I’m trying to make a PS3 version of Into You, and Magma keeps throwing this error:
Magma: C3 Roks Edition v3.3.2

I’ve tried renavigating to every item in my project (the album art, the individual audio tracks, and the MIDI), restarting Magma, running Magma as Administrator, and restarting my computer. I’ve also checked my drum mix events, moved everything past 1.2, and made sure to use drums0 because I only have one drum stem and my drum mix is set as Kit in Magma. Can anyone help me out here?
EDIT: Making a new Magma project worked, but I still want to find out what’s wrong with the old one.
I know the fix and why it happens. It’s a bug with Magma. If you’ve added audio to more than 1 drum parts, and save and reopen, and then proceed to reduce the number of drum parts, Magma won’t disable the extra parts. This confuses Magma because it sees that those parts are enabled so it should add those audio files into the mix. But because they don’t have a location, magma will try to use the working drive label, in this case C, and finds that C is not a file.
Here’s the fix. Open the rbproj file in a text editor other than Notepad. Find this section.
'tracks'
('drum_layout' 'drum_layout_kit')
(
'drum_kit'
('enabled' 1)
('channels' 2)
('pan' -1.00 1.00)
('vol' 0.00 0.00)
(
'file'
""
)
)
(
'drum_kick'
('enabled' 0)
('channels' 0)
('pan' 0.00)
('vol' 0.00)
(
'file'
""
)
)
(
'drum_snare'
('enabled' 0)
('channels' 0)
('pan' 0.00)
('vol' 0.00)
(
'file'
""
)
)You’ll see that there is an ‘enabled’ spot on each ‘drum_…” section. It will most likely be 1 in your file. Set the ones not in use to 0, save, and re-open the file. It should now build correctly.
This is a must have fix for those who make PS3 versions specifically because the 360 version has multiple drum stems.
Answered his (DIFFICULT) question inside 5 hours of his post – admirable and nicely done.
