Lyeed 11 Posted April 8, 2018 Build with Addonbuilder Contextual menu shortcut I was always annoyed when I had to build my mods or mission. It takes time to start Addonbuilder, enter your path blablabla. I wanted something quick, we're in 2018 why should it takes more than 30 seconds to build manually something ? PboManager have this feature in the contextual menu, I wanted the same, here we are.

Known bugs : - It seems you can't build directly in the P: drive. You can trick this by not building your folder in the drive's root folder. Please report any bug or malfunction you may found. Thanks for your reading and have a nice day 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Belbo 462 Posted April 8, 2018 Great idea... But for me, on Windows 7, the installation does not work. No folder is being created, changing the install.bat according to readme does not do anything. The context menu entries are shown (without missing symbol) and the registry entries seem to be added, but beside that no files are being created during installation or executed upon selecting the context menu entry.

Is your steam open ? I think it needs to be because of addonbuilder's dependencies Edit : not really sure about that, will check Do you have a folder in your %appdata% called BuildWithAddonbuilder ? If no : during the installation process, do you have any informations about files being copied ? If yes : could you remplace line 3 with in Build.bat (%appdata%/roaming/BuildWithAddonbuilder/Build.bat) echo %1 %2 "%~dp2\" -clear -include=%APPDATA%\AddonBuilderContextualMenu\types_included.txt > log.txt And post the content of your log.txt file Thanks for your interest !

Belbo 462 Posted April 8, 2018 Oh, I have to back-pedal. I misread your readme - I had to put in the installation location of the AddonBuilder.exe and not where I would want the files from the Build-with-AddonBuilder to be installed to. Works fine now. Classical ID10t error. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HorribleGoat 1473 Posted July 20, 2018 Just as a tip I would suggest avoiding Addon Builder with anything else but missions as it lets you pack in all kinds of errors. Mikeros PboProject is far better in regards of error reporting and ability to produce properly working .PBO Also never ever pack anything onto P: drive keep it clean from anything else but your development data.
