[Question/Help] Build/Compile from Source Code

[SantiagoFeresin]

Since there's no releases page or build instructions, I tried searching how to compile it myself. I had a lot of errors and couldn't compile. I was hoping if you could give some insight on how to do it, or alternatively upload the app already compiled.

I'd have to look and see what you're using to try and compile it. I'm using VS2022 Enterprise (though any other edition should work fine). The projects are all .NET 7 so you'll need that installed. You can run dotnet --info to see what versions of the .NET SDKs, runtimes, etc. are installed. Here's the output when I run dotnet --info on my local machine:

From within Visual Studio, you can use Debug or Release configurations, but the platform needs to be x86 because Steam, and more specifically steamclient.dll, are 32-bit.

You can add me on Discord (@gundwn) or something if you have more questions on it. I don't have binaries uploaded here since it's still very much a work in progress. Worst case scenario I can build it and send them on Discord in a zip or something if you want.

When you get a chance try pulling down the latest and rebuilding.

Hello, hope it's fine for me to comment here. I've been able to compile it fine even before the update 2 days ago, after installing .Net 7. I tried with the latest update and without, but I have been unable to run the exe successfully. It always starts up with an error along the lines of:

"An error occured on application startup. Line "14" and line position "14". Provide value on 'DevExpress.Mvvm.UI.ViewModelSourceExtension' threw an exception.

@BasedOnPixels Totally fine, and thanks for translating. I wonder if it's something with the DevExpress MVVM library's localization. I can try updating it to the latest along with the rest of the dependencies.

In the meantime, there should be a log file created in \logs\errors.txt as well as a normal log file in \logs\log.txt. Can you check and see if there's more information (like the stacktrace or innerexception) that was logged?
