Generation works fine, but whenever I save what I got, it saves as a 0 kb midi file that has no data in it. This happens every time I try to save anything I've produced. What's going on?

The console also gives this error, which I assume is what's causing this.

EDIT: It seems like this happens only if I do too many generations at once, like more than 4. It seems I'll need to save the progress frequently or I may lose all my generation work.
EDIT 2: No, it seems that it can break even with one generation. I am LUCKY to be able to save anything I make in KobiMusic...

I also have the same issue MayroSMM was having, though the workaround site you linked did work for that at least.

I dunno man. I get you're working on this solo and trying to recoup some losses, so I'm not trying to be mean here. But while these generation models you put together are cool and worth paying some money for, the program itself is very basic and buggy to the point of losing work and needing to restart it to restore function. If this cost like $5 I wouldn't really mind, but at $15, I'm kinda feeling like I spent too much for what I received. I expected something a bit more polished at that price tag.

Hopefully I can get some support. >_<

Bruhhhh how did i mess up this badd

I am terribly sorry for all of this experience and lemme refund you rq (Itch.io must process it so it will likely be a few days)

I'm gonna try and debug this, i suspect i know the problem (it is an issue in the new update) but it may be upwards of a few hours.

Aw, well I appreciate that man! :O I don't REQUIRE a refund, I'd just like a functioning program more than anything, but if you feel like doing that it's your choice. I admit I've gotten very frustrated today in failing to use it, but if the bugs can be solved that would be great. I think your program has potential, it's just not there yet. (Kinda feels like it needs a $5 Early Access version or something until it's all polished up and maybe expanded a bit, then $15 would be fair. I guess Itch doesn't really have an Early Access feature though.)

Here, let me give you another console log I noticed. When I start the program up, it actually gives me this odd message which might relate to the other problem? Perhaps this will give you more to work off of.

The 'fluidsynth error' line happens at the end of program startup. It's very confusing as I have a perfectly-functional MIDI device on my system.

The stuff following that fluidsynth error line happens when I try to do my first generation. (The generations do seem to work and play fine, but it seems something is buggy with that process; the message certainly sounds ominous at least.)

Oh, managed to trigger one more error. Not sure how, but delivering.

Okay, the new build is up now, so hopefully upon redownloading it should all be fixed 🤞

Nevertheless, lemme try to get itch.io to refund you for this bad experience

Appreciate it man. I gave the new build a run. Unfortunately, now this happens after the 'login successful' prompt, and then everything immediately closes an instant later.

hidude56273 days ago

Apologies again, i seem to have mistakenly forgotten to include fluidsynth in the build

New build up again, hopefully should work this time 🤞

Oh...that would explain it yes! Oops.

I would love to check the new build to see if things have been ironed out, but that refund you did for me...it went through, I got the refund which I appreciate. However that also seemed to lock me out of further downloading the program's new builds... "This download page has been disabled and is no longer available. The purchase associated with it has been refunded." ...I imagine you didn't mean for that to happen. ^_^;

I know itch.io lets you hand over review keys/codes as a developer though... I'm a content creator and I've gotten some games for free via itch.io codes so that I could review them. Maybe you could toss me one of these so I can regain access to the program? You can contact me privately through Discord if that works; my username is 'charemplaysgames'.

Oh shoot, sorry about that. I just sent the friend request (i am hidude562 on discord)
