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...

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

Spokloo•5d ago

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

Rex•5d ago

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

Mircea•5d ago

The specified path could not be found.

Now which path does that refer to...

Spokloo•5d ago

Yeah I'm not sure as well Ah ok!

Mircea•5d 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

Spokloo•5d ago

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

Mircea•5d ago

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

Spokloo•5d 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•5d ago

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

Spokloo•5d ago

No errors lmao wtf And no messages in cmd

Mircea•5d ago

I guess try building the project again?

Spokloo•5d ago

Same error

Mircea•5d ago

Wtf

Solution

Mircea•5d ago

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

Spokloo•5d ago

Then do I generate VS project files again?

Mircea•5d ago

Shouldn't need to, but doesn't hurt

Spokloo•5d 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•5d ago

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

Spokloo•5d 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•5d ago

No problem

Spokloo•5d 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•5d ago

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

Spokloo•5d ago

Oh thanks, that worked

Rex•5d ago

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

Spokloo•5d 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
