Unable to build. #10

Closed TheEvilness closed 4 years ago

TheEvilness commented 4 years ago

Extracting the master folder, and trying to build either the CLI or GUI versions fails, with GUI giving this: image What exactly am I missing?

AdmiralCurtiss commented 4 years ago

You probably haven't cloned the submodules. Try git submodule update --init --recursive.

TheEvilness commented 4 years ago

Where exactly do I do this? I'm not very used to github and etc..

AdmiralCurtiss commented 4 years ago

How did you clone this, did you just download the ZIP? If so you also need to download these two repositories and unpack them into the respective subfolders: https://github.com/AdmiralCurtiss/HyoutaUtils https://github.com/AdmiralCurtiss/utf_tab-sharp

Alternatively, you can try cloning with Github Desktop, which I believe clones recursively by default: https://help.github.com/en/desktop/contributing-to-projects/cloning-a-repository-from-github-to-github-desktop

Well, I got it to work with Github Desktop, but how do I actually use this tool..? I haven't found any explanation anywhere..

HyoutaTools is a collection of functions to pack and unpack video game archives. Although, I used HyoutaTools long time ago, and now changed a lot, but the basic usage maybe the same. here are some tips may help you:

  1. open the folder that HyoutaTools.exe located.
  2. check all files whether satisfied the requirements(*.dll or some new files required)
  3. open terminal or command line prompt, type HyoutaTools.exe
  4. It will list all of functions
  5. check the functions' usage
  6. enjoy! I hope this will help you! Thanks for all the best works of Admiral

Looks incredibly odd to me.. it also has issues loading plugins if I try to run HyoutaToolsCLI from cmd, resulting in gust not getting any commands..

AdmiralCurtiss commented 4 years ago

You want to first run HyoutaToolsCLI just like that to get a list of tools, then select one by copying the name of one of them and attaching it to the program call, eg. running HyoutaToolsCLI Gust.g1t.Extract if you want to run the g1t extractor. Then you usually get the tool-specific usage, in this case:

>HyoutaToolsCLI Gust.g1t.Extract
Usage: infile.g1t

So you just attach your g1t filename you want to extract to that, eg.

>HyoutaToolsCLI Gust.g1t.Extract c:\_nosurge\PS3_GAME\USRDIR\Data\PS3\ui\townmap_ferion.g1t

or whatever, and then it'll extract that g1t file.

It not loading plugins is normal, it's just notifying you that since there's no HyoutaToolsPlugins folder it won't even attempt to load them. I should probably document that infrastructure at some point...

Thanks to that explanation, I finally managed to make it work out, thanks for that! Funny how it was the same game as well, it really is interesting to see how they've designed the UI, etc.
