this 3dmm movie doesn't work i tried open it but there's nothing there try it yourself if you don't believe me

Hmm, yes. Same thing happened to me!

[Jayrod]

The movie seems to require all 3DMM Expansions to be installed, as well as the files to those expansions copied to the ".\Microsoft Kids\3D Movie Maker" directory.

I am still working on a patch to fix the issue, and I'll update the 3MM file once I've done so, but at least this way Funny Bones can get the movie working so he can record it.

I added a link to the original post. The movie should work now.

yep it still work but why did you have to upload a new one?

It was an earlier test which had problems playing certain sound effects (eg. from the Nick expansion pack), causing the movie to stop wherever those sounds were used.

The reason why this movie didn't work in the first place is that it was made with the expansions dropped inside the 3DMM directory, so whenever someone would try to watch it, the movie would be expecting to find all of the expansions crammed alongside 3DMM's original data files, which just isn't the case if you installed the expansions properly.

The process of fixing this is to find every single reference to an actor/prop/sound/background/texture/3D Font in the movie that doesn't exist in 3DMM's data files, then point each one to the correct expansion pack's files. Each expansion pack has an ID assigned to it, so it's just as easy as figuring out which file belongs to what ID and replacing the wrong ID with the correct one. This process was of course automated using an API I'm working on.
