Cubemap generator issue

[OBRISON]

So I closed my game client.And compiled my map and I got this error:

Something broke: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The system cannot find the file specified at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithCreateProcess(ProcessStartInfo startInfo) at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() at CompilePalX.Compilers.CubemapProcess.FetchHDRLevels() at CompilePalX.Compilers.CubemapProcess.Run(CompileContext context)

I can send full compile log if needed.

I've had this before. Open up the game config json and check that all the paths to the compiling tools are right. Make sure it's right for vbspinfo and bsppack.

[OBRISON]

Everything is fine,I even deleted config and its still the same.

[maxdup]

Okay let's troubleshoot this. If I'm understanding this error correctly, the file not being found in the error message is vbspinfo.exe. Can you check in your compilepal folder for GameConfiguration/gameConfigs.json? Open that file with notepad and you'll find a configuration for each game, you'll need to check for me the path for "VBSPInfo" on the relevant game. Check that the path is correct and make sure that vbspinfo.exe exists at that location (don't mind the double slashes, these count as one). I'm not sure what the problem is exactly but I'm betting it's going to be in there.

Getting the same error.

@Exactol Please help.

[maxdup]

@Servius alright, so the issue seems to be that Garry's mod does not ship with vbspinfo.exe in its GarrysMod\bin folder. The cubemap generator relies on vbspinfo.exe to function properly. The short term fix for you might be to copy vbspinfo.exe from an other source game into your bin folder. But I'll be changing the cubemap generator so that it does not rely on vbspinfo.exe in the future.
