New Asset Resolver (Worldbuilder compatible)

This message was edited 4 times. Last update was at 3/2/10 5:01:00 AM

This asset resolver fixes the assets of a mod and still lets you load this mod with the worldbuilder.
Also, you can now change values like deposit amount of an oil derrick with mods instead of modified maps.

Usage: AssetResolver.exe MapOrModManifestFile

MapOrModManifestFile = location of your map's or mod's manifest file

Installation:
Just extract the files to your Mod SDK installation directory.
In order to make the program work, you need to install the RA3 Mod SDK Worldbuilder or extract the WBData_12.big (shipped with the RA3 Mod SDK Worldbuilder) and copy the four stream files (bin, imp, manifest, relo) to your "RA3 Mod SDK\BuiltMods" folder and overwrite existing ones.

It is now part of my Red Alert 3 Mod SDK Extra Files.

Wow.

Finally a WB compatible asset resolver. You are awesome, Bibber, enough said.

Where can I get the .bin file?
My big extractor crashes when I try to extract it.
But it extracted the other files fine.

You have to extract it, too. The problem is that this file is very large (1.21 GB) and some BIG editors can't handle it sometimes and give an "Out of memory" error or crash. I used jonwil's BigExtract.exe to extract it. Sometimes a restart of Windows helps.
I will check if I can implement an automatic extract routine.

^this
not sure if ill ever get change to use it, but got it just incase

Updated the file. It should extract the worldbuilder stream files now if they don't exist. And look at the Readme.txt, please.

Yeah lol. And you can change things like deposit amount of oil derricks now with a mod instead of compiling every single map.

I don;t understand the usage.

Do we create a short cut, use cmd line or do we use it through the mod builder program?

You can use all the ways you mentioned. But, usually command line.

You have to execute the Asset Resolver with a parameter and that parameter has to be the full path to your mod.manifest or map.manifest.

Bibber, you win the internet

again

So is this now a drop-in replacement for the other AssetResolver.exe?

This one here runs with different parameters, so you would have to adjust the defaultscript.cs
Also it requires the Mod SDK Worldbuilder installed if the WB stream files of it are not in the Mod SDK\BuiltMods folder.

I think we need an update from your RA3 Mod SDK extra files, Bibber.

We'll appreciate that once more.

Well, I want to have it as single download first that people can test if everything works.
