this issue was fixed or should have been fixed in one of the beta updates. are you running the official 1.0 release?

 

also, yeah, what’s the path you’re saving to? it needs to be a path Magma can access.

 

also, moving this, since it has no place being its own thread.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply, and sorry about posting wrong.

Yes the official magma C3 1.0 release.

I re downloaded magma c3 today and I have same problem.

I wrote over magma version 2.0.101.0.

I tried several paths, C:Breath1 E:Breath2 F:Breath1, I have 3 hard drives.

All of these paths work in Magma version 2.0.101.0.

 

Again sorry for any thing I mess up wile posting, This is My first experience asking a question in a forum.

You guys ROCK!

Thanks Again!!!!!!

that’s going to be difficult to troubleshoot and you’re going to have to do a lot of it yourself. there’s no way for me to test when it works fine on my end and it seems to work for the majority of users. so we need to find what is different in your situation, so I can correct it for you and going forward.

 

so, what is “C:Breath1”, I notice you mention different drives but always with Breath1. do you have a folder named Breath1? or are you typing this in manually? are there files in that folder? what is the full path in the textbox? including the name and extension of the file? is there are file you’re trying to overwrite? is it only happening only with one project or with all projects?

 

if you can confirm that it works fine with old magma and not with this one, upload the .rbproj file (don’t need anything else) so I can see the directory structure.

Hello,

“what is “C:Breath1”

This a new empty folder named for a song that I authored.

I get this error without entering any information in any fields just by clicking on the file path tab.

I agree that if no one else has this problem that the cause is on my end.

I will format and load up fresh new copy of windows and report back the results.

 

Thanks very much for your time.

whoah whoah you don’t have to do anything to Windows.

 

I think it may have to do with your folder structure. you didn’t provide me the rest of the information I asked for.

Hey TrojanNemo, I was thinking and I don’t know if this is a good idea to add or if it’s even possible but I was wondering if you could somehow allow Magma to have custom practice section names. I thought it would be a neat idea/addition. Like for example instead of saying “Gtr Solo 1” you could say like “SHRED!!!” or something along those lines like the Guitar Hero games did. Just an idea though.

Hello,

 

I tried with no path in the text box.

I tried with c:Breath1breath.

I tried with c:Breath1breath.rba.

I tried typing this in manually and created folders with windows explorer.

I tried many file and folder names, all folder names were root and empty.

There is no .rbproj file because it won’t let complete a file save.

I’m not importing or overwriting any files.

Did i miss something?

 

Thanks

well, for one, why are you TYPING it in? there is a button there for a reason. click on it, select a folder. simple as that.

Not going to bother with adding it in Magma because there would be no way to have everyone agree on what to use. You want SHRED, I want Guitar Solo, someone else may say GUITAR SMASH, or whatever. point being it’s not an easy fix, it involves a lot of decrypting, hex editing, etc. and even then we have a limitation. RB3 won’t take the sections with spaces, there’s a limit of characters, and probably other limitations.

 

but as farottone showed above for that Stars song he did, I added custom sections AFTER compiling with Magma, by going back in Reaper. I’ve also done this a couple other times. Abbey Road Medley is also like this. I keep a Magma approved EVENTS section and a custom EVENTS section. mute the custom, compile with the approved one, then hide that one and export with the custom one. then replace that midi into the CON. annoying but doable.

Previously I answered,

“I get this error without entering any information in any fields just by clicking on the file path tab”.

 

 

“well, for one, why are you TYPING it in?”

Because I have been trying every single possible method I could think of.

I read every post in this forum before i asked.

 

Thanks

so, you’re clicking on this?

 

and then you’re getting this box asking you where to save to?

 

 

and when you select a folder to save to, you get an error? are you putting a file name? Because you’re supposed to SAVE the project itself, by clicking on File -> Save As. that gives you a filename, which when you click on the button in my picture above, it’ll be default filename.rba…if you just open Magma and click on the button above, and click Save, you’re not giving a file name…and I hope you understand C:Breath1.rba is not a valid path because, well, it’s not a valid path. you’d need something like C:Breath1mysong.rba.

 

see if any of the above fix your problems.

[myfix]

That fixed me up!

Thanks!!!!!!!!

can you please post what you were doing wrong so others can learn in case this comes up again?

thanks.

[myfix]

Seems the problem was operator malfunction.

 

What I was doing was clicking on file path tab that you pointed at in the picture.

Than I created and named a new folder, than I typed in a name into the file name field and hit save.

resulting in the path error.

 

 

But when I used save as everything worked.

 

Thanks for your patients with this old guy.
