A7.77 Commercial Publishing Problem

A7.77 Commercial Publishing Problem - 07/29/09 13:28

We are working on a game project and we are using the A7.77 commercial version of the engine.We are having a problem with publishing a game.I have tried publishing both in the commercial and pro version of the engine but it gives me the same problem.The game studio support people asked me to move the game folder to My Documents and then try(which i did) but still face the same problem.Even the Projects provided with Game Studio like Car level and Shader test fail to publish and give the same error.
Im sure it is a problem with the engine version as the Car level and Shader test programs publish using other versions of the engine like 7.22.

When i publish the main file the following message pops up.

PS-
"Autobind:

2.C:\Program Files\GStudio7\d3dx9_30.dll

c:\documents and settings\s203565\desktop\color scheme source\gamemain.cd\"

Both these errors occur all the time and the exe isnt compiled in the game CD folder

first of all these are not errors, just info messages.

second are you sure you are checking the "Compile EXE" in publish window.
output of a small project:

Project Files:
1. yer.mdl
2. duvar.mdl
3. car.mdl

Create Engine: (tron.exe)
1. tron.exe


Autobind:
1. Skipped: C:\Users\Quadraxas\Desktop\lc\acknex.wdf
2. C:\Program Files\GStudio7\d3dx9_30.dll

subdirectory created:
c:\users\quadraxas\desktop\lc\tron.cd\

you seem to be skipping the red part.

You didn't mention what "Publishing Problem" you had at all, but if it was a missing EXE, then Quadraxas is right: You must not uncheck "Compile EXE" when you want an EXE to be compiled.

If that was not your problem, can you contact Support? If you have a Pro Edition, you are entitled to support help and they'll walk you through the publish process.

Yes,i did check Compile EXE (as i own a commercial license thats the only checkbox in the publishing section).I had already mailed the support people but the suggestion they gave me was of no help at all.

I get all the project files in the Gamecd folder except for the GameMain.exe

"Gamestudio Version/Edition: A7 Team Commercial 7.77"

Still actual? Because you canīt publish with a Team licence.

I have tried publishing even with a Pro license of A7.77

Same problem

If you have any such problem, and have a legal Pro Edition, just contact Support.

This is obviously not a bug but likely a license or setup problem. That's why we have a support that is expert in solving such issues. I don't see how else we could help you.

We have a record of one support question from you, where it turned out that you had your project not stored in a folder, but on the PC desktop. The help was given complimentary because you didn't provide a support ticket or Pro user ID, and was unrelated to your publishing issue.

You can't publish with a trial version. You need to buy it before you can publish executables.

I buy Retail Version and I have ID and Password , but still have error

Re: A7.77 Commercial Publishing Problem - 09/02/09 07:30

Then you should do as suggested and contact them about your version. With a legal and full version, publishing an EXE requires just a mouse click.
