Modder needs help

[NoiseBomb91]

Hey guys,

 

Having some issues trying to compile a mod I'm creating to test it out. I'm using the PSARC tool and am constantly getting an error. Below is an example of the command I am attempting to run and the output.

 

 

 

psarc.exe create -a --zlib --input=MY\DIR\file.txt --output=MY\DIR\file.psarc

Flags: absolute
NumJobs: 4
Output: MY\DIR\file.psarc
Compression: zlib level 9
psarc error: No files specified.

The file I am calling is set up as such:

MY/DIR/file.pak/TEXTURES/UI/FRONTEND/ICONS/SUBSTANCES/SUBSTANCE.COMMODITY.COMMON1.DDS
MY/DIR/file.pak/TEXTURES/UI/FRONTEND/ICONS/SUBSTANCES/SUBSTANCE.COMMODITY.DDS

Any ideas on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi noisebomb,

 

While I can't answer your question, I can tell you where the best place is to go for a quick answer, the NMS mod author Discord server here: https://goo.gl/uifZr1

 

You don't need to use voice (no one does). It's a text chat :)

--inputfile

--inputfile

should it also be --outputfile then?

 

I'm assuming this purely on consistency I have no idea.

I'm fairly certain that that is not correct. From the PSARC page:

 

 

Recompiling would be done with a command like this:psarc.exe create -a --skip-missing-files --inputfile=input.txt --output=SOMEPSARC.PSARC

 

 

 

Edit:

--inputfile

I think you got it there now that I reread what I just posted. Will reply again when I get the chance to try it out.

 

Update: the --inputfile is exactly what my issue was, thanks all!
