Changing the Exception Handler Message

This tutorial will guide you through editing the message seen on the Exception Handler screen (crash screen) in NewerSMBW. You will you need to know how to compile NewerSMBW's source code.

Step 1: Opening the file which contains the Exception Handler Message
In the NewerSMBW source code, locate the  file, located in the   folder.



Now, open the  file with Notepad++ or another text-editing software.

Step 2: Editing the Exception Handler Message
Go to the 147th line and you'll see the Exception Handler message (highlighted in the image below):



The text inside the quotations is what you'll want to edit. You can use  to create a new line,   to make a left slash character, and   to make a double-quote character. Make sure to end the text string with, so the Exception Info will display properly.

Here is an example of an edited Exception Handler Message: nw4r::db::Exception_Printf_("OOF! \"MyHack\" has crashed.\nPlease take a screenshot of the info below,\nsave it where you want and do what you want with it\nsince nobody cares about it\nYou can scroll through this report using the D-Pad.\n\n", GetRegionAndVersion, GetErrorDescription(OSError)); Once you're done editing the text string, save the file and compile NewerSMBW.

Step 3: Viewing the Edited Exception Handler Message In-game
To see the Exception Handler message, the game needs to crash. For simplicity, you can download this level to crash the game. Replace Newer's  (located in the   folder) with the custom one, and run the game. Once in the level, simply open the chest and the game will crash. You can then see your edited Exception Handler message.
