Windows YYC GM Assets Compiler Error after Chunk AUDO

K

Kobold

Guest
Problem solved:
I have reinstalled Visual Studio 2017 Community and manually searched the "vcvars32.bat" within the the Visual Studio -> 2017 Folder... and it worked.

//---BEFORE
Hello fellow Game Designers....

When trying to compile through the YYC instead of VM, I get an error in form of a GM Assets Compiler Message Box telling me "Unable to find specified file." right after the Output window has reached "...writing Chunk AUDO" with the option to report the error.

This happens on my actual project and also on an empty project both at the same line of execution.

I have got the latest Runtime and Microsoft VSC++ 2015 Build Tools
My system runs Windows Server 2016 (as I am developing on a GPU rendering farm circuit)...

I can not seem to find an actual Log-File that tells me what file it was unable to find, and what it exactly did.

Cheers!

Edit: Some more information in form of the UI.LOG file for this one session of loading GMS2 and YYC compiling and then closing:

Also happens on windows 8 ....
... did anyone get the YYC in GMS2 to compile using the MSVC++2015 build tools.. and the latest runtime of the IDE?

thanks

Edit: ...works well on my Mac though, haha. (I know, I know... it's not linked to MSVC++)
I do have come to realize that the Digital-Pad on my Gamepad doesn't work (gp_padl, gp_padr, and so on) when running my project on Mac... all the face buttons work and shoulder-buttons though.

I have found a workaround:
Code: 
if instance_exists(objGoodWeather)
{
    if point_distance(x,y,objSunBeam.x,objSunBeam.y)>outterLimits
    {
        var i;
        i = instance_create_depth(objSunBeam.x,objSunBeam.y,earthSurface,objMyself);
        i.direction = point_direction(x,y,objSunBeam.x,objSunbeam.y);

        with(YYC)
        {
              instance_destroy();
        };
    };
};

haha, just kidding guys, don't hate me, please.

I may have to ask one of you out there to do me a favour, if it is not too much trouble:
Can someone please run the YYC on an empty project with MSVC++2015 build tools and return to me wether it worked out for them or not.
Maybe it's just my build tools set-up.

I wasn't able to properly explain my issue to the Bug-Reporting system.... so I rely on the many Error-Reports which I have sent prior using the Error Dialog's send button, haha.

Click to expand...
Just tested my WIP project and an empty room project using YYC and it worked fine.
Using the latest version of GMS2, and my VS path is set to: C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/VC/bin/vcvars32.bat

Thanks for taking the time.

I wish I could get it to work, haha.

Hello again.
I was able to get around recording the scenario and include the UI.LOG for this particular session. (Edit: See 1st post)

Does one require to run Source Control or Steam to be installed?
Or even be connected to the internet?
...for getting YYC to work? I mean that wouldn't make too much sense, but is it possible?

cheers.

Edit2: I am a horrible editor, haha. - .../Solution, solution!: I ended up simply downsizing on features and resources, and tweaked the details to only half, also cutting the Video Extension (rendering Cut-Scenes is a pain anyways, as good as they convey the story... they are very processing-power expensive)... and now the game runs very smooth and doesn't take that long to load (so no YYC required). Even though I can't use certain things it is still quite nice. I feel like a Super Nintendo Hardware game maker now, haha (getting best out of smaller things). :)
