is arch linux based on ubuntu? If it is, there is a thread that might help you out. I used to have a linux issue with SMW.

you cannot become root? If you can then run (as root)

Code: [Select]

pacman -S fakeroot

if not, try downloading a folder of binaries from here and extracting it in your home directory, then running it from there

I'm using 1.7, and it's always worked fine...but just recently I got a whole bunch of maps from here, and now it crashes at the level select screen.  It seems to only happen on specific levels - for example, when I press right when at "Abandoned Castle (fixed)", or left at "Yarg".  Going into thumb view, it crashes when I try to leave the first page.  

I'm assuming I just got some corrupted maps or something, but don't know what to do about it.  I'm on Windows XP, if that matters, and it's just the basic "illegal operation needs to close etc" message.  

I wish I could say exactly what I dl'd from here, but I'm not sure, I was just kind of clicking on whatever looked interesting...a few individual maps, the 72dpi Best Map Collection, and I also imported the maps from Super Mario Warld.  Could that be it?

Mega thanks for any help.

Because the maps from here are only 1.8 beta compatibile.
if your looking for 1.7-1.7 AFE content go to the 1.7 section of Fanmade Content..

[Jester Frog]

Well, I'm pretty sure a lot of the 72dpi Best Map Collection contains 1.8-only compatible maps, and were you downloading those individual maps from the old 1.7 board or the current open Fanmade Content board?
So, I guess your best bet would be to just download the 1.8 Beta, or redownload 1.7 if you're dead set on using 1.7.

or go throught the long process of removeing those maps.

1.8 > 1.7 1.8 has more stuff in it, but I would say 1.8 = 1.7 AFE because AFE has all cool secrets.

but 1.8 has more tilesets Ro and as a map maker i prefer morw tilesets plus ading the ability to add the boot and such to levels and the diffrent platfom types and the worlds an-:head explodes from content overload:
