Issue building starter project

Hey, I'm having an error when trying to compile the starter project for the first time (following this section of the docs: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/Development/BeginnersGuide/project_setup.html#_project_compilation) I'm getting this:

Project Setup :: Satisfactory Modding Documentation

Now that you’ve installed all of the prerequisite software and got a copy of the starter project, it’s time to start setting the...

Solution:

I guess it's a pretty hacky fix, but you can remove the PreBuildSteps entry from the .uproject

(Identified known error ExitCode6MoreInfoNeeded in your logs matching exited with code 6) Exit code 6 is just a generic failure message. If you'd like help with this error, make sure that you also share the rest of the output as described here: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/Development/BeginnersGuide/project_setup.html#_the_command_exited_with_code_6 -# Responding to exitcode6moreinfoneeded triggered by @Spokloo

SpoklooOP•2mo ago

That's the output I got from the Output > Build tab so I don't have further info I don't think

Rex•2mo ago

Yeah, the bot is meant to tell people that only post a screenshot of that "exited with code" thing

Mircea•2mo ago

The specified path could not be found.

Now which path does that refer to...

SpoklooOP•2mo ago

Yeah I'm not sure as well Ah ok!

Mircea•2mo ago

powershell -Command "$file = '$(ProjectDir)\Plugins\Wwise\Source\AudiokineticTools\Private\WwiseProject\AcousticTextureParamLookup.cpp'; if (Test-Path $file) { if (!(Select-String -Path $file -Pattern 'UE_LOG(LogAudiokineticTools, Warning,' -SimpleMatch -Quiet)) { (Get-Content $file) -replace 'UE_LOG\(LogAudiokineticTools, Error,', 'UE_LOG(LogAudiokineticTools, Warning,' | Out-File -encoding UTF8 $file } }"

This is what it's trying to run, to fix an issue with wwise So I guess the only file would be $(ProjectDir)\Plugins\Wwise\Source\AudiokineticTools\Private\WwiseProject\AcousticTextureParamLookup.cpp Unless it's referring to powershell

SpoklooOP•2mo ago

The file does exist and so does powershell 🤔 Maybe $(ProjectDir) is not the right one?

Mircea•2mo ago

Check C:\SatisfactoryModding\SatisfactoryModLoader\Intermediate\Build\Win64\x64\FactoryEditor\Development\PreBuild-1.bat It should hopefully still exist even after the build

SpoklooOP•2mo ago

Yep it does

@echo off
powershell -Command "$file = 'C:\SatisfactoryModding\SatisfactoryModLoader\Plugins\Wwise\Source\AudiokineticTools\Private\WwiseProject\AcousticTextureParamLookup.cpp'; if (Test-Path $file) { if (!(Select-String -Path $file -Pattern 'UE_LOG(LogAudiokineticTools, Warning,' -SimpleMatch -Quiet)) { (Get-Content $file) -replace 'UE_LOG\(LogAudiokineticTools, Error,', 'UE_LOG(LogAudiokineticTools, Warning,' | Out-File -encoding UTF8 $file } }"

@echo off
powershell -Command "$file = 'C:\SatisfactoryModding\SatisfactoryModLoader\Plugins\Wwise\Source\AudiokineticTools\Private\WwiseProject\AcousticTextureParamLookup.cpp'; if (Test-Path $file) { if (!(Select-String -Path $file -Pattern 'UE_LOG(LogAudiokineticTools, Warning,' -SimpleMatch -Quiet)) { (Get-Content $file) -replace 'UE_LOG\(LogAudiokineticTools, Error,', 'UE_LOG(LogAudiokineticTools, Warning,' | Out-File -encoding UTF8 $file } }"

Mircea•2mo ago

Looks correct What happens if you run that .bat (from cmd so that you can see the output before it closes)

SpoklooOP•2mo ago

No errors lmao wtf And no messages in cmd

Mircea•2mo ago

I guess try building the project again?

SpoklooOP•2mo ago

Same error

Mircea•2mo ago

Wtf

Solution

Mircea•2mo ago

I guess it's a pretty hacky fix, but you can remove the PreBuildSteps entry from the .uproject

SpoklooOP•2mo ago

Then do I generate VS project files again?

Mircea•2mo ago

Shouldn't need to, but doesn't hurt

SpoklooOP•2mo ago

Ok sure It seems to be running smoothly for now What is the command supposed to do? And should I readd it later or should I let it permanently deleted?

Mircea•2mo ago

It fixes one line of a wwise file because it logs an error, which breaks Alpakit It only needs to run once

SpoklooOP•2mo ago

Ah so when I ran it in powershell it should have worked right? Hope it won't break it 🤞 Anyway thanks for you help

Mircea•2mo ago

No problem

SpoklooOP•2mo ago

It seems to have failed again after 38min of wait But I don't see any error messages this time, other than the exit code 6 thing

Rex•2mo ago

Try building again (do NOT rebuild) and see if there's errors

SpoklooOP•2mo ago

Oh thanks, that worked

Rex•2mo ago

That's odd, but it worked so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

SpoklooOP•2mo ago

Yeah xD I don't know if I should make another thread, but I've got an issue with alpakit when trying to package SML
