cap Zone remix, "Ice Cap 4 Life" as the background song, and especially with invisible block puzzles, which are also slippery. I noticed that if I go high enough, then move my mouse, it leaves a trail that stays, plus, if I reach the top, then scroll down, the screen will stay the same for a few seconds, then it will seem as to having the top screen lower. This glitch started before I put the song in, and it was when I made the boundries for a level that scrolled for about 5 seconds high, and 3 seconds long, I shrank it to 3 seconds high as I was making the level. When the glitch first started, I had the snow hill background, but this computer BARELY lags, while the last computer lagged so much. Yet, this glitch has never happened before to me, could you help me please?

P.S.: I have only seen this happen in level editing mode.

Not really a problem with the site, more like a problem with the programs

There are viruses. How do I know this? I downloaded SMBX yesterday and all because of a stupid antivirus with constant warnings, it wouldn't allow me online. It was fixed, but why would it have to be fixed if there was no virus?
A virus is a program made y someone who just wants to screw your computer up, or wants you to actually pay money for being on a computer ala Antivirus programs. Please check the download links next time your making the download for a program please?
P.S.:I'm about to download SMBX again, and any anti-virus that comes up that's fake, I'm not clicking on.
P.S.S.:If it screws up this computer again, I'm banned, you'll lose a member if this happens. Just saying.

[Help] Super Mario Bro X Custom Music

How do you get custom music in Super Mario Bro X? I can't find it in the help file, and my first level is based off Sonic and I want Sonic music in the stage.
It's Mystic Cavern, and I want to get the Mystic Cave remix in the game.
