Standalone GFx Export tool

[Mougli]

Hello,

I've created a small tool that might help people who don't use Flash and as such don't have access to Scaleform's GFx Launcher extension.

Basically, you enter the location of your UDK build (the root of the build), it will find all SWFs files in your build. Then you can click "Export SWFs" to process them through the GFx exporter.

You can also double click on a .swf to preview it in the GFx Launcher.

Sorry for the ugly-looking UI, I didn't spend much time designing it

You need the .NET Framework 4.0 to run the application.

The link is below, let me know if you have any issues.

Disclaimer:
I'm doing nothing more than wrapping Scaleform's exporter and previewer in a GUI, so if some options combinations don't make sense or don't work, don't ask me! (though, do tell me as there still might be slight mistakes from my side).

v0.1.0
https://github.com/downloads/Mougli/...ter-v0.1.0.zip

v0.9.0
(no, there's no versions 0.2 to 0.8 ): https://github.com/downloads/Mougli/...r-v0.9.0.4.zip

- Exposed Exporter and previewer options.
- The output of the exporter and previewer are displayed at the bottom of the window.

Known issues:
- The output text area doesn't update in real time. It will only update when the export is complete/when the previewer is closed. I'll fix that the day when I know how to make asynchronous data binding in WPF .
- On my computer, Fullscreen preview does not work, but that's an issue with the previewer.

Fantastic job on a handy little app. I'll be sure to post a permanent link to this thread in the Getting Started post. I'll give you your first feature request too:

I'd like to see a page of exporter options that you can enable/set via checkboxes & dropdowns, instead of typing them into the Exporter options field.

Regardless, I'll enjoy using this bad boy.

I receive an error message at start app about that UDKGFxExporter work is stopped

Thanks Matt

I can add that if it's widely asked for. I don't how often the exporter options are/should be used.

If you don't want to wait, the source code is available on github.

@srv, what is your OS? Have you installed the latest .NET Framework? (I reckon it's 4.0 Client Profile on Vista/7, and 3.5 SP1 on Windows XP).

[srv]

windows 7 home edition
.NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile

[Mougli]

mm, strange. What's yours, Matt?

Just in case, you need the .config file in order for the application to work.

[srv]

the .config file is in archive? Or something is necessary still?

[Matt Doyle]

I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Not sure what my dot Net version is, probably latest. It works fine for me. Just extracted the app + config file in same directory and it works fine.

[Mougli]

I bet it does, you have the same setup as me

Yes srv, the config file should be in the zip.

I'll try to publish a proper ClickOnce application, should tell you if you're missing anything.

[seamanmur]

Does the operability of the program on the bit OS? I have XP x64. Put .NET 4.0. When you start - out with an error.

[Mougli]

Shouldn't, I compiled for x86, so it should run on 32 and 64 bits OS. Does Windows give any details about the crash?

[Mougli]

Okay, can you please get this one and tell me if it works?

https://github.com/downloads/Mougli/...r-v0.1.0.1.zip

[seamanmur]

http://clip2net.com/s/H2pE
And she wanted to send a report to Microsoft. Anywhere it is stored?
new version:
http://clip2net.com/s/H2s6

[Mougli]

grr, that's annoying. I'll see what I can do.

[darknet]

I would like to see what it look like or screen of it the program.

[Mougli]

I'll improve the UI once I get that thing working on everyone's computer.

[Mougli]

@srv, did you manage to get the new version working on your computer?

@seamanmur Which Windows XP Service Pack have you installed.

[srv]

2Mougli, yeah, has tried this version - it is installed normally, but when it's started i receive the same error message

[Mougli]

You get the same as semanmur? If not, can you paste the error details, please?

[srv]

I don't know, what error, windows7 simply informs that application is stopped and launches problem solution search

will look in log

Thank you Windows... :s

Is there anyone other than Matt who got this working? I'm suspecting as we most likely both have "developer computers", there might be something installed on our computers you guys don't have.

Now to figure out what it is...

[srv]

2Mougli, updated my previous post about error

[Mougli]

Thanks.

This might sound odd, but the common thing between seamanmur and you is that you seem to be using a russian windows (with a different character set, then). Might tell this is a locale problem.

Do you have access to a computer with an english widows you could try the software on?

[Deliverance6]

i get an error about .net framework 4

so installed the new framework, worked fine thanks

*xp pro sp2 - english UK
normal dev packs/software installed

[srv]

Thanks.

i have thought of the same, but in home edition versions aren't present possibility to change interface language

[seamanmur]

Which Windows XP Service Pack have you installed.

Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Версия 2003 Service Pack 2
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ 2.81 ГГц 8ГБ ОЗУ

SP3 for XP x64 not issued.

I do not have Windows without MUI...

I changed all the settings in "Regional and Language Options" on "English (United States)", rebooted, but the error remained...

[Mougli]

That wouldn't change anything if the locale (or culture, in microsoft slang) is the issue.

I'll try to address that in the next version, sorry about that.

[srv]

seamanmur, тебе надо поменять не региональные языковые настройки, а язык интерфейса - винда должна сама затребовать перезапуск в этом случае

seamanmur, you should change interface language - system should request itself restarting in this case

[seamanmur]

srv, There you can change the locale, location and language programs for non-Unicode. Windows itself is asked to reboot. Interface is partially replaced (Пуск <-> Start)...

Happy New Year everyone!

[seamanmur]

Maybe it will help.
I installed VS2010. She writes:

An unhandled exception of type "System.ArgumentException" occurred in mscorlib.dll
For more information: The path has an invalid form.

and:

path - Unable to get the local variable or argument "path", since it is not available at this point run, perhaps it is discarded in the optimization.

and:

The location of the call stack
mscorlib.dll!System.IO.Path.NormalizePath(string path, bool fullCheck, int maxPathLength) + 0xe12 байт

[Mougli]

It helps without helping, as I don't call this function myself.

Can you get the complete callstack?

[seamanmur]

I launched the first version of the program!
To do this, I've corrected the config, attached to the program.
Was:

        <UDKGFxExporter.Properties.Settings>
            <setting name="UDKPath" serializeAs="String">
                </ value>
            </setting>

made

        <UDKGFxExporter.Properties.Settings>
            <setting name="UDKPath" serializeAs="String">
                <value>D:\UDK\UDK-2010-08\</value>
            </setting>

If the original intention was to manually adjust the config, I do not understand...

[Mougli]

That's interesting.

That was not the intent to manually adjust the config. It's a file automatically generated for this kind of .NET applications, but it seems to have returned an incorrect syntax (</value>).

I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for investigating!

[Mougli]

I've uploaded a new version (on the first page) with a revised UI and nearly all of the exporter and previewer options exposed.
